As someone who had the pleasure to visit the old Baldinger's food from all nations before it was torn down, and then this new one was built here in Zelienople, I'm so glad they continued on. While it's not the exact ambiance of the 1930's like the old shop where they still used an old fashioned cash register, they did a pretty good job recreating the authentic throwback feel in this newer location. It's a super fun place to bring kids and visiting adults alike. The candy that you see will bring you back to your childhood and you can collect a basket at the door and fill it to the brim with all of your favorites. Not to mention they have all of your baking needs covered as well. And there is a baking supply section downstairs. There is also a PA Winery attached to their building. I highly recommend stopping, if not to get supplies for all your favorite holidays, then just to visit and embrace the nostalgia of yesteryear & the days of penny candy. The staff is always super friendly! There is parking around the back because it can get tight parking in the front along route 19 & the shop is in a white building just as you're about to enter the main part of Zelienople.

After a day trip out to Evans City, we came home via Zelienople to get some ice cream. Little did we know that Baldinger's was on the other side of the ice cream shop. It was serendipity and made our day. We absolutely love it there. It's the cutest classic candy shop with candies from all over the country and the world. You can get classic favorites like a Zagnut Bar, Peanut Chews and Malo Cups. They also have my German Candy favorites such as Ritter Sport and Kinder Bueno which are amazing. They also had these peanut candies I love from Nashville called Goo Goo Clusters. They are one of my favorite candies ever. The peanut butter and large peanuts really make them. My husband always gets his licorice and fruit gel candies. Everyone there is very friendly, helpful and welcoming. We love it. It's a kid's and an adults dream.

As a child, my Dad took me on a mini road trip from Pittsburgh to Baldinger's, as a surprise. It was absolutely wonderful, then and now, so much nostalgic fun and happiness, amazing selection...things you've never seen and may never see again. It's just fantastic. So much to choose from.

I've loved this shop for years and even now that I've moved away, I still make it a point to visit as often as I can when I'm in town! This is an old-fashioned candy store with so many different types of candies and goodies. Most products are priced by weight, but different tables are different prices, so make sure you pay attention to that. There are bags at each table for you to fill/tie and baskets at the front to help you carry all of your bags, if you're like me and have several! They also have cookie cutters, spices, honey, pre-packed candy and a variety of imported items. For the adults, they also have a wine store that allows tastings. It's been awhile since I've had the wine, but if it hasn't change, they have a good variety of dry and sweet, red and white wine. There is a $5 minimum if using a credit card, but I never spend under $5 there so that's a win for me. Highly encourage you to stop in to this little shop if you're in the area (or even if you're not - I believe it's worth a drive!)

Best and most reasonable wine store which lets you try samples as well. Would go here more often then buy from gas stations for wine. Fresh taste worth the price!

I have been going to Baldinger's as a child. Back then, there were blue book laws and stores weren't open on sundays. BALDINGERS had a restaurant. Betty, a longtime employee, watched me grow up from my numerous. Sunday family trips up the turnpike, 2 exits and then RT 19. I even ran into my parents there on a Christmas eve! What a surprise since we all lived far away.... just shows you why this place is great.. i told my preschoolers that we were moving to the Zelienople area, and the first word out of their mouths was "baldingers:. I could reminsce about this place forever, but here is the facts. Give yours kids a dollar and a half. Let them loose with one of the small buckets. Good to reinforce those Math skiils. Candy, yummy soup mixes, cookie cutters galore (i even got a groundhog one there!) Definitely worth the trip.

I have heard great things about this little shop but it exceeded expectations by far!! My husband and I walked in and I was stunned at the amount of penny candy and just the variety of candy they have to offer! If I ever need to fill a pinata, I know where to go!! They had so many fun items such as gummy frogs and eggs, "bugs" in lollipops, a variety of chocolate items, and your bubble gums, lollipops, jolly ranchers, and many more. I could get lost in here! Not only would this be a fun place for children to come, Mazza sells their wine in one section of the building so adults can enjoy their time too! They have tastings with a variety of whites/reds and dries/sweets to offer. I hope to be back here someday to purchase items for party favors, pinatas, or for a wine and cheese party!
