Heather P. "This is the site of Lexington's real life gingerbread house. I've driven by this place hundreds of times. It's been years since I've been inside. While I was on a quest to find local places to buy Valentine's Day candy, I decided to make this my first stop.As I walked in, I was consumed by the aroma of the sugary goodness brewing in the back. Everything lined the walls and Valentine themed candy and boxes were on the tables in the middle. Nothing really tickled my fancy. I did ask about the chocolate covered grapes and the young lady told me that they were in the back. Never offering a sampling or any pricing details. Then I over heard someone checking out and being offered free samples. I guess that you have to purchase to sample. Weird business call if you ask me. I have had their candies before and I don't remember being blown away. This time I left empty handed and headed to Old Kentucky Chocolates, which was only about a mile away. There at Old Kentucky Chocolates, the candy was less expensive and they offered free samples. There at Old Kentucky Chocolates, I didn't leave empty handed."

Kayla T. "Stop here! Worth the visit. Service was great. Girl behind the counter smiled the entire time we ordered. Everyone on the car had a different drink and everyone said that it was the best coffee they had ever had. Get the beignets!! Orders two orders! Cool atmosphere. We played cards while we waited! Looks like they had a few lunch items, but had lots of cookies and desserts. And liquor!! We will stop on our way back home also!"

Third times a charm. I stopped by two different time during their open hours posted on their Facebook and on google, but they weren't open. That's the only reason I'm giving them four stars instead of 5. They have so many different nut and seed options and flavors along with an assortment of Turkish delights and baklava. Their food service area has so many sweet options and coffee options to choose from. We went there specifically to try their Dubai Strawberries and chocolate bar and they did not disappoint. The staff was very kind and helpful with deciding if we would like anything else. The strawberries are delicious! So rich and creamy with crunch from the pistachio and phyllo dough. Enough to share and eat on for two days. They have 4 different sizes to their Dubai chocolate bars. The small pictured is $8.99 and the prices go up to $50. The bar is a perfect balance of sweet and savory.Definitely a must try.

Lexington and the surrounding area is full of options to buy candies, but Sharps Candies easily rises above all others. Not only do they have all usual confections, but some of my diabetic friends claim that their sugar free candies are outstanding. While everything is delicious, you have got to try their dark chocolate toffee. Even if you are one who typically does not like dark chocolate, I encourage you to try it. You will buy a box guaranteed! (sometimes they have free samples if you ask)I recommend Sharps Candies with absolutely no reservations. I know because I have been a faithful customer for over 25 years!
