Regina's Candies

Cute little local shop with tons of candy options. I love dark chocolate so I headed toward the dark chocolate sea salt caramels and chocolate covered blueberries. Yummmm. The staff was very friendly and helpful. It was busy with several people buying Christmas themed candy. They asked if I wanted my two choices wrapped but I declined as they were all for ME! What a nice perk to offer, though. It was fun seeing all the colors and different kinds of candies to purchase. It was nice the store was a bit set back from the street so you could pull into a 'mini-parking-lot' right in front of the store. Good stop.

Great place to buy outstanding candies for ALL occasions. It's been a tradition in our family for over 50 years now and I have no intention of stopping anytime soon.

This WAS my go-to for chocolate gifts. No more. More than a week before Easter 2020, I ordered Easter treats to send to my partner, who lives out of state. Because of COVID-19 we have not been able to see each other for several weeks.The package was never delivered. Regina's wouldn't return emails and phone messages. I only got through on April 14, only to find that the package was returned. They did not call the contact number they were given for delivery and basically ruined the one thing i could do for my partner for Easter, an Easter when we have both recently had deaths in the family. It was an Easter when we were both by ourselves.I called and dealt with an uncaring and argumentative manager who turned my complaint into a rude and uncaring response. I really don't care if she hasn't seen her family either. It's not a contest. I would recommend that until a management change is made. Don't do business there..

Something of a St. Paul icon, Regina's Fine Candies is tucked away on a corner of one of those narrow streets in the Mac-Groveland area, across from a school (talk about your great strategy!) in a neighborhood that's almost entirely residential. I can't count the number of times I've driven through this intersection and never noticed their store until I really needed to find it.I've eaten some of Regina's candies in the past, having received it as gifts, and also picked it up as gifts and for myself at other stores around town that carry some of their selected offerings, pre-packaged and ready to go. Always fresh, delicious, quality candy.It was actually the need to buy something a little nicer and classier as a thank you gift that finally took me to the Regina's store itself. It goes without saying that for a kid, this is probably the closest you could get to heaven on earth, as long as they had their iPhone with them and WiFi access. An endless selection of all kinds of candy, and an aroma that made you gain weight with every breath. But for adults too, beautiful, high-quality sweets to please every taste and budget, and a lot of classy, pre-packaged selections that are perfect for gift-giving. Regina's also carries cards and other odds & ends that makes it very convenient if you just need to pick up a little something for a friend, family member, co-worker, or other person in your life for whom you would like to do a kind turn for whatever occasion.

I love having this little candy shop in the neighborhood, and this falls in that category of "I haven't reviewed that before? Really?"Regina's is easy to overlook, tucked away on Saint Clair Ave. right next to the Roxy dry cleaners. It is totally worth the stop in. They have big glass cases full of delicious chocolates. There are jars lining the shelves with hard candies and gummy things. There is almost always someone making some kind of candy behind the counter, and there are often women bagging up candies in pretty gift bags tied with big long pieces of ribbon (for some reason I am really enamored with the giant spools of ribbon behind the counter). You can pop in for a prepacked box or bag that makes a great quick gift. Or, you can ask them to pack you a box or bag on the spot. They have a lot of old-school candies (my favorite are the fruit slices) and will pack you up whatever you want. By weight. Of course. I've found the chocolates to be delicious and rich and other candy to be fresh and tasty. Prices are reasonable but not cheap -- it's homemade gourmet candy after all. The little flier they put in some of the boxes say the store has been around since 1926. That's quite a tradition!

I live in San Diego, CA but have a friend who I visit in St Paul. I wanted to find a candy shop that made dark chocolate maple creams. Regina's not only makes them, but they're the best I've ever tasted. Quality chocolate makes the difference. I just ordered the maple creams to be sent to my home in San Diego wondering how the candy would survive the trip. They arrived in special wrapping and were in perfect condition. It's wonderful to find a small business that both makes a delicious product and has superior customer service. Thanks for everything!

I was visiting St Paul on business. I made a phone call asking for some candies for my client. Is was ready to go when I arrived - packaged, ribbons, cards and all. Such a fantastic store. Such wonderful service. I am very impressed!

METAL FOUND IN REGINA'S CANDIES - My sister purchased some dark chocolate covered English toffee from Regina's Candies for Thanksgiving dinner. I was too full from dinner so I took two pieces of Regina's Candies English toffee home for later. I ate them the following Sunday and while chewing the second piece I noticed something I couldn't chew - so I spit it out and found 10 metal staples in the toffee. Luckily I did not get hurt. I also don't want others to get hurt so I contacted the company about this and they've basically gone silent. I've also asked for my sisters purchase to be refunded - No Response from Regina's Candies. I reached out to the food and safety department in hopes of reducing the chance of someone getting hurt. Be careful when purchasing from Regina's Candies.

Great place to get a Valentine. You can get a heart box that's already to go or pick your own chocolates to go in one. Sales clerk was very helpful.

Just visited Regina's due to a friends recommendation! The customer service and friendliness was non existent!I expected a lot more from an upscale candy store! Bought a box of candy hand picked for a special gift! The candy may be good but the gift presentation was terrible! Will never return again! Had to ask for an extra ribbon to make it look better! I felt I was a bother!!! Not a good feel as a new prospectaive customer!
