If you're even remotely a candy person, Sweeties is dangerous in the best possible way. I'm a…read morefull‑blown candy freak, so I actually have to limit my visits, if I walked in here too often, I'd lose every ounce of self‑control and walk out with half the store. But honestly... what a way to go. Every time I do treat myself to a visit, it's pure joy. The aisles feel like a time machine stocked with everything I grew up eating, the classics, the throwbacks, the "I forgot this even existed" gems. It's the kind of place where you catch yourself smiling at a random shelf because a candy bar just unlocked a childhood memory. The store is bright, fun, and packed with options, and the staff keeps everything tidy and easy to browse. Whether you're hunting for something specific or just letting nostalgia guide you, it's impossible not to have a good time here.

Walking in to Sweeties Candy is like walking in to sugar heaven! There are so many aisles and…read moreshelves of old and new treats galore! I was looking for something that would have been an import from Europe which they unfortunately don't carry but it seems like they had nearly everything else under the sun! They were oh so helpful in helping me look and once I found the right name we figured out they didn't have it but they had some things that were close enough! They were all very friendly and helpful with my search and I'm so grateful! Now that's I've finally made it in, I know exactly where I need to go for all the rest of the treats that I could possibly be looking for! They even have chips and popcorn plus some seasonal toys too!

They have all sorts of additional treats as well. I got the Mexican dark chocolate and mint n chip. My husband got the vegan dark chocolate and lavender matcha. We both ate the whole thing up.

It is clean, bright and inviting.

They have an Instagram and Facebook page if you want to find them at their next event.

It was delicious and we couldn't even finish it all in one day. Note that if you have a hankering for kettle corn, best to grab a bag early since they sell out as the day goes by.

Ever been somewhere and left feeling like you were treated less than? That was my experience at…read moreSee's Candies Thursday evening of 4-2-26. I walked in with my family of five, excited for a sweet treat and in admiration about the Easter decor on display. We were patiently in the back of the line with no behind waiting. While we stood there, Vanessa came out from the side with chocolate caramel samples--super kind, welcoming, and genuinely pleasant. I appreciated her energy right away and thought oh wow they give you samples while you wait cool!! When it was our turn at the counter, I noticed customers before me asking for other samples in the display case, so as a first-time visitor, I figured I'd try one I saw in the display case too. I asked for the open almond caramel with a chocolate bottom but was met with a loud sigh (by another staff member tending the display case chocolates) because I took a second too long deciding between that and another option the marshmallow caramel--- there was no one behind us. Immediately, I felt uneasy and rushed. I went with the almond caramel chocolate bottom--and I'm honestly glad I sampled it because the caramel was much harder than expected and not easy on my teeth. Then my teenage son politely asked for a double chocolate sample, and that's when things took a turn. The associate looked at us and said, in a very sharp tone, "After this, I'm going to have to charge you." She even started pulling out two pieces before I told her we only needed one. It wasn't just what she said--it was how she said it. The tone felt accusatory and unnecessary, especially considering I had already told her this was my first time there. Had I known there was a strict sampling limit, I would have chosen differently from the start instead of taking the caramel sample offered earlier. I then made it verbally clear I was purchasing, not just sampling and leaving and did so by stating that. She then realized how she came off as I'm sure she was not expecting me to say so. In fact, I still went ahead and bought several pieces (and added more), but the experience was already soured. What made it worse was noticing that the same energy was not given to customers before me--if you know, you know. I will not be returning to this location. Vanessa, however, deserves recognition. She was warm, patient, and made the checkout experience pleasant. Unfortunately, her coworker's lack of professionalism and poor communication overshadowed the visit. I had to explain to my kids that sometimes you will run into people like this unfortunately and to brush it off as they were frustrated with the experience as well.

That changed radically recently as I decided to give it another chance as I was in the area and ended up scoring some unexpected and amazing deals. I don't go to HMart in Mesa much anymore as this store has just about everything I need and is so much closer. If you want live seafood, you'll find plenty here. I really like the abundance of fresh vegetables and they're really cheap. I always pick up a kombucha squash to roast for my fur baby too. Tofu prices are the cheapest I've seen so I stock up as I love making mapo tofu and spicy tofu soup. They also have a food court and a bakery inside the store so it's very convenient to grab to go or even eat there as they have a small seating area. I do wish they had more cashiers as the lines are always so long no matter what time or day it is.
