Cupid’s Candy Shop

Pretty good selection! This store is conveniently located off of Main Street and is a great place to walk after having dinner Downtown. The staff were friendly people.
My only wish was that there would have been more European sweets. I really was wanting some Torrone!
Needless to say, I am definitely looking forward to coming back!

I was really excited to come here and use my LocalGruv deal when I found out that they had British imports. Sadly, aside from getting all of the way home and finding 2 of the 5 items I got were out of date I also got overcharged,
The deal I got was $ 10 so I selected 5 items that totaled $ 9:90 (calculated by the price list they had displayed). Of course meaning there was 10c overage only the cashier then tried telling me I still had to pay $ 5.80! When I pointed out the deal I just handed her was $ 10 her response was ”Oh, I thought it was $ 5″ before then tapping away at buttons on the register for a few minutes and telling me I still owed $ 1:50 (15:80 minus the 5 additional she didn’t account for before. What sort of maths is this?). I had already been stood there well over 5 minutes and had to get back to my car so I didn’t bother to argue it and paid before leaving.
Sad that when I got home I noticed the dates and 2 of them were meant to be eaten by August! For some reason the video I uploaded isn’t displaying in the gallery but you can see from the pictures I have uploaded. (note: The UK displays dates differently to the US and have the day first then the month).
That aside they do have a good selection of items but not many are labelled with prices and be sure to check the dates first.

Just a gem! All the candies you remembered as a kid is there. Friendly neighborhood candy shop you must visit!

This shop has a variety of old fashioned candies that we love. Buyer BEWARE; they overcharged us by $ 14.95, which was half of the total bill of $ 30.15. Granted, we should have challenged the bill, but we didn’t. When we realized that we were overcharged, we went back and were refunded the amount in cash, less the tax. Needless to say we won’t be going back.

What a fun store! Lots of old-​school candies and sodas, great customer service. A must for anyone with a sweet tooth!

Love this place. It’s so cute and welcoming with its bright colors and fun music. I love the variety of candies. They have several candies that I usually can’t find anymore. It’s amazing! Definitely recommend it to anyone who has a sweet tooth.

Cupid’s greets everyone with a friendly greeting and a strong whiff of popcorn, cupid’s lacks the diversity and depth of candy choices like powell’s.
they carry the basics. bulk candy, and jelly bellies.

made with glucose sugar, would skip next time.

We almost always stop by here when we’re in downtown Pleasanton. Mr. M and the kids have very strong sweet tooths… sweet teeth?
We always have fun perusing the old school favorites that remind us of our childhood, the new and interesting creations, and the gourmet offerings. And we never leave empty handed.
This time, we brought the youngest here to kill time while her sister got to attend a trampoline party nearby. I think the little one got the better deal. Mr. M was fascinated by a slab of old fashioned toffee that comes with a hammer so you can break it up and eat it. Little M used her allowance to buy lots of treats, some of which she even shared with her big sister. And I delighted in a bag of choco-​rocks… looks like rocks, tastes like rich hot chocolate.
Speaking to the new owners, we found out that when they heard that Cupid’s Tooth was going out of business, they approached to buy. Pleasanton is fortunate they did. It would be a shame for this little gem to fade away.

Yum. Lots of fun candy all in one big store! I try not to come here too often. I’m getting older and can’t eat junk like I used to. However, my nephew loves it here and I periodically treat myself to looking at everything they have and picking out a few tasty treats. I never leave unhappy, there is so much to choose from! Yes, it’s a bit pricey, but oh well…

Best candy store in town! Great variety as well as beverages! Staff is always friendly! Yes prices are a tad high, but come on great location! Especially if you are headed home after the first Wednesday of the month street fairs! You can stop by and great for kids!

Wonderful! Cute little shop full of candy surprises. Bulk, all flavors of jelly beans, salt water taffy, glass bottled soda’s, vintage candy, insect candy. Cupid has a sweet tooth and this is his Candy Shop.

$ 2.40 for a candy bar? This was our first trip into the candy store. Unless you are looking for something unique and vintage candy wise you can’t find anywhere else, don’t shop here unless you don’t mind spending at least double for what you would at Walgreen’s say for example. I understand they have to make money. The store is very cute inside however and well organized. I couldn’t find the vintage candy I was looking for — ice cube chocolates and bazooka gum. I expected a better selection than what was offered. 3 stars for a local unique business for kids but had to take a couple off for the lack of inventory and prices.

