I have a serious sweet tooth and pass this place driving home most days. I decided yesterday to…read morelook for grape licorice but they didn't have that this visit but what they did have was astonishing. Barrels of taffy's, and candy by the pound for sale. The space is packed with antiques and candy memorabilia. I can't imagine selling candy but this place has familiar things from my childhood I forgot I missed, as well as popular favorites. I purchased tootsie drops, and tart n tinies as well as grape taffy for my husband. They had so many delightful things one really needs to see for themselves. Today I returned with my husband and picked out a French toast butterfinger, and Caramel Apple flavored Werthers originals candy. What a fun adventure to the candy shop. They take cash and credit cards; and if you buy a certain amount little kids can spin a big wheel to get a small candy prize.

Oh a little slice of sugary heaven! This cute little candy shop has just about anything you could…read morewant (besides very much international candy, they have basically none of that which is a bummer). They have prepackaged goodies and stuff by the pound. Including fudge! And caramel apples! Yum! The prices are a tad high but not super crazy. The staff is very friendly and helpful. I'll shop here again!

The place is small but they have a nice variety.

There is a wall of jelly belly and other candy you can buy in bulk. There was also some fudge and candy behind the counter, some small toy items, lots of pez items, and other favorite candy items. It is a fun spot to get a nice variety of sweets.

Instagram got me again. I kept seeing the Mango con Crema at Tucson Chocolate Factory pop up and…read morefinally decided I needed to see what all the fuss was about. Spoiler: it was absolutely worth it. The mango and cream were SO good together. The mango flavor was bright and fresh, while the cream added just the right amount of richness without overpowering it. Everything was perfectly balanced and not overly sweet. And that outer shell? Super tasty and the perfect finishing touch. I'm also loving the new location! It was really easy to get to, and the inside is adorable. It feels bright, cute, and welcoming, plus they have a few tables where you can actually sit, hang out with friends, and enjoy your treats instead of immediately heading out the door. The Mango con Crema was definitely an Instagram find that lived up to the hype. I'll be back!

Woman-owned, longtime Tucson Coffee shop moved to my side of town and no one told me! Lol. They've…read morebeen in this new (ish) location in a strip mall for about 2 years. Great purple & green theme. Who knew I'd find a coffee drink I've never tried (gasp) - an Italian Fresca! Espresso on ice with soda water, choice of syrup & zip of whipped cream. Cool, coffee forward goodness! Also, had a big asx lemon bar for $3.00. Big enough to share. The woman who mage our drinks was super friendly & we enjoyed the whole experience. Better priced than corporate cofffee. Lots of cool candies, too + ice cream flavors I haven't seen elsewhere (lavender, I'm eyeing you)! TLDR: Beloved women-owned coffee shop is now on the north side of Tucson.

Fudge: I could take it or leave it, mostly leave it…read more Me, trying her fudge: I GOTTA HAVE THIS FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE!!! Really, if you want the best fudge on the planet, you have to get some of hers. BUT you have to come early because she sells out of it very fast. And I'm serious--I LOVE this fudge! I love it as much as I love ice cream. And that's saying a LOT. (For me, ice cream is a food group.) When I eat this fudge, I really really really have to exert all of my self discipline and say, "OK, I *will* be nice, I *will* leave a little sliver for my wife and daughter to have some, too." Yes, it's SO difficult. Everyone I've talked to that has tried her fudge is THE SAME WAY. Deb makes it all from scratch with no recipe. She has been doing this for years, started out making it with her grandmother who taught her how to make it. And yet, it turns out consistently heavenly. Every time. The fudge is not too sweet. So smooth in consistency. Perfect. And I'll get to her peanut brittle and toffee in a moment... Flavors (I'm not sure of the official flavor names): Peanut Butter/Dark Chocolate Fudge, Milk Chocolate Pecan Fudge, Dark Chunk Chocolate Fudge, Milk Chocolate Pecan Fudge, (Dark?) Chocolate Cherry Fudge, Milk Chocolate Fudge. The smart people will text her and reserve the fudge you want. (See her website for contact info.) OK, the brittle and toffee. Peanut, cashew brittle and toffee. Same story! Same Story! Such great stuff. My favorite is the Toasted Coconut Cashew Brittle. Coconut is perfectly toasted. Her brittle and toffee is perfect, not the kind that will break your teeth or stick to your teeth and take out your fillings or crowns. The perfect crunch. Amazing flavors: Dark Chocolate Peanut Brittle, Fear the Reaper Peanut Brittle (Definitely fear this one--so hot! She does not recommend this one. I haven't been brave enough to try it yet.), Hot Hot Hot Habanero Peanut Brittle, Jalapeño Peanut Brittle (another of my favorites), Perfectly Peanut Brittle, Pleasantly Pecan Brittle, Sea Salt Peanut Brittle, Toasted Cashew Brittle, Toasted Coconut Cashew. Toffee flavors: English Toffee, Espresso Toffee, Sea Salt Toffee, Toffee Tossed Pecans. She says, "Always gluten free. Dairy free & nut free options available." She is at the St. Phillips Farmers Market on Saturdays and Sundays 9:00 - 1:00. Her husband is at the Rincon Valley Farmers Market on Saturdays 9am - 1pm (Oct. - Apr.) & 8am - 12pm (May - Sep.). At the market, by 4 get the 5th one FREE. Also, orders $40 or more get free shipping. Go to her website, www.SweetArizona.org to get her phone, email, FB, etc. and other details. You will either love me for this review or hate me because now you have found another way to burn holes in your wallet/purse! 5* = A top favorite. Mind-blowing good. I will definitely return and I will go out of my way to go here. Worth every dime of my money. 4* = Outstanding. Tucson-top-tier. Some elements not quite as good as it gets, but it still is worthy of my regular business. 3* = Good experience. I might do repeat business if it is convenient, the only option, the only one in its category, or on a whim, but would not be among the first thing to come to mind. Would definitely recommend you trying it to get your own take on it. 2* = Not so good. Would not recommend at all. Waste of money. 1* = How are they still in business? Stay away at all costs!

