Old Market Candy Shop

Careful! This place is super dangerous! Homemade goodies at a reasonable price. Fudge! Chocolate! Plus a huge amount of taffy, jelly beans and all sorts of yummy treats.
MMM MMM MMM.

This is a classic Omaha Old Market Staple, around for as long as I can remember! My favorite part is the wide select of black licorice, which as a licorice connoisseur I find it the perfect candy shop!

Cute little shop downtown that has been around for at least 20 years. We enjoy their in house chocolate as well as specialty candy items. On my most recent visit I picked up some salt water taffy which was wonderful. Prices are very reasonable for being a downtown spot. My daughter selected a larger sucker that was only $.35! A nice spot to stop into if you are in the area.

This place is a golden find. Was here a few years ago and tried a few pieces. Am now traveling back Omaha on a regular basis and stopped in early in the week to pick up a few pieces of chocolate. Oh so good. A few pieces were not enough. Went back for more. And now am getting ready to head home. Stopped in yesterday to load up for a few months. And picked up 2lbs of sugar free chocolate for a diabetic friend in DC. What a great assortment and tastes just like the real thing. I could not tell the difference. Give it a try and if you are going to get hooked on a habit, this’ a good one. Bravo all around.

Excellent candy shop in Omaha! They have all the vintage sweets that remind you of your childhood and make their own chocolate creations to indulge in. The one man behind the register (unfortunately didn’t catch his name) was like Willy Wonka who would constantly offer samples to each person who entered the store. Everything looked amazing but we decided on chocolate covered orange peels, malt balls, and chocolate covered cherries. They were all delicious!

The Old Market Candy Shop has been around for as long as I can remember. And I hope it sticks around forever. Not only is a staple of the Old Market experience, but a key to their ongoing success is that they serve up locally made sweet treats and more right there inside the cozy little shop.
If you ever need a spot to grab a unique gift, head here. The employees are friendly and helpful (who wouldn’t love working at a candy shop?). Plus they make the chocolate goodies right there in house. One small gift box will run between $ 5-​$ 6. So you can literally buy happiness for like $ 6!
They also have classic novelty candy like gummy rats, candy cigarettes, etc.
A slice a nostalgia combined with a few pieces of Omaha-​made choco-​goodness equasl the Old Market Candy Shop. Perfect for nearly any occasion!

While walking through the old market with my fiancé, I mentioned how I frequented the cute little candy shop quite often in my high school days. You can imagine my shock when he told me he had never been there! I knew we had to make a pit stop.
Upon entering the busy shop, we were promptly greeted by the employees. We browsed through nostalgic sweets like candy cigarettes, wax bottles, giant lollipops, etc. I was very excited to see they still make the chocolate covered gummy bears I enjoyed years ago.
We drooled over the wide variety of fudge and chocolate covered goodies in the display cases. This is when I convinced my fiancé to buy some chocolate covered cherries and bing mashes (he thanked me later). The employees were super helpful and very friendly, you can definitely tell this is a family owned business.
If you love nostalgic candies, reasonably priced homemade chocolate treats, and great customer service; make sure to check out this little gem of a candy store.

Never heard of this place till today when we happened to park right in front of it. For such a small place they have some awesome candy. Stuff I haven’t seen since I was a kid. They have a lot of choices of chocolate covered goodies also. Prices are perfect for what you get. The ladies working were very polite and even greeted us when we came in even though they were busy. Will be checking it out again soon.

I felt like a fat k… i…d… in a can… wait a minute. I was a fat kid in a candy shop. My daughter and I went in and had fun. It was nice and had a retro feel for it that was lost on my daughter but we had fun just as well and of course, got candy. The staff was friendly and the place was hopping since it was on a Saturday evening. Overall, if you are counting calories… yeah, right.

I grew up in the area and while visiting this week with my kids, I took them to the Old Market to see what I had always told them about. My daughter loved the selection and chose a few things for our road trip home — her favorite were the chocolate rocks. The Old Market Candy Shop is very nostalgic! The prices were extremely reasonable, much more so than similar candy shops in other cities we have visited. We loved the lemon drops, chocolate walnut fudge and dark chocolate peanut clusters. Though the shop is small, it’s packed with delicious, sugary treats! Definitely worth stopping in!

