San Jose Candy Kitchen

I wish I could give this place zero stars! The owners keep the door locked during business hours, and they've cordoned off the store, making it impossible to browse the candy on the shelves. Instead, you're asked to look at a binder on a table to choose what you want. Why not just convert to an online store? I'm so disappointed! Plus, I had to pay $10 for parking. When I inquired about the popcorn flavors, the clerk turned away and read them off the shelf so quietly that I had to ask him three times what he said! It's just so frustrating! If you're the owner, you lost out on a sale and a potential regular customer. You should seriously consider transforming your business into an online shop because it feels more like a catalog business now. If you had allowed us and our kids to browse like they do at IT'S SUGAR, we would have happily spent $75 at your store instead. Such a letdown!

I tried the caramel popcorn and it was okay. They recently introduced pani puri, which was quite good.

The Cotton Candy Ice Cream was a bit too sweet for my taste, but the Vanilla Ice Cream was excellent. The customer service was friendly, although the restaurant felt a bit disorganized.

AVOID AVOIDTiny bugs crawling inside of boxes and strawberries. Seriously disgusting.

My roommate got me the Indian popcorn and after checking out the online menu I went to get us a box of fudge from this cute little shop. Everything is great but we've agreed that we're just getting a full box of the rajbhog fudge next time. They give you 5 quarter-pound sticks for just $20. The sticks look small but we've been savoring each bite and I think this is the best fudge I've ever had. Honestly outrageously good value. Give these folks some love. I didn't see the rajbhog at first bc it was separate from the other fudge, but the person serving it (the owner I think? seemed really happy to get it for me when I asked. Not sure why it's set aside, maybe it's an acquired taste? If so you should acquire it. It's somehow rich and light at the same time, not too sweet, and melts in your mouth. Yum ?
