It's a institution that has been around longer then I have, with regular customers who have patronized the place since its inception. The old building once was a carpet store, and a couple bought it and turned what its now Candyland and Farmer's Market. The store is a wonder being split down the middle, one side is devoted to fresh fruits and vegetables, while the other is candy (in monstrous amounts) devided up to be sold by the mixed bag pound, and there are about 100 different other candies besides, so if you can't find it, it may not exist. The are cheeses that are some of the best I have ever had and great prices for block cheese. The people who work there are as awesome as the place is itself. Ask them about anything in store they will pretty much know it inside and out. If not, they will go out of their way to help you. Come here, pure and simple. It's a great place where people from all over world have come and shopped here. I couldn't believe in the time I had worked there, that people no matter the race or religion could bond over candy. Michael Phelps even shopped here and as well as the PR guy for the Ravens all in one summer. You won't regret spending money here and even though I now work somewhere else I come here often, to get a taste of home.

The other half is a small grocery store with the basics including some produce, but not a whole lot of selection. It's adequate. There are two registers. The cashier was efficient but not too friendly. Worth stopping in at least to check it out.

I recently visited Sweet Shoppe in Short Pump for the second time and unfortunately, my experience…read morewas just as disappointing as my first visit. While the candy selection is still splendid and delicious; the atmosphere remains unpleasant. The store continues to be run mostly by children, with their friends hanging around being rude and disruptive. It's clear that there is a lack of adult supervision, which really detracts from the overall shopping experience. I felt uncomfortable. The yute (in my Joe Pesci voice in my Cousin Vinny, lol You all don't know anything about that). I was hanging out with one of @we_hungryaf bloggers, who was also taken aback by the confusion. Despite the delicious candy, I cannot recommend Sweet Shoppe due to the negative atmosphere. I love their peanut brittle, but both times I went, the yute asked me with a tone that indicated (in my opinion) something was wrong with it. He asked me if I was sure I wanted that Peanut Brittle, the one made with honey. if you're looking for a great selection of sweets in the RVA area, there are plenty of other options that offer a more pleasant shopping experience. #rvafoodie #yelpelite #candysweets #sweettoothfix #candyaddict #sugarhigh

I was lucky to find a parallel parking spot right in front of the building. This is a boutique shop, so they offer curated chocolates. I visited shortly before Christmas and my mom purchased sweets shaped like reindeer for my cousin's kids. Both of them tore into them immediately and basically inhaled them, so I'd say they liked them. I also bought a few different chocolates to try, and they were great. Prices match the quality, so they're not the cheapest option.

I would recommend you check out Google Reviews on this business for 100+ reviews if you want to read multiple reviews. I rated it 4 stars for the deli meats and a mind boggling selection of pantry items (baking items, snacks, spices, condiments, etc) for the customer that is looking for those specifically, but for my own purpose- a good sandwich, I would rate this place a 3. I was seeking a deli to refuel after my hike and came across this place. There is no real sandwich menu, except for an Italian sub and a Sandwich of the Day. It's basically create your own sandwich, where you choose from meats, breads, cheese, toppings, and condiments. I hate coming up with my own sandwich, so I just went with the Italian sub, and it was reasonably priced at $5.99. I would say the Italian sub is not quite one you'd get in an Italian deli, but the meat was decent and the bread was fresh. I'd rate the sandwich a 3 out of 5. I wouldn't go back to this place for a sandwich after a hike. I'd try to look elsewhere.
