And don’t let the “shack” name scare you away. Dawn’s is a candy boutique, of sorts, that’s beautifully arranged from floor to ceiling with rows and rows of delectable delights.
From milk chocolate to bulk gummies, Dawn’s is jam packed with classics from every era. If you’re not feeling nostalgic in the first 5 seconds you’re there – check your pulse.

Best of all, Dawn’s is more than gobs and gobs of candy that would make Willy Wonka jealous. You can also find great local gifts, greeting cards, and other novelties to take home for yourself of give as a special gift (just not your dentist). Dawn’s also has allergy safe treats and party favors for events of every size.
On my visit I brought my daughters – 9 and 7 – each armed with a crisp Abe Lincoln each from Gammy for Easter. After pacing the store in awe for what seemed like an hour, they finally landed on building half-pound bags of bulk candy for just $3! It was far more sugar than they needed, but they were smiling ear to ear the whole ride home and couldn’t wait to show mom what they picked.
It’s a fantastic spot for little ones – or big ones who want to feel little again!
What makes Dawn’s even more special is its location. The small business is in the cute and quaint Clarence Four Corners area. Next-door neighbor to Mardee’s, and a stone’s throw from Gertie’s Restaurant, The Perfect Gift, Toasted, Clarence Center Coffee, and more. The Clarence Bike Path, Clarence Soccer Center, and other popular nearby spots.
Whether you’re looking for a unique treat that brings back childhood memories, or something sweet for that special someone, Dawn’s Candy Shack is a one-of-a-kind local candy shop that’s worth a stop!
