The Sweet Shop — Restaurant in Sanford

I had the absolute best experience & service EVER!! 🌟🍬🙏🏼☺️ I had an issue come up where I needed 20 bags of cotton candy ASAP.! I found “THE SWEET SHOP” online & called to ask how many bags they had available. A nice man answered the phone & answered all of my questions. I told him I was heading there to purchase cotton candy. I received a call back from a friendly lady who asked me how many bags of cotton candy I needed. I felt SO BAD, because I needed 20 bags. I asked if that was ok or if that was too many bags at such short notice. She assured me they would get it done & we went over flavors & prices.

They even threw in an extra free bag of banana cotton candy & a free cup of traditional red candy grapes for being my first time.

So good! I'm not from here but visit once every couple years and found this place from one of their Facebook ads. Decided to take my kids there and bring back some sweet treats. We got chocolate covered pineapples, peanut butter chocolate covered pineapples, 3 different types of fudge and 2 candied apples oh and their candied plumbs. My favorite was the chocolate covered pineapple. My son got a rocky road apple which he loved and let his siblings taste it as well. My parents live nearby and my mom also loved the pineapple and mentioned she'll have to stop by with my dad some time. Great prices and even...
