My wife and I both enjoy sweets...and seeing this newer shop in Eureka Springs gave us a place to kill a little time while waiting for a table at a nearby restaurant. It's FILLED with what I'd call "old-time" candy - the stuff we got as kids...Bit-O-Honey, Zotz, Sweeties, Mallow Cups, Slo Pokes, Jolly Ranchers...on and on and on. Even candy cigarettes! (I know, I know...bad influence, yes...and they don't SAY cigarettes anymore, but it still brings a wave of nostalgia when I see them)
A lot of the candy is sold in bulk by weight...you grab a bag, fill it with whatever sweets you want from the bins, and you're good to go! They also had some of my favorite candy bars...in particular, Big Hunk bars! Those are getting hard to find anymore, it seems.
They also have a wide variety of old-style soda in bottles, as well as a lot of novelty sodas (buttered corn soda, anyone?)
Lots of cool and fun posters, novelty license plates...a little bit of everything. Just a fun shop to visit when in Eureka Springs. read more
