Editorial Review for The Candy Store – by Joanna Currier
In Short
Owners Diane and Brian Campbell are devotees of niche candy, from straight-up Mallow Cups to luxe V Chocolates filled with caramel, sea-salt and pretzels. Clark bars, Necco Wafers, Skybars, Zagnuts, Idaho Spuds, Valomilk and other candy bars fill one wall; behind the register, canisters of chewy, sour, sweet and sticky gourmet candy - more than 300 kinds - line shelves up to the high ceiling. Sampling is encouraged, and "golden ticket" gift certificates are available.

The Candy Store opened a week ago and I have been in there 4 times already! They carry old school candy from back east that I have never seen in SF - Zagnuts, Mallo Bars, Lik-M-Aid and more. Plus, they have the really cool candy necklaces and 1 lbs. jaw breakers! You have to check this place out!
Pros: Candy from your youth!
Cons: Hello - it is candy...Now I have to go to the gym again!
