(Response to Owner is below) I went there today to see if they had gel pens for fake tattoos. A lady kept watching me everywhere from the cash register. Weird experience and won't be back. Edit: Thank you for your response. However, my concern was not about general attentiveness, it was about being singled out. There were several other customers in the store, yet I was the only one being closely followed and monitored, which made me feel uncomfortable and unwelcome. Given that I was the only person being treated this way, it came across as racial profiling. That is a serious concern, and your response does not acknowledge or address it. Additionally, the employee speaking negatively about me to another staff member was inappropriate and unprofessional. I expect concerns like this to be taken seriously, not dismissed. I hope you reflect on this and take meaningful steps to ensure all customers are treated fairly and respectfully.

From start to finish, there was never a dull moment! Dippin’ Dots to bubble gums to Bob Ross sodas, they have it all! I’ll be back soon 😊

This shop is so cute!! My son needed sweet, salty, spicy, and sour candy for his science fair experiment and we were having trouble finding spicy and salty options. The girl at the desk was very patient and helpful. She was able to suggest candies for each of the required tastes and my son was able to conduct a successful experiment. 5/5 would recommend. We will definitely visit again!
