Roasted! is a candy shop in Temple Terrace featuring Halal-friendly treats, and an “island” of gummy treats. When you visit, make sure to get a cup of their frozen mint lemon drink. It’s one of the most refreshing spring/summer drinks I’ve ever enjoyed.
Roasted! might be our new favorite sweet spot in the region. The nut roastery and candy shop features a gummy island with 44 different Halal options. Roasted! also offers 50 different nuts roasted in-house.

One major delicacy of note at the shop is the Palestinian Green Almond (Loz Akdar). Green almonds are known to have a distinct but subtle flavor that is usually described as delicate, and a bit gelatinous. Their main appeal is their soft yet firm texture. They can be seen as cousins to peaches and plums. The green almond is loaded with antioxidants, and in some instances has been proven to help combat high cholesterol.
The island of gummy flavors includes ice cream, pineapple, strawberry, myriad sour worms, hot hearts, and lemons.
Apple rings, dried dates, orange peels, figs, dried kiwi, papaya chunks, and banana chips are all in the shop. You can even take home sugared chickpeas, corn nuts, and chili rice crackers from the menu.

Fans of “The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe” will find this store also offers a wide assortment of Turkish delights and Turkish baklavas. The sweets are almost too pretty to eat!
