Scoops

I was planning my daughters wedding and visited the store to purchase a large amount of candy for our "PINK CANDY BAR". The owner seemed very helpful, allowing us to taste several items and making suggestions that would fall in with our color scheme. We even selected one of these items because we were told it was available in pink. She told us that because of the quantity we were purchasing that we would receive a 20% discount but she would need a credit card to order it. When we went to pick it up, my credit card had been charged and we did not get the promised 20% discount, only 10% on ONE of the items. The clerk was very nice, but unable to help us. We were given the owner's phone number. I called her with my concerns and was told that I had not ordered sufficient quantity to get a discount except for the one item and that she only ever gave 10% off for any order amount. Oh yeah --- One of the items we were told would be pink, were mostly red & white with very few pink. We were told that we could bring it back & they would pick out only the pink ones for us.....there would only be a handful of candies left! I was really glad that my daughter was with me the day I visited the store. We had made notes on the candy that we had selected, the original cost and the cost with the 20% discount. At least I had a witness that I wasn't crazy. I know that I placed my order based on the price that was given to me. We had been planning this wedding for a year. When possible, I always try to give my business to a local company, but in this case I was very unhappy. I had dealt with vendors all over the southeast, spent a lot of money and the only one who tried to cheat me was one of the locals from a tiny candy store in Covington Georgia.

Looking for great ice cream, in a great location, with lots of candy to boot? Then this is the place for you. I love the feeling I get when I walk into this store. I feel like a child again. My mind begins to race with all decisions I have to make. Will it be vanilla or birthday cake this time around? Delicious!!!

This is like the old candy stores you see in the movies! You walk in and there is just candy, candy, candy, everywhere! They have new candy as well as classic candy that you remember from your own childhood. They also have hand dipped ice cream and other goodies like cookies. I think my husband enjoyed this place more than my children! It makes me feel a bit nostalgic, and my kids love hearing about things from when I was a kid! The employees there are wonderful and understanding of children and their excitement to be in such an awesome candy store. This store has been a wonderful addition to the Covington Square business area, if you are in the area, definitely check it out!

This ice cream shop is the best It has an old fashion feel and great products from ice cream to candy. Some of the hard to find older candy as well. And great service. Love this place. And the prices are about the same as every where else.

The prices here are a bit steep, but the ice cream is to die for!! They have caramel apples that are exceptional, but they are $6! The service is great, and the products are to die for!
