Okay, so The Candy Store isn't a restaurant, but my kids love their inventory of sweet treats so much they would make a meal of it any day. Owners Diane and Brian Campbell showcase a wide-range of products in their bright, clean, well-stocked Russian Hill boutique. For the past two years, they have been bringing smiles to the faces of big and little kids alike and it's nice to see their success on the rise. Here is the latest news straight from Diane and Brian.
"It's a really exciting time for the store! In just the past week, Diane was interviewed on "Dining Around With Gene Burns" on KGO radio (her 4th appearance) and was also quoted in an article about candy on the front page of the New York Times.
Also, Macy's Union Square is about to kick off their 63rd Annual Flower Show, where The Candy Store has been selected as their spotlight boutique (they choose one small business per year). The boutique will be located in the middle of the main floor of Macy's, where they are building out a scaled-down version of our Russian Hill store. In addition, one of their enormous display windows on Stockton Street will be devoted entirely to The Candy Store. It's been a real pleasure working with Macy's Visual Merchandising team - they are really going all out for us, replicating our store's wall of jars and even creating custom wallpaper from our logo. We hope you'll be able to come visit us - we'll be there from April 3rd through the 19th. We'll be selling some great Easter candy (Macy's is offering a "build-a-basket" service) as well as many of our everyday store favorites.
Our Vallejo Street location will, of course, continue to be open its regular hours. Spring is such a fantastic time for candy, and we hope you'll take full advantage of it. We just got in a new shipment of chocolates and other confections from Italy, as well as elegant boxes of Hazelnut Feuilletines made by local pastry chefs (Diane's new fave). Another of our favorites is a selection of amazing truffles made especially for The Candy Store by Oakland's Michael Mischer. And lastly, you won't want to miss the abundance of Easter specialties we have in stock right now - everything from chocolate floppy-eared bunnies to candy-filled acrylic ducks to lovely boxes of Easter marzipan.
We can't thank you enough for your continued support of our store, and we hope to see you soon."

About Me
- Grubalicious SF
- A U.C. Berkeley graduate with journalism and restaurant research experience, I am a former corporate meeting and event planner turned gastronomic explorer in my native San Francisco. We all lead busy lives, but nearly everyone stops to eat, whether it be a burger from a fast food joint, an organic mixed greens salad from the purveyor of locally grown ingredients or a fancy plate of foie gras accompanied by a glass of wine from an upscale eatery. No matter how short or long on time you are in this amazingly diverse city, lunch should be a culturally rich and enjoyable experience. Neophytes and gourmets alike should be able to walk away completely satiated, if even after a brief meal's visit. On this blog, I will share my passion for and knowledge of the San Francisco restaurant scene, divulge the must-try gems so that visitors and transplants can get away from the tourist traps, and celebrate with natives all the exciting dining experiences that we are so lucky to have here.
