Reviews of Cravin's Candy Emporium - Boise ID
Best candy store in our valley! I’ve been going to the one at Bown Crossing for 15yrs and went to check out Meridian location today. It’s just as amazing as the Boise location! Every candy/treat you could possibly need. Will go again and again and again!!! ❤️
Staff was friendly and helpful. We tried the Gelato flavors, but chose limoncello and tiramisu. It was a perfect snack for a hot summer day. The vintage candy was truly a treasure. Left with Zotz, Cherry Sparkle Laffy Taffy, candy gum cigarettes, and Pop Cookin'. Was glad to bring back and share some of my childhood candy with my own children.
I frequent this store regularly but am finding a loss of interest. Initially it felt nostalgic and whimsical. Now it feels old and tired. I don't think it's ever been "rearranged" to make it come back to life and feel more interesting. The same stock in the same place for how many years? It's gotten boring. I just walk in, get what I want and get out. One thing I noticed too was the staffing changes. There used to be young, friendly store clerks who seemed happy to help and made the experience more enjoyable. It's just tired.
A fun place, with lots of different kinds of candy. I was looking for divinity for my mother-in-law, because her father made it when she was a child. They had that, plus different kinds of truffles and chocolate dipped candies.
My sister and I are obsessed with Willy Wonka, and we happened to find this candy store which is totally awesome! We loved it more than any candy store in the treasure Valley. Super amazing and awesome variety, 10/10 recommend to everyone.
I didn't know such an awesome candy store was so close to me! So much candy to choose from!! And best part - I found my favorite Kinder Bueno chocolate! I could even say it's a super cute place to stop by while being on a date, picking some candies together in this cute place will create some sweet memories! 😃💗 …
Omg, I've found my favorite store!! Guys this is a must to stopped by. You will not be disappointed.
5/5 I would definitely recommend! When my daughter and I went in the store I saw old candy and new candy it was amazing how they had a little bit of everything and don't even get me started on how cute the Harry Potter items are, since my daughter is a huge Harry Potter fan she loved there selection.
It was fun to be a kid again. Remembering the candy I grew up took me back to baseball games where we first became friends.
Sweet tart ropes tasted old
Lady that served me was very good though
Love love love the truffles. Used to live in Boise and make it a regular stop. But now we live out in Ontario but still find our way here every couple weeks getting goodies! Always a stop I enjoy and don’t mind spending lots of money here! Great customer service each time too! Thanks for always making it a great experience.
Great service. When my five year old daughter wanted to hand pick candy from the bulk licorice bins, an employee got her a plastic glove to wear while she did it. I wish there were more options without artificial dyes. Also, it can get pretty pricey, so I have only taken my kids there twice in two years.
Oh my heck!! First off is the experience your eyes take in just walking into this store! It's Candy heaven for sure! We try to make visiting here a special occasion for the kids a few times a year. Candy from the Good Ol' days, as well as 100's of choices of other candy..my kids love the jawbreakers, they have several to choose from. There is so much to see it takes quite awhile to decide what you want! ❤️
Love the old school vibe of this place. All the treats in the case were delicious. My favorites were the chocolate covered s’more and peanut clusters! Workers were also super nice and helpful.
Love love love the selections! I wasn't even looking for anything in particular but still managed to spend $50. Lots of good things to choose from but the one thing my aunt was after, they didn't have, sarsaparilla. We've been on a hunt and struck out! They did have some rare bottled soda, just not the flavor we were looking for. Will be back! Cute little place!
If you plan on going to the movies, go here first. Big selection of candy and they most likely have what you are craving for a movie snack at a great price.
***UPDATE***
Just had a wonderful talk with Debbie and am happy to change my rating from a 2 to a 5. We both understood and got where the issue I had was coming from. Great customer service, I will for sure be back to give them another try. Thank you !
