YUM! Every kind of candy, treat, confection, and concoction you can imagine will be found here. Homemade ice cream, fudge, and every kind of everything that you have never even dreamed of. It is probably the closest thing you will come to actually standing in Willy Wonkas Chocolate Factory. Busy, but the people who work there are friendly and provide fast service without making you feel rushed to pick something with a liner behind you. (This is awesome when you have an entire girls soccer team tasting and testing and deciding and changing their minds!). Favorite place to get a treat in the Bend area... well, lets get real honest... favorite place in OR to get a treat, and quite possibly WA and ID, too!

Warning, do not take your kids in unless you are prepared to buy something. There is candy of every imaginable kind in every nook and cranny, even lined up the walls in some places. Selection is quite impressive. Old classics to all kinds of specialties including foreign and local. I saw some Seattle chocolates there that I had only seen in Seattle before. There is a fresh cotton candy machine. The only disappointing thing was the gelato. I tried multiple flavors but they all seemed a little too sweet. Only finished half my cup and even my kid didn't want it.

We stopped into this place after dinner because we wanted some ice cream/gelato. It's a fun little place with lots of crazy novelties and of course Gelato. While it's not the "Best" gelato I have ever had, it was very good. I tried probably five different flavors before deciding to get the hazelnut (not what they call it) and peanut butter. The hazelnut was creamy and full of flavor, I enjoyed the fact that it had Nutella in it. The peanut butter was equally creamy and full of goodness. While there is a little bit of chocolate in it, they didn't go overboard and ruin it with too much. I hate when peanut butter ice cream is ruined by chocolate. If you are in the downtown area and want a desert or a fun shop with lots of sweets and novelties, this is it!

I've been to many candy shops around the country, and this place is right on par with some of the best! A HUGE selection of everything from bulk, to foreign to classics. I doubt you'll be disappointed when you go to Powell's, that is unless you hate candy.
(4)OC R.
Great selection. $10 per pound bulk candy is pricey. The older lady that owns the place never seems to be happy.

Buy local, go to Goody's!

The most fun candy shop I have ever been to. It was totally cute inside. They had tons of Candy! Old types of candy, new types of candy, every flavor Jelly Belly, twenty colors of M&Ms, a whole shrine to Willy Wonka, and the best music selection. The music was my favorite part of the experience. The songs were all about sweets, candy or sugar. It was great. Powell's did not disappoint the 7 year old girl still thriving inside me!

This is like going to Willie Wonka's chocolate factory. You walk in and you are speechless, surrounded by gelato, chocolate, M&M's, jelly beans, and every candy you can remember from your youth or imagine now in the world. Plus, they play the original willie wonka and the chocolate factory in the back of the store! Forget Bachelor, this is the place to take your kids in Bend, plus the adults love it, too. I found Uno bars, Abba Zabbas, PEZ, while my girls found every sour ball, sponge bob candies, New Moon chocolates, spray candy and everyhting you wish they wouldn't. You can easily spend a few hours here and be a child again! Powell's is the BEST candy store ever ..... don't believe me, ask my girls!!! #corvsmb

The Powell's name is synonymous with quality, quantity and books... in Portland. Powell's Sweet Shoppe pays tribute to the name by stocking the finest selection of candy and sweets I've ever seen. Ever. My son had a glow the entire afternoon, just remembering our first visit. "Mom, this place is like heaven to me." We returned the next day and the day after that... To get a true sense of the magic of this place, I'm going to let the founder describe his vision, "What we're selling, really, is memories." Think of the Technicolor dreaminess of Willy Wonka and you'll start to get the picture. There is no chocolate waterfall, but the rest of the fantasy is there. They play the movie (Gene Wilder version) in the back of the store in the middle of a display of movie theatre-sized treats. They have photos and autographs of the cast, golden tickets, a tree full of oversized lollipops and an entire section of Wonka brand candy, including Everlasting Gobstoppers. There are entire sections dedicated to M&Ms, Pez, and a wall of 200+ bulk items that you mix-n-match and pay by the pound. This is where you set you set your child loose (with boundaries, of course!) and watch their eyes bug out of their head. Powell's true strength is the nostalgia items. Everything from candy from your youth that is difficult to find at your corner store to items that perhaps should fade into obscurity, like candy cigarettes. Some of the items from the 60s and 70s are downright comical. This isn't just a sugar fantasy for the kiddos. They also offer 22 varieties of gelato, dozens of truffles, a wall of classic sodas in glass bottles and boutique and higher end chocolates from Oregon's Dagoba brand to one of the best selection of Ritter chocolate bars I've seen outside of Germany. Keep in mind, that you will pay dearly for these hard to find items, so check prices as you shop otherwise you will get a nasty case of sticker shock at the register. If you are looking for cheap candy, stick to generic brands at your local convenience store. This is a franchise with most of their locations in California, so now my kids will keep their eagle eyes open for Powell's on road trips. There was something that triggered a memory from my childhood around every corner. A total nostalgia trip for adults. Everything from vintage lunchboxes to potato guns to Pop Rocks. You can even hold children's birthday parties here where they go on a scavenger hunt for treats. Not as easy as it seems since the cashier said they stock close to 9,000 items in the store. On the back wall, they even have helpful guides like lists of vegan, gluten-free and kosher candy. Even suggestions if you have braces. For years we've been going to Goody's in Bend, but I can't imagine my kids will return after visiting Powell's. We've turned a page.

