Bon Bon Candies — Local services in Bainbridge Island

I have been visiting the store for many years (almost yearly or more frequent), unfortunately the last visit was the most disappointing. I was told due to pandemic (which no matter what you think about what was happening ended a few years ago) they only carry prepackaged cubes at $6. I am not sure what is the weight of these, and how they are cut to make them exactly even for the handmade product. The shop assistants cannot provide samples (I guess apart from 1 samples de jour, which might not be what one wants). I bought walnut, pecans, when previously these were packed with nuts, I hardly can find a half of a nut in the cube. Additionally, the cubes are very soft, meaning the ingredients have been change to cheap version. Sad that such Bainbridge staple has deteriorated to hardy edible...

A beautiful confection shoppe. Could have spent hours in there just looking at all the wonderful candies and rich treats. It's a small business, as in space, so they are limited to how many customers are allowed in at a time abiding by the COVID19 state mandates. Which I am happy to see and appreciate. So expect to wait in line outside but it is totally totally worth it. Tried some new sweet treats that we'd never had, by recommendation from staff and OMG! We are from Sumner and will come back to Bainbridge just for the candy! Happy to support small, local business during these...