I’m sad to say I was a little disappointed in the product of this store. It was recommended to me for my holiday candy. The stores cute and had many choices to pick from. I pick out many different taffy flavors and chocolate covered gummy bears. Both disappeared my family. They didn’t taste fresh. I’m sorry to say but I have gotten fresher taffy from Winco and the gummy bears I use to get fresher from Fred Meyers bulk (sadly they no longer carry them). I may try them again for the ice cream.
Great selection of candy, chocolates and Gelato!
Yumm!
Boise native here- This is a cute, but small candy store. They are always playing Charlie and the Chocolate factory, which makes it fun. The products are expensive, but that goes with this side of town. The staff is usually nice.
The customers that tend to come here ( out of state transplants ) are never friendly. They ruin the experience.
Very cool candy shop. A bit of nostalgia with playing the original Charlie and the Chocolate Factory on the TV’s while playing musical interludes from Pink Panther and I Love Lucy and signed classical pictures on the wall. Huge (And I mean HUGE) selection of candies from today and yesteryear, a selection of sodas (Bazooka?), and even gelato.
Pretty cool and worth a visit.
Great store. So many fun candies. Really good gellato, good variety of flavors. Also a great variety of black licorice. The chocolates case is very nice. I tried the truffles and honeycomb, very good. The only complaint, I feel the prices are too high.
Best Gelato! The girls that work there are so sweet and helpful!
Wonderful little candy shop. They have sooo many selections, many from the past too.
So, the candy is nice. Quite an assortment. But the manager or owner, whoever I talked to on the phone, is AWESOME! I thought I had payed for and then forgotten a couple soda pops there. I called but got an answering machine. I felt silly leaving a message about a couple drinks. But they called me back and was able to look up my purchase to confirm that they didn't get rung up. I must have set them on the counter but forgot to hand them to the cashier. Most likely my fault. BUT they were so interested in me having a good experience there that they wanted to take responsibility for it and treat me to the sodas. I politely declined but let her know that I appreciated the kind gesture. Seriously, this is THE example of good customer service. We're talking about two soda pops. They went above and beyond over two soda pops. I highly recommend this place.
Oh, and they have Willy Wonka playing on their TV :-)
This place is an absolute dream. I am one of the biggest Willy Wonka fans you will probably ever meet, and the store is completely decked out in the movie memorabilia. It is a little on the spendy side, but if you're looking for amazing tasting candy, or even just the experience of going into a real Candy shop, this is definitely a place that you should try.
They don't have just candy. They also have ice cream, soda pop, and several sections that are themed, like Harry Potter. They also have a really cool little area with lunch boxes and dressing up hats for costumes and such.
Definitely recommend.
Super cute candy store! They have just about everything thing you could think of! It sure brings you back to your childhood going to the corner store to get penny candy. The prices are what you would expect at a candy store.
They had gelato, truffles, and chocolates also.
The only downfall was the building was small for the amount of people in there on a Saturday. It was certainly a fun treat to visit Cravin's!!
Best candy store in Boise for sure! Been supporting since I was a little kid! Feels like you've travelled in time. It's so nostalgic
We don’t drive to Boise often and this past week when we went, I wanted to get some old fashioned candy. Google maps lead us to this cute little shop. The had a great selection of classic candies, my favorite taffy flavor, and old fashion root beer!
I will be cravin’ this place. Just terrific in terms of price and selection, with great ice cream too.
What a blast from the past! So many treats reminded me of my childhood. The candy is reasonably priced and the staff is extremely friendly. It was nice to have a conversation with them. The house made Turtles are THE BOMB!
If you're looking for a fun outting, I definitely recommend going here. They have all kinds of old fashioned candy and the kinds of candy from your childhood that aren't sold anywhere but here anymore. They have yummy ice cream too. There's games you can buy for road trips or just family fun too. Their bulk candy is spendy but it's worth it for a one time treat. My kids loved looking at all the different kinds. I enjoyed showing them all the different candy I used to get when I was their age. It was such a fun adventure.
