  I have spent hundreds of dollars in this store as I am an enthusiastic home baker and was initially thrilled to find a store with such a wide selection so close to my home. So I was very disappointed when I visited recently with a friend and our young children. As you can imagine, children are wowed by the spectacle of all the brightly colored candies and gummies on display, so we were doing our best to keep them close to our side and make sure they didn’t pick anything up or damage anything. I was all set to purchase supplies for Halloween baking when the shopkeeper loudly said to another shopper, “this is exactly why I don’t want children in here!” Our kids hadn’t damaged anything, or negatively impacted the business in any way. In fact, there was only one other customer in the store. Apparently, this candy store doesn’t welcome parents with children. I guess I’ll be buying my baking goods on amazon from now on.
  
  Updated with response to owner:
  
  1) You weren’t polite or very polite. Your self awareness is clearly lacking, and you can see this from numerous other reviews describing your poor service.
  
  2) Our kids were not running around in the store at all. I closed the door to your back room, which was left open and full of boxes as a courtesy to you, as I imagine it was left open in error.
  
  3) My daughter picked up 2 items total during the time we were in the store, and I quietly asked her to put them down, which she did. She is 2, after all. Again, they caused exactly zero damage to your merchandise. We both take responsibility for our kids and were making sure they did not open any packages or break anything.
  
  4) You loudly said to the one other customer, “This is why I don’t want kids in here!” I think that comment speaks for itself.
  
  5) Your response to my review speaks volume about how you feel about customers, especially customers with children, which is apalling considering you own a candy and baking store.
  
  Finally, I simply wrote this review to warn other patrons that you have publicly announced your desire to keep children out of the store. Our kids, as you say, were crying because we had to hastily leave the store before making our purchase because you made it resoundingly clear that we were not welcome. Your dislike of children is duly noted. The good news is, everything in your store can be purchased on Amazon for similar, if not lower prices.
