Blooms Candy & Soda Pop Shop

Who doesn’t like any candy shop? My nieces had a hard time budgeting their money when they are here. They want to buy everything in the store! They manage to spend $ 8 and left the store happy. Any place that’ll make my nieces happy is always a five star to me.

This candy shop is tucked away in a small strip mall. I had a hard time finding it at first as it is not visible from the street. As soon as I walked in, I was overwhelmed by the size of their inventory. They had everything from old school candies to all types of sodas, except they did not have any blueberry-​flavored sodas! However, I did find Green Tea Kit Kats! Yes, they were insanely expensive… I think it ended up being $ 2 a piece or something ridiculous.

Excellent selection of unique candies!
Really good for special occasions and/​or party favors.
I purchased cricket pops, yes. that’s a cricket inside a candy pop. I used them in a sermonette on John the Baptist for the little kids at church.
I donot have a baseline to do a price comparison, but I found the price a bit higher then your average tootsie pop.
We had fun in the shop and its located in the old town square of Carrolton.

In a nut shell: You could literally spend an hour in here and not see everything. They have every kind of candy imaginable and then some. If you like gag gifts, candy, and insulting gifts then this is your place.
This is my kind of shop, not so much my husbands. I saw all the old school candies I hadn’t seen in many moons. If there is a root beer made in the world, they have it. I would venture a guess that they have over 50 types of root beers and then another whole refrigerated section of bottled sodas like Nehi grape, cherry and orange. All bottled in glass and looking good. We walked in at 7ishPM and we were the only ones in there. By the times we left there was probably 15 people or so.
I reminisced on the details of the powdered candy in the fruit shaped plastic containers, the «Ice cube» chocolates my momma used to enjoy and all the details of the displays. This place is a whirlwind of detail that is easy to miss. Take the time to enjoy old downtown Carrollton, I can’t wait to go back to this charming nook when everything is open.

this place has everything! think of all those candies you use to eat back in the day, and they even have savory snacks and soda pops! if you are ever having a sweet tooth, this would be the best place for you tucked away in wonderful downtown carrollton!

This is one of the coolest candy shops. They have a little bit of everything. Various sodas and root beers. Lots of nostalgic candy, some from abroad and hard to find items. They even have a 26lb gummy bear and I believe a 6 foot gummy snake, Insane. Fun little place to browse and get some cook treats and items.

Came in on a whim to try all things nostalgia that day and found a cute candy store. It’s in the downtown historical part of Carrollton and can be hard to miss if you don’t know that it’s over there with Babes chicken.
They had a bunch of old school candies and memorabilia that had me repeating «omg I remember these!!» They even had a cooler full of crazy sodas and root beer that my stomach wouldn’t dare let me try. I walked out with a few items and gifts for friends. Can’t wait to return

Great shop! You can find your favorite candies back when you were a kid to a great gift with all the classics. Stop in anytime or even better for a holiday gift because this store will have it all!

Great place to get flavored insects!

Great little candy shop in old part of Carrollton. Luckily for me, they also have some sodas mostly toward the back of the store. Both in room temperature bottles and 2 cases of refrigerated sodas. Although they didnt have nearly as many sodas as the Houston pop store i go to, i was still able to find 13 root beers they carried, which I haven’t tried yet. Make sure to get at least 6 or 12, if u drink a lot and want a 10% discount. At 2.49 each, these little puppies add up quickly.

This is my pre– Babes ritual. I put our name on the list at Babes and walk over to Blooms to explore and pass the time. I love this place.
They have old vintage and new out if the ordinary candy, video game collectibles, metal lunch boxes, funny and inappropriate novelty items (my fav), and all kinds of crazy or hard to find sodas and candy. If its still being made they can order it for you.
This place gets the big fat NOSTALGIC stamp!
They recently moved right next door from their previous location and the new space is great. Lots if room to move around.
The only reason I left off one star is because while I expect to pay more for hard to find and unique items, I don’t like that the everyday candy is so marked up. No biggie. Still love it!

Blooms Candy & Soda Pop Shop is one of the best places on the Carrollton Square! I’m such a sweet tooth girl and I always find something cool and unique here, like every kind of candy and soda imaginable, or even gifts which hardly to find anywhere else! The massive selection of their sodas (like bacon and cookie dough soda? wow!) and root beers really sets then apart in my mind and trying one of every soda would probably take years. And I LOVE their specialty root beers the most! LOVE LOVE LOVE!
The staffs were awesome and so friendly! The atmosphere is awesome and probably one of its best features. It is very clean inside. Full and decorated with candies!
Don’t forget to check this place out! Go and fill up on delicious sugary treats!

A cool store in the historic Carrollton square! It manages to keep the old feel of the Square while being full of the vibrant spirit of a boutique shop! The staff is friendly, and the selection is pretty diverse.

