Sweet Mickey's Candy Shoppe

This is one of the cutest candy shops I've ever seen. I love the layout. As you enter, it's candy drinks on your right followed by a wall of pick & mix style options from all over America & Europe, to the very back looked like some chocolates, to your left, unique and cute gift baskets for a number of occasions, and behind that the shop owner at the display and checkout counter, featuring in-house made truffles and fudge. I stuck to the pick&mix because for example there were candies from Italy & Canada I wanted to re-try, but also unique flavors I'd never imagined before such as "spicy Mango" which literally tasted like someone melted pepper and mixed it into the gummy. It's delicious if you're into interesting flavors. They had more traditional flavors as well like strawberry, grape, etc.The owner is polite and complimented my smile, so there's no way to add another star, because I can't but sure did help !

The perfect candy shop. Most by the pound, employees are super pleasant and very informed about all the candy. Very international selection. We go almost every Saturday as a treat for the fam!Also dog friendly and nice place to sit and rest your legs.

Such a cute little store with yummy treats! We had such a great time stopping in and looking at all the different candy they had. The lady who helped us was very nice and had great knowledge of the candy within the store.

Such a cute shop! We walked in and it smelled of all the candy you used to dream about. The gentleman working there was very friendly and more than willing to answer any questions. The candy choices were great! My only issue is the price but considering it's Seattle it makes sense!

The drive from Shoreline to Ballard was well worth the drive just to experience the over-the-top friendly service. When a friend of mine inherited a several million years back, I always commented on how she acted like a kid lost in a candy store. I am glad they don't have a camera system at this place because I am sure I was acting the same way with so many choices. Cleverly planned and organized business starting with employees all the way to the last candy choice! If this place was to be Franchise, I would invest because of the excellent selections! Great Job Randy, clearly you have vested your heart into your business and it shows earning you plenty of good reviews! Ignore the bad ones, they must be having a bad day which we all have from time to time. Happy to help you find a location in Shoreline if interested not to say being bigger is better but everyone should have access to the environment you have created. Everyone is always so excited when I go into your store which makes me spend more! hahaha, cheers!

Sweet Mickeys is not only sweet for all the sugar you can find in there, but it's also sweet as in a charming little candy shop. The gentleman helping me today was super sweet and kind. The windows are so adorable. A throwback to a time when shops did wonderful window displays. The shop is a nice blend of chocolate, fudge, and vintage candy options. I have everything from chocolate covered peanuts and malted milk balls to gummy bears, Turkish Taffy, and jawbreakers. Today they had some beautiful truffles that would make a wonderful Valentine's gift. Located in Ballard Central, it's a cute location. The good thing and also at times a drawback is street parking. It's great if you can get it, and a pain when everybody is out and about.

Social Distancing Edition ReviewIn this time of uncertainty, there are a few standbys that can help you feel just a little bit better. A strong cup of coffee, cake, a glass of wine, and dare I forget, a solid bag of sweets. So what can you do to accomplish that? Well, you can risk your life and limb at the local grocery store... OR... you can call Randy at Sweet Mickey's and either get home deliver if you are near by, or schedule time with him to get a wonderful "Social Distanced" approved personal schooling opportunity. What lies at in his shop is none other that beautifully hand made fudge, without any of the corn syrups, and bins of candy that fill the mind and soul. Don't worry about touching anything, with the exception of the front door, you are in a no-contact purchasing experience. Cash is king, but if you prefer, he'll take the tap-to-pay or other digital payments. Look, I'm not saying that you should get candy, I'm saying that in this time and age, with all the social distancing, if you need candy, call ahead, parking is plentiful, and get some wonderful candy. Stay calm, eat local, wash your hands.

Wonderful selection of homemade chocolates and, also, harder-to-find favorites like Violet Crumble. The staff is consistently friendly and everything about this place is delightful.

A friend & I strolled Ballard Ave tonight (after a visit to the National Nordic Museum - much recommended) and stopped in at Sweet Mickey's.This is a stroll down memory lane. Do you remember "button candy?" Little wax bottle candy?? How about candy fruit slices??? It's all here. I took home a nice chunk of rocky road fudge...Jennifer, who took care of us, was delightful.

I've been coming to this candy shop since it was in its old location on 57th. The old location was great and had its charm, but the new location on Ballard Ave is even better! There's more space, which means more room for more of that sweet, sweet candy. I love stopping in and seeing what they have in the bulk bins since last time I was in. I love trying the different packaged treats they have, many of which I'd likely never have heard of had it not been for Sweet Mickeys (they have many they get from different countries). The select offering of delicious truffles is nicely curated to fit different tastes (my go-to when I want something small but decadent). And finally their specialty, the fudge. The fudge is amazingly smooth, rich, and luxurious. I basically always buy some to bring family whenever I travel (at this point they've come to expect it LOL). And the people. As you might be able to tell from the above, over the years I've stopped in a great many times (probably too many... but let's ignore that!). The employees here are always kind and helpful. And the owner, Randy (or Candy Randy), is very personable and thoughtful. He's always up for a chat and I'm consistently surprised at all the details he remembers, even if it's been months since I last stopped in!So yeah, really love everything about this place. If you like candy, treat yourself and stop in to this wonderful store!
