“The second you walk into this place it’s worth it for the delicious smells! They have something for everyone here. The owners and staff are so friendly! If you need sweets for any reason this is the spot!”
“The older reviews say cash only. The store updated several years ago and now accepts credit cards. Cash helps keep costs down.
They fill the popcorn bags. For some sizes (l only get the larger ones, so no experience with the smaller) they place a second bag inverted over the top to avoid spilling. A bit inconvenient to eat on the go. You can ask them to put your order in the next larger bag to avoid this.
I believe many or most employees are students, so tips help pay tuition.
I plan to go there later today.”
“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.!”
“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.”
“What a joy it was to go to this candy store it was small but the guy upfront had bigger energy that I loved emanating from him he really does love and know his candy I tried new ones and enjoyed them!! It was a blast and pleasure to be here and I will be back to get that mars bar and that amazing soft serve!! ❤🖤”

“I come here every Christmas to get a custom-made box of candy for each of my sons and I always look forward to this visit. The women that work here are consistently, professional, friendly, cheery, and oh so helpful. Really unusual in this day and age. Today a woman named Jina waited on me and she was absolutely delightful. She gave me a couple of samples and made me feel so welcome and unhurried. Really really a wonderful experience that I look forward to every year.”
“I stopped for gift and Jennifer was fantastic. She asked a few questions about what/who the gift was for then offered some suggestions on what to buy...THANK YOU, Jennifer.”
“The service I received at Fannie Mae's was very good the associate was very informative on the candies that they had. Missing many old favorites
When I took the candies home and ate them over the week they were good but there was nothing there that was spectacular. SAD”
“I love this quintessential Hinsdale shop. It has been here forever is perfect for gifts, balloons, cards, candy, stop before jumping on the train... Amazing service: accommodating, personal, and funny. These are the special local places I hope stay in business forever.”
“Ferrara has earned its place as a top candy company. Black forest fruit snacks have a not-too-sticky texture and moderately sweet taste that makes them stand out amongst competitors. There is one way the product could improve, though- the variety of flavors in each pouch isn't always mixed. For example, this pouch had one apple and 5 strawberries, with no cherry or grape. It wasn't the only one in the box that way either.”
“What an exotic candy store! Lots of different candies from different countries. From popcorn flavored cotton candy to chocolate covered gummy bears. Of course they have local and more known candy too.”
“Love this place! I really appreciate a business that is low waste and straight to the point. They also have a wide variety of grains, teas, herbs, and spices. I tend to use large amounts of certain spices so having the flexibility in container size is very helpful.”