What a sugar shack! It is stacked with candy as far as the eye can see. They were playing the original willy wonka music when I was there. The husband and I bought cold glass bottles of soda to sip while strolling downtown. Didn't really get or want anything else but it was a nice shop to stop in. Ton's of candy to be had here. I can see kids going over the moon for this place.
(4)Richard A.
Such a fun store to visit and some of the best gelato I have had! You can also find rare or hard to find candies that you may have though were no longer made! Feel sorry for the employees to have to listen to Willy Wonka on a loop!
(4)Christopher K.
Powell's Sweet Shoppe is super fun and nostalgic for us. We always visit Powell's when we go to Bend. We also visited another location in Belmont Shore, California, and found it every bit as charming. There's a lot to look at here. We never buy a lot, but we always leave with at least a small bag of candy for our daughter, and a couple pieces for ourselves as well.
(4)Eva C.
The gelato is our favorite thing ever!! Best flavor...lavender honey!! Mojito was a close 2nd!
(5)Mitchell C.
Powell's is an institution in Bend, for the little ones anyway! Their selection is huge, and reasonably priced. There location is great with great restaurants nearby so a stop for dessert is a breeze. The staff are helpful and knowledgeable. Also, to top it off; Willy Wonka on repeat!
(5)Nikee W.
This place is the perfect combination of sweets and nostalgia. They have everything from lollipops to gelato to artisan organic chocolate to a rainbow spectrum of M&M's. It just so happens that in my current state sour candy seems to help settle my stomach. We were in this shop getting some strawberry puffs when i noticed they had sour strawberry's as well. I filled a bag and spent the next few days in sour heaven. Now that we are home, I can't find them anywhere!! It's like this shop is the long vendor which makes me want to drive back just to fill another bag. The staff here was very friendly and they also had a a case full of fudge and other chocolate concoctions. This place is a must visit when you are in town. So save your sugar fix for Powell's.
(5)Diana C.
Probably have most candies from when you were a child and the latest things you've seen from all over the place. They have very tasty gelato and truffles as well! They even have the mix and match m&m colors! Yum!

I mean, it's Powell's, what's not to like? Always fun to wander through a candy shop - won't ever leave empty handed, and I don't even have *that* big a sweet tooth. We ended up leaving with two scoops of gelato each. I was a bit off-put that the gelato was almost a bit runny in the freezer, but I just had such a craving, that I had to go for it. Turned out not to be a big deal - even if the top part was a bit melty, almost everything else was fine. Waffle cone was tasty too. The cotton candy machine plays music and is kiiiiiiiinda creepy.
(4)Leigh K.
I loved walking in here. It took me back to being 5 years old. I found every candy that I used to buy and eat, from Now and Later's to Charleston Chews to Pez. It's amazing how each candy wrapper seemed to take me back to a different memory from my childhood. You have to love candy to come here. If you appreciate a very extensive selection, you'll love it. They've also got some pretty fabulous gelato.
(5)Randy B.
Would give these guys a ZERO if possible!! The older lady that works there is RUDE!!! While they have a good selection and good gelato I won't go back. Our toddler spilled about 20 cents worth of M&Ms while helping my wife get a present for his Grandma. As soon as the spill happened my wife started to clean it up and offered to pay for it. The rude older woman instead lectured my wife about spilling EXPENSIVE candy! (which we offered to pay for already!!!!) I emailed the owner TWICE about the issue and my emails were ignored. Apparently they don't enjoy families shopping in a store geared toward kids!!! I'll shop local and go to Goodys!

SO fun! Kids LOVED the "decor" (aka candy and decor). Had a great time in here. BIG problem with customer service though. High schoolers or college students who could've cared less that any customer was there. In fact, one girl was SO rude to us as if she had never had a kid ask for change to use the cotton candy machine. I think I saw an eye roll.
(4)Justin T.
Talk about a big kid in a big candy shop! This place has everything you need to get your sugar fix. Any candy that you want they will most likely have: Jelly Belly, M&M dispensers, PEZ (incl. big PEZ dispensers - which I though were only available in Austria!), chocolate truffles, gelato, - I can't even list all the candy they have. The pictures don't even do it justice. I did get some really good gelato with a nice little chocolate/cookie straw thingy. Be aware that this place is full of kids and parents; parental units keeping an updated tally of how much of their allowance they have left to spend on sweet, sweet candy.
(5)Kimmy K.
A friend of mine from high school suggested that I check this place out since another friend from high school had relocated to Bend and opened this shop up. The place is lots of fun and has so much to offer in the form of candy. Then there's also the huge selection of gelato. Mr. Kupcakes and I got a bunch of throwback candies and some new ones we'd never tried. We loved the filled gummy whales and turtles. Make sure to get some while you are there. We brought an assortment of candies home to our daughter and Mom for taking care of our furred and feathered friends while we were out of town. They loved everything! We will be going back next time we are in Bend.