The freshest candy! The fudge is the best, recommend chocolate cherry or peanut butter.read more

HOW have I never noticed this place... I've been to everything in this plaza and somehow missed it…read moreuntil that A frame literally flagged us down. Tiny, easy to walk past, but once you're in it's chaotic fun in the best way. Tiki stuff, random party finds, shelves of chocolate (yes, vegan options), even some German candies. You can sample, which is dangerous. I went in for a quick peek and walked out with a handmade pearl choker from a local Tucson artist... zero regrets. The woman working was super welcoming and made it even more fun to browse. It's small but packed, and you'll spot something new every lap. Definitely popping back in for more vegan chocolate.

BUYERS BEWARE!!!! - Prices NOT marked for a reason!…read more- Candy is OLD and even EXPIRED - sometimes by YEARS! - They REFUSE REFUNDS and claim "their machine can't do refunds". Background: I wish we read some of the other reviews for this store before shopping here due to similar experiences others posted. My wife and I thought this shop and the owner were sweet when we first stopped by after a lunch in this plaza/decided to give them our business and bought a few small candy items for the kids for Easter. The total was VERY high - much more than we expected! The receipt wasn't itemized, and this put us in an awkward situation to ask questions or just accept the cost. We felt bad for not asking and decided to just accept the total but left the store feeling totally ripped off. When the kids got their candy on Easter, our son immediately said his first jelly bean "tasted stale and was really hard". Upon inspection, the "Use By/No Later Than Date" was a year old! We checked the rest of the candy and ALL of it/everything we had purchased was expired - some of it even had a "USE BY" date of 2023! Her shop is halfway across town from us, but we had saved the receipt and took all the candy back still wrapped/sealed (minus the 1 jelly beans container our son opened). The lady informed us "their business model is buying expired candy and re-selling it at a 'discount'. This was never disclosed. She assured us "the candy is still fine - even years later, but the chocolate might taste a little different"... She even suggested she has customers who "like the harder jelly beans because they like sucking on it and it softens after a while". Incredible! Finally, she said the "USE BY" date is simply a "SELL BY DATE". I pointed out "USE BY" implies consuming the candy or it would say "SELL BY" and that we would like our money back. She immediately said "her machine can't do refunds". Interesting, because her machine certainly took our credit card, but then she claimed she couldn't refund it? I asked if she could do a cash refund instead then. She refused. Full disclosure, she did offer for us to hunt for non-expired candy in her store to exchange for our return, but I reiterated we just wanted our money back, had our receipt, and all the candy was still packaged but expired. She refused. SUMMARY: BUYERS BEWARE!!!! This store re-sells EXPIRED CANDY under the name "Classy" Sweets (ironic) without disclosing this business model, DOESN'T MARK PRICES on items so they can mark them much higher/whatever they want at checkout (our fault for not asking first), and REFUSES REFUNDS - even if you bring a receipt and everything is still packaged. We definitey will NOT be doing business here again, and we plan to warn EVERYONE about this place! It's apalling there are still businesses like this.
