It's a…read moresuper cute, small boutique candy shop in the mall, walking past the Simons and towards the Peel metro station. There are a LOT of choices for the candies - you can either do the "pick your own" for $2.75/g or there are prepackaged sweets, candies, Haribo, and COMBOS. Everything is reasonably priced and they even have a delivery option (through Shopify/their website!) The man running the store was super friendly and knew his product really well. He was really excited to tell us about COMBOS, since I had chosen it out of curiosity. He says that they're the only ones in Montreal who carry combos, among telling us about how the ingredients include real cheese. Oh my goodness, he was right about how delicious these stuffed pretzel bites were. I'm thinking about them now and thinking about the next time I'll visit just to pick up a bag! They also have a nice selection of ice cream bites and ice creams. I'll be back for the ice cream bites to try as well as more bags of combos!

I can confirm that kids are not the only ones who enjoy this beautiful display of candies in a store that is clean and aesthetically well laid out. The owners of the store radiate warmth and offer explanations on any of their products with pride and enthusiasm. Kudos to them for the layout that has a nice hypnotizing effect of being in a candy fantasy land. Many of the candies are imported, mainly from Europe. The ice-cream bites are homemade and delicious. What a treat for the kids who can go two floors up to visit Barbie Expo, a must see free event.

Stepping into the front door is an immediate flashback to an older time. I was initially brought to Chez BonBon on my search for Stillwell Humbugs. Unfortunately when i went, I was informed that they have not had Stillwells for over a year. They have instead a mass produced variety. Still, not a problem as I suddenly found many other candies and sweets that I can remember from my youth or from my grandmother passing onto me. Glad to know that it is also just a 5 minute drive from my place - I will certainly be back.

Also, they have a great selection of baking tools which was unexpected. THE BAD: The Service. I have been into this store (and purchased candy) five times in the last couple months. Every time, I have had the same woman working and she appears to be the owner/manager. And every time, I have been the one to greet HER. No eye contact, no friendly greeting, no "what can I help you find?", no smile. She stays behind the desk and offers ZERO customer service -- only a slight attitude. Anyone nowadays knows that the businesses with the best customer service will ultimately thrive. If you want friendly and upbeat service, go to the candy store on Parc and Maisoneuve!

I've been to Montreal many times, and have walked around where this shop is, but never actually noticed Candylabs. I only discovered them when my brother and sister-in-law got me 2 packs of candies from them as part of my Christmas present. The candies they got me were so cute. They were shaped like little sushi rolls and even came with mini chopsticks, lol. The ones that looked like Futomaki were strawberry-kiwi flavour. The ones that looked like Salmon Maki were grapefruit flavoured. The candies were crunchy and really tasty! And so cute! In addition to their bricks and mortar store in Montreal, they sell their candies online as well, which is how my brother and sister-in-law bought them. I went to their website, and the candies are a bit pricey, like the sushi candy bags are $6.99 each. However, they are handmade and they source most of their ingredients from Canadian suppliers. Apparently they also make custom candies. Which I imagine would be great promotional materials for companies and also the cutest wedding favours for couples getting married. Looking forward to a time when I can go back to Montreal and go to the bricks and mortar store and check out their candies.

I never had it before but the lady said i need to try it so we went on the mission. It's down chinatown alley street, you'll definitely walk right by it if you're not fully paying attention. There was a good amount of people out here for a Tuesday, quite a few panhandlers and scooter squads in area that were pretty aggressive but tell them to walk and they usually leave you alone. The candy at first if you put a whole piece at once in your mouth tasted plain at first until the stringy candy starts to meld with the peanut filling that's when the flavor comes out. I liked it, sort of wish the stringy parts had a bit more flavor but since it's like the only place that does it it's only right to pop in. Thanks OG

Now you can, at the new Bulk Barn downtown! I've been to Bulk Barn a few times (mostly in Ontario actually), and this one is SPOTLESS. There's a person going around cleaning all the mess people make with a small vacum, and all the shelves, tanks and other containers are super clean. Even the honey tap is non-sticky! This place is also a heaven for bakers. They have sugar pearls, food coloring, candy sparkles, etc. of every color, and even special cake molds that you can rent at 1.99$ per day! They have a wide range of products, ranging from apple pie filling (!) to pet treats (e.g. dog biscuits). There's all kinds of flours, condiments, spices, health supplements, candies, pasta, and even some ethnic products, such as the classic Filipino Sunflower crackers. Prices are not always the cheapest, however - it's still good to compare between different shops. Bulk Barn might also not be for you if you usually go for brand products. But, it's great place to try if you want a specific volume of something, or just want to try, let's say, chia seeds for the first time but not sure if you'd like it... Note: Right now Valentine candies are 15% off!

I tried it out once and it wasn't too bad. The small cost about 5.50$ with tax but I got a lot of candy out of it. It all tasted fresh too, even though they were just sitting in the store. I think it's great if you want to buy a treat with a friend or you want to buy a gift before meeting someone. They have a punch card at the counter as well.
