Olympia Candy Kitchen is one of the sponsors of Icefest. This store has a huge selection of chocolate, candy, gifts, and MORE. If anything, a walk through this store is a step back in time. They are well-staffed, friendly, and give back to the community. The prices are what I would expect to pay for candy of this kind.