Super cute store! Had lots of great candies, including my favorite, violet crumble. I am not a fan of playing religious music in stores, but it is their shop so they can do what they like. I will go back to look around and taste more.

I came to Cupid’s Tooth with my 4-​year-​old daughter. And somehow I felt like *I* was the kid in the candy store.
If you’re just seeking to fill a bag with jelly beans and gummies and fruities, you can certainly do that here. That’s what my daughter did, and she loved it.
But Cupid’s Tooth also offers some ultra-​pricey gourmet high-​end candies and chocolates, as well as some of your favorites in turn-​back-​the-​clock classic wrappers. I was a child of the 80’s, but I still felt the childhood nostalgia from seeing Hershey’s with Almonds in 1950’s-style wrappers. Their procurement folks here deserve a high-​five.
My personal favorite was the fridge filled with obscure soda pop brands in all types of flavors. I hadn’t had a soda for a few months because they’re just plain unhealthy, but I brushed that aside out of respect for the their awesome assortment of flavors. I couldn’t turn down a wild cherry vanilla cream soda!
Go grab lunch at one of the many restaurants nearby, then take a stroll over to Cupid’s Tooth. it’s a terrific contributor to the classic, different-​era ambiance that makes downtown Pleasanton so lovable.

Most of the candy in this place is very overpriced. Unless you are looking for something retro or special, you’ll want to save your normal candy purchases for the discount store or drug store.
The owners don’t always treat their employees very nice either. That’s a big negative in my book.

Fantastic selection, including six or seven flavors of Pop-​rocks. They’ve also got an entire wall of jellybelly flavors and another wall of gummi-​items. Pretty much every kind and flavor of non-​chocolate candy you can imagine. There isn’t much in the way of chocolates although given the handmade chocolate place down the street that may have been a wise business decision to not compete.
The prices are pretty much what you would expect from a candy shop… there isn’t much variation in this particular market… a ¼ of jelly beans costs about the same in Pleasanton as it does anywhere else.
A great addition to the town and I hope they make it…

My entire family loves visiting this candy specialty shop! We can find all of our favorite candies from the past to the present! We love the different types of licorice, circus peanuts, soda pops, sweet tarts, smarties, and so much more! This may be a little hard to find, but look on Neal St. right next to the Dairy!
And watch out parents, your kids won’t be the only ones going Ga Ga over the goodies!

we have all heard the expression– like a kid in a candy store! well take one step into this sweet little place and your in cavity heaven.
this is definitely a place for both young and old.

This Shop and the owner are FABTASTIC! What a delightful edition to downtown Pleasanton. I stumbled in after wandering around downtown. The candy is retro from 1950’s to current. Whatever one dreams of from childhood it is here! I am looking forward to having my next bash where the candy will be all 1970’s yum yums. Note: old school soda on hand as well. Besides all the fun blast from my past candy (I never thought I’d see again in this lifetime) wonderful new things exist as well. I picked up a pop rock’s science kit and a bottle of bugs for my nephew to eat. When Weds. Night downtown starts in the summer, and the Concerts, and Movie Night this place will be a mad zoo of eager, savvy Candy Lovers. Check out the Web Site it is AWESOME. I included a picture of the owner and half the shop. Cheers

Really cute shop. Had Ice Cubes! Remember those? From our hey day. Really wonderful milk chocolate that is so full of milk and fat that it just melts on your tongue. They also had some other candies that I had not seen in years. It was nicely laid out and there are t-​shirts and gifts.
I think I would have rated them higher, i.e. a 5, if they had more stuff. I was a bit surprised and maybe it’s cause they are fairly new? I think the owner should look at some of the web sites out there where you can get candies and then order some of those. I would say since I did see some English candies, that they should also maybe go for some Belgium chocolate and some German candies/​chocolates, i.e. Milka, Ritter Sport, Kinder Eggs (Easter is coming up). Most places don’t carry these and he would make a killing.
I’ll be back even if it’s for the Ice Cubes and Black Jack gum.
