    Coffee bean bag.

    Sweet Ethans is cute little family-owned candy and novelty shop in Monrovia. I like they have a wide variety of candies and honey. In addition, they have baseball jerseys, coffee bags and mugs. Store was very neat and plenty of natural light. Atmosphere was relaxing and at the same time very spacious. This store is like a Willy Wonka for kids. Lol. Overall, I liked exploring this candy store.

    Sweet Ethan's is a confectionery store in Monrovia on Myrtle Ave. We decided to step in at this confectionery wonderland of sweet and many surprises at Sweet Ethan's. This store is amazing they sell candies from current and also from the past since you could from your childhood. They also sell novelty items like Pokémon cards and other you are looking for. Also, they sell Hello Kitty items as well. The prices are reasonable and a wide selection of items.

    I love how huge the selection of candy and soda this place has!! It was so fun browsing around and finding the perfect candies. You MUST check out their freeze dried candy section!! They have freeze dried cake!!! Like a whole slice of chocolate cake that's freeze dried!! That's insane. I picked up freeze dried jolly ranchers and they're so crispy and fluffy. Its a whole new experience eating them. It's so hard to explain what they taste like. Maybe like crunchy cotton candy?? I give it 4 star because the price was kinda ridiculous on some items. Just I found a bag of candy they were selling for $10, but on Amazon you can get it for $5. Also the truffle chocolates are pricey, like 4 pieces of chocolate for $13. And they had sodas on sale but the cashier wasn't aware of the sale going on and charged full price, but we caught the error and she fixed it. So just be weary of that and do your due diligence and check the sale prices before paying.

    Sweet Ethan's is an adorable candy shop in Old Town Monrovia that offers an array of candy and sugary goodness from all around the world. Seriously, as soon as I stepped inside I felt like Charlie in Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory! With my golden ticket in hand I perused the store from wall to wall, until I finally stopped in front of their UK candy aisle. Unable to help myself, I began to grab one of nearly everything (I love British and Scottish candy/desserts) until my nearly non-existent common sense finally kicked in and I somehow found the willpower to stop myself. I started to walk out the door telling myself the last thing I need is candy or more desserts right now, when I caught sight of their cookie section next to the cash register. And what did I see you ask? None other than a circus animal cookie! I love circus animal cookie themed desserts, so I was no longer able to resist. And since the floodgates had officially opened, I also grabbed some macarons, which I was told they special order from this famous macaron baker out of Atlanta called the Macaron Queen. And let me just tell you, everything I purchased was delicious! Definitely going back for more, but I'll have to mentally prepare myself so I don't end up walking away with a Halloween haul's worth of candy ;)

    Happy National Chocolate Caramel Day!! Yummm!! My new fave chocolate shop!!

    Wanna travel back in time to the magical days of feeling like a kid in a huge Willy Wonka heaven? This is your spot! I seriously couldn't believe how massive this place is once I stepped inside the quaint, unassuming storefront! Not to mention the dizzying amount of sugary goodness you're surrounded by once through the door! I was in search of some chocolate caramels for National Chocolate Caramel Day and decided to give this place a try after discovering our local See's had shut down. Was soooo impressed!! Funny enough I had only just seen this new store in Old Town Monrovia a couple of days earlier and thought "oh cool I'll have to give it a try one of these days" lol! This shop has everything you need - from Nerds to various flavors of rice crispy treats and popcorn to specialty chocolates and even fancy chocolate and caramel covered apples!! I met the owner and he was so nice and helpful and full of info! The store is so deceptively huge - seems like it goes on for miles!! And there's so much choice - even a bunch of old school candies in the back! I grabbed some Sweet Tarts Ropes, chocolate coconut nests, chocolate caramel marshmallows, a S'mores rice crispy treat, and the chocolate caramels I originally came in for. The rice crispy treat was ok - I have a feeling I'd like the plain original better - but that's just my personal preference. But those chocolates- wowww they're absolutely fantastic!! They blow See's outta the water!! The chocolate is thin and crisp - definitely high quality! The caramel is soft and velvety and just melts in your mouth with such creamy flavor!! The chocolate coconut nests rock too - perfect amounts of coconut and excellent bite size pieces! I loved the little glass jars the chocolates come in too - definitely will be repurposing those haha! And if you buy 3 at a time, you get a discount so that's cool. It's in a great location, right in the thick of adorable Old Town Monrovia. Parking is street parking or one of the various public lots around the area - Old Town is very walkable with lots to see and do. Will definitely be hack!

