Such an awesome place. So many items to choose from with a lot of them from my childhood. Owner is amazing wealth of information and so nice. Highly recommend this place for any sweet tooth like minded individuals.

What a hidden gem. If you have not been here, you need to go. I dont recommend you take kids with you because youll be stuck there and broke. What a trip down memory lane. Hes only open til 5pm but if you see the stuff out front, hes open. Its easy to miss, but its right after the Micky Ds on East 22nd, across from Reid Park. Definitely a must go to spot. You wont regret it.

Awesome place to visit. Lots to choose from and well stocked! We are on our way over now!

Wonderful store with a friendly owner who has an obvious passion for bringing joy to children. His store is a treat for adults too, filled with knick knacks, antiques and collectors items that will bring back memories. Huge variety of candy and the owner knows the history behind it all. This stop made my kids day.

This place was SO COOL! Alot of old fashioned candy and cool antiques. The guy working in the store was really friendly. He seemed to really enjoy what he does. The fudge was amazing and prices were cheap. Will definitely go again next time we are in Tucson.

What an amazing little candy store. There is something for everyone. I assume the owner was the one who helped us out today 10/10/21 and he was just the sweetest person. We will definitely be back.

This is the neatest old-fashioned candy store! The owner is super friendly and helpful. They have bulk candy for 11.95 a pound...including a lot of sugar free candy. They have soda pops you cant find anywhere else, Harry Potter candy, huge gummy bears, and every pop rock flavor. Every kid gets to spin a wheel for a free piece of candy. I will definitely go back.

I took my 70 year old Mother here and my 3 sisters. We ALL had nostalgia hits from the huge variety of amazing candies and treats in this tiny, unique shop.The owner tells a great tale and the selection of saltwater taffy is insane. Maple bacon, dill pickle, prickly pear, and about 70 other flavors! Come here for your treats, this is a gem.

Awesome place. The owner was very nice. Not your traditional candy store, the candy is a little pricey but you have to remember, you will not find such candy anywhere else, so its worth it.

Super friendly owner! Great place to bring kids or adults. Beautiful collection of memorabilia, candy, and antiques. Fun stuff for all ages really. Lots of retro candies and something like 70 flavors of salt water taffy.

Looking for a candy from your childhood? Want to try a new one? Pop into the Purple Penguin and discover your favourite new candy!

You can tell the owner loves candy and really enjoys what he does. Its a really clean candy shop and theres tons of stuff to look at.The location makes it hard to find. But it is definitely worth it. We got a ridiculous amount of candy for a good price.

Coolest candy shop in town. great variety of candies and drinks. friendly atmosphere. 10/10 recommended

The owner was soo incredibly nice! They have a giant selection of candies & sugar free too. Basically every candy you want or dreamed of is right here. We really enjoyed our first time over there and I will be sure to come back again! Me and my children bought soo many candies, he also gave my children 3 pieces of free candy. The owner made our trip in an experience. Thank you very much we enjoyed our visit.

Old school candies and sodas and lots of new candies too. Nice owner...support small business!

What a walk down memory lane. Made out first visit yesterday and will definately be returning. The owner was a delight and definately had the knowledge of sodas and the candies. Loved the stories. Loved all the antiques displayed as well. Even played a few keys on the piano. Just a great fun place that will definitely put a smile on your face as soon as you enter

This store is a walk through childhood!! We were greeted like we were family!!!

It was a great experience candy I havent seen in forever and candy I havent seen ever the employee really knows his candy

Wonderful little nook. Noticeably made to be an experience and not just a store. No square foot has been wasted. Very diverse selection of candy (and bottles of vintage soda), primary rule for inclusion seems to be what is INTERESTING, what you will see and immediately want to TRY. Definitely worth going to at least once, you will probably want to go back. Very friendly and invested owner, has plenty to tell you about the candy if youre interested.

Has most of what you can remember.The rest of the candy you have forgotten.

I love this store the owner the memorabilia and during covid, they still were setting to serve the public! Ateon this establishment, it ricks!!!!

My wife and I came here on a friends recommendation and we were not disappointed! The owner was as sweet as the candy he was selling. Just be prepared to learn some fun facts about candy!

It was such a great experience and the owner is so entertaining.

