Bald guy is a douchbag! let's call him mr.sluggworth.
We will never go into Candy Vault again after the way the "man" treated my family.. took our 8-year old son and his friend today after spending $40 in the arcade went over to to candy part of the store and my son accidentally let SIX JELLY BEANS fall to the ground and quickly picked them up and put them in a pail. The "man" once we tried to check out (4 candies and 3 ice creams) he told us he was charging us for the six jelly beans that dropped too! On the receipt he claims the jelly beans were $4.16. My kids were excited for the candy so we said forget the ice cream and he refunded us for that. It's crazy to own a candy store and not to expect to account for "spillage" in your business plan. Never again will we go there!
This was one of my favorite spots and “must visits” each time I was in the area. I visited yesterday, on my birthday, and sadly I was disappointed. The candy selection was sparse. Nothing interesting and definitely none of the novelty and nostalgic candies they used to have. They’re still playing Willy Wonka in the back room however. They’ve added an ice cream counter and appear to have obtained the space next door, adding an arcade. Cute, but I don’t see myself visiting again.

Spend your money somewhere else! Owners are disgusting and rude! If you plan on getting ice cream, they wont greet you make you wait then give you an attitude and make stupid smarty comments because its too much work for the bald guy to dish out ice cream.

I live on the East Coast but am in the area at least once a year and not kidding when I say my first stop is for truffles from this store to enjoy while I'm visiting, and my last stop is to get another dozen and some British candies to take home. I've always enjoyed the neat atmosphere and helpful staff!
You won't find a better stocked, massive selection and friendliest candy store for many many miles around! I highly recommend this store, and want to thank the owners for their amazing work!
My and my friend (both Hispanic) walked up to the register to check out and get ice cream when The younger man worker yelled "I saw you throw Somthing away" "what are you chewing" after saw me throw Somthing away (a toothpick) and saw me chewing (gum) he then accused me of "sampling" their product after looking at me through the cameras the whole time I was in the store and made my friend go get her pack of gum from her backpack across the store to prove it was hers and not from the store ‚he then gave a half asked "apology " it made us feel uncomfortable as we never expected to be treated that way in our hometown and me and my friend still had the decency to put back the candy but we will never go there again even though we have been going here since we were little girls. it broke our hearts. The situation was handled very poorly. So don't go to the candy vault after lunch if you have a tooth pick, don't throw anything away in there trash can because they'll asume it's their product, don't chew gum or anything chewable or just don't go there at all.
Great candy an ?

The owner or whoever was at the counter probably should’ve not opened something kids will be in very despicable and rude to customers and had and argument with my nephew who is only 3 like what kind of business you run there? Will definitely not come back
Has lots of vintage candy. The rice candy was stale and fudge was not fresh.

Nice selection.
The Candy Vault, a place for nostalgia! Whether you visit to just look/admire or to purchase from their HUGE variety of candies/treats definitely check it out...everything from candy cigarettes to wax candies, lots of chocolate and ice cream. Some have stated the staff were mean, I/we didn't find that to be the case. There's even an actual bank vault inside the store, which house's the Willy Wonka section. Give them a try
Absolutely love this place. The homemade dry ice candy is freaking amazing. Who knew? Ice cream is super tasty, and the owners/workers are always extremely friendly. My kids love a visit and when family or friends from out of town come to visit, the Candy Vault is always top of the list of things to do. Love ya Steven and fam-a-lam.
