Ive bought candy here since I was a child. They do an amazing job making the candy. If they are about to pour candy on the table, theyll always ask if you want to watch. Its a fascinating process. You can also tell that everyone who works there is always happy to talk and explain what they are doing.
Had no idea what to expect. The candy company is tucked into a neighborhood. Theres a small display of candies (like a card table small) and you can watch the employees making the candy. Bought 3 bags (super cheap!) and the candy is delicious.
Best old-fashioned candy and for a good price. A family owned business.
Must go to. They make the candy fresh.
Have you ever tasted a childhood memory? This would be it!!
This store is awesome. We were given samples. They were yummy and warm.Prices were very reasonable and i will go again. I brought boxes of candy...
Great experience touring the factory.
I love the family environment, and the years of knowledge in the Williams Candy Co. store. I have a friend in the DC area that I replenish with her favorite candy, when needed and Williams Candy Co is my go to spot even though I am in VA Beach area. Thanks, for a wonder experience!!!
I try to get there whenever Im visiting the area. The peach buds with the moist coconut center are my favorite. The Christmas mix, brings back childhood memories not only me but for children too!
I love going here for the holidays and any time of the year it is a great candy store . People are nice too.
Small family business. Donating Christmas goodies for the Homeless. Wonderful people, great tastes, amazing aromas.
Great neighborhood candy store.
Freshly 100 year made old fashioned candy. One of a kind place.
Celebrating 100 years in business! This is a mom & pop operation that produces really good old fashioned hard candy. It looks like nothing has changed since I was a kid and my mom would get candy for us here. Congratulations to Williams on their 100 years in business, and thank you for the great candy and memories
This family owned factory and candy store is an American treasure. If you visit on a day they are making the candy they will be happy to talk to you and tell you about their story. Theyve been around since 1919 and their methods havent changed much. I highly recommend it.
Ive ALWAYS loved this candy and after relocating and living so close to the place..
Came for the candy, stayed for the wonderful demonstration on how to make candy the old fashioned way. You can tell that family who operates Williams Candy Company truly loves what they do. Would highly recommend anyone interested in visiting to check it out.For those interested in going, I hadnt seen this posted but during warmer weather they only make candy on Mondays and Tuesdays. When its super warm outside, they only make candy on those days in the morning because otherwise it starts to stick. And make sure you bring cash or checkbook or you wont be getting any candy.
Love this store, I remember visiting this store in the 3rd grade. Nothing has changed but the location. Its nostalgic and reminds me of Christmas as a little girl.
I have loved this place since I was in grade school! The candy is amazing, the people and the facility are super nice!! Hands down, my favorite candy ever. Highly suggest the pineapple lump and the cotton candy...but you really cant go wrong with anything on the menu. Please, please, please move to online ordering!! Or a way to pay digitally 💗💗💗💗💗
It smells so good..
If you have a fear of cats Dont go there.Bunch of cats Outside only.On a car All over. Tight place. They was friendly but they dont make Ribbon candy anymore.
Great family owned company. Saw the candy making process today while on a summer camp field trip. Everyone there was so nice. Candy is delicious.
Great candy all year long. Great boxes of Christmas candy in decorative boxes. Open until 12/23 then will reopen the 6th of January. Good stuff. This is their 100th year of business.
Had just what we wanted. Got there minutes before they closed. Love going there. Good atmosphere. Employees are nice and cordial.
An outstanding experience. Watching 3rd generation candy makers at work on 100 year old equipment was truly enjoyable. And the conversation during the process made it all the more better.
I have been enjoying their various candies for 65 years, but even after traveling the world via the USAF, I always NEVER forget my time enjoying the candies!! Even after living in the Bay Area of California for 36 years, I always stopped by for candy purchases once home in Norfolk, Virginia!! While visiting my family in Chesapeake for tis weekend, June 22-24, 2018, I find myself taking 6 boxes of candy home with me to South Carolina!! Ive always enjoyed talking with the people there and the candy making process as well!! They ALWAYS wish me safe travels home that is greatly appreciated.
A refreshing step back in time! Yall have got to stop by... friendly folks that know a thing or two about family tradition!
It is the best! I’ve found the candy that I loved as a kid.
Fresh made Christmas Candy doing business for generations. Brings back childhood memories.
I love to go to the shop at Christmas Time and watch time stretch out the candy.
I used to live in this neighborhood as a kid in 99 and I almost thought I had just dreamed of this candy store. It was a rather hard time for my family back then, and coming here to watch the process and sample the candy during Christmastime was really uplifting and special. Glad that this place is still around (almost 100 years old? wow) and still making great candy.
Since almost the turn of the century this candy factory has been making evetything the old fashioned way. Bags of candy are only 70 cents. Tradition and family is what makes this place a wonderful business. Stop by to take a tour of how candy was and still is made with love.
You can go in and watch them make the candy then purchase it for hardly anything. But bring cash because they do not accept credit not debit cards. Decent amount of candy for your money.
I like it, but that was my first time going there .
So friendly and helpful. They gave me a quick tour. Also, they give samples...yum yum! Theyll ship from the store and are very reasonable. Ann is so loving.
The best candy ever
I liked it very much. People were very nice an let my wife an I watch them make banana candy
Outstanding!! Enjoyed my time watching them make candy.
Very nice people! Awesome price! If you like hard candy this is your place!
Oh my goodness, these Peach Buds brought back memories from when I was a young girl!!! This candy is so good, I refuse to share!!!
If your looking for your grandmothers hard candy she had in the glass bowl at Christmas... this is where its made and the taste with hurl you back in time. Its that good and at a great price also.
Such friendly people. Got to watch them make their signature Hot Rocks candy from start to finish. Very cool to watch.
Great prices! Good old fashioned candy! Family business! Friendly staff!
Great candy prices
Love the candy. Customer service very friendly. Reasonably prices.
If you like hard candy then this is the place to get it, straight from the source plus you can support a local business
My husband had been given some of Williams candy so we made a point of visiting their location where in Virginia Beach. We watched peach buds being made from pouring the sugar/corn syrup on the water cooled table, mixing the color and flavor, twisting one section of the candy to get the air bubbles out, combining the 3 sections together and adding coconut in the center and putting the 120 lb roll through the machine to cut the finished into pieces.This is a family owned business, everyone is so warm and friendly, that began in 1919 and will be celebrating their 100th anniversary this year. We had some samples and they were all delicious. FYI..they accept cash only. Which is fine when you know ahead. You dont want to miss out on purchasing some candy. They make candy Monday and Tuesday right now and September to December they make it every day.
Love it!!!! Just wish the store was open on the weekend.
It was very interesting watching them make candy
Best old fashioned candy you can get in the country. Great value for a very fair priceBeen a customer for 45 years and I have enjoyed eating it all my life.👍👍👍
Prices have remained the same for several years. Still very reasonable. Employees are so nice and helpful.
The lady that helped with selecting the candy was very nice and helpful . Congratulations on your 100 year anniversary
Great candies for anytime, especially during the holidays.
It was fun to watch them make a batch of candy from start to finish while we were there.
The candy was great and the people were great. I had a great time.

Walked in and got to watch them make several different kinds of candy!
I buy from candy from company every year and they are the kind & respectful people I ever met.I am constantly telling others about them for their Christmas candy
I grew up downtown Newport News and my grandma brought this candy all the time. When I found this place I could have cried.
It was amazing to watch them make the peach buds.
My mom loves the candy they make on site.
This is a hidden Jewel of Hampton Roads that everyone should experience.

Smack dab in the middle of a neighborhood, this is a bare-bones operation run by pleasant, helpful proprietors.
