  I have been to Grandpa Joe’s a couple times now and I’d definitely recommend it! They have a wide variety of candies, snacks, drinks, and even small gifts and toys. I have found a lot of cool stuff including things I never thought I’d find. One of which being Joe Tea which I was a big fan of growing up on the east coast, and it’s not sold anywhere else, or so I thought until I found it here. Lot’s of other cool memories to remember here. I’d definitely recommend you stop by.

  Walking into Grandpa Joe’s Candy Shop felt like stepping straight into a childhood nostalgia moment, the kind that hits you before you even realize you’re smiling. The staff members were exceptionally helpful and genuinely knowledgeable, turning what could’ve been a quick stop into something memorable. One employee even pointed me toward a soda I never would’ve chosen on my own and explained the flavor profile like a connoisseur — and they were spot‑on. I jumped on their buy‑five‑get‑one‑free soda promotion, and wow, the selection is unreal. Flavors range from ginger blood orange to caramel banana, offering wild combinations I didn’t even know existed. Each bottle delivers its own personality, balancing throwback charm with bold creativity. The store practically sparkles with vibrant, immaculately organized displays that make browsing feel like entertainment in its own right. But what truly sets this place apart is the staff’s passion. They don’t just assist — they educate, recommend, and share their excitement in a way that’s completely infectious. Whether you’re hunting for a standout gift, craving something spectacular, or just wanting to treat yourself, Grandpa Joe’s absolutely delivers. The quality is top‑tier, the variety is unmatched, and the customer service is on another level. I’m already counting down the days until my next visit to explore even more of their incredible offerings. Do yourself a favor — get there soon. Live your best life!

  So much to look at had to walk around twice! Great candy selection great trinket selection and of course great soda collection! Didn't know there was an ice cream shop/parlor inside very spacious and clean. No bubblegum flavored ice-cream but I'll survive!

  This is a super fun spot for craft sodas and unique candy experiences! The selection is massive—rows of soda flavors you won’t find anywhere else, along with all kinds of nostalgic and international candy. There’s even a small arcade and an option to grab some ice cream, which adds to the charm. One of the coolest features is their rapid chiller, which cools your drink in just minutes—perfect if you want to enjoy it right away. It’s also great that they accept both debit and credit cards, making purchases quick and easy. The experience is especially memorable for kids, and the convenient location makes it an easy, fun stop for families or anyone looking for something a little different.