I'm not much of a candy person but I love to go here to get Old Fashioned Candy for my brother Dan and something for my daughter in law. So much fun to look around, read the cards and check out gag gifts. They do have a lovely chocolate case with a great assortment!! Ummmm
Great Ice Gelato. Awesome variety of candies. Great service.
Huge selection of candy. Just about everything you could imagine. Great location just steps from the greenbelt. Always friendly staff. Love it!
I stop in here whenever I am riding my bike with my 3 year old daughter on the greenbelt. It is our tradition to pop in for a celebratory chocolate. The selection isn't huge, but it is really quite good confectionaries. The only reason that I am awarding only 4 stars is that it is proportionally very expensive for what you would expect. I usually spend $5 - $6 for two chocolates.
Joe and Debbie have done a great job jumping right in to being a part of the community. What better way to do so than to hit us where it tastes so good.. In our tummies. Cravin's Candy Emporium is a nostalgic, magical place for me.. A 51 year old woman 😊. There's candy nostalgia for every decade for the last 40/50 years or even better.
Oh! But there isn't just candy! Oh no no NO.. They order and carry all kinds of curioso items. I'll bet you couldn't walk out of there without having something trigger a memory of some kind. 💋
Please note: This review is solely and entirely based upon my experience and is of my opinion. I, therefore, hold no liability for the assumption or consideration that could be taken by other's
Great people and amazing selections of candy, gelato, and other "exotic" types of candy. While a bit on the spendy side, a great place to go for some strange candy! Unfortunately, the place is small so it's not great for groups larger than about 5 people. Outside seating is space but available.
The term kid in a candy store………doh! Great way to spend the afternoon…top it off with some ice cream…..my inner kid never had it so well
This is the most amazing candy store I have been to. We will be back many more times😘. It’s not just a candy store it’s an adventure for kids and adults. The owners are super kind and helpful too:) …
Thank you so much! My grandkids loved the scavenger birthday party. They now have memories they will not forget. We will definitely be back!
I've been to quite a few candy shops and I think this one is my new favorite!! They have a small 'theater' (a tv and bench) to eat your gelato on. It's great for pics of the kids! They have Harry Potter merch and candy, old candy and soda, and tons of goodies edible and non edible, even some Star Wars and Elvis things. The couple working there were so incredibly nice..even when our 18 month old through a tantrum. They have tons of gelato and sorbet. This place is worth the little trip that it takes to get to that side of Boise.
This is where we go when my kids have earned it. They love to watch Willy Wonka while sitting on the theater seats. Cotton candy vending machine where it's made right in front of you is my kids favorite. Small store, but much to see.
I love this candy store!!! There's so much retro candy that brings back great memories!!! A must-see when in Boise!!!!
I absolutely love this candy shop. The selection is bountiful. The staff is friendly and helpful. The decor is delightful. This shop has candy, toys, sodas, gelato, etc. If you are in South East Boise, stop in.
It was wonderfully reminiscent of days gone by. All the wonderful candies from when we were children back in the 90s and some they came before my generation as well, fairly priced and the ladies who work there were very helpful, more than happy to answer any questions that we had.All in all a wonderful visit
Expensive. A bag of candy was $30. I know they need to keep prices high to stay in business as a candy store. They need a budget section for the old candy they sell. My son's candy bar fell apert it was so dry.
Clearance! Say that is a concept nearly all stores use.
They were amazing! They had all the classic candy, sodas, and all the homemade candy you could hope for! We will always go there anytime we are in Boise!
Love this place! Big candy selection and the employees are always helpful and happy. My kids love coming here because they always get treated well and it's a candy store!
Love this store! Has a really cool/cute atmosphere, great selection and delicious ice cream! Great spot to bring friends/family.
Super fun to go and get fun candy. A little pricey so its not an all the time thing but for a little fun for special occasions it's perfect.
