Nama’s Candy Store

This place is really cute! A bit expensive but it’s a small business which I will gladly support. Very sweet customer service. I tried the peppermint white chocolate Oreo, a caramel candy, a coconut candy, and the ‘Seafoam’. The Oreo was really good, it was $ 1 but it was a nice little treat. The caramel and coconut candies were good, nothing to complain about. I wasn’t a fan of the Seafoam candy. I expected it to taste like a candy I can’t find in the states (it’s called crunchie) when he explained it but it wasn’t very good, not very sweet but a good size. I spent $ 4 and some change on the 4 treats. It was a good experience and I would go back, but I probably wouldn’t get the Seafoam.

Such a cool candy store. Lots of variety no matter what kind of candy you like. We have made two trips here today! Very friendly, helpful staff and affordable prices. If you are in the area it is worth a stop.

Never before have I seen a big bag of saltwater taffy for $ 2. Ever.
However, there are other bags of candy you will find in your local supermarket for less $
Just make your purchase wisely and you won’t regret it!

This store is an absolute delight. Fresh chocolate truffles and other handmade chocolates. Candy bars and fun candy treats you haven’t seen for ages. Gummy bears and sour patch treats galore. And always a wonderful window display.

A great local treat, literally! Huge selection, from gummy everything to fancy chocolates. Employees are friendly and helpful, prices are reasonable.

This store is so adorable!
I used to come here fairly regularly years ago when I worked in downtown Edmonds, and I can’t believe I’ve neglected visiting this cute store the last few years.
I came here today to see how much it would be to order some white chocolate covered gummy bears for my upcoming nuptials. I totally expected that it would be expensive and would cost more than the great shopping god of amazon. But I was pleasantly surprised. He offered me a deal I couldn’t refuse, and I get to purchase from a local business. Win win!
I frequently walk by this store when it’s closed and it always has an adorable window display. It always is extra festive, and always has me looking forward to whatever upcoming holiday there is.
If you’re looking for a traditional candy shop, this is the place and then some.

I love this store and take my daughter there about once a week. It fits in perfectly with Edmonds’ «Norman Rockwell» image. The proprietor is pleasant and friendly and the place gives you a warm fuzzy feeling. As much a candy museum as a confectionary, you can find everything from wax lips to Aba Zaba bars here. It’s stores like this that make me proud of my community.

I went to Nama’s after taking my daughter to ballet class. What a great candy store! It is bright, clean, and fun to look through. My daughter was thrilled to look through all the displays and pick out a selection for herself.
I purchased a variety of chocolates from the glass case, and the young lady behind the counter was very helpful and knowledgeable. She even helped point me to treats that I could purchase for my older daughter who has allergic reactions to peanuts, and cupcakes for my wife who is allergic to glutens.
While the prices are a bit high for the really good stuff, I decided to splurge! If you want to enjoy shopping in a candy store, go to Nama’s!

Nama’s is the candy store that you dreamed about when you were a kid. You can find nearly everything there — even the candy bars and odds and ends you didn’t think were made anymore! It’s a little on the pricey side, but it more than makes up for it with its outstanding variety and selection. And they added a touch of serious class with the selections inside the glass counter. If you’ve got a sweet tooth, don’t miss Nama’s!

I took my daughter here specifically for the Frosted cupcakes and found a nice local candy shop which sells some really delicious cupcakes… on Thursday and Friday. It’s nicely set up, most of the candy is packaged in two sizes, the small one is about a handfull and the bigger one is about two hands cupped… umm…handfull. I think if you want more, or less than what is packaged, you just have to ask. There is a jar full of each candy lying in wait just behind all the pre-​packaged ones on each shelf. The chocolate display has some delicious looking, and tasting, treats.
We walked in and my daughter looked around, her eyes lit up and she got a huge smile on her face and said «Woowwwww!». We had a candy store back in my hometown when I was growing up, and I felt like a kid too. It’s a nice little place worth the effort to visit. If you have little mini you’s, take them.period. There is nothing in this world like watching your kid’s face light up and listening to them squeal in true delight at the sight of all that candy! One thing to keep in mind, however… if you want your typical candy bar, not to be a jerk or anything, but… just stop at 7 – 11.
This is what other candy stores WANT to be.

I found this little shop located in downtown Edmonds while trying to get some chocolate for my grandfather-​in law. They are really neatly decorated. The man behind the counter was very pleasant and helped me find the best chocolates for the occasion (no fruit and an extra pound of just clusters and turtles)
They happen to have a bunch of different selections of candy. I saw the chocolate covered gummy bears and I just couldn’t pass them up as they are my favorite. The chocolate is a little expensive but worth it they are yuummmy.
While I was in I also purchased a coconut cupcake with coconut lime frosting and let me just say that it was delicious!
I will be coming back here for all of my chocolate needs. So much better than See’s Candy — but the downfall is they don’t have the fruit tarts or chocolate dipped strawberries likes See’s does. But if you are looking for gourmet chocolate this is a great place to try!

