We decided to stop by this little candy shop in search of some fancy lollipops for Valentine's Day. The store is located in Ravenswood at 4704 N. Damen and is just the cutest thing. It is very small on the inside but the shelves are packed with the yummiest looking candy all displayed in glass containers that make the candy look beautiful. Immediately upon entering we were greeted in a very friendly way and were offered samples. Then we were left alone, which is nice in such a small store because being followed around can make you feel uncomfortable. I could immediately see that the store did not have exactly what I was looking for, however since we were in a candy store there was no way we were leaving empty handed. My daughter picked out some heart shaped Valentine's candy that she gobbled right up. I had a hard time deciding between all of the gummy flavors and shapes, taffy, and chocolate covered stuff. I finally settled on brightly colored, candy coated pretzel balls. They were so pretty in the plastic bag they come in and tasty as well. A little on the pricey side, though. I think all of the candy is priced around $2.25 per 1/4 pound and, at least in this house, a 1/4 pound doesn't go very far. Amy's is also known for its caramels, which we didn't have the opportunity to try.
The store is open seven days a week from 11 AM until 8 PM. It is located right off of the Damen Brown Line stop and there is metered parking out front. This candy shop would be a really awesome place to shop for birthday party favors or a baby shower (so many cute pastel colored candies) if you have the right budget, which, sadly, I never have.
