This place is so cool! They have so many kinds of chocolate - like crazy stuff you don't find anywhere else. Along with other items. Definitely a fun place to visit and good for buying unique gifts.

Super nice lady working there helped us with all of our nostalgic needs and wants ...She was so helpful,Once I told her I'd need some sugar free options ,she did not disappoint!!! that's the day I realized that sugar free red vines were my new favorite! But my daughter had a blast trying new candy that day .I couldn't believe they had stuff from my childhood.I'm 46 ,and I was literally a kid in a candy store ..love this place ! You have to check it out .You will not leave empty handed

Stopped in for the first time because they had $1 root beer floats...my son loves them & cheerfully came along with me & my husband. They also have some great ice cream flavors that I would like to try. Their candy selection is second to none but I was drawn to their huge selection of bottled soda pops with sugar (no HFCS here). My husband bought me Vintage Lip Licking lip balm-watermelon flavor (pricey at $5.95) but it took me back to my teen years when I was never without it! I'm going back soon to get some ice cream.

This is one of the only candy restaurants like this in Middletown. It was fun to go to and had a lot of other things in it. The only thing is that it had an odd smell in there . Maybe it was just the day that I went but it was something else

Candy, candy, and more candy! Oh the nostalgia! If you want all the old school candy and soda your heart can desire, this is the store for you. This is a fun store with all the old school vibes. You name about any candy and I'm sure it is there. They even have ice cream for cups and cones. My little heart smiled when I walked in and saw all of the candy I grew up on. They even have what is called Grandpa Joe's $5 Candy Buffet. I surely participated in this! It's where you get a box and fill it up with all the candy that can fit from a certain section in the store and it's $5. The only rule is the lid must close. Man oh man, my lid closed, but barely! Lol! It was fun and even more interesting to see how much candy I could stuff in this box. Definitely, go by Grandpa Joe's and experience all the nostalgic vibes!

I would LOVE to give no stars. I have been trying to get a Christmas tree milkshake for a long time! I went in once they were out of milk the last four or five times the same gentleman told me I can't have one due to the milkshake machine being sanitized. He told me if I come more than 15 minutes before closing I can have one. Today I showed up 35 minutes before closing and got told he already sanitized the milkshake machine meanwhile the family of four before us had ice cream and milkshakes.
