Peter Minges & Son Wholesale Confectionery

Great throwback candy store. You can buy items in bulk which is a great option if you are looking for party favors or to fill some holiday baskets.I bought a box of some local favorites: French Chews, Buckeyes and some Opera Creams.If your looking for a souvenir from Cincinnati to share with someone definitely stop in this candy shop! It was a neat step back in time as well!The staff was friendly and helpful.

It's a wonderful step back in time when you enter this candy store. It's a great place for candy buffets because lots of candy is sold by the color and the people who work there are so helpful. I love supporting local businesses and you can tell there is a lot of history in this little shop.

This is a great place to buy candy in bulk. It comes in handy for easter baskets and Christmas surprises. Candies are usually in 5lb bags so don't come here expecting to buy one of something. They do however have a counter of unwrapped chocolate candies they sell by the pound. You can get your Buckeyes here. I love the quaint old-timey feel of a bulk candy store. And they sell assortment bags ( handy for alleviating the guilt of hiding some of the Easter eggs a little too well).The staff is really helpful and the selection is HUGE!

Great place to go for bulk candy needs. We come here a lot to get candy for the whole office. They also have some individual candies you can get if you want a quick snack or something sweet. You can also buy lottery tickets too. Everyone is friendly and it's kind of fun going in there to check it out. I also like how old the building is. Makes it unique

One of the hidden treasures downtown! This candy store is simultaneously like stepping back into your childhood (CANDY CIGARETTES!) and steeping into your future (CHOCOLATE COVERED BRIDGE MIX!) and it's just glorious.This candy store has all those candies you thought had stopped being sold as well as your favorites in bulk. Sometimes you can even come across already a few peeps that have already been perfectly aged! Bring and appetite and check it out next time your over on the West side of Court Street!

Minges Candy is awesome. The staff is great, especially Leslie who I believe is the granddaughter of the founder. She knows EVERYTHING about candy and is a great resource if you are trying to figure out how much to buy. She was extremely helpful with making suggestions and helping me figure out how much candy we needed to have for my sister's wedding candy bar. If she doesn't have something in stock she can turn it around in usually a day. The store itself is super charming, you are literally entering an old school candy shop. Not too many places like this exist anymore. Minges is the perfect place for all of your bulk candy needs. Also they now have a small parking lot next to the shop. It is small and fills up though so you may have to park on the street and I noticed meters now take credit cards!

Stumbled upon this little candy shop one day after shopping at Cappel's right across the street. Having no idea what to expect I wondered into this place and then my eyes busted out of their sockets. I'm not even a huge sweets person but there is something about walking into a candy store that just really gets me going. Memories of when, and where I ate the candy. Where we bought it as kids. I remember me and my brother scraping quarters together to go buy those vanilla french chews from the five and dime down the street. That kinda stuff. And this place is full of nostalgia for me. They have everything from red hots, to gummy bears, rock candy, chocolate and truffles to liquorice. Literally anything you could ever want, and if they don't have it, I'm sure they could get it.My only disappointment, which may be a positive for others, is that this candy is in bulk. So you can buy a 10 lb bag of lemonheads for $22. Now I am the wrong person to ask because I have no idea if that is cheap or not. But what they have is quality, and the staff is very friendly. I was looking to buy those cheap gold coin chocolates and they were out so close to St. Paddy's Day but the nice woman named a few other places that might still have them. I really appreciated that she took the time to help me! That is not common these days. Stop in Minges and just look around if nothing else. Super fun and there are some things that are not in bulk if you just want a quick sugar rush ;)

I called to inquire about a specific product and the representative acted like I was bothering her. She rushed me through the call and was very curt which was very rude. I was left with a bad impression of a company I had never heard of until now. I am not sure if I will ever give them my business.

The smell when you walk in just transports you back to your childhood. This store is amazing!

Love this place. What a throwback to the good old days. Cool old building. Super helpful and NICE staff. Bulk candy. Ice cubes OMG. Sour patch kids individually wrapped! Sugar daddies. Wow. We come here every year for Halloween to get off the beaten track candy!!
