The Gnome’s Nook Confectioners

Just got word this placed closed. So sad. It was pretty amazing.

This place is magical! Take your kids to visit at least once!
My two year-​old and I attended a birthday party here recently and I found the place enchanting! They closed the establishment for the private party and took care of every detail: Activities and stories for the kids, snacks and birthday cakes, and even party favors for the kids! There are unique confectionary/​candy items available for purchase, but my fave thing about the place is the outdoor area that transports you to a magical land where lights twinkle in a forest and gnomes peek around every corner, many only noticed if you look for them.
I only wish the outdoor area were larger with candy stashes to find — in nooks with gnomes (for purchase, of course).

This place is fantastic. Great selection. If you can’t find what you’re looking for here, I would be surprised. And, the customer service is friendly and very helpful.

Place is such fun! Definitely bring ur kids. Perfect place to get chocolates or that special candy that makes ur unicorn sparkle.

I have taken my daughter to a couple of the children’s movie nights, and am amazed every time we step through the door. This place is truly magical! We recently threw a birthday party here as well, and I was floored by the effort and attention to detail that they put into the celebration. We were greeted with a beautiful sidewalk chalk welcome, they had Gnome themed activities lined up to keep all of the children thoroughly entertained, customized party favors and a fabulous birthday cake. I can’t imagine anything better!

A Wonderfully Weird World Filled With Gnomes and Candy!
I adopted my first Gnome!!! That’s what the nice lady calls it instead of buying them you are adopting them. I have always wanted one. It is a little crazy being in here, but I think you have to be a little crazy to want to be here! LOL! Walking down Gaylord Street this place sticks out like a gnome without a beard or pointy hat: D Among trendy eateries and quaint shops you can find this fanciful shop where reality seems to not exist. You walk in and you are transported into the land of the gnome. There are logs with moss hiding the little creatures and trees inside the shop and magical landscapes painted on the walls. Candies are displayed, old candy shoppe style, in glass jars. The first floor is mostly candies with some gnomes, but you can find more gnomes for sale on the second floor. This is where serious gnome shoppers go. Honestly, I thought that the gnomes were reasonably priced, but then again I do love them. So, I’m biased! LOL! I did buy one BTW. It is a cute welcome gnome sitting in the entrance of my home :) If you love gnomes or just the weird/​interesting/​magical then you have to stop in. You won’t be disappointed at what you find!

A friend took me and my six year old here, and blew my mind that I hadn’t seen anything like it in Denver before that! This little quaint, charming and sophisticated artistic nook of gnome creativity and vintage candy enthusiasm really struck me for several reasons: a) awesome outdoor area, which is very large and cool, and would be a great party spot if they let you?! B) the upstairs has a party room that is so cute for kids and very promising in usefulness when looking for something out of the norm C) the selection of treat drinks and cool off delights like ice cream and shaved ices outside are awesome D) the walls are painted like an enchanted gnome forrest, and there are aspen trees inside. Can I say more? Too hard to describe, you just have to go there and see for yourself.

Best Chocolate Truffles In Denver!!!

I was very excited about a store dedicated to gnomes. I assumed it would be an artsy and creative store with a wide variety of interesting gnome-​type items. I was sad that this was more about the decorations than the actual items in the store, even though the decorations were lovely. It didn’t seem to carry any item you couldn’t find on
(nothing rare or unique or artistic). The person working there (possibly the owner) was very nice and very into his store — something great for kids but a little creepy for adults. The candy upstairs seemed a little odd and out of place. I don’t really think this place will survive as it hasn’t quite worked up an idea of what it is supposed to be. Perhaps tables and chairs and little confections and tea or a much clever collection of gnome items would be helpful. At this point, I don’t think I’d go back.

I have no idea exactly how my son (8) discovered that he wanted to catch gnomes at our house, but thankfully, the owner here is an expert on all things gnome and is more than willing to teach your child all about attracting these shy creatures to come live in your house. Even better, the store sells a large assortment of gnomes in all sizes and prices that are just perfect for helping move said child’s fanciful imagination along. I have never known of a store that specializes in gnomes, but I am glad that such a great one exists in Denver. Throw in some classic candies, and a marvelous staff to help with all of it, and I love this place.

This is a cool little shop with a decent selection of gnomes. Unfortunately it kind of feels like visiting someone’s personal gnome collection rather than a shop though. The people working there are incredibly friendly. The candy selection is very slim. A lot of gummies with some old fashioned candies here and there. I’d like to see a lot more candy selection and then I’d go back. There is a cool little hole in the floor with a ladder for the gnomes at the top of the steps you should check out. Neat little detail.

