This has been on the third day the very best experience of this thousand mile trip to have a vacation where nothing is planned - Gretels Candy Store is incredible! The building showed someone cares for this business but 1 foot inside the business and my brain could not keep up with what my eyes were seeing! I truly saw every candy of every type that I had ever seen in my entire life and a number more I’d never seen! The Dr Pepper Cotton Candy took my attention after I dealt with the HARRY POTTER Items I could not get past, like the chocolate Wands and chocolate Snitches - but the Butterbeer jellybeans in a mug blew my mind! Eight other HP Candy’s deserve attention too! From Sweet and Sour towers to lollipop towers to make your own sour power straw of whatever size you want to pay for — and I need to add this is NOT a tourist trap with prices filled high - NO! My daughter bought a stuffed Axolotl now named Sandy for twenty bucks and a pound of salt water taffy which turned out to be really good and I do not even like saltwater taffy. Last of all, don’t miss out on the section along the back of the wall that is for all the different types of spicy candy that there are many of which I had never even heard of! And I need to mention right here that they had a box of Kraft macaroni and cheese gummy! And an entire world of PEZ both candy and the dispensers!!! And a JellyBelly wall where I could get just JUICY PEAR! And gourmet chocolate!!!!! And SUGAR FREE OPTIONS THROUGHOUT THE STORE!! If it’s been a while since you have felt like a kid, you owe it to yourself to have a visit to Gretel‘s Candy shop where it seems like the Willy Wonka world comes to life! Best of all the person who cashed us out answered all my questions!...

MMMMYYYYYYY GOOD GAAAWWWDDDDD IN HIS GOOD-GOOD HEAVEN! When I tell you ANY & EVERY candy you can imagine, even candies you can’t find any where else from childhood! WHEEEEEW JEZUUUUH! I bout lost my mind. They have so many cool items besides the candies too. I stood I front of the chocolate counter staining & drooling like somebodies Saint Bernard! I looked over & saw the GIANT homemade Reese Cups & Turtles & OMG JUST EVERYTHING & I immediately went into a trance. & The “Sours” I LOOOOOVE SOUR CANDY! 😆 Father Gawd….talk about TROUBLE-TROUBLE! I wanted it AAAAAALLLLLLLL!!!! Thank Goodness he wanted ice cream bad enough, he pulled me up outta there cause the Candy Devil had a SERIOUS hold of me! 😂 I didn’t know which way to go or what to grab 1st…I wanted this I wanted that! When they say over 3K types of candies they are NOT lying! if the phrase “Like a Kid In a Candy Store” was a person…IT WAS ME!!! 👋🏽! If ever in the area…you have GOT to go there; but they now have a new customer for LIFE in me; I’ll order online too when we go home! HA! & the store is just beautifully decorated & clean! #HAPPYCUSTOMER! ☺️🍭🍬🍫☺️ Gretels Candy House...
Read moreWhen I visited the shop I felt as if I had entered a fairy land .It was magical and that everything would come alive. It was one of the highlights of our visit..It was one of the most memorable and delightful experiences of our lives.The decoration was out of this world and a lot of colourful displays and sweet aromas. So many different varieties of candies and sugary treats to choose from. The candies are from all over the world which are of different flavours combined with fruits and nuts.The owner was very kind and welcoming and she offered many samples to taste. The staff were also very loving and courteous. Its a happy place to be in. I can spend hours in that shop.I would recommend everybody to surely visit this place. This candy shop could be on a show or a movie. This candy store is my guilty pleasure. While we were driving the shop from outside caught my eye. The kids can click pictures inside the shop and outside. I would love to visit...
