    Coons Candy - First Visit…read more Let's go ahead and name what some of us have probably thought: pulling up to a place called Coons Candy comes with hesitation -- especially as a Black customer. It's an unspoken (and sometimes spoken) moment of pause, wondering what kind of experience you're walking into. But curiosity -- and a soft spot for old-school sweets -- led us to check it out. To my surprise, the staff couldn't have been more welcoming. As soon as we walked in, we were greeted with friendly smiles and offered samples of fudge, toffee, and a few other homemade treats. That immediately softened the moment and brought on a bit of nostalgia -- felt like walking into one of those general stores my MawMaw would take me to, or a Cracker Barrel stop on a road trip. The store itself is exactly what you'd expect from a small-town candy shop: shelves packed with retro candies, novelty drinks, locally made honey and syrups, quirky gifts, and yes -- edible bugs. It's cozy and cluttered in a fun, old-school way. We left with: * Boba Vida popping pearls (dark cherry) * Sugar Daddy, Victory sticks, Stallion candy smokes, raspberry & green apple sticks * Locally made honey * A mix of glass-bottle sodas: * Sioux City Ginger Beer + Prickly Pear * Reading Draft Honey Cream * Drive-In Cherry Limeade * Nehi Peach * Ginger Strawberry tea * Hot & Spicy Ginger Beer This is definitely a place for folks who love that nostalgic candy-store vibe and don't mind digging through shelves of old favorites and funky surprises. ‍ Final take: It was a mixed bag. The selection was fun and the staff made us feel welcome. But the name? It sticks -- and not in a sweet way. That hesitation doesn't go away entirely, and I'd understand if someone else passed on the visit for that reason alone. I'm glad I saw it for myself. Would I go back? Maybe. Would I recommend it? Depends who's asking.

    We stopped by today & had to buy some of the delicious fudge! Utterly charming store. I will never…read moredrive past again. Wonderful chocolates, hard candies & so much cuteness! Plus, really sweet people. I'm so glad we stopped! If you have a problem with name, please get some professional help. You're ridiculous. It's their last name.

    You know how people say they feel like 'a kid in a candy store?' I brought my three youngest God…read moresons here on a walk once (the middle one tricked me) and they were absolutely overwhelmed by the options. A kid in a candy store is overwhelmed and then over-stimulated and will probably cry. I would rather be thrown back into that oubliette. The staff here is helpful and friendly and seemingly unperturbed by the constant barrage of questions from a six and four-year-old. They have tiny shopping carts that they wandered the store with as they examined everything. I'm happy for you, dear reader, that they were touching things that were in sealed containers. They picked, and picked, and picked until they found the candy that was perfect for them and picked a candy for their sister who didn't come along. They were so surprised when they actually had to give it to them. There is a selection of candy from all over the world and usually seasonal findings. They also offer a wide selection of sugary drinks to go with your sugary solids. My favorite? The quarter machines where the boys got toys they didn't need and some Smarties to eat on the way home (since I didn't let them open the candy they got at the store). I am sure you've inferred that we've been back. It's a great place to 'accidentally' wind up when you're on a walk with the kids.

    We were just visiting the city with no plans and drove to the city before we headed back home to…read moreColumbus so we drove into the city and around the park and my niece not knowing what this store was told me she wanted to see what was inside. She has a good sense of sweets apparently. We were greeted immediately by Vanessa and was told if we have any questions just to let her know. My mom was interested in the popcorn which Vanessa told us a little about. We spent about 20 to 25 minutes just browsing and looking at the assortment of old school candy my mom hasn't seen in a while, some did bring back memories for me too. I liked the stickers, the cloud decorations and the soda pop collection. Vanessa was super sweet just like the store. If I come back we'll definitely be visiting again.

    Buckeye Candy Company has 29 reviews, 28 of them are 5 stars. There's a good reason for this…read more It's a great candy store that's filled full of almost every kind of sweets and chocolates you can imagine from, hard to find, to retro and imports. What are some of my favorite chocolate bars that I found? Aero Zagnut Clark Heath Zero Chik 'O Stix Curly Whirly Skor (I just wish they'd carry Roshen brand, from Ukraine. One of the "hidden gems" in the chocolate world). Anyways, it's a great specialty shop to explore for yourself. You'll find many of your old favorites and maybe something new to try. 5 stars And Here's Another Morsel For You To Nibble On: * Use your Yelp check-in to get a 10% discount. * Wanting a gift for someone? How about getting them a selection of unusual chocolate bars? * They also have an interesting selection of sodas. * Be sure to check out their markdown section for some great deals!

Nostalgic candy, the latest TikTok trends, imports, seasonal, etc. Right now a lot of fun Christmas things. Raindeer poop gummies, old-fashioned ribbon candy, and much more. Plus some pop, fudge, bulk stuff, and a clearance table. Fun place, nice owners, astonishing assortment of treats.