Sweet baby Jesus I love this store. In truth, it primarily consists of gnomes, candy and chocolate. Their inventory is not extensive, but it is sweet. Damn those gnomes make good candy! My husband and I had to check this place out after a friend bought us some gnome soap as a gift. At first I thought it might be gimmicky, but then I used the soap. It is organic, has a beautiful smell and just the right amount of lather. Oddly, something about the gnome’s little hat makes it ergonomic. Weird, I know.
So when you walk in, it’s like entering a little wonderland. The walls and floors are painted and have foliage hung all around. There is a tiny mushroom table and chairs and, of course, gnomes everywhere. The upstairs is where you will find the antique apothocary cabinets filled with candy – and more gnomes and such. There is a chocolate display next to the register that is not to be missed. I highly recommend the peanut butter meltaways and the chocolate covered caramels with sea salt.
If you are bringing children you should definitely check out the adjacent «park» area.

This is place is odd… in a good way. It’s an interesting little place on Gaylord where you can see gnome/​forest stuff and get some chocolates. The best and really only reason to really go here is if you’re in the area and have some kids. Otherwise, as adults, you can get candy elsewhere.
I went just with my wife and we liked the place. The staff and owner are all quirky and nice. Will def be back if we’re with kids.

I saw gnomes in the window and had to go in. This place is adorable — definitely an experience. They’ve put a lot of energy and thought into the gnome theme. The owner told me a little story about how the gnomes make the candy and they decorated the store so that the gnomes would like it and want to stay. There are trees painted on the walls, branches that make up the stairway railings, and fake trees. Of course, there are gnomes everywhere.
The downstairs has the «antique gnomes» and a case that displayed their selection of locally made chocolates (The Chocolate Therapist). The upstairs has an old display case filled with run-​of-​the-​mill candies that are distributed by the quarter-​pound. There are a lot of gnomes on this level (called «The Canopy») to consider, as well.
You can tell that they haven’t found their stride yet. The theme is cute, but really, people will buy more candy than gnomes — so they should probably concentrate on having more of a selection. Maybe have two cases filled with by the quarter-​pound candy and then a lot of boxed and wrapped candy that can be purchased. I like that they offer locally made chocolates — and that’s something that would bring me back.
Cute store with some promise in a neighborhood where it might thrive.

What a fun store to walk through everything is hand painted by some local artist. There are gnomes, candy, chocolates, books, cute booties and a few little tables and chairs for the kiddies. It is a feel good store. I just didn’t see much as far as confections that I was dying to buy. The gnomes are cute and I believe many are made around town.
This adorable store has potential. I will be checking it out here and there to see if there is more merchandise. I love candy and would love to be tempted to purchase some. However this time in was for a few smiles. I hope they are around for awhile.

Not exactly sure of this place yet. I thought it would be more like a candy store. It’s a little more like a GNOME experience, two floors on the inside and an outside area designed for the kiddies.
I wanted more candy. When I think candy shop I think Willy Wonka, so sue me.
The upstairs has most of the candy, I didn’t partake in any but it does have a variety of candy I haven’t seen in ages. They have some chocolate as well.
The woman working upstairs said they were transitioning for Valentines day. I may have to stop by again and see what Valentines day items they are offering.

This is the cutest little store I have ever seen. In fact I have never seen another store like this ever!
The layout of the store is made to look like a tree and a tree house! They carry a lot of Gnome nick-​nacks, cute little cloth shoes and gnome accessories. But the most important part of it all is the candy shop! Yuum! They carry all sorts of old fashion candy that you don’t see anywhere.
Super cute, great for kids or a adult that is a true kid at heart!

I’ve got to say I think the first review of this place was written by a friend of the owners. It sounds like exactly what I wanted when it was being built but reality doesn’t live up to the concept.
It’s a great idea and I love that I could go in there and buy soap in the shape of a gnome but there isn’t enough product in the store to make it last. The candy selection is limited even though they bill this as a confectioners. The gnome paraphernalia is great but they need a lot more of it.
I’m tempted to fake a better review because I want it to last and think its a great concept but there is a long way to go.

I had high hopes when I saw this being built. The owner told us there would be gnomes and candies and it was going to be amazing. I saw they finally opened their doors and had to head on in. I was a bit let down. There weren’t many gnomes and the candy selection is very limited.
The store and gnome masters are lovely and there is great potential to turn this into an enchanted forest. I hope how it is right now is just because they are new and that in the future they will expand the selection of candies and gnome décor.

Whimsical confection shop on S. Gaylord. Friendly, warm and welcoming proprietors/​gnome masters! Locally owned business just in time for the holidays. When you walk in you are transported into a magical, candy filled forest. A forest mural and trees complete your transformation into a new, sweet wonderland. The first level has assorted gnome themed items including one of a kind vintage items for the serious gnome collector. Cards, buttons and assorted candy fill the first floor. Check out the wonderfully decorated chocolate covered pretzels displayed under a glass cloche. The owner mentioned they make a nice holiday plate setting or just a one off treat.
Head upstairs to the gnome nook where there is a beautiful, antique candy armoire with candy the colors of the rainbow. Reasonably priced, (cheaper than the mall) and most importantly — enclosed behind the glass away from fingers! This is a huge plus for me and the extra sanitation steps are most appreciated. A Christmas tree with pick your own chocolate ornaments add to the whimsy. Definitely head down to the nook to satisfy your sweet tooth!
