Previously known as the Big Bear Candy Company, The Village Sweet Shoppe is sure to brighten any visitor’s day no matter the age. Family owned and operated, this sweets store offers a lot more than candy. The store itself is a feast to the eyes with its bright, unique decorations including the colorful and iconic line up of giant hand-shaped chairs along its entrance. And if the decorations don’t bring out your inner child, the treats that await inside surely will. Find an assortment of jelly beans, saltwater taffy, candy gifts, Italian gelato and sorbets, coffee, sodas, and fine chocolates. A standout among the chocolates, be sure to try their chocolate pralines peanuts cleverly (and hilariously) named Big Bear Lake Bear Poop.