Are you nostalgic of your childhood and miss some of the candy you enjoyed as a child than look no further than Blooms! This place is fantastic, and the candy is always fresh. They also sell cute novely pop culture gifts spanning from the 1970s to now. The staff is very friendly, and each time I visit it’s like I walk back into time.
The taffy is delicious, and the flavors are very flavorful. I enjoy the rootbeer float, peppermint, and cotton candy flavor. Prices are reasonble, and they have a wide selection of sodas from around the world. A great place to bring kids into an authentic candy shop.

This place should be Veruca Salt and Augustus Gloop approved.
I am waiting for the oompa loompas to roll out and re-​stock the various root beer, cream soda, ginger ale and taffy.
Awesome place!
Use the Unilocal check in and maybe get a golden ticket (discount).

Use Scoutmob to get 50% off (max of $ 8 discount). Unfortunately you can not combine this with the 10% off 6 pack soda.
Good selection of tin lunchboxes, candies, random goodies and sodas. Make sure you check the expiration though, a few of the sodas expired back in June 2013.
I’ve tried the following sodas from Blooms (‘+’ means it’s a favorite):
–Virgil’s Root Beer ²⁄₅
–Lester’s Fixins Sweet Corn Soda 3.5÷5
–Henry Weinhard’s Root Beer ³⁄₅
+Americana Orange Cream ⁴⁄₅
–Fentimans Curiosity Cola ³⁄₅
–AJ Stephans Jamaican Style Ginger Beer ³⁄₅
+Boylan Crème ⁴⁄₅
–Zuberfizz Key Lime Cream Soda ³⁄₅
–Capt’n Eli’s Blueberry Pop ²⁄₅
–MacFuddy Pepper Elixir ³⁄₅
–Jolt Cola ³⁄₅
–Melba’s Fixins Peachs & Cream Soda ¹⁄₅

This is a great little find in old downtown Carrollton. If you get a chance to stop by here, please do!
They have just about every nostalgic candy or soda you could ask for, in addition to newer and wonderful sodas and a great selection of root beers.
This is a small shop, but they pack it full with a dazzling display of colors and imagination. It’s hard not to feel happy when you walk in and go a little crazy with the purchasing! But it’s OK, because it’s all fantastic.
The owners and staff are super nice too and are happy to talk local with you if they’re not too busy. I enjoy coming here, which says a lot.
Grab a couple cold bottles from the cooler and sit in the Adirondack chairs on the sidewalk and people watch. It’s a great little half hour to take things a little more slowly and enjoy something for a bit.

Wow, this place has it all: the nostalgic old-​timey candy, the upscale chocolate bars (with $$ prices to match), but perhaps the biggest draw, the huge array of pop in bottles (which reminds me of a store way back when in Oak Cliff that sold nothing but pop in glass bottles and cigarettes).
I was quite surprised to see all the varieties they carried. I am from Michigan and they had hometown brands Vernors, Faygo, and even Towne Club (which you used to get at a «pop center» store and fill up a crate with your glass bottles!) I bought a Vernors and went out on the porch to drink it, and a woman walked by and said, «Oh, Vernors! I grew up in Michigan…» Crazy stuff.
This would be a great place to frequent if I was a local; alas, I am only passing through. If you live nearby, stop by Blooms, crack open a cold Dublin Dr Pepper and enjoy!

What a great little store — we always take our friends here to show off carrollton. Its always busy and open late. If you haven’t been in a while, they have increased the soda selection recently.
Its hard to describe their selection. Its an eclectic mix of bizare and imported candy and sodas along with a healthy dose of pop culture.
So that it shows up in a few searches, here are some of the things I was surprised to see:
Coffee Crisp, Cheerwine, metal lunch boxes (hundreds), every kind of root beer and other bizarre sodas, Dr. Who things of all types, Bacon flavored everything, magnets, etc
Worth a stop in. You won’t be sorry.

Maple & bacon flavoured taffy! And it actually tastes good! Some of the fruity ones taste more artificially flavoured than I’d like (e.g. watermelon), but this place is worth checking out, because it feels like stepping into a gourmet, old-​school Halloween candy party. Add in the backdrop of red brick buildings in this historical block of downtown Carrollton, and you really feel like you’re going back in time.
The soda-​flavoured jelly beans are also fun. They even carry green tea flavoured Kit Kat bars from Asia, how awesome/​random is that?! I didn’t know such a flavour existed, even H-​Mart doesn’t have it. This is also a good spot for small, hard-​to-​find personal or gag gifts, especially if you have friends who are into bacon, Edgar Allan Poe, Doctor Who, or Harry Potter.

This place is what a candy shop should be like. A place filled with interesting sweets that are made locally and some that are flown in from abroad. This is the perfect place to go if you’re looking for old-​fasioned candy.
I really enjoyed perusing through the many bottles of pop that were flavored from the norm like root beer to chicken wings.
Even if you’re not a fan of sweets, you should stop by for their novelty items. They have a really cool laser keychain. :D
