What a lovely old-time candy shop in the middle of Collingswood New Jersey. The candy jar is filled with nostalgia candies and other delicious treats including freeze dried candy. The service is always great. They love to talk about candymaking and I love that they have the old candies I used to eat as a child, definitely worth a visit. Be ready to buy all the candy.

I absolutely love The Candy Jar! This cozy little candy shop in Collingswood, New Jersey is a true gem. I was thrilled to find they carried Dubai chocolate — available in milk and dark — which I was so excited to try. The shop is full of homemade chocolates, nostalgic candies, old-fashioned sodas, and a huge variety of sweets that brought back so many memories. They also had what looked like ice cream or sorbet — perfect for a hot day — although I didn’t try it this time, it looked absolutely delicious. The decor was exactly what you’d hope for in a candy shop — colorful, charming, and full of playful signage and little details that made it feel warm and fun. There are even tables and chairs out front where you can sit and enjoy your sweet treat, which adds to the experience. The staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming. When I asked if I could take some video content in the store, they were happy to accommodate and made me feel right at home. The warm, inviting atmosphere really sets it apart from larger candy shops — it has all the right things packed into a charming, smaller space. I’m so glad I stumbled upon The Candy Jar and will definitely be visiting again soon!

Cute little candy store that's local. Wish they did chocolate covered strawberries and such but besides that, great

There is a small outdoor seating area at street curb side. Past era memorabalia in the form of candy. Not everyone knows this but they also have ice cream and gelato. Worth the parking aggravation. Many shops shops directly in the Collingwood / Haddon Ave. might be closed on Monday but I am not sure of this. A delicious delightful addition to the numerous shops and eateries directly on the Haddon Avenue Collingswood area.
