Cape Cod Candy — Restaurant in Yarmouth

Other than requesting customers must wear masks, there are no other preventative measures put in place during the Covid pandemic. Unlike many other extremely popular candy and chocolate stores on the Cape that are limiting the number of customers in their store at a time, this place is not. It is a very small store and during my visit, there were 3 workers (who were not socially distancing) and 17 customers. While some families were allowing their kids to run around all over the store, which in pre pandemic times would only make sense in a candy store, the owner of the store was saying nothing to ensure a socially distant experience for all. Additionally, the owners did nothing to hold off other customers coming into the store resulting in a very crowded room where one was not able to maintain the social 6ft apart rule. I actually had to have my kids leave the store out of concern for safety so I could pay for our items. When I confronted the owner he got VERY defensive stating that everyone was distancing when they clearly were not. He also stated that other stores are not as popular as his - a statement that doesnt hold any relevance when it comes to the safety of customers and making sure proper rules are enforced to provide everyone with an enjoyable experience. In the middle of him totalling my purchases he was clearly done with our conversation, and me, and had another girl come finish the transaction and then he disappeared. I certainly understand the stresses businesses are facing, especially on the Cape this summer, but the owner clearly only feels he needs to do the bare minimum during this pandemic and not about whether or not he is providing a SAFE, FUN experience for all. Afterall, candy stores on the Cape are about the experience, fun and great variety of options and items. Unfortunately our experience was ruined. Based on the owners reaction and how he handled the situation, I will never return, or suggest this store to anyone I know. Owners do not care about their customers and I can't support that type...

If you're anything like me you'll find yourself blown away by all of the candy options here.

Strangely, I found myself spending $50 despite my not really having a sweet tooth. I have no idea what happened. I was clearly body snatched the second I stepped over the threshold. Actually, I was teleported back to the 90s and I loved it.

Fruitstripes gum, cry babies, air heads, peach rings, candy cigarettes, old fashion filled strawberry hard candies, gummy raspberries, salt water taffy, fudge...you name it they have it. A crazy and eclectic collection of every genre and generation of candy to exist at least within the last century and then some. If you have a sweet tooth this is your dream come true. If you don't I'll be shocked if you still don't manage to leave there with at least one thing that you enjoyed at some point in life.

The staff are all very nice, which is a bonus. I recommend swinging in even if it's for nothing more than a trip down...

The woman with the short straight brown hair, depressing black mask and thousand-yard-stare behind the counter today confiscated a tiny paper box I was trying to make into a collage for a child who requested it because it had the shoppe’s logo on it. It was such a simple and small detail that could have made or broke the trip because we are not from here, yet have been coming for over a decade once a summer to visit. Yet this woman did the pettiest thing imaginable- secretly removed the small, thin paper box from the order after it was paid for and made sure it did not make it into our bag. This is stunning to me because the ONLY thing she had to do was mention if there was something wrong, or an additional fee, and I would have instantly paid it! She lost this store a sale, soured our day and wouldn’t even make eye contact with a single person in line in front of or behind me. Just staring off… emotionless…. Like an NPC… like she...
