Sweet shop is located in Carlsbad Village. I have had this place bookmarked for a while. Finally, I was lucky to stop by twice. My goodness! I love the decor! The Pink color around the shop created a vibrant and energetic ambience. I also loved the Multicolored Candeliers. They complimented this glamorous and delightful shop. I felt I was going back to my childhood time! Just nostalgic! I enjoyed all the wide selection of chocolate, candies, marshmallow, gum, gummy candies and much more! That was fun time! They also have ice cream, banana split, sundae, frappe, coffee root beer float, milk shakes, The Bulk candy is nineteen dollars per pound Their special truffle is $3.99 per piece. They have different assortment of chocolate too. The pound was for twenty six dollars. I wish I could spend more time in this heavenly candy shop, imagine how kids feel! I don't blame them at all. My inner child could join them too. Their special truffles were very decadent, rich and silky. I tried mango truffle, raspberry truffle and orange truffle. Loved them all.The bulk candy had good quality and nice flavor. I bought many chocolate bars that I didn't see somewhere else. I had such an amazing experience and fun time. Definitely, I will come back read more

This is a cute little candy shop. It is overpriced but it is cute and has a few things that are unique or hard to find. When we Checked out the POS system asks for a tip which I found odd. No one helped us with anything. When I selected no tip, the girl behind the counter was visibly annoyed. read more

My husband bought me some chocolate truffles from here for Mother's Day! Was helpful that they were open later than some other chocolate places. The truffles were delicious, though be warned they're pretty hard on the outside so don't chomp on them super hard suddenly. The shop is cute if a little touristy. Thankful for the sweet treat! read more

They have a large selection of candy and ice cream. My kids like the place. The workers are friendly.

Every time we have a family trip to Carlsbad this is a must stop for our family. It was our favorite yogurt and candy store. Last night, we encountered the rudest employee at your establishment and we won't be returning. My daughter was ahead of me and the rest of party was following. I walked into your employee yelling at her telling her she was closed and would not be serving her and that we needed to leave. I told her she was incredibly rude and would not talk to my daughter that way. My daughter was almost in tears and shocked that an adult would talk to her when she didn't do anything wrong. She had been so excited to come here all day. The couple that she was serving was mortified too hearing how rude she was. She was condescending and completely unprofessional. Not sure why you would hire an employee with these mannerisms. She had also said the same thing to a group that tried to come in before us. You were not closed and we had every right to be there. Your employee even had the customer she was helping shut the door on us...before you were closed. read more

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. read more

Me and my boyfriend walked in to the candy store to get some sweets, we were captured by the big selection and variety of candy. When we were checking out the owner asked us about our night. And we told her about a bad experience we just had at a restaurant. She was the most sweet person we have ever met and insisted on giving us a free scoop of ice cream (which was delicious). We will definitely make this our number one ice cream and candy spot :) read more

I enjoyed my Saturday night ice cream! Overall, it's a neat little shop. The employee working was super friendly! I will definitely be returning again. read more

I was standing in line with my son at the shop waiting to buy a candy. This older woman, who was not in line, was getting help from a store clerk with some chocolates in the display case and she seemed to think this entitled her to cut in line ahead of me when she had made her selections. I was already standing in line and I asked her not to cut in line ahead of me. Instead of apologizing, she got angry and started insulting me under her breath. The store clerk, however, recognized that I had been standing in line and made a point of ringing us up first. I did not engage with this woman though and she looked pretty stupid. I appreciate the store clerk not being intimidated by this female though. Thank you! read more

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. read more

Super cute little yogurt and sandwich spot. We had lunch across the street and stopped here for something sweet. The lady who was working was incredibly kind to my son who had just won his first baseball tournament and was SO EXCITED to show off his ring. This is the place that makes you happy to spend your money. Loved it. We didn't stay to eat inside but they have tables and it's a nice family feel inside if you do stay. Thanks so much to Linda's staff. read more

We walk in and the two working, it seemed like an arguing couple. I thought to myself as she was shaking her head and sitting on the counter after I had left and came back because our smoothie, their pick two fruits and one add-in, was the dullest flavored Strawberry and Banana, add-in Almond Milk 16oz boring, and waste of my money I have spent in a long time. If I had better customer service and/or maybe even a care from these two, a young lady and gentlemen, about how it tasted, or if I was satisfied and maybe even a little care as to why I wanted to add sugar to my drink, all by myself, by hand, having to stir it in and have the young lady still sitting on the counter and they discuss whatever was more important together, rather then pay any attention to a dissatisfied customer. I worked in the hospitality industry when I was young. Not once did I sit on a counter, and act as if I was too good to help my paying customers, much less help out a paying dissatisfied and more importantly, a hopefully wanting to return customer, which in this case we won't be returning and I normally wouldn't have posted this negative feed back, but I wouldn't want anyone else to have to experience this unprofessional manner of customer service. There is nothing good that comes from a place, that you upon walking on has a negative energy coming straight across the counter to you, a happy, smiling, joyful customer, experiencing the pull of my smile turning into a frown, because it was a completely draining upon walking in this, I can imagine normally happy and upbeat mom and pop yogurt and sandwich shop. We asked the flavors and weren't offered any samples, it was almost as if we bothered them to be there asking what they had to offer. The girl in particular seemed to have the bigger attitude, where they man seems to be at least a tad more responsive and wore a smile when he spoke... it didn't last long, but at this point we were willing to take that, not knowing at the time, it would only get worse. It truly saddens me to see two people not representing a company in the manner they should, as if they aren't humbled and grateful for their jobs and what they signed up to do. If they are dating, this all makes sense otherwise it was just awkward and rude... I would spend a dime in here if I had known how disappointed we would be. Good luck if you venture here... We sure hope after this review, just maybe things will be a bit better, at the least, the attitude and possibly smiling happy faces is what you will see when try out this cute little joint out!! read more

Loved the flow and candy choices. They had fun options for kids. Ice cream was delicious too! We will be back for sure!

