Tucked away in the quiet town of Bethesda, Tom and Patty Craver envisioned opening up a candy shop one day in memory of Tom’s grandfather. Their vision was inspired by Henry and Martha, Tom’s grandparents who raised him on homemade cherry pies. Tom and Patty realized the lack of candy stores in the area. They hoped to add a modern twist to traditional candy making. After seeing a market opportunity, they took the liberty to undertake a business venture. In light of the grand opening in Surgarfina – an LA based candy store for adults in Betheseda Row.

Living in the Edgemore neighborhood with high school aged children, the Cravers strives for something more family oriented when they decided to establish their business. The space measures about 1,000 square feet with a 500 square foot mezzanine level which is reserved for kids’ birthday parties and other social events. The shop also features a bakery section which serves scones, cinnamon buns, cupcakes, shortcakes, and other desserts. With the support from the community, the Craver’s venue continues to grow in popularity.


While configuring an interior design for their candy shop, the Cravers felt it was important to have furniture that would put much emphasis on the bright yet warm décor they wanted. They sought the expertise of Affordable Seating, a reputable restaurant furniture manufacturer who was able to help them with their seating layout. They started with Affordable Seating’s plain back custom booths which they ordered in lime green vinyl.
