Its a nice little store, but the prices are just way too high. I wanted a bag of gummy bears, about 2oz and I believe the price was right around 5.00. Guess who put them back?

We waited to get some fudge and had none of the staff member say anything to us, not a hey we will be right with you, not a word. We left the store and the employees didnt even flinch. I wouldnt go here because of terrible customer service.

The staff were anything but sweet or helpful. I was so uncomfortable in this shop. I left once, came back later to try again and it was worse. Expensive like the rest of the places in the area. I expected this to some extent.I did enjoy the white chocolate thing I bought and that is the only reason this has 2 stars. Probably wont ever go here again though.Ive spent many years in customer service and if you dont enjoy that part of your job then go work somewhere without interaction with the public. Especially, when many of your customers are children.

We picked the fudge buy 4 get 2 free, they taste good. The chocolate coconut fudge is too good just melts in your mouth. The store has other candies too, a bit pricey though.

This is a very expensive candy store. We go every time we leave the aquarium as a reward for being good in the gift shop. I spend $1 on 2 pieces of candy each for my 3 kids. Id never buy more than that as it is so pricey. The store is clean and the employees are nice, its just too expensive!

A bit on the pricey side, sure, but its really good. Nice selection of bagged and bulk candies but I think the real winner is the various fudges. Theyve got the more traditional ones along with some others that you think wouldnt work, but they do. Thankfully theyll give you small samples to try to see what you like, though that really doesnt help narrow it down. I ended up getting the cookie dough fudge. 12/10, would get diabetes again.

I’ve been a regular customer here for about five years or more, and it’s sad to say that my experiences have gone downhill within the past year. I’m not sure if store policy changed or if it’s just certain employees but the pieces of fudge have gotten smaller and smaller every time I go. I feel like they are giving me the pieces that they take the samples from. Paying almost 4 dollars for a 2” x 2” square. I remember when I used to get pieces almost the size of my palm, now that’s well worth the money that they charge.

Overpriced candy store. Service is friendly. But, I wonder how many sales they are missing out on with their fudge prices...buy 4 get 2 free, not buy 2 get 1 free?? Not everyone wants to buys that much fudge. Poor sales tactic.

Overpriced and gimmicky. Didnt buy anything as they were charging $4 for a tiny box of M&Ms I could get at CVS for $2. The only thing that looked tempting was the fudge and as overpriced as everything else in the store is, I wasnt going to bother. There is also a lot of wasted space in the store that could be used to widen the available selection of candy. It seems this shop is intended to catch people headed to or from the aquarium with their kids so they get sucked into paying 4x as much for basic theater candy and gummies they could get at a pharmacy or gas station. Dont waste your time here.

You know how every shopping center has its one fun store? This is it. The deluxe-rainbow-mixing Icee machines that no bar can match, the collection of grandma candies no ones ever heard of, and laughable banana dipped stuff (middle-school-joke paradise); this store has got its own unbeatable sweets and brand-name candy youve always loved

The lady behind the fudge counter was so rude that I ended up not finishing shopping I had to leave! I cant believe a company would hire someone like her in costumer service

This candy store is terrible, they literally close an hour and 20 minutes early every single day. The online website says they stay open until 9pm and so does the door and it will be 7:45 and the doors are already locked and closed and they will literally watch you try to open the door and ignore you. That is beyond rude and the candy is beyond overpriced for what bs little section they do have! I would not recommend and the fudge is hard just go to Walmart or a bakery but not here!

Old timey candy, new experimental candy, fill your own bag, or grab and go. A little pricey but we werent buying for a party there so no biggie. The staff was so fun and really knew a lot about the different candy! Even got my pre-teen to engage in convo.

We purchased the 4 pieces/2 free. Four of the squares were so hard we couldnt cut them with the plastic knife they gave us. So disappointing. It wasnt heap either. Obviously they took the candy from the front of the display tray and it probably had been sitting in the case a while. We visited there on a Wednesday in Jan.

Dont buy any drinks from here. They use paper straws!!!!! Which dont work 1/2 way through your drink. I wont be getting my drinks from here again. I think paper straws is the dumbest idea anyone ever came up with!
