Generic candy found at any gas station was extremely marked up. A packet of pop rocks $5 and a tube of sour slime candy was $15. Any gas station would sell these for $4 max. Although the prices are too expensive for a lot of the items, the ice cream is really good. Also the service was lovely.

Got 5 small pieces of chocolate for $27. They didn't have the prices shown that I could see or I never would have gotten them but didn't feel right walking out after getting rang up. Not worth over $5 for one small piece of chocolate that's not even as good as sees candy.

We went today on a Sunday. Smelled horrible when we walked in. Someone used restroom and left door wide open. The girl working very unfriendly. The prices are ridiculous. $5.99 and $6.99 for nerds. Go to Rocket Fizz in SLO, hands down better with great prices.

Very expensive (it's $5.99 PER PIECE- and they are just normal-sized pieces - of chocolate) and the chocolate didn't taste fresh to me. In fact, both of my pieces (one toffee, one almond bark) tasted like cleaning solution - as if someone moved the chocolate while wearing cleaning gloves or something! I would have taken it back since it wasn't edible, but we were already on the road home. The location is great, but would not go back.

Spent the evening walking around with my family and stop here to get hot chocolate, It was completely over priced for a Keurig hot chocolate, and tasted awful. Would like to highly suggest not to get hot chocolate from them. All and all it seems all very over priced! We spent $8 on a tiny cube of fudge.

Highway robbery. Candy that sells at CVS for $1.50 is $8 here. Prices aren't clearly marked either and when they are you're charged more at the register.
Beyond expensive. Like crazy. We got 2 little bags (more on that later) and I added some jelly beans to my bag. It was $23!!! If you do the math: their candy is THIRTY FOUR dollars for ONE pound. It's like $8.50 for 1/4 of a lb (so 4 oz.) Also: a regular box of nerds (with the two separate flavors), not the movie theater /dollar store size one was $6.99 a basic candy bar was $4.99 !?! Are you nuts!? Also the pre-packaged Mike and Ike's were super stale. We ended up buying a box from Walmart the next day to make ok for it. ($1.24 for a 4 oz box. Not $8) So -- You can no longer pick your own candy amounts. They are now pre-packaged in little 3x3 inch bags. So you can't pick only a couple of each thing: you have to get their pre determined size, which sucks if you only want like one sour rope and some snow caps. We used to love this place and would visit it every Paso trip. Never again. I'll go to Walmart or a gas station. This place is highway robbery.

6.99 for a candy bar. Watched people like us walk in look at prices and leave. 9.99 for a single Pez dispenser. Nice store, good service, but prices were insane.

Extremely over priced. wow! Thought i would take the kiddos and holy cow was it way over priced..... $3 for a rock candy s******* a tiny bag of candy corn was $8!!!! Ridiculous.

I love the variety of candy, but this place is SO overpriced. I'm unsure how they have been able to stay in business.

Seriously my kids love to go into a candy store every single place we go let me just say get over yourself SLO Sweets you carry nothing special you cannot get at Walgreens other than Gelato prepackaged jolly ranchers 8 in a bag $5, Halloween peeps $5.99 ridiculous you should be ashamed , and your employees spent more time talking to each other than customers, they guy in front of me was paying for his gelato purchase a whooping $51 and they wouldn't take his $100 bill seriously your high prices you had change for that...bad service and over priced so disappointing
