The Candy Shop Espresso Stop — Restaurant in Hamilton

Well I’m pretty disappointed and have never left a negative review before, but this one seems necessary. I kindly commented on the businesses facebook page as a suggestion but rather than responding they deleted my comment.

My family decided to try out the new place in town. We were excited for crepes but were bummed to find their takeout only. I am not interested in eating a messy crepe in my vehicle, and I certainly am not interested in my two small children trying to eat theirs in their car seats. We opted not to get the crepes, but wanted to support the new business. We got a couple of drinks— they were standard coffee and tea. My kids each picked out a chocolate. Unfortunately my son’s peanut butter chocolate cup was so stale it was not edible— even by a child who eats anything that has sugar. I believe the candy from the Darby location was just brought over.

My Facebook comment suggested the large space in the middle that is taken up by a huge section of candy be used for a couple of tables instead. I even ended my comment on their page saying we “love supporting new businesses ❤️ “ They were not interested in my feedback, so I decided to rate them on google as per their more recent Facebook post suggested.

I’m really bummed, but a new candy store in town is not really necessary. A crepe place really did sound...

So disappointing! Brought my grandkids to pan for gemstones and fossils. The young ladies working didn’t seem to be interested in doing anything, other than working the drive thru. When I told the girl we were interested in panning she said, “only if you take it home.” What? She reluctantly explained that there was a possibility of rain (it was overcast, definitely no immediate threat of rain) and we couldn’t pan, because if there was lightning, we would have to stop. Again, seemed more like she had zero interest in helping us, than any real “safety issue.” I asked about the different bags and she literally pointed to the pictures and said, the prices are right there. So, we shopped for candy and when I asked about certain candies, we were told they were waiting for a candy shipment. This was Saturday afternoon, in June… seems like training the inventory manager would be good, too. We bought some candy and asked for 1 fossil and 1 gemstone bag…only then did the young lady tell me they were out of the fossil bag. (Definitely could have shared that info earlier, when I asked about the different bags). I’m sharing all of this in the hopes that the manager will read this and train their staff better, so future customers and children are not...

What a cute new place! They’ve done a great job with setting up this candy store and my kids had a wonderful time there. I’m not sure if maybe they’re using old candy, but almost all of it was pretty stale. For example, the taffy’s were not soft at all-they were crunchy Some of the fudge was fresh, yay! But, the s’mores fudge square was dreadfully stale, we had to throw it away. Bear claw and haystacks were rocks. Seriously, like these things could’ve taken out Goliath, lol. Gumballs were kind of a choking hazard for my kids. Maybe get some fresh product in and then you’d be a 5 star place! Super sweet customer service, but unfortunately we...
