Nelson’s Columbia Candy Kitchen — Local services in Sonora

The first thing I asked the counter person was if they had boxes that the candy could be shipped in since I was getting a birthday present for my daughter and had to mail it. I am guessing that when we hand select candy we receive a flimsy box and the candies are not placed in paper cups inside a standard sturdy box that the pre packaged candy usually comes in. I didn’t complain at the time because the selection was excellent but after paying over $40.00 and imagining my daughter opening up a box of candy where all the pieces are jammed together I was thinking she would consider that I didn’t put much thought into this one time a year birthday gift. I won’t be shopping there again. My daughter received the candy and one mint was smooshed. The $7.95 Marshmallow Candy was damaged and did not come with the painstaking design that the person who made the candy had done. The white pin line frosting that was a beautiful decoration was broken...

I absolutely love this store! No matter how many times we've moved, From Turlock to Stockton to the high desert in southern California now we're in Sacramento, I've managed to get my hands on their candy. My favorite are the peach gummies, cinnamon bears, chocolate covered cherries and rocky road fudge. Absolutely delicious! I've tried the sugar free chocolate box, when I was pregnant and had gestational diabetes and you couldn't even tell it was sugar free so don't shy away if your diabetic. The customer service is alway friendly and the prices are reasonable for such good product. Its a tiny store so be prepared for a line but it moves fast. We came up for mothers day and are already planning our next trip up. We appreciate this amazing craft and gem of a tradition. So much love from The...

On my first trip to Columbia State Historic Park, some of our teachers did not expect us to buy so much candy. Once we noticed the Columbia Candy Kitchen Inc, almost everyone had to buy a bag of candy. I bought three of the biggest rock candy balls I had ever seen. One of my friends dared me to stuff one in my mouth: it barely fit. About an hour later, the rock candy melted enough I could get it out. My jaw hurt so much, I could not talk. However, another hour later, I had another one in my mouth.

Oh, the joy to be...
