Blooms Candy & Soda Pop Shop

This is the place If you are looking for a little nostalgia or crave something to satisfy a sweet tooth.They have a little of everything you could possibly be looking for, right there in Old Downtown Carrollton. Thank you!

Is is every not fun to tour a cool, retro candy store? Downtown Carrollton has this gem of a place that is loaded with unusual candies and media tie-in lunch boxes and scented candles. Its Spencer's meets Rocket Fizz. Barf and Ranch Dressing sodas are in the cooler, along with obscure specialty fruit sodas that are less gross. Chunky bars, prayer candles themed after The Office and Breaking Bad characters, and a host of other items familiar, retro, and new line the displays.My one gripe is this is the kind of store it's fun to browse, but difficult to buy from because everything is so unusual and priced as such. We did buy a few things, honey sticks and some cherry drops. The guy behind the counter was notably humorless, weird for a candy store. I don't know if I've seen Willy Wonka too many times, but I kinda want the people working in a candy store to appreciate the joy of the narrative. This dude barely acknowledged me as we checked out.I think we will likely always visit Blooms when we come to Downtown Carrollton because it's kinda irresistible. It's a novelty store and a good place to find an unusual gift as you sift through the options.

I LOVE this place it is such a unique candy store with sensory overload of all the candies and colors around you. They have a bunch of different sodas in the back with wacky flavors to try, and a wall of other knick knacks to find as you wander around. I always come to this store for a specific chocolate bar that normal stores just don't carry.

Place is still rocking at the same location. Found cane sugar Dr Pepper and Coke here. Picked up a few things that I had not seen in bit. If I wasn't careful I could spend most of my retirement here. Great stuff! Though i35 is still under construction (and since its been like that for the last 5-6 years it can be a pain!) And its rather expensive as well. 10 ounce bottle of soda is $2.69

i was visiting a friend in Carrollton, TX and he brought me to this area of town (*unsure if it was dtwn Carrollton or what), but it gave me Mayberry meets black ppl vibes and it was a very pleasant place. Blooms Candy had ALL of the old skool, nostalgic candy from our youth. Any piece of penny candy, box of 25 cent candy that you used to eat growing up, they had. They even sold collectors item toys, dolls and games.This place will make all of your money disappear on some snaccidental spending, I promise!The lady who owned it was very friendly and sweet. Check her out!

In the days of my youth I remember the icy cold glass bottle in my hand during hot summer days.  Droplets of water dripped down the sides.  Some times I'd hold the cold bottle to my forehead before I opened and bottle and took a drink.  Hires Root Beer or 7UP chilled me to my core and for a few blissful moments the heat was kept at bay.  Collecting empty bottles at construction sites would finance my next purchase till the drink manufacturers phased out cleaning and refilling glass bottles.Lately glass bottles have been making a come back.  I prefer the glass bottles as you don't have chemicals in plastic bottles or the lining of aluminum cans leaching into your drink.  While under lockdown I was looking for a treat. My thoughts drifted back to my last visit to Solvang.  Viking Garden Restaurant had Death Valley Root Beer on tap.  It was one of the best tasting root beers I had tried.  I did a google search and found  Blooms Candy & Soda Pop Shop had Death Valley Root Beer in the glass bottle.  They had a minimum shipping charge so I put in a big order so shipping wasn't greater than the purchase cost.Subtotal  : $29.41 USDShipping  : $20.36 USDTotal     : $49.77 USD  A week after I placed my order a big box showed up on my porch.  Inside I noticed each bottle was individually wrapped in bubble wrap while surrounded by styrofoam peanuts.  Each bottle was very well protected and none damaged.  Death Valley Root Beer had the most foam I've had in ages.  Smooth sweet root beer flavor with a hint of vanilla.  Made with pure cane sugar.  My favorite drink I purchased from Blooms.Route 66 Lime soda was a mix of sweet and sour lime flavor.  Reminds me of lime snow cones I've had.  Pretty good flavor and I liked the florescent green color.Red Rock root beer was sweet with a caramel flavor.  Medium amount of foam.  Pretty good.  A little like A&W root beer.Mexican Squirt has a bold grapefruit flavor and there is a good deal of sweetness to cut that tart flavor.  My second fav drink from Blooms.Red Rock Premium Grape sweet with a smooth grape flavor.  Pretty good.Saranac root beer had lots of foam and a sweet smooth flavor.  Taste a bit like Death Valley root beer.  Great tasting root beer.In the days of my youth I remember the icy cold bottle of Hires root beer in my hand.  These days I have an icy cold bottle of Death Valley root beer in my hand.

I was looking for pickle flavored candies and snacks for my pickle pal lol and they had a great selection here. The store was very clean and organized and I liked all the different options they had. They actually had unique things I haven't seen at other candy stores in the area. I'll definitely be back to get more stuff soon!

Enjoyed our second visit to Blooms Candy Store. We had been prior on a tour and came back on a mission to buy chocolate and popcorn for the grandkids. I recommend this candy store.

This is a joint I discovered sometime last year. Being a 1980's kid, I fell in love with all the candy, toys and sodas from that generation. I try not to go in there much, seeing as I'm a diabetic, but I'd be lying if I say I don't go in there every couple or three months. The prices are great. They have a little bit of anything that you may remember from your childhood: a definite two thumbs up!

Fun little candy shop in downtown Carrollton!! Loads of nostalgic and fun treats to pick from
