Uptown Candy

Limited selection. Gummies were hard. Double check your receipt– we were charged full price for one pound of candy despite our candy bag weighing .25.

Whimsical enough, but overpriced in the way that shops aiming for a nostalgic feel always tend to be these days (oh the irony). Good selection of sweets with their bulk candy. Shelves a little sparse with the other candy and gift item offerings. All feels a little too slick and sterile to give you the «kid in a candy store» feels.

Great selection, good candy, fun atmosphere.

Oklahoma mid July can be brutal. Like 100º heat brutal. And sometimes your car’s AC just can’t keep up.
I’ve had Uptown Candy on my radar from awhile and it wasn’t until I saw, covered in a mid July sweat, their sign on the corner for gelato that reeled me in.
Their entire shop is so cool. It’s so whimsical and fun. But as we all know I wasn’t after any jelly bellys or chocolates. It was the gelato.
I was sad they didn’t have many flavors… but the flavors they did have were solid! I had the smaller of the two sizes ($ 5 i think) which was about what I had anticipated. I mixed two flavors– half vanilla bean, half pistachio. Both were exceptional.
It’s very accessible in Classen Curve, a part of town I can be often found in. I’ll definitely be back soon!

The phrase «like a kid in a candy store» can be used quite accurately here. This place was just awesome to walk around in. It shares a space with a mini Babies R Us next door. There are tons of choices for those with a serious sweet tooth. They have everything from a «fill your own bag» station to unique Rice Krispies inspired treats.
The best part is the Gelato. Granted they only have about 5 flavors to choose from. But who cares? Especially when it’s super delicious and it’s in a candy store! A few friends and I walked in on a hot day so it was perfect. The lady managing the store couldn’t be nicer.
For those with little ones, they also offer catering services for birthdays. I would probably hire them for mine. :-)
