Hollywood Candy is several attractions wearing a candy store costume. Since 2007, it’s grown from a sweet shop into a sprawling Old Market emporium: house-made fudge and the state’s largest Jelly Belly selection up front, a 1950s diner serving shakes and sundaes, a vintage pinball arcade that doubles as a museum, and rooms of vinyl, PEZ dispensers, and retro oddities.
Kids lose their minds here; adults do too, quietly, in the pinball room. The soda cooler alone — 200+ varieties — can eat half an hour. It’s the rare tourist stop that locals genuinely enjoy, and the diner is a legitimate lunch option, not an afterthought.
Give it at least an hour — the place keeps unfolding. Bring quarters for the pinball machines and self-control for the fudge case.
