Hood River needed a sweet shop, so thank you, Sweet Spot, for filling this void! This tiny shop, next to the Hood River Hotel on Oak, is adorable. The pale blue and yellow checkered floor with walls painted in a swirl of candy cotton colors, just shouts Sweet Spot! One wall is lined with clear bins filled with candy you scoop into a bag, and pay by the pound. This way you can choose what and how much you want. Most of these candies are gummies and Swedish fish type candies with some milk chocolate options like M&Ms. Definitely catering to the kids, which makes sense, but I do wish they had some dark chocolate options for adults. We crave candy, too!
On the opposite wall, they have candy bars and treats from around the world. You definitely need to visit this section just to see the flavors and novelties that are not common in the US! The Kit Kat bars from Asia have flavors like matcha and siracha. There are Mac & cheese gummies, hot dog shaped gummies, hot bear gummies, white chocolate fish shaped candy bars, and more.
This section also has old time candy which is so nostalgic.
If you have children, grandchildren, or for the child in you, you must visit this new addition to Hood River and pick up some fun sweets! read more
