Wythe Candy & Gourmet Shop — Attraction in Williamsburg

This is a huge candy store located on the modern end of the historic strip, nestled in, with a ton of great shopping and meal options it's provided itself with a great location making any stop perfect for dessert following dinner at nearby restaurants, as well as just a fun treat, during your stroll through town or to compliment your latest shopping trip.

Selection is massive offering retro and modern candies, pre packed and homemade, packed and sold by weight. There's undoubtedly some type of candy here for anyone who walks in the door.

Shop itself is cute, and spacious, yet as spacious as it might be is cluttered with displays and opportunity to show off their inventory, and on very busy days, which are often due to the high volume of tourism in this specific area, can get a little overwhelming.

Plentiful check out options and usually staffed but wait times for service and combating lines can be a longer wait then you've bargained for. They're often cluttered, with little organization. Service is friendly, and usually quick.

We spent quite a bit of money, but we also got quite a bit of candy. Like, any gourmet shop where you pay by the weight, and for product made on the spot, you'll pay a slightly, but reasonable uptick in price.

All in all, a great candy shop with ample selection, perfect location to meet your days needs, somewhat busy, if not a cluttered layout, but fast efficient service and friendly faces offers the most welcoming little environment for a...

Visited the store and encountered Ms Taylor. She couldn't have been more obvious that she didn't like our presence there. First she told me they had the candy I was looking for and sent me to two different directions, after a long search, someone else told me they didn't have it at all! Then she mumbled something when it was our turn to check out and just left to help other people. She was even told by a customer they didn't need help but she paced back and forth looking for someone else to help. She continued to pace and go in and out of their closets but not once attempting to check us out. Not sure if my brown skin was her problem but her demeanor and behavior towards us was very obvious and we were not welcome there! And yet she seemed to be helpful and courteous with everyone else...I was the only brown person there. 🤔 My 7 yr old even asked why was this "lady ignoring us". Very sad to experience this type of treatment for some...

I really loved this candy store. They have such a fantastic selection to choose from that it is so hard to pick. Also the place smells great.....

I was able to get a couple of pounds of assorted chocolates to bring home. You can get the boxes premade or you can choose what you want, which was perfect for me since I don't care for white or dark chocolates. The prices might seem high, but the chocolates are of great quality and are delicious. Definitely recommend the sea salt caramels 😋.

The young lady that assisted me (who I didn't get her name) was so helpful and patient as I was making my selections. She packed everything so professionally looking and neat.

This shop is very clean and organized. The staff other than the lady that assisted me is friendly as well.

Overall, I definitely recommend this place if you want to buy candy for yourself or as a gift. I will most certainly stop in again the next time I am...
