Half Nuts

Best candy shop in West Allis! I’ve come here since i was a kid and they always have the best candy and best selection! And… they finally have Candy Raisins back!!! I’ve ordered online before too and it’s the fastest shipping imaginable! Such a great shop!

Amazing service. My ma told me how well she was treated last week on a delivery order she placed. The lady at Half Nuts went above and beyond contemporary customer service and treated her with exceptional respect and honored her requests.
When ever I travel through Milwaukee I will for sure stop and check this place out!!! I can’t wait. I thought about waiting to try the candy that was ordered for my dad, but it is unlikely any will be left by the time I get there.

One of the last good candy stores around. Lots of new types and yet they offer the regular favorites. Handmade chocolates and prepackaged items are both available. They are always very nice and helpful. Store could be updated a bit but other than that they are a great choice for candy and nuts.

I am updating my review. The owner is very nice, went above and beyond what most businesses would do to make sure her customer is satisfied, because of this I will be back. :)

I love this place. I am a candy addict and they have everything.
I threw a baby shower for my best friend, and one woman recommended sixlets in pink and silver instead of M&ms. Such a hit, I’ve gone back to get red, white, and blue for work federal holidays.
My mom and aunt love their licorice, my sister loves their sour patch kids. They are ridiculously cheap compared to most candy stores. Williams-​Sonoma sour candy is $ 15/​lb, thy average $ 2 – 5.
Two years ago a slight mishap happened with shipping. I called and the store wound up charging me way less bc of the computer error. Good customer service goes a long way.
I love this place. I ordered $ 25 worth of candy today, about 10 lbs, and I’m super excited for the delivery.

I went into Half Nuts over the busy holiday season and was very impressed with the operation. I was expecting it to be busy (and it was!), but the service was excellent. The staff greeted me immediately when I arrived and they helped me locate many of the items that I was looking for. When more customers entered the location, other staff were quickly on the scene to help them. The quality of the packaging and the products is top notch. It is much better than the nuts and candy you find in bins at the grocery store for sure! The prices seemed very competitive with overall value that exceeded my expectations. The web site is very complete with high quality photos of their vast inventory and the ability to order product online. This is definitely the one stop shop for those wanting to buy candy or nuts for family and friends!

Mary runs a tight ship and her staff is knowledgeable and friendly! Awesome combination. Half Nuts is part candy museum and part candy store. My sons, of course were stunned by all of the candy and couldn’t seem to take it all in. My husband and I meanwhile were like 2 kids, well you know the rest. Lots of «oh my gosh, remember these?» and «I can’t believe they still make these». And all the while, the 2 ladies behind the counter answered questions about the offerings. Great experience, we will be back again! Good time, great treats!

Decided to give it another shot, after my last visit (even though i said i wouldn’t). Can’t figure out why i tried it again, the candy wasn’t stale this time. I was lied to about the flavors of some of the hard candies i got though. No more.

Solid 3.5 star experience. Reminds me of how Illinois Nut company started out in Chicago. With a small store front but a more than ample offering of assorted candies both new and old, jellybeans and jellies, chocolates, nuts and more. I was dropping off a family member at the airport nearby and had some time to kill. I walked in thinking I would be spending a few dollars on nuts and maybe a taste of chocolate. However my father was with me and once he saw the assorted jellies, gummy bears and offering of Cadbury chocolates his desires got the best of him. I should note that with using a smart phone to check in via the Unilocal app you can score $ 2 dollars off a $ 10 dollar purchase or $ 5 dollars from $ 25. These offers have expiry dates by the way and may not be available for long.
As far as cost I thought most candies and chocolates were priced okay. Nuts were as costly as what you’d expect at a supermarket. There were some assorted nuts, pistachios & chex mix like varieties of snacks on special. Those that are on special are better priced than an average grocery. Most of their snacks can be purchased by weight, so that is a plus. The nut shop has parking and shares it with a beauty salon on its side.

I was very surprised to see all that Half Nuts had to offer. Went on a coworker’s recommendation, and I can see why she’s so excited about this quaint candy store. I bought a wasabi snack mix, walnuts, some pecan turtles and various candy for my husband, and we thoroughlly enjoyed each selection. Really reasonable prices from what I can tell.

Excellent selection.
Helpful staff.
