The Glen Ellyn Sweet Shoppe is a nice little candy shop in downtown Glen Ellyn that has a varied selection of all kinds if candy and treats. From the normal fare of pre-wrapped, big name brands to by-weight gummy deliciousness to by-weight chocolate this place nearly covers all the bases. In fact, for a kid, this place seemingly offers it all. However, I feel like it's lacking something it's competitors offer... Wheaton's Popcorn Shop has fresh-popped popcorn, Graham's Chocolate has homemade chocolate (and a soda fountain), and candy shops in Naperville offer ice cream and cotton candy. Glen Ellyn Sweet Shoppe is just candy. Now, that doesn't stop them from executing well on their offering: the staff is friendly and the atmosphere is inviting, not to mention the fact that all customers under the age of 7 roll out of there with huge, ear-to-ear grins on their faces. The one thing I can't seem to figure out is if customers are allowed to peruse past the middle of the store... the cashier is setup right smack in the middle and feels like a gatekeeper over the rest of the floor, blocking easy passage to the chocolate in the back. If you're in the area then the Shoppe is worth a stop. But if you're looking for something a little more then this may not be the stop that fits the bill for you.
