    Luv dippin dots
    Kat B.

    I felt like a kid and a candy store LOL there was so much to choose from I had to try a little bit of everything! This place is located in a small plaza but you have to go towards The middle because it's not visible from the parking lot. I love how they have dipping dots because you can't find us everywhere! I tried sour candies watermelon as well as chocolate. They're toffee chocolate was yummy! Everything was delish! They come in little mason jars. Plenty of parking and so much candy i was happy! They also have stuffed cute stuffed animals! IG @haangrykitty Enjoy the choco and candy everyone! This place is so delicious and for those who have sweet tooth like me its candy heaven for sure!

    This adorable family-owned candy shop is nestled within the Trancas Country Market plaza. A lovely little spot with green areas for kids, the candy shop had all manner of sweet treats, including packaged candy and pick-your-own by the pound. Perfect for kids and adults alike. Enjoy!

    BF decided to scare the Bejesus out me with a white knuckle drive down Decker Cyn. The light at the end of the tunnel, Canyon, was a trip to Trancas market. Nestled in the back of the marketplace is the cutest little candy shop. Absolute joy took over finding nostalgia from my teen years in the 80's! Candy flavored glosses!

    Cutest candy shop in the new Trancas shopping center Jessie greeted us warmly when we walked into this amazing little candy shop of sweetness. Great selection of retro items like abba zabba bars, milk duds, jaw breakers and gummy bears galore! They are very kid friendly and it seems like she knows all of her customers sweet tooth needs. Sweet tart cake is perfect for V Day!! Gummy bear night light is cool too. Love this place!!!

    Cute gifts and eclectic candy in this hidden gem of Trancas. I love this place and Melissa is amazing. After my coveted Halloween purchase she gave me a Halloween bow for my lil pup to don for the holiday. Love her and the candy....perhaps its just a place to go for lil sweet gifts for me! I'll be back soon!

    Enjoyed all our delicious candies at the beach!

    Stopped by SweetBu as part of our AmazingCo destinations, not only were we delighted by the cute store and delicious candies, the woman who helped us was beyond welcoming and kind! Thank you for adding to our adventure!

    This is such a cute candy store! Service was wonderful, our kids had a blast here! Prices are fair, considering the area. Plenty of easy parking, nice option while taking a stroll in the area.

    First time in Cali and I had to stop by the cutest candy boutique. So many varieties of candies and SQUISHMALLOWS!!! The owner and staff were super sweet and helpful. We were so unexpectedly lucky to come on their restock day and were excited to find our DISO's. I highly recommend and will definitely come again!

    a variety of chocolate bars

    Melissa was helpful and fun! We picked 3 chocolates from three different countries and had a blinded taste test after dinner with our 4 kids. It initiated some curiosity about the world. Newman consensus - Germany makes great chocolate and vaccines!

    Big fan of a candy stores, I really love this one. It's small and packed with lots and lots of treats which makes for a great candy store. Candies from all over the world as well as your favorites. A perfect spot to stop after a day at the beach with my daughter.

One of a Kind: Larger than life candy, which make fun gifts! Coffee mugs w/hilarious sayings, some chocolates with liquor inside, retro candy, cute plushies, Hello Kitty cup of noodles... So much to see! It's always a fun surprise to discover something new whenever I visit, which is whenever I'm on 3rd Street Promenade shopping! Favorites: Unique flavors of KitKat bars, Barbie drink, chocolate bar mixed with potato chips, boba drinks, Bailey's chocolates...& so much more! Customer Service: I'm always greeted right away!

I also can't blame the owner , Christmas weekend and the place was dead. There were the equivalent zombies vs customers and sorry but their security is useless. They're afraid of these zombies.
