Buffett's Candies

We went to the cannery location last week on 7th street and we were in Popcorn heaven! We picked up bags which included green apple, red chili, caramel with almonds, rainbow and a green chili mix. The lady welcomed us to the store and asked what brought us in. We mentioned that we were at the cannery location on 7th street and saw some of their candy displayed. The store is in a gated parking lot and clean. She gave us descriptions first of each candy and how they are made daily. Gave us a free sample. We spent a good hour in the shop and really enjoyed the offerings and made both popcorn and chocolate purchase between myself and my two adult kids. Thank you for the warm welcoming. min

This "little" spot is pretty big. I saw them on either Food Network or the Cooking Channel. They featured their piñon nut roll. They don't sell them individually anymore. You have to buy a candy pack to try them. The shopping area is kinda small but you can see everything they offer right up close. I bought a couple of pecan rolls, a white chocolate covered graham cracker, and a praline...Hard pass! The praline tasted nothing like one from Savannah or Charleston! It had like an aftertaste. That praline made me skeptical of eating anything else. The graham cracker was ok and I still haven't tried the pecan roll (a month later).

A true hidden gem in Albuquerque!! Love to see local candy stores still thriving in the city. Staff was incredibly friendly and helpful in helping me pick my gifts out. The chocolate was absolutely divine

It's been many years since i ventured into Buffet's. I was at the one on Central, or Menaul. The candy was very good, but a little expensive. I only wanted to try samples but ended up spending almost thirty dollars. Lots of temptations for everyone. Recommended to me is the popcorn with caramel and nuts. But now I'm cutting back so I will try the new location on Academy for gifts ! I want to see the Chocolate Factory!

Hello Albuquerque!When was the last time you went to Buffett's Candies? They have been around since 1956 as a local family-owned business. I have received Buffett's candy as a gift, and I have seen the giant candy cane that leans on the building on Lomas and Louisana. But, I'll be honest I had never been to the candy shop until last week, and I shopped there again today. Their candy is the best! Al, the confectioner who assisted me both times, is an extraordinary individual and one reason to return. Al greeted my sister and me with a big smile and happy greetings even though we walked into the establishment 5 minutes before closing on Friday. He was over the top helpful and genuinely friendly. I may not be back every week, but I will visit often. My favorite candy is the Zia, which has a few variations, dark chocolate, pinions, and caramel; yum! You don't have to wait for a special occasion, but their candy is exceptional!

This is a long time place in Albuquerque. They have candies made with local pinon which make for unique local taste. The staff is friendly and helpful. Prices are slightly higher than other candy places but worth the money.

This is a great spot for tradition American confections. What sets them apart from other similar shops is their focus on piñon chocolates/candies. They have many varieties of piñon with chocolate. I also really enjoyed their chocolate covered peanut butter squares. You can't miss the large candy cane out front! The service is friendly and attentive.

As soon as we stepped in the service was so nice.The chocolate was so good.Can't wait to come back.To the place

I was so disappointed in the new store off San Mateo. I've shopped at the old Lomas store for years and love the delicious candy. Everything is pre-made and individually wrapped. We bought four pieces for $20! That would be ok if the candy was really good. But our gila monsers (like a large turtle) were hard as rocks with little flavor. The show room feels cold and artificial; I don't smell any chocolate. We won't be going back to this location.

They were very generous with samples. The people were wonderful to deal with. I'm going back today. I was so happy with tdamn it.****
