Super cute store with lots to offer! I stopped by to pick up some Swedish candy that have been all the rage on TikTok. I was able to get everything I wanted to try and then some! They have tons to pick from, including candy from other countries. The prices are fair and employees are very friendly. I hope to return some time, their hours are a little strange though so it doesn't leave me a lot of time to visit.
Great service and very helpful. Jay always remembers what I like and will help me carry my snacks out to the car since my mobility is limited. There is a great selection of candy and always new products to try. My go to candy store.
Have wanted to check this place out forever, today was the day. Met Jay who stated they had been in business for around 6 years and at the current location for a year. It's a small store that it's set up to showcase a variety of different candies from all over. It's definitely a place that you have to go back to, just to absorb what they have. I got Mallow Cups, Zero Bar and a Watchmacallit Bar. Again you have to check it out at least once.
Jay and Shana Sokol's shop is one of a kind in Central Ohio. Best selection of candy from the UK for sure. There's always something new and interesting to try.
Buckeye Candy Company has 29 reviews, 28 of them are 5 stars. There's a good reason for this. It's a great candy store that's filled full of almost every kind of sweets and chocolates you can imagine from, hard to find, to retro and imports. What are some of my favorite chocolate bars that I found? Aero Zagnut Clark Heath Zero Chik 'O Stix Curly Whirly Skor (I just wish they'd carry Roshen brand, from Ukraine. One of the "hidden gems" in the chocolate world). Anyways, it's a great specialty shop to explore for yourself. You'll find many of your old favorites and maybe something new to try. 5 stars And Here's Another Morsel For You To Nibble On: * Use your Yelp check-in to get a 10% discount. * Wanting a gift for someone? How about getting them a selection of unusual chocolate bars? * They also have an interesting selection of sodas. * Be sure to check out their markdown section for some great deals!
What a gem for Gahanna! From the classic, old school candy to the seasonal candy to the international candy, this place is amazing. From the start, Jay the co-owner was very personable and gave me a lot of suggestions for candy I might enjoy. You can see he truly loves his business and the layout and selection confirms it. They're also really active on Facebook about their new stock. I'm not even a really big candy lover but it's hard not to love candy with all the excitement. I walked away with a full bag my first trip! Stop buying at big box stores and find the true gems here :)
I haven't updated since they moved? Well, they moved, down the street a bit, into the old Swan Cleaners. About 4 times as big, still stuffed with good things. Nostalgic candy, the latest TikTok trends, imports, seasonal, etc. Right now a lot of fun Christmas things. Raindeer poop gummies, old-fashioned ribbon candy, and much more. Plus some pop, fudge, bulk stuff, and a clearance table. Fun place, nice owners, astonishing assortment of treats.
OMGoodness! This is a paradise for adults who like and appreciate old school and good quality candy. No it isn't expensive but you kind of get into your feels paying $0.50 for a small pack of now and laters when I use to pay $0.10 "cough cough" years ago. I've seen them for $0.75. I have never bought them. They sell candy bars from other countries, Reese's, KitKat Bars, etc. I spent $46, not because it's expensive but because I was ridiculous.
What a fun candy shop! We came because we had heard of the great selection of imported British candies and loved every bit of it. Nothing beats nostalgic candy!Super sweet owner who took time to chat with us. This was our first visit but definitely won't be our last! Highly recommend it to anyone who loves candy but especially for those who love British sweeties and throwback classics!
Amazing selection of current and nostalgic candies - including an amazing assortment of UK sweets for anyone who longs for international chocolates. They also have an assortment of fancy rice crispie treats in a dozen varieties, along with a line of cotton candy in flavors ranging from PB&J to pickle and pizza. If you need candy for party favors, Valentine's day, stocking stuffers or any other gifts, this is your place. It made me feel like a kid again!
