Mad Candy

The Mad Hatter Candy shop is a quirky little place with a unique charm! While the candy selection isn't massive, the variety they do have is fun, and you'll probably find a sweet treat or two to enjoy. But honestly, the real highlight is the chance to dress up as the Mad Hatter! It's such a playful touch that makes the visit feel like a mini adventure into Wonderland.The shop itself has a cozy vibe, and the staff member I interacted with was lovely--so polite and welcoming, which added to the experience. It's not a place to stock up on loads of candy, but if you're in the mood for something whimsical and lighthearted, this spot is worth checking out. Definitely a fun little escape from the everyday grind!

There are two entrances for MadCandy. One entrance is located along Main and the other is in the back facing a parking lot. I was attracted to the graffiti walls featuring Alice in Wonderland and the Mad Hatter. You feel as if you're entering a fantasyland as you go into the back door. Staff were very friendly and welcoming. Walls and walls ofcandy, some seating areas and photo opportunities. A nice vibe to be welcomed to.Free street and lot parking.

So many very different types of candy. It's a great shop and we visit every time we go to downtown Mesa. Always helpful and friendly. Support the small businesses of this city, it's worth it. Cutest place you will see in all downtown.

This cute and organized candy shop is the perfect stop on your way to a show at the Mesa Arts Center! Everything is decorated well and there are a lot of neat candies to purchase!

This is the coolest little candy shop in downtown Mesa. When you go through the bright pink door, it is like a colorful candy land. There is even a corner dedicated to Willy Wonka. Make sure you go to the back hallway to see the awesome art. There are all kinds of candy, both commercially packages and bulk. We got some bulk peach rings and malted milk balls. But they were not your average malted milk balls--these were covered with a cherry chocolate and SOOOO much better than the boxed kind. Like little balls of heaven.

This is my families favorite candy shop! We cannot go to Mesa without stopping by. It is so creative and beautiful inside, there are always new details to look at! There's a beautiful mural outside as well and the back door is frequently open which is such a fun "secret" passageway. The restroom is one of my favorites as well. They have a ton of candy options and it is well lit, it makes me so sad to read some of these reviews! The owners clearly have put their hearts into this shop. One of my favorite things about this shop is the seasonal/holiday inventory, it is too fun to see the new candy! They have ice cream bars, drinks, bulk candy, candy packs, and more. I always have to get a caramel apple sucker when we check out We love Mad Candy!

Per the owners request I'm updating my review to how I really feel. The store is more dimly lit then a Spencer's Gifts in the mall, what main portion of the store is big brown bins of I dunno what because there are no signs, absolutely no effort in trying to make this, the biggest area of the store special at all. The little areas on the sides do have some cute interest points but what does have signage are hundreds of percent over what you can buy at other retailers. I'm all for supporting local but not for being ripped off just because it's local owned.The store experience was very much like the Willy Wonka Experience in the UK even the employee was that enthused to be there. You would think a week after a highly advertised Grand Opening there would at least be signs and prices. I fail to see how knowing the price of something is an unrealistic expectation.

My kids love finding gems such as this shop! We stumbled upon MadCandy while wandering down Main Street, and boy was it a treat! loved the whimsical decor, all the Alice in Wonderland theme (my favorite too!) and the variety of bulk candy being offered here. Staff were very polite, and also gave us the right amount of distance so that we can explore before making our selections. There are drinks in the back, and a small sitting area to enjoy your sweets. A few spaces make great IG-ready photos. And don't forget to check out the back entrance, there's a fantastic mural and the hallway left me in awe. One of our favorite candy shops by far!

A new candy shop opened up on Main St. here in downtown Mesa and I have to say its pretty sweet!The inside of the store is super cute, has a lot of displays, pops of color and decorations all around. One thing I love about this place is the large variety of saltwater taffy they have, I love that stuff and don't always want the same boring flavors you find in pre mixed bags at the store. The cinnamon one is my favorite though.Glad to see a fun new shop down on Main Street and I know I will be back to get more saltwater taffy soon!

We were very disappointed. the store is half empty. There were very few selections, a lot of bulk, no chocolate, nuts, or big gum balls. they really need to spend on inventory and display. i asked where the Candy was made and she had NO IDEA. hmmm CHINA?
