    What would you except from a family owned sweet shop open since 1840? Friendly excellence and quality product! So happy we stopped in after seeing a spot highlighted on One Tank Trips on Fox8. Hope to visit again during the Pumpkin Festival!

    Cherry ice cream soda

    Great little soda shop and candy store. Chocolates were very good. They also had other types of candy like gummy worms and stuff. And I got an old fashioned cherry ice cream soda and my husband got a root beer float. Circleville is a nice small town and we had a lot of fun there.

    In the year 1840: - the US still had slavery - William Henry Harrison was elected president - you might have worn a hoop skirt or bonnet - the lightbulb was still 30+ years from being invented - everyone rode around on horses ....and Wittich's was making their delicious candy. It's hard to believe, but the oldest confectionery in America is still going strong in my hometown of Circleville, Ohio. True to tradition, Wittich's still makes all their savory sweets fresh in-house. The advent of electricity and automobiles have only made this cove all the more charming (and efficient). It's been family owned and operated since the very beginning -- no small feat considering next year will be its 170th anniversary! The family did eventually concede to rebuilding the store in the late 1990s, doubling its size and installing a soda fountain salvaged from another local haven that hadn't been as fortunate. Wittich's is a wonderful gem, warmly embraced by a community being overrun with chains. I love this place! I'm not home very often these days, but you can be sure that when I am I always make a point to stop in for some cinnamon mints and buckeyes (chocolate covered peanut butter -- not the poisonous ones!). If I have time, I'll take a seat at the 1930s style soda fountain counter for a root beer float, spinning in circles on the stools like a little kid, or on nicer days I'll sit outside at a picnic table under a sleepy maple. They have their own original recipe for mints that (as far as I know) hasn't changed since the days of yore. Definitely try a Brown or Purple Cow at the soda fountain, or if you can make it in October anything pumpkin is sure to be a winner. If you're feeling really inspired, they also sell candy molds for those who want to try their own hand at confectionery. You can get stuffed animals, coffee mugs, and other miscellaneous containers to fill with goodies for the perfect gift, complete with complimentary gift wrap! I cannot gush enough about Wittich's! I truly love this place, and I hope they have another 100 years (or more!) of continued success. If you're ever heading south of Columbus, it is definitely worth the detour.

    Vanilla "phosphate" ... so good!

    Great small town chocolate shop with old fashioned soda fountain. The women in there are always a pleasure to deal with.

    They also have a large line of sugar free chocolates and candies so if you're diabetic or watching your calories you can still indulge

    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!

    I haven't updated since they moved? Well, they moved, down the street a bit, into the old Swan…read moreCleaners. About 4 times as big, still stuffed with good things. 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.
