I was very pleased to see actual "inside" photos of this candy shop as the owner is always telling…read moreeveryone to please not take them! Maybe he softened up that day! :) Anyway, when we visit Germany, we live in Karlsruhe with long time friends ( a 40 minute drive from The Zuckerladen) ... and it is always one of the very first stops we make after we arrive in Deutschland. The owner is a charming and eccentric soul... The Willy Wonka of Heidelberg, and the candy he has selected for his customers is out of this world - from the standard German Gummi bears, to extremely amazingly fine chocolate, and everything in-between. Its location is also delightfully charming- situated in a nice cozy little part of town. A MUST when you visit Heidelberg... for the chocolate, and everything else that comes along with it. Closed Sunday and Monday. So. und Mo. geschlossen Facebook/Heidelberger Zuckerladen

Unique, with full service pick-n-mix, AKA bulk candy,…read morecandy creature creations, imported candies, even erotic chocolates, all housed in a tiny shop attended by mom and pop owners and their lovely daughter. Pretty much exactly the opposite of everything Dylan's, It'Sugar, Sugar Factory, etc. -- those stale chains and flagships. Such great warmth and charm. A Heidelberg highlight, and a must see when visiting!

If you want the best gummi bears in the world, then this is where you go. Forget Haribo and…read moreTrolli, because Bären-Treff blows them both out of the water. The moment you walk in the store, and employee will greet you with a sample of gummi candy. You can also request a sample of any gummi in the store. Employees generally speak english. The store is in a pedestrian district, but there are at least two parkhaus nearby (Karstadt and the Marktplatz) The softest , most flavorful gummis I've ever had. I reccommend the superbaren, which were gummibears about twice as large as regular gummi bears. The only thing I didnt like there was when I got some sugar-free gummis, those were nasty. But Gummis were never meant to be sugar free.

Stop here every time I am in town. Great selection. The employee are always nice and helpful.read more

Hands down, the best gummies in the world!…read more I stumbled upon Baren-Treff 3 years ago while wandering around Hamburg and I haven't been able to get myself to buy other gummies since. I jumped at the chance to go to Frankfurt with my husband when he was getting sent for work, solely to fill half my luggage with these delicious gummies. I literally went to this store 4 times during my stay to buy a few kilos each visit (they're very heavy to carry around for a 2 miles walk back to the hotel) No one else can make their gummies like Baren-Treff. It has the best chewiness consistency with that perfect combo of sweetness and tartness, all with some amazing fruit juice infused inside. They employees always offer samples of whatever flavor of the month is and I believe you can ask for samples of whatever they have in store as they have dozens of jars behind the counter. The definite flavors to buy are the Fruchtsaft-Waldfrüchte (fruit juice berries/forest fruits), Rote Rosen (red roses), and Saure Limo (sour lemonade?). Baren-Treff is far superior to Haribo and the ever money gouging Sugarfina. If you go to Germany, don't leave with a few bags of these!
