We had a great experience visiting Grandpa Joe’s candy store. Andre, the employee working did an excellent job helping us find everything we wanted and showed us other fun and unique items we just had to try. It was very nice to have such great customer service and friendly staff excited to help us!

Wow! We have been to three different Grandpa Joes now and this one is huge. Everything was clean and well-organized. Staff were super friendly even though the place was buzzing so they were probably overwhelmed. Love all the unique features of this store.

Grandpa Joe's always gives you a taste of nostalgia, and excitement. I love being able to stop in with my boys and experience the fun atmosphere.

Lots of different types of fizzy drinks. I found three or four types of butterscotch beer. Lots of types of vintage style candies

Nice sized candy shop within the Strip District. I've visited the one in Cuyahoga Falls, OH; this one is double the size and has way more offerings.
The $5 candy buffet is fun. Pack one of their boxes full of select gummies, hard candies, gums, and yogurt covered pretzels. The box is small, just enough for a taste test.
Ice cream counter is all right. There's around 20 or so flavors. It's slightly costlier than what I'm used to; at least it tasted good. It wasn't anything spectacular, and there's no seating inside for a hot day (it melts fast).
Pops/sodas: There's a collection. Few imports, which is meh. Has the standard pop shop stuff - glass bottles, ginger beer, weird flavors, decent tasting teas. White Grapefruit Bamboo (iirc) Pepsi was refreshing.
Candy: Have fun. There's a lot. From nostalgic to UK faves. It's everywhere.
Merch: Some fun merch such as "dirty" (NSFW) socks, board games, little knick knacks, and PGH branded merch.
Do I recommend? Sure. The candy buffet is worth it. I wish there were way more imports. It's a personal preference.
Parking: Parking? It's everywhere. Lots and on street parking. I'd rather park in a lot and walk than worry about street parking. It isn't exactly disabled friendly. It's on a one way street; could possibly drop off and then park.
Kid-friendliness: Kid friendly? Yes and no. The store is squished inside - no real aisles, just stuff shoved everywhere. It could be overwhelming and a sensory overload.
Wheelchair accessibility: The shop walking area is so small that they are not wheelchair friendly. Even canes and walkers would be challenging. There aren't any aisles; the merch randomly placed.
