SLO Sweets, San Luis Obispo

We were across Court St from SLO Sweets having Sunday dinner at the Thai restaurant and I saw the sweet shop. It looked so bright and cheery and we could see they had a big TV with slightly strange cut from "Willy Wonka" playing continuously. We decided to go over and have a look after dinner and it was a real treat. Smelled of sugar and vanilla and the music was a very surreal SLOSweet radio station that sounded like old Dr. Demento shows and 50's music, this was on top of the soundtrack from that Willy Wonka movie in the background. It is a surreal place, full of every candy you can imagine. I found a few candy bars that I had not seen since I was a kid and had to buy them. Got a Zig-Zag, and a Big-Hunk. I took a few of photos of the colorful items and plan to go back with by good camera for a day of shooting sweets and see if I can find some other goodies. What a fun store, good for kids and Gr'ups. Find your favorite candy from your childhood. We were not interested in Gelato that night, but they did seem to have a nice selection. Will try some when I go back.

It's a really cool spot with tons of sweets to choose from. There is a cool sitting area where you can watch candy related movies. Funny candies, jelly beans, ice cream. Good spot.