Yes they have those harder to find candy concoctions that typically exist in other times or countries, however, they don’t tend to carry the standard candies one might expect to see in their display — they are already pre-​packaged (in probably a ¼ to ½ lb bag or more). This completely annoys me as someone who likes to only purchase a couple of pieces of candy at a time and doesn’t always want a full candy bar — or even chocolate for that matter. If I wanted pre-​packaged candy I would have gone to the grocery store or the convenience store…
So, basically, what I am saying is this: If you want a couple pieces of candy that are not chocolate you are purchasing them pre-​packaged by the store… not from the display. Also — if you want those harder to find candy concoctions I was mentioning above — most of the candy bars are $ 2.00!
In agreeance with someone else’s comment… I too have felt that the customer service is lacking. Sometimes it’s a younger woman and sometimes it has been an adult middle aged man. The younger woman (like EARLY twenties) definitely seemed preoccupied and as if she really didn’t want to be at work that day. She could have at least faked a smile.

Great selection of handmade as well as vintage candy. Perfect for picking up one chocolate covered cherry, or a box of handpicked truffles. Bulk imported licorice and other candies.
AND just started to carry cupcakes by Frosted… Mmmm.

Maybe I’m just not used to candy shops, but this one is the cutest! It was beautifully decorated for Valentine’s day and there were tons of «V-​Day Themed» candies, gifts, lollipops and stuffed animals. I perused the very organized shelves full of tightly wrapped candy and found my favorite, Chocolate Covered Gummi Bears. They also had Yogurt-​covered Pretzels with a little bit of red-​peppermint drizzle – also another favorite with a V-​Day twist!
The owner (I wish I had gotten his name) was SUPER sweet, friendly, not-​pushy and was so thankful that my coworkers and I came in. He actually gave us a free box of chocolates!
I had suggested to him that they sell WHITE-​Chocolate covered Gummi Bears and he said he’d look into that. :-)
I would visit Edmonds just to come here!

It’s not bad. They have a great selection of all kinds of stuff — chocolates, old-​school candies, new school candies, etc. However beware, they aren’t cheap. Also, service can sometimes be a bit awkward or even un-​positive. All in all it’s a nice option to have in the center of Edmonds. I’d much rather have it in Edmonds than not have it.
Check it out. There aren’t many small, independent candy stores around these days anymore.

Thank goodness Nama’s is just around the corner from my own shop in Edmonds! I try to drop in to visit Pat and restock my dark chocolate supply every week before the withdrawal symptoms become too bad. Everyone who works here is always in a great mood (and who wouldn’t be surrounded by all the best life has to offer?) which lifts your spirits just walking in the door.
The selection of fresh handmade chocolates and truffles is superb. My personal favorites are their range of various «turtles» which include pecan, cashew and peanut. If you’re a fan of the dark side, be sure to get one of their espresso truffles as well.
Plus, Pat keeps a tremendous variety of vintage candies and other favorites. It’s fun just to poke around the shelves and see what’s on offer. You can pick up a small pre-​weighed bag of sour-​patch kids or espresso malt balls just perfect for a movie date. If I cared for licorice this would definately be the place to come — I never knew this many varieties existed before looking over Pat’s special shelf!
Be sure to stop in for refreshment of pure childhood joy in life if you’re having a mentally cloudy day.

Coolest store around. They have all the candy you’d expect PLUS lots of old fashioned goodies, too. Recently, they started selling cupcakes from a fantastic local chef. The owner is really nice and it’s a nice place to spend a few bucks.

I’ve had better sea salt caramels. The artisan chocolates were slightly lacking in originality and not much stood out to me. The variety in candy however was a whole other story. There is a lot going on in this shop. If there’s random candy you’re looking for from your childhood, you’re sure to find it here… that is if you’re into the really bad cheap candy.

WOW! What a nice selection of RETRO candy!
Well, I finally made the trip to visit this place after reading the Unilocal reviews. I must admit it is always nice see a family/​Ma and Pop shop in Edmonds that understands what customer service is and serves it up with a smile!
The selection of RETRO candy was really a treat to see, some of the stuff I haven’t seen in years, Clark bars, Zots, Ice Cubes, Smarties to name a few. And can anyone tell me what a «Skyway» bar is? Made by Necco, the same makers of those little pink boxes of Valentines heart candies, you know the ones with the little messages on them and can crack a tooth if you aren’t careful. Ahhh… good memories…
The Retro candy prices were good, I mean for stuff you can only find on the Internet the prices seemed fair. The packaged «bulk» candy seemed a bit pricey but I will say the product was very fresh tasting.
While this store isn’t on the same scale of Willy Wonka, but who is, it’s a great treat to find this little gem in the middle of Edmonds.
Oh, and as another Unilocal’er mentioned, the «wall» of licorice is not to be missed!

I went into this candy shop while wandering aimlessly around the downtown Edmonds area. I was instantly attracted not just by the promise of delicious sugar, but the explosion of colors that met my eye when walking in. I now make weekly ventures to this store to obtain treats for myself, and co-​workers.
Then there was an entire wall of wrapped goodies and assorted lovelies. You can purchase by the pound or half pound (and I’m sure they’d be happy to weigh different amounts out for you).
Additionally, there was an entire case of delicious truffles and chocolates.
The pricing is excellent considering it is an independent candy store. You can walk into a mall store and pay twice what they are asking. They have a huge variety of hard to find items, retro candies, classic favorites and unique treats I’ve never seen. All priced nicely.
And you can’t beat multiple flavors of moon pies!
