The Sacramento Sweets Co

Wholly sundae come! This thing is huge! This business has every kind of chocolate goodness you can image plus ice cream sundaes. What’s not to love?

I’ve been there many times before with the family and I’ve never experienced such unprofessional business before. Either the workers were new (which is understandable, but they weren’t) or didn’t want to help me and would rather stand and have 1 associate take care of all the customers… My horrible experience started when she charged me twice and denied it! Then I had to go back in to politely say that I was charged twice while letting my ice cream melt because the workers wanted to argue that I was wrong… (The customer should never be wrong btw) After charging me the first time she comes back and rudely snatches the candy out of my hand to say «oh I forgot to weigh it». Keep in mind I was ordering more food and that’s when I was recharged (on the 2^nd order). I have never experienced such horrible customer service in my life. Then my friend who I had kindly paid for, who was waiting outside during this whole situation, told me he couldn’t drink his milkshake in disbelief he opened his a milkshake cup and we discovered THIS how disgusting. I will never come back to this place again extremely disappointed and dissatisfied.

Good ice cream. I got the raspberry swirl, with hot fudge. The ice cream comes out of a machine which is soft serve… They require an i. d with a card purchase, which I didn’t have. A cute atmosphere. I tried the walnut fudge so good and creamy. I also tried the bacon brittle, super good!

Found this little gem while walking through old Sacramento. What attracted me to it was the smell. of caramel wafting out the door. This place is heaven for caramel and chocolate lovers. The variety of caramel corn was quite good making it hard to choose, as with the brittle. Being able to taste samples of the brittles and caramel corn was a big help. I wanted to sample the macadamia nut caramel corn, but there was none, so the lady behind the counter improvised with caramel corn and macadamia nut brittle. Delicious! I also sampled the caramel bacon corn and bacon brittle. Both were amazing. Then I checked out the chocolates and couldn’t decide what to have, from peanut butter chocolate to chocolate covered rice krispies squares, I decided I better pick something fast before I had the whole store. I opted for a small piece of hazelnut brittle and macadamia nut brittle. I then returned to buy the caramel bacon corn. Next time I’m in Old Sacramento this place will be on my list of shops to revisit. The quality of the candy is so fresh and prices were consistent with other candy shops. This is a must visit if you are in the area.

Came here with my wife last night and couldn’t decide on what I wanted while my wife got chocolate covered rice Krispy and peanut butter brittle. The selection was insanely good as I couldn’t stop eyeing the possibility of ice cream cones especially the chocolate covered cones with sprinkles or nuts. Simply will try it another day but the sweets my wife bought we fantastic. 5 stars for Sacramento Sweets.

I’ve been a Sacramento Sweets customer for more than 15 years. I’ve lived on both the East and West coasts and now in the Midwest. Wherever I’ve lived, I’ve had my favorites shipped to me. I’ve referred other people and had others taste my goodies, who are now frequent customers. While Sac Sweets has MANY goodies, my favorite and go-​to is the Peanut Brittle Caramel Apple! OMG!!! Talk about YUMMY!!! I order them at least 8 at a time with a pound of peanut brittle. *** HAPPY DANCE*** every time my shipment arrives. We’ve even had a shipping snafu, but the owner quickly remedied the problem and I continue to be a happy, returning customer. I cannot come to the Bay Area and not make a trip to Sac, just for my Sacramento Sweets!

This is a good place to go if you want to gain 10 pounds in a weekend. Macadamia nut brittle… SO GOOD!

«Fresh squeezed lemonade» was basically water with lemon and is overpriced, when I tried to put sugar in it to sweeten it up I found a small fly in my cup!!!

Prices reasonable.
Tried the Chocolate Swirl. It was nasty!!! Chocolate tasted fake – worst than hershey chocolate syrup you would make chocolate milk with.
Two stars for fast service and good customer service. Other than that… I would have expected more quality from them.

Noelle’s Unilocal Notebook
The Sacramento Sweets Company is one of the few spots we frequent after our monthly visits to the California State Railroad Museum. Upon entering you can feast your eyes on the most amazing candy confections and sweet treats. It smells so sweet inside– fresh cotton candy, caramel popcorn, fudge, etc. On our last trip here we purchased freshly made pink cotton candy and the most delicious honeycomb candy (similar to Violet Crumble). Fantastic customer service and sweet sweets make this a favorite in my Unilocal Notebook!!!
Noelle’s Notes
Friendly customer service
Fresh Cotton Candy :)

Haven’t been here for years! The one thing that I remember about this place was the wide variety of soft serve flavors they had. Now if and when visiting Old Sacramento especially during their hot summer months, you’ll see various ice cream shops in the vicinity but where you wanna end up is here. Everywhere else is a scoop shop, SSC is the only soft serve spot and they also have a wide selection of sweets and treats to choose from.
This place gives you an old school candy shop feel when you step inside. Caramel, taffy, popcorn, brittle, chocolates, you name it, they have it here. The workers are very nice here and the prices here are very reasonable. After looking over the soft serve flavors, I decided on a Cherry-​Vanilla Soft serve which kinda reminded me of Dairy Queen but ten times better.
If you ever visit the Old Sacramento area, make sure you put The Sacramento Sweets Company on your itinerary! ALOHA!!!

