Canelake's Candies — Local services in Virginia

I had an awful experience with my son who was 3 at the time and needed to use the restroom. I was told no, in an extremely rude tone, as they have no public Restrooms. I asked where I could bring him and the lady shrugged her shoulders. He had an accident in the store. I had already payed for over $100 in candy. Pretty dissapointing. I will never go back or support their buisne. EVERYTIME someone brings the name up I tell them how they made me feel and what happened with my son. Shame on you. I understand not wanting the entire world in your restroom, seems a little petty but I get it. But a paying customer with a young child. Do better

Full disclosure this was a few years ago but wvery single time I hear the name canelakes I think of how awful they made us feel. Its an experience that will stick...

Always make this a stop on our way up north. An Iron Range staple going back to 1905. Have a wide range of candies from their delicious turtles to chocolate clusters. Canelake's also has a soda fountain and many ice cream offerings as well. Great display case of the many different types of homemade candies made on site. Kids will have a fun time sampling the many flavors of jelly beans stored in dispensers. Spent 15 minutes with my niece going thru all the varieties. Definitely try the strawberry cheesecake and s'mores and cream! If you like licorice they have a wide range of varieties to meet your taste buds. Reasonably priced, excellent service and is handicap accessible. Easy on street parking. One of the best candy stores you will find anywhere...

This was a wonderful stop on a fall day trip! It was great to see a small family business continue. The staff was friendly and helpful. The soda fountain was an absolute delight and totally unexpected. I highly recommend the raspberry lime float. It was amazing to see the history and pride in the business. Obviously the candy was fabulous, but the entire experience was well worth the trip. If you want to avoid the crowds along the north shore checking out the fall colors, take the trip to Virginia, MN and make sure you stop by Canelake's Candies for a super sweet time while enjoying the beautiful...
