5 Stars from Coast to Coast

★★★★★

"I grew up in San Diego and this is THE candy shop I always dreamed would exist. Every piece of candy I forgot about, they have it."

Rachel M. Yelp Review
★★★★★

"Ordered the Classic Gift Box for my dad's birthday — he cried. Actual tears. He hadn't tasted Candy Buttons since 1971. Worth every penny."

James T. Google Review
★★★★★

"Stopped in as a tourist and ended up shipping three boxes home. The artisan truffles are legitimate high-end chocolate. This place is special."
