Do you have a sweet tooth like me? Lol for some reason instead of ice cream I choose candy. I love bringing baby girl here and picking out candies. We got probably too much stuff it all came out to a little over $60. Outrageous and way less candy then when we can grab it ourselves. Inflation is the worst but to satisfy cravings and get some candy to brighten our day why not. The girls working here were really nice, it was pretty busy there. We picked out a bunch of candy to share and eat. Brianna was our check out girl and told me they have more of those viral peelerz candies so I went and grabbed the peach one. They had all the flavors I think, banana, peach, mango, idk if I saw the grape one but they had so many. They have so many fun candies to choose from for kids and adults. Never too old to have fun and eat some yummy candy :) Thank you for sweet service and delicious expensive candy. I recommend this candy store especially if you have a sweet tooth. I would love it if you guys brought in the sweetish candy and the giant coke bottles. But here is to wishing upon a star of candies. Have a beautiful day, be kind to everyone :) Aloha read more

One of the last remaining Sweet Factory shops I've seen in a long time. My boyfriend and I felt so nostalgic walking in here we decided to get a few of our young selves' favorites to share. So convenient that they didn't have any pricing signs up. So prior to the pandemic the candies were individual pieces for you to grab as much or as little as you want. I'm assuming for sanitary reasons. They have them wrapped in smaller packets for you to grab, so there is a minimum purchase per type you like. We got some jaw breakers, coke bottles, chocolate covered raisins and the strawberry sweet and sour belts. How much can it be?? Well SURPRISED the price is $19/pound and our candies added up to a little more than half a pound. It literally would have been cheaper to buy the full size containers of these candies elsewhere. Nostalgia is expensive. I understand that the business needs to charge enough to remain in operation, but this is way too much for me to consider coming back. read more

I barely step into the store, and no employee was in the floor. Out of nowhere one employee comes from the back. I didn't mind since I was seeing what items the store had. Employee gone , and blink of an eye 2 employees came out. Both employees were eye hawking me if I did something wrong. Quick like that my excitement of seeing a sweet factory went down the drain read more

Sweet Factory - Candy Stores Near Me - Brea, California

Umm...almost $11 for about three little bags of candy?! Really?! I used to go to Sweet Factory back in the day when there used to be a location at the Main Place Mall. Out of nostalgia, I was drawn into here when I was recently at the Brea Mall. Post COVID, candy is now pre-bagged in little bags -- so gone are the days of the tongs and scoops where you can pick the quantity that you want. The woman working couldn't have cared less if I were there or not. No greeting. Zero customer service. Kind of made me want to drop the candy and Ieave - but whatever. I got three little bags of candy -- two bags of sour belt and one of licorice. $10.55. Really?! I could have gone to the grocery store and about between four and six boxes of Sour Patch Kids or something like that. Definite rip off. 2022: 118/100 read more

Service great second barley of candy if you want it they got it very well customer service

Absolute SCAM. Only picked out a few prepackaged candies and was charged $18. How can 1/3 of a bag of candy cost more than entire meal?

You are force to buy amount of candy of every kind which are all prepacked. and the taste of the candy is all HARDEN AND EXPIRE. I rather go somewhere else u have freedom to get the candy and the amount you want. we have to throw away most of the candy cuz it taste bad and it's so HARD like it was sitting there for a year read more

Horrible never going again. Went with my boyfriend and got a small bag of candies. 18.02, what, guys lets think for a MOMENT. That same weight in Yogurtland would have been $7. They serve dairy which is expensive with a shelf time and expensive equipment. THIS is forever lasting sugar, it is a slap to the face. People are not tools to pay whatever you want, and your poor business practices leaving you less customers doesnt MORALLY QUALIFY you to overcharge the people that DO try you out. read more

5 stars for the sweets!! The mall is a slow dying breed, especially when your favorite stores start closing left and right! I was losing faith in the malls when Aeropostale closed in the malls (including this one). The malls were letting me down and I found myself avoiding it like the plague LOL! A few weeks ago my sister and I started talking about making a trip to Sweet Factory since it has been ages! We avoid the malls on weekends and holidays, so we knew it was going to be on a weekday. Fast forward to this past week and we finally got the chance!! First off, a wonderful female employee greeted us right away and gave us a basket since we came to stock up! We weren't playing! I loved how she took our bags and left them at the counter already weighed out so we could continue to go nuts with our candy LOL. AND... if you have AAA you get a 10% discount off your bill! Bonus! Most places don't offer AAA discounts anymore so this was cherry on top! I'm already planning on my next trip back which I hope is sooner than later! Winner winner chicken dinner!! ^__^ read more

Came in on my break so I could stop by and get some sweets. The young cashier did not even look up to greet me or the family that walked in after me. When I was being rang up, I asked if they have a mall employee discount (when I rudely cut off by the worker without even finishing my sentence) and she said they didn't. I always used to come by even before they moved stores and they did offer a mall employee discount, don't know what happened to that. It's fine if they don't have it anymore, but I know this location doesn't have the best track record of having nice employees. read more