I never really knew what this place was called — I always referred to it as «the brittle store in Old Sac.» Well, this last Sunday my boyfriend and I decided to walk around Old Sac, something neither of us has done since we were kids, and I had to stop by the brittle store.
It was a warm day, so we decided to share a soft-​serve cone. I let my boyfriend pick and he chose chocolate. They have a short list of permanent flavors as well — vanilla, coffee, strawberry, red raspberry, butter pecan, green apple, black cherry, and tropical orange. Something interesting about their flavors are they are actually vanilla with the flavor swirled through. I like this, but if you’re not a big vanilla fan, maybe you won’t. By the time you eat half of it, the swirl is gone and it’s just vanilla. We got it on a sugar cone, which was tasty. They also have specialty waffle cones and a «double-​header» cone that fits two flavors of soft-​serve side by side. I’ll have to try that one day just because it looks cool haha (instagram worthy, ya know).
The Sweets Co. offers a variety of other sweets as well. They have sundaes, milkshakes, floats, smoothies, fudge, marshmallow treats, caramel corn, chocolate-​dipped-​everything and, of course, brittle!
I got three flavors of brittle — cashew, sesame, and coconut. The cashew is my favorite. They are not overly sweet or hard, which is good for your teeth. They are priced by the pound, but you do not have to get an even weight. The girl helping me would just break off pieces and put them in a little plastic bag until I said to stop. This is very helpful because I don’t know what «half a pound» or whatever weight would look like. The three bags together came to about half a pound, so around $ 6.
When I was there the staff was all young, female workers who were surprisingly friendly. Maybe the cynic in me just expects young females to be rude? Ha. They all asked if we needed help and were friendly.
If you’re in the area and looking for sweets, this is the place!

I was delivered a fudge peanut delight, here in Los Angeles, from a friend… Tasted pretty good, although wasn’t as salty as I would’ve liked.

If you have a sweet tooth, then you’ll love this place. We always get dipped cones, flavored popcorn and they have lots of candies to choose from. When we have visitors coming to Sacramento, it gives us an excuse to come.

Came in here just to buy a drink, and ended up with candies and chocolate covered licorice.
Great place to stop in for snacks!
Pros:
–Friendly welcome
–Big assortment of chocolate covered… everything
–Drinks available
–Reasonable prices
Cons:
–Employees took their time working on our order

I love this place. I used to come here when I was a kid. IMHO they have the BEST carmel corn anywhere! We usually ride our bikes to old sac and stop here for a treat.

I came here with my family last week and had purchased a couple items; coffee soft serve, vanilla soft serve, strawberry soft serve and a bag of sampler brittle. I did not enjoy the soft serve at all. The coffee and strawberry flavors were odd and the ice cream was so soft that it was literally melting. The brittle was good but I wouldn’t make a special trip to come here again.

I expected more. Such great reviews, so I was really looking forward to coming here. My husband had a chocolate pancake cone with soft serve. I tried a bite; It was O K. I wouldn’t suggest it tho. I had a chocolate dipped licorice. That was good! But I wouldn’t go out of my way to have it again.

One star only because you cant give neg stars: (
Came for ice cream. The service was awful!!! We tried to ask about flavors… no offering we asked for a sample… they don’t offer samples. Unless you read the small hand written sign about the ice cream… YOU HAVE NO IDEA YOUR PAYING FOR VANILLA WITH A SWIRL OF FLAVOR UNTIL YOU GET IT… NO MATTER WHAT FLAVOR ICE CREAM YOU GET.
SO SO SO DISAPPOINTED!!!

All kinds of wonderful sights and smells in here. I was too full after dinner to indulge in anything, so it was all literally eye candy for me! However, I wish I would have bought those Tabasco Jelly Bellies to have with my eggs the next day!

It’s like walking into heaven. Being surrounded by chocolate, ice cream, popcorn, and an abundance of other sweets is seriously heavenly. and the smell! Even if you weren’t planning on going on, just walking past the building you can smell the delicious sweet aromas that linger. They are likely to draw you in. And once inside, you wont be disappointed.
If I’m in old sac, I’m likely going to be stopping in here for soft serve and possibly many other sweets. They have fresh waffle cones and sugar cones too! For a little over $ 5 i like to get the sundae. Ice cream in a waffle cone with fudge, nuts, whipped cream, and a cherry on top.
All dieters beware. This place makes you forget/​no longer care about your health. I am always easily persuaded to stop in and rack up calories. No regrets!

It’s like dessert heaven in here. First, you’re just lured in by the sweet scent of flavored popcorn and brittle, then next thing know you’re thrown into a world of never-​ending sugary treats that’ll melt in your mouth or crackle with each bite.
As soon as we walked in, every angle captivated us – from the humongous caramel brittles sticking against the clear glass, to the chocolate and truffle pieces beautifiully laid out all over their counter, posing as if they knew I was about to take their picture. and I did ~
Ice cream, milkshakes, and floats were also available deeper into the store. You have so many options for different cones to choose from: regular, small, double, waffle, flavored waffle… I usually already have trouble simply picking which flavor of ice cream I want, let alone having to decide its container… first world problems, indeed.
I wish I could stay longer, and eat more, and indulge until my stomach explodes. That’d be a good way to die, right?

This place has every sweet treat imaginable. Popcorn, fudge, brittle, taffy, ice cream, floats, milkshakes, lollipops, chocolate… You might get diabetes from just walking inside.
I went for a strawberry soft serve cone. They don’t have just any soft serve though… the vanilla soft serve is infused with a flavor of your choice! Their machine is pretty neat, they just click a button for your flavor and then swirl away. They have sugar cones, waffle cones, and specialty cones! You can even get a double header which is two flavors of soft serve for those who can’t decide.
Great dessert stop in Old Sac. There’s a ton of dessert shops but this place combines every dessert into one location!
