Was lucky enough to go to the opening of The Sweet Spot and took a few pics. The store looks great and has something for everyone. The kids LOVE the wall of bins where they could make their own mix. Great chocolates (for their parents) and flavored sodas and ice cream to go with it all. Hillsboro is just a little bit sweeter now Christmas photos are candy favor bags The Sweet Spot made for a Christmas themed wedding shower. Not a one was left by the end.

I love candy stores where you can mix your own bag, and this place is exactly that! I mostly like the chocolate options but got a few other things as well. There are a lot of gummy candies - which isn’t my thing, but if you like gummies, they have tons. My chocolate suggestions are the almonds, cashews, caramels, and some kind of birthday cake batter thing. So delish.

This little candy shop has the candy you remember as a kid. The overall selection is amazing. They work with other businesses in town and help bring everyone together with little contests and giveaways.

Stepping into The Sweet Spot feels like walking into a candy-filled dream! This charming little store is an absolute gem — a must-visit for anyone with a sweet tooth or a love for all things whimsical. Growing up I would have never dreamed of seeing a place like this in my hometown.

The variety of candy is simply incredible. From nostalgic classics and international favorites to trendy new treats, there’s something here for everyone. Whether you're into sour gummies, artisan chocolates, or retro sweets you haven't seen since childhood, The Sweet Spot has it all neatly organized and beautifully displayed.

The design of the store is part of what makes the experience so magical. Bright colors, playful signs, and delightful candy-themed decor create an atmosphere that’s both fun and welcoming. It’s clear that a lot of thought went into every detail, making it a joy to browse around.

The mini shopping carts for kids are a nice touch. They’re the perfect size for little hands and make young visitors feel like part of the adventure. Watching kids push their own carts, grinning ear-to-ear as they pick their favorite treats, is truly heartwarming.

The Sweet Spot isn’t just a candy store — it’s an experience. Whether you're stopping in for a quick treat or spending time exploring every display, you'll leave with a smile (and probably a bag full of goodies). Highly...

Dylan and Katie have completely encompassed the ultimate candy store. The store itself is set up uniquely and eye-catching— yet still well organized and displayed so you can see each hand picked item they chose to bring to their candy shop. They make the entire candy buying experience so incredibly special and F-U-N! From recommending their favorites— to showing interest in what is in your bulk bag and seeing what each child has picked out— greeting each customer with enthusiasm — they are all in! And I’m so happy they chose to bring their idea to life— my family will forever be fans of the Sweet Spot and Katie and Dylan and we will have core memories within its walls for...

Our small town hit the jackpot when a young couple decided to open the most beautiful and delicious store on Main Street! The Sweet Spot is an amazing candy store and so much more!!! The have LOTS of varieties of chocolates and candy available to mix and match by the pound. I love the vintage "old school" candy that they have from when I was younger! They sell delicious ice cream and sodas as well as cheesecake. It's fun to advertise for them by wearing the cute t-shirts and totes they have for sale as well. The owners are so friendly and welcoming from the moment you enter...
