Glen Ellyn Sweet Shoppe

I haven’t been here in years but I remember coming here 20 years ago when I was a kid. I loved the wide selection of candy, and the sweets they had for quarter or less, I wonder if they still have those. I give five stars just for the memories. I’ll probably be stopping by in the next week or so just to see what it’s like now.

The young employee, who resembled Ed Sheeran, was ridiculously rude upon my entrance. He was «busy» doing something on his laptop and was listening to some sort of sporting event loudly and never interrupted himself to greet me or offer assistance. I needed $ 3000.00 worth of chocolate for a large corporate event, and decided to look elsewhere after I received NO service. I do not recommend bringing children there, especially if that employee is working. Cheer up, it’s a candy store!

Been living in town for over 10 years, never saw a reason to go into the Sweet Shoppe and to be honest, from the outside, I had pre-​judged the inside!
I went into the Sweet Shoppe as a recommendation from a friend, the purpose was to set up a «chocolate bar» for my 40^th birthday party! That chocolate bar STILL has people talking months later! I couldn’t decide what to do for a parting favor, this was the perfect and I mean perfect «sweet ending» for my guests!
I had some idea of what I wanted but Sue rocked it into better than what I could’ve imagined! She had great suggestions and we were able to coordinate the bar to my party colors and add different heights and sizes of glass jars to add interest! In the end, it was a piece of art! It was the best white chocolate I’ve ever had, chocolate from my childhood, my current favs! All my guests wanted to know if I picked everything and yes, I did (even though I had a little help from Sue and she was able to special order items and make expert recommendations)! I had green watermelon flavored rock candy! My colors were green, black and white and each guest had a clear acrylic take home container which helped to show off their colorful assortment with a beautiful tag saying «thank you» which the Sweet Shoppe had put together!
The ordered amt of chocolate for my guests was estimated based on container size. I thought I’d have extra to send to those unable to attend but it was quite an accurate order!
The chocolate bar came with 2 attendants for the evening and I loved that they prepackaged some containers for those guests that just wanted to go and they were so good to help my elderly guests fill their containers! I received so many «thank you“‘s from my guests who came home with candy for their kiddos, sitters or their breakfast the next day!
The triple-​dipped malt balls were loved by all! Will be «a lifer»!

I took my little guys here but was surprised they were selling candy cigarettes. Unfortunately I won’t be returning because I don’t think it is funny or cute to see kids pretending to be cool and smoke, one thing leads to another…

Cute little shop. An average amount of choices, though nothing that piqued my interested and we didn’t end up purchasing anything.

It’s a cute little shop right across the street from the train station. Unfortunately the prices are a bit steep and their selection is limited. You can get the same stuff at a mall candy store for about the same price with twice the selection.

A collection of various candies, some of them a little fancier (Ghirardelli squares) and some old-​timey (Mary Janes, Chic-​O-​Stick) but mostly aimed at the kiddies (kits, Tootsie Roll Midgees, Now and Later, etc.). Good selection of Jelly Bellies at $ 7.50 a pound, which is a good price. Desultory service from someone who got off the internet long enough to ring me up.