Wonderful old school candy shop. We bought cashew and walnut patties and sea salt and caramel fudge. It was mouthwateringly delicious. My husband loved the nuts and caramel dipped in chocolate. The staff is friendly and helpful. It was packed with customers but service was still quick and efficient. The prices were very reasonable. We will definitely be back.

I’ve heard raves about their mud balls, so I knew I had to give this Old Market candy shop a try.
The shop isn’t big, that’s part of its charm, but don’t let looks fool you. The space is intimate, but it’s packed with all kinds of sugary delights: truffles, fudge, taffy and more.
I ordered two mud balls and a peanut butter s’mores treat. The mud balls were akin to cake balls — dense, moist and delicious. The peanut butter s’mores bar didn’t knock my socks off, but it was an alright treat and what I expected. At $ 2.40 for three pieces, this place is very reasonable.
The service was friendly, the ambience cozy. I’ll return when my sweet tooth hits (which is more often that I like!).

The selection of jelly bellys is AMAZING!!! And they do a marshmallow dipped in caramel covered in chocolate that is a must get every time I’m in town.

Dieters BEWARE! This place is so freaking awesome.
This adorable little candy shop is tucked into the corner of the old market and feels like something out of Harry Potter or a 1950’s photo. It’s very tiny and during peak hours gets a little cramped. Like all old market shops parking is an issue but if you ride the bus they drop you off close by.
I appreciate all the selections they offer, even if they’re evil to my waist line. You can find old favorites like candy cigarettes, sour candies, salt water taffy, jelly beans and more. Alternatively you can try their sinful fudge, take my advice and only get a little or I promise you it’ll be gone before the day is done.
One of my favorites is the chocolate almond treats or the walnut fudge.
It is a little pricey but it is an experience and you’ll enjoy watching your child’s eyes light up when they visit this place. Did I mention my waistline? HaHa

The chocolate covered orange peels are absolutely amazing! We literally make a trip to the old market just so I can pick up some! Everything at the Old Market Candy Shop is delicious and I love that you can watch them make it fresh right in the store. You know that what you are getting is freshly made and hasn’t been sitting behind the counter for days. The service is always quick and helpful too. A great place to stop for a sweet treat!

I don’t have a lot to say about Old Market Candy other than it was a great candy store in Omaha. We actually stopped by a few times because I became obsessed with the chocolate that was shaped like Nebraska. I am pretty sure that Nebraska is the perfect state shape for chocolate. Every time we walked in we were always greeted by the smiling staff who was always willing to help us find the perfect treat. You should definitely check out Old Market Candy the next time you are in Omaha.

Oh man. I think anyone who knows me knows that I am a sucker for a candy shop and the Old Market is no exception. They do have a smaller selection of pre-​packaged candies (jawbreakers, jellies, etc.), but where they really shine is the homemade chocolates. Everything from truffles to «chicken legs» which are pretzels rolled in caramel, covered in nuts, and dipped in chocolate. I’ll take two please.
Prices are reasonable and the workers are friendly. Why wouldn’t I be a fan?

A blast from the past! They do not make candy shops like this anymore.
They have a very helpful lady behind the counter that is knowledgable and provides wonderful service. The interior is the candy shop of many years ago! Excellent candy crafted by them in their cases at great price points.

A walk back in time! Once inside this small cute candy store, you find that candy from your younger childhood days, like red hot tamales, pixie sticks and slow cows. They have collectible boxed sets and big suckers on a stick like I used to get at six flags every summer.
Towards the back of the store is an old soda fountain with ice cream and then a museum of sorts with wall art and posters. We even found some sugar free jelly belly assortment boxes, for under $ 4, not bad!

I’m almost ashamed that I’ve never been here until my out of town guests referred me… Especially since this place has been in business since 1977.
Homemade fudge, classic candy (wax lips, giant jawbreakers, candy cigarettes) and a great selection of gourmet items like marzipan, chocolate cherries, chocolate covered orange peel, Bonbons, etc. Highly recommended, cute little shop with friendly staff.
