“We ordered chocolates and candies from Old Fashioned Candies Inc. as our year-end gifts for clients, and the experience was excellent from start to finish. They handled everything seamlessly, from helping us choose the right assortment to putting together packaging that looked thoughtful and high-end.
The presentation was beautiful, and the chocolates themselves were outstanding. The white chocolate with peppermint bark was a big hit, along with the other items we selected. You can tell real care goes into both the product quality and how everything is prepared.
Just as important, they delivered exactly what they promised. Everything was completed on schedule and shipped out on time, which made the process completely stress-free for us during a busy time of year. We recommend them to anyone looking for a memorable gift that’s done right.”
“I can’t say enough about my experience! Easy, professional & expedient. As a busy CEO, I’m beyond grateful to the whole team for their dedication to great customer service. THANK YOU!!”

“First time customer, Ashley and Adriana were amazing! Great customer service and recommendations. Will definitely be back again. Awesome selection. Maybe bring in more vintage candy.”
“This place is a gem for purchasing matcha, bonbons, lattes, and even the vegan soft serve! I originally came to buy some matcha and also ended up having the vegan matcha and black sesame soft serve, which was really rich in flavor, but also amazing! Also note, the bonbons are mostly not vegan (there is only vegan option).”
“This is the only place to get cheese popcorn! If you like heavily coated cheese popcorn like I do, this is the place to go! I’ve never had anything I didn’t like and the people are so kind here. I love supporting this family owned shop!”
“I used Amy's Candy Bar for a Conference (~800 attendees) and we absolutely loved the service. The candy was displayed beautifully and freshly restocked each day. It was truly a highlight of our event and the sponsor was so happy. Absolutely 10/10 would recommend to any event planner looking for something fun!”
“Needed chocolate coins for new years and no other place had any, been driving three hours and seen this place on Google Maps. Called the store and a very nice older gentleman picked up and said they had them. Not only that but the chocolates they made and had in store were amazing. If you want good candy and good customer service come here they’ll get you right?”
“Had a hand made Chocolate covered Caramel Apple, and it was one of the best I’ve ever had. I also purchased some peanut butter toffee chocolate in a jar, it’s delicious and the packaging is perfect for gifting. Thank you Annette!!!”

“This was a great find when I lived in Bridgeport. So much so that I drive in from the suburbs to get what I need. The ladies who work here are absolutely lively, always friendly and helpful. I buy raw nuts for granola and trail mix. Great prices and but in bulk and store.”
“Very nice people and wonderful candies. The atmosphere is always welcoming. There is always a wait because they help you down to the last bow! I got my great niece all her Halloween candy here but the hit of the party were the two wind up rats I got here too!”
“Yes, they are a little expensive but are a nice delicacy. I remember going here with my grandma and getting caramel bonbons in the 90’s. They don’t make them anymore but they were great. Great memories. My kids and I go every once in awhile and spend too much. It is so good. It is a quiet and clean store when it isn’t any love holiday.”

“On 11/22/2024 @ 17:21 pm, Lili served us. My husband wanted 4, dark chocolate, vanilla filled buttercreams, I wanted 2 petite walnut, truffles. We got six, milk chocolate, chelated filled butter creams. The server did not bother to listen to our order, git it wrong, and did not want to be there. We want a full refund or gift card. The customer service was atrocious and the order all wrong!! I am increasing the stars, manager, gave 2 boxes of buttercreams, vanilla for the wrong order so ? happy.!”
“Very friendly and honest owners! I always use them for my chair and tables rental and they’re always very professional and on time. They also have the best rental prices!”

“By far my favorite candy shop in the area— anywhere really!. Always so nice & helpful. The chocolate is so delicious! Their choc covered strawberries & bananas (usually special order at the Indian Head Park store) are amazing! Can’t say enough nice things about Old Fashioned candies! Their Berwyn store has more offerings but if you want something they’ll bring it over, if you ask.”
“Wonderful little store in a fun part of town that offers DELICIOUS ice cream, as well as very nice sweets and chocolates. The staff are very friendly and knowledgeable, and they seem to know their stuff when it comes to what they have to sell and how good it is.
My partner super loved the ice cream and equated it to her favorite ice-cream place in Missouri. We’ll definitely be coming back for more when we visit the area.”
“The staff are amazing and incredibly helpful. I've been to the outlet a few times to pick up WFC chocolate for our annual fundraiser and we wouldn't even think about hosting our event without WFC. Great selection, great prices, great staff!!!!”
“These pinatas are absolutely beautiful and extremely durable so they don't break open after 4 kids have had their turn swinging. Customer service is outstanding, very warm and helpful. You have to check them out, you'll be happy you did.”
“I have been going to Fannie May since I was a teenager. They still sell candy by the piece or cup, and you can mix and match. I love the Dixies, balls of delicious caramel rolled in toasted pecans. The dark chocolate candied citrus peel is great. You can buy a boxed set or create your own. The best part is that their staff are seniors that live near the store. It's like getting candy from your grandparents. They are very sweet, especially Jeanette from Broadview IL. I hope to work there as my third act.”

“We ordered Nutstop because we were looking for a healthier snack option for the kids during sports games. We are pleasantly surprised! Nutstop is so good! They have so many options and we have found ourselves eating nutstop for all our snacks! They have so many options. My kids love the chamoy rings and the watermelon slice gummies. We have also been snacking on the healthy nut mix and moms favorite the milk chocolate Almonds. They have great prices and the quantity is alot! Definitely recommend.”

“Big daddy’s is by far the best fudge I’ve ever tasted. My favorite is the chocolate jack. Melt in your mouth creaminess, with the warmth of the whiskey. I give it as gifts and that’s the one everyone wants. Delivers every time!!!”