A fun place to visit if you love candy and kitschy toys/gifts. They have a lot of retro candy favorites that are hard to find elsewhere, too. Their candy experts are friendly and helpful.
The staff are AMAZING!! Great selection of delicious candy, soda, and gelato. A must visit!
This is a great local candy shop they have everything you can desire lots of nostalgia even a cotton candy machine and great employees very clean and well-kept great fun for everyone in the family definitely worth going to
Fun shop for kids and adults, like going back in time. Friendly staff and well stocked candy store. Lots of fun. Please support them.
It's like walking into a Willy Wonka movie or Candyland. There is everything you can imagine, but it is horrible for a diabetic. I look forward to the day when they have a large stock of stevia sweetened candy! And maybe stevia-sweetened gelato. Still I have to give them 5 Stars cuz for a candy store they are awesome.
Overpriced when compared to other places to get candy. Hey have a decent selection of candies you can't find else ware, but otherwise I wouldn't purchase anything else there or you'll overpay.
Coppa Mista is simply the best!
Clark bars and Zagnuts. Flake. Big Turk. Bottle Caps. GooGoo Clusters. Mary Janes. Imported Cadbury's. And, drumroll, please... the only place in the valley I have found bottled Moxie soda!!! Not sure if there are any other local gelato shops for direct competition, but the gelato here is adequate, to say the least. Five stars for Moxie and Zagnut!
These guys are great! Amazing customer service. And incredible store.
Simply put: our favorite place to go as a family!
They sell some neat, old school and difficult to find candy. Plus all the basics and some candy in bulk. It's a cute little place for a sugar rush!
There is something for everyone to get their sugar high on: gelato, sorbet, chocolate dipped candies, jelly bellies, sour powder, salt water taffy, cotton candy, international, classic, and novelty prepackaged candies. There is a machine that will make cotton candy while you watch! You will be overwhelmed with choice and it'll be hard to go wrong.
This place is so magical! They have everything from cute toys to gelato and of course a huge selection of candy!
Good selection, with things you can't easily find elsewhere. Their gelato is very good as well. I have always been impressed with their customer service; the staff is friendly and helpful.
My first time here. Great area and atmosphere. The owner was very friendly and personable. Tons of delicious old school favs.Great place to visit!
Normal candy is a bit overpriced but they do have a great selection of difficult to find candies. The gelato is the main reason I come to this candy store, it's really good.
Cute, vintage, unique candy shop that has lots of different treats! Kind of pricy, but the atmosphere is super chill!
I love this little local candy store!! So nostalgic and always interesting items!
One of the best candy stores boise gots to offer. Way cool, and worth the drive
This place has all of my favorite old time candy! Zots, Blackjack gum, and more! Staff was friendly and professional.
Great selection of new, odd, and vintage candies and other treats. Soda selection and gelato is not bad either. Perfect for a date night.
So many options! It's fun to just browse too. Sometimes I wish it had the old soda fountain counters like in Willy Wonka
I really like this place, if I could give it 4 1/2 stars I would. The only reason I don't give it 5 stars is because it can very expensive very quickly.
Always has the best candy selection in Idaho. Plus, playing the original charlie and the chocolate factory makes it all the sweeter
This place was awesome!! They had every kind of candy and soda that I’ve ever seen. Their huckleberry soda was on pointe!!
Awesome candy store with a huge selection of goodies. The items in the checkout area display cases are locally made by the store manager
Awesome candy shop with some special sodas as well. Great place to bring the family.
The variety is amazing! Soo many things from my childhood that I hadn't had in years!! Some funny stuff too like the bacon bar soap!!
Warm, friendly environment with many, many options for the sweet tooth including a variety of ice cream and soda choices.
This is a favorite stop when we are in town. It feels like an old time candy shop, but better because there is newer candies too.
Totally amazing.....like visiting my childhood candy store. Staff was awesome. Go to this place!!!!