    Introduction: I go pass this place quite often in the past and it's not until I got addicted to the Manhattan Special Premium Coffee Soda they sell here that I've become a regular customer. Sodas and Snacks: Manhattan Special Premium Coffee Soda: I have had various coffee sodas in the past and none of them remotely compares to the Manhattan Special. This soda is smooth, and bears a layer of depth that's not found in other coffee sodas. While other sodas try to get by with coffee flavored syrup, the Manhattan Special is filled with the rich aftertaste of coffee with each sip since it's brewed with real coffee beans. The way I choose to enjoy this coffee soda is to take a gulp of it while munching on a Double Double from In-N-Out. Mr. Q. Cumber: Crisp, clean, and refreshing. The level of sweetness for this soda pop is adequate and natural without being overbearing as is common with soft-beverages that are made with either corn syrup or fructose; as a result, despite being a soda, it is a thirst-quencher. Calypso Cucumber Limeade: Calypso lemonade and limeade are my go-to on a hot summer day. With real lime bits in the mix, Calypso limeade bears more flavor and tanginess in comparison to other lemonade and limeade; the notes of cucumber add a layer of refreshing crispness with each sip. In a day in which the temperature is in the high 90s to 100 in California, Calypso's cucumber limeade is a godsend in a bottle. BlayLock Brittle: BlayLock's brittles are some of the best one will ever eat. I have had brittles from other places that costs more, are sweeter, and have exotic ingredients but none with the quality of BlayLock's. BlayLock brittles taste clean, wholesome, buttery, and smooth. Ambiance: Casual, Mom and Pop shop Service: All the staffs are friendly, polite, and helpful. Price: Affordable

    This is the place to be for all those sugar-holics out there with a major sweet tooth. While browsing the shelves I saw many nostalgic brands that bring back memories from the early 70's.

    Wide selection of candies even some old school ones. They also have a little adult section with CBD infused items.

    Excellent variety of candies and other sweets. There's also an 18 & over only room. Awesome! Boozy candy! Great variety of candy apples, fresh chocolates and cupcakes. We also found candies that we've only seen online. The young staff was polite and helpful. A gentleman who appeared to be the owner was very helpful as well. We'll be back each time we need unique items for gifts and baskets!

I am currently addicted to their sea salt caramel squares covered in chocolate. That chewy caramel bite can't be beat when that salty flake kicks in. Ugh so good. We occasionally order sliced candy apples, ice cream, or their large rice krispy treats to take into the movies with us also. Have not had a item we haven't like. They even have chocolate covered bacon and plenty of fruity candies for you to bag yourself. There are no other full candy stores in Alhambra with this kind of variety.

They also serve ice cream & milkshakes and have some cute gift items too. It smelled so good when we walked in. A friendly Danielle greeted us with a happy "Hello." The chocolates were very tempting, and they had some creative options like Chocolate Covered Jalapeño. I joked that they even had chocolate covered bacon. My friend was so excited she bought one. The candy apples were hard to resist. However, I saw a sign that said, "New: Dubai Pistachio Truffles," so I had to try one. At $4.99 it was a bit pricey. The crunchy pistachio center was a delightful surprise. I had expected it to be a creamy filling, but this was a nice contrast. I could taste the pistachio and it paired well with the chocolate outer shell. I'm glad I decided to get it.
