An absolutely MASSIVE selection of near every candy you can think of! Plus souvenirs, magnets, even dried crickets if you're feeling adventurous or looking for a bar snack ;)
This store has just about everything a candy-lover could want. There is a wide variety of "old-time" candy intermixed with new delights. I come from the East Coast and always got taffy when we went "down the shore", so every once in a while I feel the need. This store has an astonishing variety of fresh taffy. All the usual favorites are there, plus some unique: pickle and chicken 'n' waffles for example. The store owner. Darrin, is worth visiting even if you're not a candy lover. His wicked sense of humor and wonderful customer care are legendary. A must-visit in Old Sac.
Such a cute and unique store. There are TONS of different candies to choose from - chocolates, gummies, s’mores, even crickets! There’s a HUGE section of taffy with insane flavors such as maple bacon, popcorn butter, mango chili, peanut butter and jelly, and so many more. The taffy costs $5.50 or so per 1/2 pound. Other stuff have slightly different prices per a certain weight but they are reasonable! The line to pay may look long but moves pretty fast. They used to do free samples but not anymore since the pandemic. A must visit while in Old Town Sacramento!
Overall fun place to explore, workers don’t care to be there but it’s cool place to check out.
So much to see and choose from. That's not a bad thing. The gentleman behind the counter was very helpful and rather pleasant. I really appreciated his demeanor. It made it fun to be there. Just as a side note you can purchase the baskets that You used to collect your goods, the large or the small. I purchased a small one for a very reasonable price to package and present the gift I was putting together. I wish I would have taken some pictures.