Stopped by to grab some ice scream and sandwich. I ordered a Turkey sandwich with the toppings on the side ( buying for someone else so I didn't know if they would like everything on the sandwich). The cashier made a weird face at me and quickly asked the other women behind the counter if they could do it like that. Her attitude was unpleasant. I told her that if she's charging me $9 for a sandwich with it w/o toppings I should be able to request them on the side with no problem. It's not such a special request. They both started speaking in Spanish. I also speak Spanish little did they know. The women told me that she would have to put all the toppings and sandwich in the same container. (I'm guessing to not spend another container ) I told her that was fine. We got the sandwich it literally had two thin slices of Turkey and very dry bread. Also had one scoop of ice cream. ** tiny scoop for $3.99 !!! Don't waste your money! It's not worth it, poor service and lack of food quality. read more

Such a cute spot! Perfect upgrade to a classic family favorite. My kids loved it and called it the Candy Castle. Tons of choices - candy, truffles, chocolates, ice cream, bulk, candy toys, Pez. They have it all. A new favorite in Carlsbad Village. Definitely make this a nightly treat stop! read more

I only walked into this place for 30 seconds, so I can't comment on the service since my husband ordered and paid. They offer a variety of sandwiches, salads, smoothies, froyo, and ice cream. The froyo isn't self-serve. Everything is behind the counter, including the toppings. We opted for some ice cream and it's Dreyers. That's always good. The reason I was only in the store for 30 seconds is because it's dreadfully hot in there. Also, there's no room to maneuver a stroller. It's a small venue and the tables are cramped, so if someone is sitting at a table, you can't turn your stroller around. 3 ice creams- one mint chocolate chip, one strawberry cheesecake, and one nestle toll house (which is really chocolate chip cookie dough). Total price was 7 dollars and some change. read more

We just moved to the area last year & have loved everyone and everything we have come across in Carlsbad this year. Except the Sweet Spot candy shop in Carlsbad. I took my 3 kids to the beach and they couldn't wait to go there. We went outside and my 10 year olds spray iceee candy exploded all over her and her favorite pants. She was crying and a mess. I went back in to buy another one for $3. Then the man says no take another one and I thought he was so nice until he said " as long as you bring the other one back & throw it in the trash so I can see it"! Seriously you actually accused me of stealing a $3 candy which I walked in & offered to buy I never asked for another one. I do however think instead of accusing his customer that just spent $25 on candy and ice cream of stealing he might of asked how my child was & if he could offer a napkin or replace her $90 dollar pants that his blue candy he is selling ruined. We found the one piece of coal Carlsbad has to offer out of all of the golden nuggets who have been so nice to us!!! Our old candy store was Rocket Fizz in San Clemente where they knew us by name Sweet Spot could use some etiquette lessons... read more

Stopped in here as I was waiting to go to a house viewing and I had 45 minutes to kill... and hey, who doesn't want a smoothie when you have time to kill right? Decent parking, there seem to be a perpetual 1-3 spots free... I came by at 3pm on a Tuesday though, so ... take that into account. The atmosphere here seems to be laid back, costal and maybe something out of the beach cities of the 70's ... I feel like the people from Three's company would get a smoothie here. I got a Peach/Mango smoothie with protein and almond milk with coconut yogurt in it too... cost $5.50... SAAAAY WHAT? Cheap. And guess what, tasted redonkulously good. Smooth and natural not chemical like Jamba Juice... (Not that I don't also do Jamal's... but for reference) I am giving it a 5 for the simple reason I haven't had a good smoothie in so long - they delivered and reap the whirlwind of a 5 star rating from someone who only gives a 5 to the BEST! Good job Oh and LIIINNNNDDDAAA... you're not listening ... no no listen Liiiinnnnnddddaaa... (see YouTube if you don't get it) read more

I was craving ice cream after the burger joint. As I walked in, I see it was packed with people. I ended up getting a banana split. Three scoops of my ice cream were vanilla, strawberry and birthday cake. It was surrounded by a banana cut in half drizzled with whipped cream, chocolate sauce, sprinkles of peanuts and three cherries on top. So sweet and delicious. I managed to make room for this. I like the decor inside. Very cute. Three guys were working the shop and taking orders. They even have a crane game inside the shop which I thought was cool. There were a few tables inside to enjoy your ice cream or yogurt. They don't weigh your yogurt like other places. They actually put toppings and charge a flat fee for the sizes of the yogurt. Afterwards, I needed to use the restroom so you have to ask for the key. The guy told me to go upstairs as there are restrooms upstairs. The restrooms were clean. read more
