Nice space filled with tons of balloon choices, stuffed animals, Graeter's ice cream, lots of fudge choices, and specialty truffles, bonbons, etc... I am not a fan of chocolate, etc, but I could appreciate the detail, presentation and most certainly the taste these beauties contained. I got a delicious and refreshing raspberry sorbet, and my husband got the bourbon ball (?) ice cream, which he thoroughly enjoyed. Both employees were friendly and helpful while we made our choices. We ate them at their table outside. From the other reviews I read after we went there, they seem like a fantastic small business, so patronize them!

Their truffles looked beautiful, so I decided to order a small box to go. I got carrot cake, dark champagne, s'mores, and peanut butter chocolate (that wasn't the name, but the flavor profile is like Reese's). I haven't tried them yet, but they look and smell good, and I know they'll be excellent. All the while, I had excellent conversation with the staff there -- I didn't catch her name though. Swing by if you're in town!

I stopped in today for a couple of items for a care package. Immediately I was greeted at the door asking if it was my first time in. I've been in several times for holiday gifts. They have a massive selection of bourbon balls. They've been a huge hit every time they've been gifted. Each time I've visited, they've offered a sample of a bourbon ball. It's a great place to introduce visitors to bourbon balls! I haven't had the chance to do the bourbon tasting here yet but it's definitely on my list. You can add on chocolates!

We have popped in here every time and are never disappointed. We found this spot because of a distillery tour at Angel's Envy - they do chocolate pairings with the bourbon. It was so good, we had to check it out.

However I felt like our pairing / tasting was rushed, the chocolatier was busy talking to another couple doing a pairing, which is fine, but we could've waited and got the full experience.

We especially loved the heart shaped red hot candies. They give out samples to taste. The red hots are perfect! Not burn your mouth hot! I bought several bags to take home to friends in California. We enjoyed exploring the museum room with all of the candy tins from years past. They have original candy making equipment and all of the history to offer a nostalgic experience. Be sure to try the marshmallow, chocolate carmel and pecan treat. The Modjeskas definitely came home with us to share with family and friends. I love these little town treasures!

Now, imagine the nuggets were sold by the pound, and you paid for the extra ones you didn't want. I fully accept the fact that I might be wrong, but when I sat down just outside, I found more than I'd expected/wanted, and I paid for it. Okay... maybe it was an "oopsie-doodle", it was near my birthday, so all is forgiven. What about the chocolates? I can't deny that the selection is amazing, however, where it comes to quality, I have to admit I was not blown away. That isn't to say I felt they weren't great - they were! At the same time, there are other candy stores with similar products and concepts whose products are no worse. So, what does that leave us with? Schimpff's Confectionery is a very good, old-timey candy store. However, while I can't say their ranking as #1 best candy store in America in 2025 by USA Today is undeserved. However, I personally wouldn't go too far out of my way to get some of their chocolate candies.

Cute little candy shop in Southern Indiana [New Albany IN]…read more Located in the historic part of downtown of New Albany this candy store specialized in handcrafted French-style macarons and chocolates. The storefront is the cutest with pink motif colors... pink awning, pink doors, pink signage. Inside is nostalgic. They have pre-packaged candy as well as candy by the pound. Mix & match chocolates from the Sugar Bar and choose from a large or small candy cup. I chose the small candy cup for $10 and had it filled with milk chocolate peanuts and milk chocolate raisins. Friendly customer service. When someone exits the shop they bid you with a "have a sweet day." Family owned and operated. Instagram: @newalbanysugarshoppe Review #3878

Look for the sidewalk signs to lead the way. And despite it's small size it is absolutely chock full of sweet goodness! I saw several candy brands that made me feel nostalgic.

I ended up getting some chocolate dipped Oreos, sprinkled in edible glitter, for my kids, who went nuts over them. (I maybe snuck a bite too!) I love taking time to explore New Albany, to see what new-to-me shops I can discover. The New Albany Sugar Shoppe was a highlight during my recent trip across the river.

This place smells amazing the second you walk in, and the staff are always super friendly and ready to offer samples (which makes it way too easy to fall in love with new flavors). I tried the Salty Caramel this time -- perfectly balanced, not too sweet, with just the right crunch -- but my all-time favorite has to be the Sweet and Spicy. It's got that addictive kick that keeps you reaching for more. Whether you're a local or just passing through the Barret Ave area, Froggy's is an absolute must-stop. Fresh popcorn, creative flavors, and the kind of small business charm that makes you smile. Highly recommend!

There's so much to see and the spaces are tight, including the upstairs rooms. (Parents with strollers or exploring toddlers, this was one of my least favorite spots to take mine when my boys were younger. You've been warned.) You're going to find a bunch of things you don't need yet want plus gifts for friends and family. The store is full of home decor, jewelry, artwork, candles, and even more home decor. During the holiday season they are known for their ornaments which they dangle from the ceiling. I've bought several items, including furniture, from the Red Tree and I love it all. Prices can be a bit of a splurge but the unique vibe makes up for it. Always friendly service. Find them primarily at the front counter downstairs. Street parking is available and most without meters.
