    Super cute shop! Honestly. It had some unique candy, soda, & snack options as well as homemade chocolates there. They also have Thrifty ice cream & self-serve candy bags. The service was really nice & the store itself was very clean. The only reason they gave 4 instead of 5 in my opinion is because some of the souvenir type of snacks & candies were a bit overpriced. But still, if you're not from Carlsbad & want a cute candy shop experience, stop by there. Literally right up the walkway from the beach.

    It was so great to walk and see all the nostalgic candy's from hard candy's you see anymore to good chocolates and bottle caps, to gummy's of every shape and flavors. It was so nicer see all the colors of the rainbow of candy's from lollipops candy's with toys. The best shop to have a smiling face really talking to you And laughing with as she make up our ice creams Mocha almond fudge, & chocolate peanut butter for and mine was 1 scoop of mint chip Thirfty ice cream has good flavors I also their Coconut pineapple too next time at this cute sweet shop

    The first time I had a sandwich from here, I was incredibly impressed and fell in love with the place. Unfortunately, this last time was awful. The woman making my sandwich acted like she'd rather be doing anything else than helping me. I got an Italian Sub with Pepperoncini and Greens. The pepperoncini and greens were not even throughout the sandwich so I had to move them around myself. There was soo much juice from the pepperoncini that it completely soaked one of the bread slices before I even got it eat it less than 5 mins later. The woman also didn't heat it up though I had asked. So I had to turn around and ask her after it was completely made. She threw the whole sandwich into the oven to heat up and didn't take off the pepperoncini or greens before doing so meaning the bread got even more soaked than before. I waited over 5 mins for it to heat up, but when she gave it back to me, it was still 75% cold. At this point, I was soo tired of her, that I just left and ate it as it was, which was terrible. The place is cute, but the service and execution is terrible.

    Stuck here for 30 minutes!! After dinner at Jay's across the street we wandered into this candy shop. My wife found her favorite watermelon jelly and chocolate raisin. Love their back patio! Super friendly staff. Nice family store. We sat there on the bench enjoying a nice evening ocean breeze eating candies. Loving Carlsbad Village vibes!

    This candy shop is a block from the beach with a variety of candy galore!! They serve Thrifty Ice Cream by the scoop. a must stop whilst in Carlsbad.

    The sweet spot is such a fun place with yummy candy and delicious ice cream. The store owners and all the staff are so friendly and quick with excellent customer service. They make each customer feel so special. You must check out this amazing store

    Dried old cherry cordial
    Hayley G.

    I got a bunch of the cherry cordials yesterday, spent 40$, and the chocolate tastes old there are some newer that still taste nasty but you can see the inside is literally dried up I'm disgusted right now and of course I tried them when I already got home from vacation I should've tried while I was there and taken them back.

    The Sweet Spot is amazing. My kids absolutely loved this place. They have every fun candy and ice cream you could ever imagine. I felt like a kid in a candy shop. Literally the most fun place to experience in Carlsbad. We will be stopping in every time we visit Carlsbad.

    Left black cherry, right almond espresso fudge
    Mary L.

    Little shop tucked away, looks like a family owned shop. Yogurt, ice cream and deli are what they offer. Me and my husband got a double scoop of black cherry and almond espresso fudge ice cream. They do give a huge serving, so it is good for sharing. I do recommend to try out this place.

Since then she is continuing to produce products and flavors that live up to the Dallmann name! Definitely Gourmet Quality!!! Isabella and her staff are true artists when it comes down to creating mini art pieces with unique flavors to choose from. You get to customize your order online (as this establishment is not a storefront) make your payment and it will be shipped to you. By special appointment only you can do a pick up. I suggest reaching out to them in order to arrange that. Her business facility is in an industrial complex shared with other family owned businesses and mainly this establishment is only for her private preparations of her delicious creations! Kept very clean and functional! We've been sporadic as customers ever since we got to pipe in the Grenache ourselves and sample the chocolate making process & yummy goodness! She's got very creative packaging too. So a special occasion can be very personalized too. Dark, milk, and even vegan options available. You've a choice to swap or double up on a flavor choice if she happens to run out of a particular selection. Truly spectacular products. You might even see them at a chocolate fest, or even wine or food pairing type event elsewhere! This time we tried a bar in conjunction too a chocolate box and my daughter is happy with it! I mean who doesn't love chocolate for any occasion but February is just that more special in our home. Thanks Bella and staffers! You're the best!

The kit comes with 4 small size regular marshmallows (nothing home made) and 4 TINY pieces of chocolate that wouldn't even cover one s'more. It's all Graham cracker one marshmallow and a smidge of chocolate. See photos. Yes they include a tiny bit of caramel sauce and peanut butter sauce on the side, but I'm sorry, these don't even make complete s'mores. More expensive ingredients...ok. But not including enough to make an ok s'more is odd. The Graham crackers are also run of the mill. Maybe try the s'mores made there? A take home kit your better off getting a bag of large marshmallows, higher end grahams and a nice block of fancier chocolate for $20. I have ZERO problem spending premiums on food and good ingredients...but this kit is a rip off do not do it.

I'm not really a s'mores person, but wanted to check it out since it was new. The owner (I presume) said they've been open for about 3 months now. Décor was cute inside. They have kits you can purchase or you can order individual s'mores. They have a vegan option too, so you'll have plenty to choose from. Good service. Small s'mores, but I guess the vegan and organic ingredients make them a bit on the pricier side ($7-8/s'more). Not complaining, just thought they would be a bit bigger. But I guess I don't need the extra spike in blood sugar anyway, so it's all good. The Classic was good. I ordered mine with oat milk chocolate. This place is still new, so hope folks check it out. It reminded me of a s'mores shop in Portland, Oregon.

I had hoped they could deliver the cookies themselves instead of going through the mail, but didn't push for that. They say 1-2 days to process, baking Monday through Thursday. My first order was 4/14/26. My second order was 4/21/26. Today is 4/28. Both were received on 4/27. Needless to say, I was getting agitated when I hadn't heard from my friends that they received the cookies. 1-2 days processing? I calculate 9 days, not including weekends for the first order (although they're mailed so I should count Saturday). Second order, 4 days. So nothing like 1-2 days processing. Unless processing means, putting them in the box and slapping a mailing label on it, not the overnight shipping I think I paid for. Personally, if I have my shop in Carlsbad, both boxes were to be delivered in Carlsbad. Why not just deliver them in the way home or coming into work? Why add that extra time? I paid enough on shipping to cover the gas and it would save time and ensure freshness. ‍ Regardless, both recipients said the cookies were good. I'm not sure if I would buy here again, I was fuming yesterday in my mind saying I was going to have to call the company and ask, where the heck are my cookies? Luckily both recipients texted saying they received them last night.