Exquisite, and I barely scratched the surface. The proprietor, a wizard of no small magic, dispenses both arcane sugar and its various origin stories with aplomb and charm.Drive, dont run. This place is the real deal.

Great little shop! The owner is very knowledgeable and kind.

Hes absolutely awesome fun shop good decent prices even and nice to mingle and talk with bunch of kool lil games for lil kids but not a huge place do I take my youngest son while the others r in skool

The owner here is fantastic. He is knowledgeable and friendly. The antiques here are amazing. And you can find a wide variety of candies from past to present.

Great prices considering how much old school candy they have, old school sodas. So many kinds of taffy gotta check it out

A MUST visit for nostalgia fans!! Dino is the owner and you can tell his love and passion for what he does. This is the first place to try if you have a craving for something long forgotten, are searching for hard to find items, or want to discover something that youve never seen. Great decor and memorabilia add to this unique and wonderful find. Highly recommend a visit!

This place is amazing. The selection is great and the owner is a great guy. Makes you feel like a kid again. 10/10 will be back in.

Amazing place! The owner is fantastic and truly enjoys what he does. Such a great selection of candies and old school sodas.

Tons of candy, drinks, and other accessories for a decent price. They even have the root beer from Charlie and The Chocolate Factory :)

Great selection of taffy!

Theres a little bit of magic here, and thats hard to find nowadays. Walk in with an open mind and youll surely leave with a smile.

Amazing! The owner took so much time with us and even opened the store up for us when he was supposed to be closed due the the parking lot being top coated. What was fun is that 4 more people walked in while we were there. Nothing is going to stop people from enjoying this gem.

This place is super great. Brought back all kinds of childhood memories of candy and goodies we used to eat. The antiques really make it quite unique. We took the kids on Mothers day for our 1st time, and they loved it too. The fudge was out of this world! Thanks for a great experience!

The shop guy is super friendly and knowledgeable about candy and truely seems to enjoy his job. They carry Pennsylvania Dutch Birch Beer, and like a million types of salt water taffy. Plus there are every flavored beans and chocolate frogs. Really good prices on everything too.

Like walking into the past. So nostalgic. Different kinds of old school candy and new stuff also. Wax lips, candy cigarettes, Chico stick, Zero bars, big hunks! Service was great. Owner walked us through the store showing us everything.

This store was absolutely amazing to say the least!!! Candies I havent seen or had in eons and antiques as well. Found some great older Transformers toys for the kid and still not even done yet!!! The owner was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable about anything and everything and had THE best customer service ever. I will continue to visit this place, if not for candy but for the memories.

I love this place! The owner is so sweet, the place takes me back to when I was a kid. I have recommended so many people to this place to get hard to find candy.

I loved this place! Wow, they had so much of the old penny candy, taffy, bottled drinks we enjoyed from way back! I will be going back again and again and maybe get one of the neat antiques as well!!

Sweet man that owns the place, lots of older candy and makes it fun for the kids.

Very cool little candy shop, full of candies I havent seen in years. Owner was very friendly, and knowledgeable about his products.

What a fun and an exciting experience stepping inside, so many memories flash into mind. Loved it.

The shop is fairly small but it is jam packed with old fashioned candy and a few antiques. The staff was super friendly and welcoming, they even gave my toddler a free lollipop. It was awesome to find some of my favorite childhood treats.

Lots of salt water taffy and other old fashioned treats! Friendly and helpful owner!

Not really anything special.

This store is definitely worth a visit.I went in for an east coast childhood favorite and there it was.my elusive mallow cup.its like a reeses cup but with marshmallow.I would bet your favorite candy memory is there.

I am in awe. They have many different candies and then some. I know that I will go back again and again.

The man that I talked to who was working here is incredibly knowledgable about EVERYTHING in the store. There is so much to see, and it all looks appetizing.

Amazing service and the shop is even more incredible.... Bring the kids abd prepaeforthem to be mesmerized

This was our 1st time in the store. We had a blast looking at all of the old collectibles and finding candy from our childhood. We tried Snozzberry soda for the 1st time.... Yum !! Definetly going to visit more often

Old fashioned general store with loads of candy from the past. Kids live the place.
