Sarris Candies is a family-owned business that has been delighting customers for decades. Starting as a small chocolate shop in the basement of the Sarris family home, it has grown into a major operation with a factory, ice cream parlor, and storefront covering an entire city block. The business was founded by Frank Sarris, who wanted to impress his future wife Athena with homemade chocolates. Today, Sarris Candies employs over 350 people and is known for its high-quality products and exceptional customer service. Visitors to Sarris Candies are greeted with the rich, intoxicating aroma of fresh chocolate being crafted on-site. The main showroom is a veritable Willy Wonka dream, with walls lined with colorful, carefully curated chocolates, lollipops, novelty candies, and seasonal treats. The chocolate is the real star of the show, with the family's milk chocolate described as incredibly smooth, creamy, and perfectly sweet. Standout products include the chocolate-covered pretzels, peanut butter meltaways, and classic chocolate bars. The ice cream parlor, tucked away in the back, is a hidden gem, complete with retro decor and sundaes piled high with whipped cream, sprinkles, and chunks of fresh Sarris chocolate. The staff is always friendly, knowledgeable, and willing to help customers create the perfect gift. Whether you're a local or a tourist, Sarris Candies is a must-visit destination, offering a sweet and nostalgic experience that will stick with you long after you leave.
Always a great place to stop on my way through the area.

Always worth the drive and long line for ice cream. Hard cap sundaes never disappoint. Staff is friendly. Indoor seating is limited but there is plenty of outdoor seating. I don't patronize the candy store but has some cute selections.
