Great place and a huge fan of the photo section. I appreciate it greatly whenever I come to visit and the owner allows me to hold the cameras. He also takes time to talk about the history and help me out on any questions I have. Great service.

The chocolate is great but not crazy about the owners. We came in with our two little boys and like most little boys they were very impressed with all the toys. They picked quite a few up to show us. The owners seemed very annoyed and watched them like hawk the ENTIRE time. I felt extremely uncomfortable and insulted. They stared at them like they were thiefs. Will NOTEVER go back.

After having to witness the owner threaten and yell at a young customer over some kind of dispute I was just hoping my child would pick something so we could go. Sounded like it was over a price of a camera… although all I could hear was the owner and never head anyone else say anything. The owner threatened and came around the counter. The two very young customers left with their heads down and I never heard them say one word. Having the owner start bashing the other customer to me after they leave… unbelievable. As an adult I would hope other adults — especially owners of their own establishment — would know how to behave. Apparently not. Blaming others for your behavior is something my 12 year old does. It is not worn well on an adult, so stop excusing your bad behavior on other people. Especially customers. And if you plan on verbally spewing your defenses to the other customers you should not get offended and run to the back like a baby. I had to explain to my 10 year old why she had to be ushered away from the outbreak and later explain why someone would behave that way and yell at someone in a store like that. I have never seen this level of unprofessionalism in a freakin’ toy store before and I sure I hope I never do again.

What a fun local favorite! Candy, treats(like fresh fudge), legit board games(you know the kind geeks like), comic books and figures, toys for kids and let’s not forget the infamous frozen lemonade sold during the summer. You could get stuck in here for awhile… Great staff and atmosphere. Parking can be a bear since its on the square.

Quite the extensive assortment of truffles and treats! There’s soooooooo many different kinds of truffles we couldn’t decide so we just bought a sample box. But the real reason we went there was to check out the table top games. The owner is incredibly knowledgeable about games and he can recommend something for everyone. You can purchase the games for less expensive online, but it’s definitely worth the trip there to chat with the owner about all the games!

where to even start?! The selection is mind-boggling! The shine on the truffles… well, I’m just glad I’m almost always wearing my shades. The fudge is an Experience — pop a bite in your mouth, close your eyes, and just enjoy. The toys — so many, many toys — old classics, new interesting fun stuff! Family owned and operated, these people love what they’re doing and it so very much shows! I love taking new people to Goodies — nobody ever leaves empty handed.

Having lived on the East Coast for years, it was awesome to walk in and hear the owner’s Rhode Island accent, among a sea of Texan accents. Worth the return trip, just for that. He was super chatty and friendly with us, and even remembered my brother’s name(he’s a semi-regular visitor). Like that personal touch! It’s a quirky concept here – candy, old school toys, and camera stuff. But, it works. Came here about a month ago. They make their own chocolate here, and have a number of options. I tried the milk chocolate toffee, the dark chocolate peppermint patties, and the milk chocolate almond bark. All dope. Definitely worth a return trip here.

***Goodies Texas looks the part and is a perfect fit for its surroundings(McKinney’s quaint, nostalgic and small town-esque square), but I felt their chocolate truffles were not as good as other great chocolatiers I have tried across the country*** Goodies Texas is a nice looking and local chocolates shop in Downtown McKinney. Downtown McKinney has a quaint, small town square feel and Goodies is the perfect fit for it. Goodies features lots of chocolates by the piece as well as a variety of packaged candy, treats and toys for kids. I tried a few of their chocolate truffles and they were decent. What was most impressive was their variety of flavors. They had a lot of standard flavors like caramel and dark chocolate, but they also had more interesting truffles like peanut butter and jelly, Irish cream, caramel apple, Jack Daniel’s, and so on. Unfortunately, I did not love the truffles here. The fillings were fine and sweet but did not explode with an intense and distinct flavor like you get with chocolate truffles at top chocolatiers such as Kollar Chocolates in Yountville, California and Christopher Elbow in Kansas City. In addition, I found the outer chocolate shell a tad dusty like it had been sitting around too long. They did not have that good color of excellent dark chocolate. The flavor was pleasing, but it did not really taste and melt like high quality chocolate. Service was quick and very friendly. Prices for their chocolates are a tad high. Goodies Texas has a nice look that is cluttered but very charming. Sometimes, you can find great chocolatiers in small towns like McKinney, but I felt this one fell a little short. They had a variety of chocolates beyond truffles though so maybe some of their other selections like their turtles provide a more enjoyable and memorable chocolate experience. Free street parking is available.

This is such a COOL store front. They have such a variety of chocolate and sweets. They have some excellent little gifts for kids such as a huge Peez dispenser or old fashion candy. They carry board games and exceptional truffles. They managers and employees have always been helpful and friendly. The dark chocolate sea salt caramel is to die for :)

I like this store for not only the toys(which are mostly wholesome role-play, traditional) but also the nostalgic treats and the fun and whimsical items such as Star Trek coffee mugs. The prices are very good for the toys and just ever-so-slightly elevated for some of the treats. But that is very much in line with hard to find old-timey candy. I love to stop in here and browse and never feel badly if I just look and do not buy but I did end up getting all of my Grandkids gifts here as they had everything I needed — even the esoteric items that I would have to search online to purchase.

My wife and I stopped here a couple of times and I think this shop is an excellent compliment to the square. For one with the sweet tooth and an appreciation for chocolate, this is the place.

I can’t believe Goodies hasn’t been reviewed yet! This is the only place I know of in the area that makes fresh chocolate candy. The owners moved down here from somewhere up north(Rhode Island?) where they had a thriving chocolate shop and opened up Goodies. They make their chocolates there on-site so it’s guaranteed to be fresh. They also make fudge and assorted other delicious treats and they have a lot of packaged old-time candies. Everything I’ve had from them has been great. The shop is also full of games and toys, puppet and puzzles. This is a great old-fashioned style candy & toy store. Love it! Love it! Love it!
