John Eagle Candies

I happened to find this candy shop when I looked for buckeye chocolate for my friends who visited Columbus. I was so glad that I went there because James was friendly, and the assorted chocolates he picked for me were so delicious. Since it was my first time being there, he even let me try a buckeye they made. It was so fresh and not overly sweet! They ran out of assorted boxes due to COVID-19, but James tried his best to wrap my chocolate assortment beautifully. They also sell cards that go perfectly with boxes. You might be worried when you step in and find out they don't have a fancy interior design. However, it's a fourth-generation store that provides you old-fashioned candies, be prepared to chat and greet in an old-fashioned way. Welcome to stop by and support this historically local small business. You would never be disappointed.

Valentine's Day was a great time to stop in to check this out. Had a great discussion with Dee Dee. Very enjoyable and totally a great owner that is totally in to her product. Great assortment of chocolates. Got a pound of the #1 assortment. She also gave me a couple of there Turtles to sample. OMG, nice and creamy chocolate with Carmel and nuts. I could have ate a ton of them. Everyone should take the time to stop in and try their chocolates. You definitely won't be disappointed.

A long-standing Columbus confectionery that still makes some of the finest candies and chocolates around. We are fans of dark chocolate and always find a great assortment at Eagle Family Candies. I also have a weakness for their peanut brittle and chocolate barks, so check those out if you enjoy those. It's well worth the time to travel here during their business hours. You will be glad you did.

I love this store. The owners are super nice, generous, and hard working. The best candy that they make are the buckeyes in my opinion.They are truly the best I have ever had. I know for a fact that DeeDee, the owner, uses only the finest chocolate you can get which makes them extra delicious. The turtles Eaglettes are also excellent. James is a talented candy artist. He designs some of their candy. I’m glad they were able to keep the store in its location. I’ve been shopping here for over ten years when I discovered the store while driving by.

Classic hometown family shop -- excellent chocolate accent better Buckeyes ! Visit often ...

Buckeyes are literally like grandma used to make, so delicious! Thanks.

I called Eagle Family Candy with questions about their buckeye candies. James was very helpful on the phone. He went above and beyond to help me with my order and even let me pick it up after work hours. When I arrived he showed me the chocolates and boxed them up in a beautiful box! I tried one and they were delicious. I cannot wait to give them as a gift and buy more. This place is a gem in Clintonville! I would recommend anyone wanting candy for themselves or as gift shop here!

I've been hearing so much about this place, people telling me it's the best they've had. I couldn't nail down why. I've had chocolate before. And generally, if you've had some, you've had them all. I'm beginning to see what's going on now. The reason they taste so good is because they've been making the chocolate the same way for 100 years. The owners have passion and a vision, hence why they're beginning to expand. The chocolates are made like art, from the treats, to the baskets and boxes. It's an amazing presentation, rich in tradition and culture. I'm excited for the future of the company, and glad I got to go before they blow up. :

The family that ownes it truly love what they do and do it well. The best damn candy in Ohio

My boyfriend surprised me today with a box of chocolates. I have lived in Columbus for 50 years and have never had this candy. WOW! I am Russel Stovers fan, but now an Eagle Family Candy fan. There is no doubt this candy is homemade and made with lots of years of love! Then he brought in the Easter Baskets for the grandkids. Took me back to my childhood and the baskets we received. I honestly have not seen baskets like these 30 years. Looking forward to the looks on their faces! I look forward to more visits. My boyfriend made the comment the selection was nor that large. I told him the candy is handmade, with quality ingredients and awesome candy takes time. Especially when they are making BEAUTIFUL baskets. I am sure they have special orders that need filled as well. My only wish is that I experienced this candy long before now! Thank you for a fantastic box if chocolates!
