Everything in the store is kosher, some items are dairy (dairy items are clearly labeled) and the staff is knowledgeable about allergens and can guide you appropriately if you inquire. Prices? Well, if you want cheap candy, go to the supermarket. Candy Squared is a boutique selling upscale candy with fine presentation, and it tastes at least as good as it looks, so in my opinion, the prices are very reasonable for what you're getting. In addition to everything else, Candy Squared is a woman-owned, local, independent business that's well worth supporting.

We love seeking out local ice cream shops whenever we travel, and we've probably visited around a…read morehundred over the years. We know not every place is going to be a home run, but Kilwins in Evanston had one of the worst price-to-quality ratios we've ever experienced. The prices were shocking. We paid $66 for three tiny scoops and three small scoops. Even the cheapest single scoop was over $9, and if you wanted two flavors in one scoop, you had to order the larger $11 option. I've been to plenty of premium ice cream shops that charge more than average, but this felt completely out of proportion to what we received. The selection was also underwhelming. There weren't many flavors, and nothing stood out as particularly creative or memorable. Unfortunately, the biggest disappointment was the ice cream itself. It seemed like it may have been made with quality ingredients, but every flavor we tried was overwhelmingly sweet. Instead of tasting balanced or rich, the sweetness drowned out everything else. We don't mind paying premium prices when the quality justifies it, and we certainly don't expect every ice cream stop to become a favorite. But after visiting so many great ice cream shops over the years, this was easily one of the most disappointing experiences we've had. Between the extremely high prices, limited selection, slow and blah service, and mediocre ice cream, we won't be back. Maybe their other stuff is good. But the ice cream portion of the store is best avoided.

I was amazed by the steady stream of customers coming through the door--many of them regulars who clearly knew exactly what they were there for! The sales associate was absolutely delightful and took the time to explain the different sizes and varieties available. I also enjoyed learning a bit about the shop's history. It's a charming little store that has been around for 53 years. Although the original owner sold the business to her neighbors about a decade ago, the original recipe has remained unchanged. The chocolate-covered toffee is simply outstanding. Each piece has that perfect buttery caramel crunch, coated in rich chocolate, making it incredibly addictive and well worth the price. One fellow customer even shared a great tip: save the crumbs and mix them into homemade chocolate chip cookie dough for an extra crunchy, toffee-filled treat. I'll definitely be trying that! This is truly a hidden candy gem and a place I'll happily return to whenever I'm craving something sweet. Highly recommended!