The other day I came in here and found something really useful - Chocolate covered espresso beans!! It's a great snack to help you stay awake after a long night of burnng the midnight oil ;-) The gummies are always chewy and the staff is always helpful and friendly - you can do a lot worse in many other retailers :-). read more

They will not greet you if you are not Korean. They will up charge you if you are not Asian and then refuse to provide you with a receipt when you ask for one. Something shady going on here. read more

You know that expression, happier than a kid in a candy shop? yea. No one is ever happier than a kid in a candy shop. except crazy people. and as long as you're younger than 60, the moment you reenter a candy shop, you are instantly classified as a kid again. but yea. they got a huge selection of candy here, though i'll be honest, i only ever get sour belts. apple, strawberry, blue raspberry, and gay bacon (the rainbow ones). read more

Good selection, I had to drive all the way from walnut to buy candy from here! I bought $30 worth of candy that should last me a good few weekS!, and I also bought Sour Razzles! I think we ladies can all admit, ever since that jennifer garner 13 Going on 30 movie, we all had to try some! haha FYI: they have seasonal candy that's 50% off at the very front, REMEMBER to put it in a separate bag so they can deduct that discount amount !! read more

This vendor is a scam. They falsified photos to avoid providing a refund for a defective face mask that received many other negative reviews. There are too many other honest vendors who deserve our business, this is definitely not one of them. read more

One of the FEW places that sells my favorite candy. Willy Wonka's Shockers! The place itself is nice and clean and has a nice variety of sweets. Perfect for dessert after the food court of if you have a sweet tooth or in my case a sour tooth. Keep on selling them shockers! read more

I was watching the older lady put candy in the Bins at the shop what caught my attention was that she was on all fours with her hands on the floor reaching under the cabinets with the same gloves and started putting candy in the Bins touching the candy as she was putting it back in the bins dirty habits and no common sense I will never go back read more

They charged me $15 for a few pieces of taffy and Starburst. Way overpriced, but I knew this going in so whatever, it was convenient. However, when I got to my car, I tried a piece of the taffy and it was so bad I had to spit it out. I went back to get a refund or store credit or something and they said they could not give me a refund because it was food that I bought and preceeded to rudely explain to me the concept of selling and returning food. I spoke to a manager who even more rudely told me that I could talk to whoever I wanted to in the mall, but there was no way she was ever going to give me my money back. Don't go here! Overpriced and bad candy! Just find a local Target or something, I promise you'll be happier, and the staff won't be nearly as rude! read more

Love the sour belts and the peachy penguins. I don't know where else I would find them. Love this place!!

If I can give no stars I would. Wouldn't take my AAA discount and told me only the manager can do it. Also, didn't like the other girl breathing down my next following me and stop at each stand to make sure I wasn't sampling...its candy not money...back off lady. I emailed the main office and have yet to hear a response. DEFF will NOT be back. read more

Wonderful way to have a different taste for every mouthful, and not spend too much money.

I love sweet factory!!! They have a variety of candies, place is cute and clean, and the workers are sooo nice!!! Two workers in particular, Vickie and Boh, were extremely helpful. Ask them for help if you need any! read more

There's a few times when I feel complaining is worth my time. And this is one of those times. I walk in purchase a triple power push pop for my daughter left the store to have her open it and one of the push ups is broken I'm back in the store not 2 min later to ask for a exchange. The same cashier who I bought it from which apparently cannot make that type of decision. Are you freakin kidding me. With no manager on site I pay for an overpriced broken pop. I can care less about the candy it's the principle. Never will I go back read more

horrible customer service.... I tried to use my AAA card for discount. First cashier said that the manager was not there and she could not do it... when asked when the manager would be there she changed her story and said oh, manager not coming in today..... Don't waste your time or money...... I will not be back. Owner needs a new cashier/customer service rep I have told everyone I know so they don't buy from this store..... read more

I work at the mall and go to this place a lot. Mall employees get a small discount, so I went to pay for my stuff and I tell the girl that I'm an employee and I guess she didn't hear me . Anyway she doesnt apply the discount and I ask her if they don't do that anymote. She looks at me and said, "oh did you say you were an employee? Well it's only 5%...." And she shrugs her shoulders and looks at me like I should move along. Yeah it's true it's not a lot but what's the point of even offering it if your not going to honor it?..... read more

Overpriced. I spent $16 on a pound of of candy here then went to Winco Foods, which sells bulk foods including candy, and it was $2-$8/lb. depending on the candy. Won't go here again unless there is absolutely no way I cannot find the candy I want in another place. read more

this place sucks. mean asian lady. thought i was gonna steal candy for my children. miserable staff, feel so bad for them. the manager is the ultimate penny pincher and its JUST CANDY. literally like 3 dollars per QUARTER POUND. me and my children will not be coming back here, and i will make it my life's mission to tell everyone ive ever known to avoid this sweet factory at all costs. have a blessed day! read more