Powell's is so fun! There's so much to look at! It's packed full of classic candy and toys, and the gelato is great! The first time my husband and I stopped in here, he ended up buying a bunch of novelty sodas and energy drinks for his co-workers, and I found some great candy items I hadn't seen in years. We visited again while shopping in downtown Bend recently, and I had to get some gelato, despite the snowy weather! Powell's in definitely worth a stop if you're shopping in the area.

When I was a little girl and from time to time accumulated the vast disposable income of twenty five cents, my parents would let my younger brother and me walk a couple of blocks away (in our Portland city neighborhood) to a little market that had an amazing display of candy. This market smelled like candy when we walked in and there seemed to be an unending number of candy choices for me as I disposed of the quarter. In those days, you could walk out with at least five choices, more if you knew the "puts and takes" of penny candies and candy bars, in a crunchy little paper bag for the quarter spent. The hard thing was narrowing down the options to stay in budget. (I didn't know I was learning something about consumer choice and money management in this exercise, but I was. ;-) ) The first time I walked into Powell's the memory of being that little girl in that other store, clutching my quarter and holding my brother's hand was so overwhelming it was almost visceral. You know the phrase "sell the sizzle not the steak"? Well, what Powell's is really selling at each of their (roughly 18 franchised) stores is the "sizzle" of memories - and it works. First, Powell's smells like a candy store from my childhood. I'm not kidding about that and I'm not sure how they do it, but it is in part the aroma that fuels the memories. All of the shapes and colors of packages and bulk candies in happy candy cacophony add to the aura. The first time a friend and I visited Powell's, we wandered in the (too tight) little aisleways..."Oh remember these turkish taffies? Remember these chick-a-sticks? Remember this kind of gum? Remember..." Powell's also has good looking gelato for sale, but in my couple of visits into the store I've never made it past the candy to try the gelato. I seem to go in on a candy buying "search" for something to send a friend. But I'm not really buying the candy to send them, I'm buying the memory the candy will bring back when they see the package, smell the aroma and eat the contents. Even though some of the candy I would have chosen to eat as a kid almost makes my teeth chatter now to think of the over-sweetness of it, some happy new memory occurs to me too. Times change. I imagine few parents today would let a couple of sub seven year olds walk to the city market a couple of blocks away by themselves. A quarter wouldn't buy one candy bar, let alone a crunchy paper bag filled with sweet options.My candy loving brother grew up to be a dentist. But he is gone now - a car accident when he was only 44. As I write this review, I remember when he was four years old and always wanted to buy a box of a specific brand of cherry cough drops. Which I, in year older sister mode, would not let him do since they were "medicine". But I wonder if Powell's carries that old brand of cherry candy passing for cough drops? If they do, on my next trip in I'm going to buy a box and remember my brother. I'm very glad times change and progress is made. As example, back in the days when that quarter would buy me a bag of candy at that little market, it would have been unthinkable for a woman to be a Justice of the Supreme Court. Nostalgia, someone once said, is the longing for things that never really were. So for me it's not so much that Powell's fuels nostalgia, something I'm not inclined towards, but that it blooms good memories and smiles. If you visit Powells, you'll probably find memories of your own that will make you smile too. Not to mention a LOT of candy to buy of all kinds to help create new memories. Now if they'd just make the aisles wider, it would be five star worthy. :-)

If you like candy -- everything from bulk-bin toffees to gourmet chocolates -- then this is the place for you. I came for gelato and left feeling disappointed. The server was cute & friendly, but the gelato itself wasn't particularly good. Some flavors were so soft as to be runny, while others were so hard the poor girl could barely scrape a cupful out of the tub. This was my first time in Bend, and I sure hope someplace else sells better gelato.
(3)Kristine A.
I am not a huge candy fan but it is fun to wander through and look around. Lots of nostalgia.
(3)Graham M.
Best candy store I've been to, complete with Willy Wonka playing 24-7!
(5)Brian G.
Very tasty gelato...hard to find candy from another era...candy cigarettes? cool!
(4)Leigha T.
Willy Wonka lives on at Powells. My Oh's and Ah' couldn't be contained as I walked in this amazing candy shop! The variety is astronomical, a fun treat can be found for anyone. It's colorful and exciting to be inside this insanely wonderful store. An hour could easily be spent perusing the loads of sweet treats. Even the staff was sweet as they directed me towards a certain candy I was looking for. Thank you Powell's for a fun candy filled afternoon!
