Whimsical Candy

This candy place is in an odd location as you have to walk into a business center and find it in the basement, but anything special should be a little hard to find, don’t you think? When you walk past the store, you can see the candy being made through the wall of glass, which is always a treat. The store itself isn’t very large, but you’re here for a very particular type of candy, after all, not a grocery isle full of artificial crap.
I come here for the nougat. The lah dee dahs are fun. The candy bars are tasty. I love their caramels. Pretty much everything made here is delicious. But it’s the nougat I come for. The cherry chocolate and nutty european nougat is what I crave. Chewy, light, flavorful, and delicious. It’s a little pricey, but it’s handcrafted and delicious, so it’s totally worth it. The service is friendly and willing to help and have a chat about sugary things that make you smile. Go. Have a sweet adventure. You won’t be disappointed.

Sugar, yes, please! Such a fun and delightful shop filled with lots of treats for all the senses. The La-​Dee-​Dahs are divine. Perfect combination of sea salt, nougat, and dark chocolate. Totally worth spoiling your dinner for. Sure, you can spend your entire dinner budget for a handful of these goodies, but your mouth will thank you for it!

Only 6 reviews on Unilocal,and the shop has been opened for 2 years at this location? Doesn’t surprise me because how the heck does someone find out about this place!!! Talk about a hidden, ***HIDDEN*** gem. Chances are you probably won’t know about this shop unless someone tells you about it. In fact, if you were to ask me right now how to get to this shop, I couldn’t tell ya because I didn’t pay attention to where I was going and was busy chatting with my coworker as she was taking me here. :D
It’s pretty small with a tiny store on one side and an area adjacent to it specifically for making the candy/​chocolate in-​house. Very, very cute place! It has a fun décor as well.
As I’m browsing through the limited selections, I noticed how expensive everything was in there. I ended up buying a mint La-​Dee-​Dah for $ 2.50 and a prepackaged bag of 19 small dark chocolate hazelnut malt balls («Did she seriously just count the number of malt balls in that bag???» Yes… yes, I did.). Altogether, it came out to $ 6.28. Fortunately, they accept credit cards with no minimum purchase required. One nice thing about this place is that they give you a sample of one of their homemade candies when you visit. In this case, it was a caramel marshmallow, which was absolutely delicious.
As for the candy, I LOVE hazelnut flavors. The malt balls and La-​Dee-​Dah were good. The malt balls are actually a hazelnut that’s coated with dark chocolate. The La-​Dee-​Dah had a somewhat chewy texture. However, I hate to say that they weren’t mind-​blowing enough to justify the prices.
I would still recommend at least checking it out though… granted you know where to find it.

Great place for handcrafted candy… definitely a solid find that did not disappoint

I’M ADDICTED TO LA-​DEE-​DAHS! I seriously may need a support group. This is the best candy I’ve ever had in my life. Before trying one, I would have said a basic turtle was my favorite. This beats it by so much that I would trade a whole box of turtles for 1 La-​Dee-​Dah; maybe I would trade for even just 1 bite. The raspberry and salted caramel marshmallows are a bit messy and large (I have to cut them), but I can’t help but buy a package when I visit the shop. I’m trying passion fruit this time. The nifty nougat bar (I had nutty european) was just what I expected. The nuts added a great crunch, but I’m such a nougat fan that I wish they had plain nougat for sale. I will survive in hopes that this candy shop stays alive as long as I do.

The La-​Dee-​Dahs might be their signature, but I’m guessing the caramels are the money maker. I ordered one bag of their caramels and the salty and raspberry caramels are the best I’ve ever had. Soft, melt-​in-​your-​mouth goodness.

What a cool find! A friend and I spied their bright orange sign next to UB Dogs and decided to venture in. Down some stairs and through a cute decorated hallway with candy-​kitchen views, we entered a small shop with a very friendly owner. We tried samples of the la-​dee-​dahs (bought two, which are verrrry good) and browsed their unique candies. They has some specialty german chocolates and home-​made chocolates and marshmallows. Very fun and will be back.

Best whoopie pie ever. I could eat 10 of them.
