First time and was happy with their products. Find them located downtown across from the courthouse.They offer one and two pound pre assorted boxes. Or you can build your own from the case. The staff was helpful and friendly during my November visit. Prices are high for chocolates these days, but likely similar to others.This place has been around a very long time and is a city staple. I would return.Parking: Directly in front

I am originally from Newark Ohio and fondly remember Goumas candy as some of the best candy around. I left Ohio in 2010 and recently moved back. Sadly, while out of state Goumas fell off my radar but I'm here today to remind everyone how wonderful Goumas candy is and encourage you to visit one of their locations. They have three locations: Heath, Ohio, Granville, Ohio, and Newark, Ohio. We stopped in while waiting for the Licking County Courthouse Christmas lighting and for a brief time we were the only ones in the store located on the North side of the square in downtown Newark, Ohio. The cases were full of delightful candies and the two ladies behind the counter were cheerful and fun. They greeted us right away and my family chose several delectable candies ranging from chocolate covered Oreos and potato chips, to English Toffee, to Coconut Haystacks, to a wide range of truffles (my personal favorite). I escaped with a bag full of goodies to sample as we walked around the square as well as a box of assorted truffles. I highly recommend a visit to one of their three locations and don't forget to pick up your buckeyes!

Been getting great candy here for more years than I can remember. I have never been disappointed with quality or service. If you've never been here it's definitely a place you need to come to. Mrs Shoemaker is one of the nicest..knowledgeable friendly and professional people I've met. She can hook you up with the best tasting treats ever. I would give this place 10 stars if I could.

Goumas is a treat with delicious old fashioned candy, most of which I believe is homemade. Was the feel of an Old Time Candy shop, it's always a pleasure to come in with the kids and pick out a little of what we would each like. The store is very clean and welcoming as are the attendance there. The treats are a little expensive, but I suppose you're paying for quality. And their "mint meltaways" never disappoint!
