    Kit Kat wasabi
    Fabian L.

    Yo this place is so cute. It's got sweets from all around the world. Liquorice, Kit Kat, Pez, Swedish candy, etc. The owner Max is so cool he even showed me all the exotic Asian stuff that I cannot usually find in the States. I ended up buying Wasabi Kit Kat and Ginger Candy.

    What a hidden gem! It's rare to find places like this anymore. The owner, Max, clearly pours his heart into the shop, running it himself and curating an incredible selection of unique candies from around the world. Also had the best gummy bears I've ever eaten!

    Love Swiss Chocolate. Yummy Driver delivered it to the wrong address, ours was the one across the street, nearly ruined our Valentines Day plans.

    Normally candy stores are a no-entry zone for me. A moment on the lips, a lifetime on the hips. Yeah, like I made that up. If I wanted a Snickers, I'll just order a box on Amazon Prime and devour them in a dark closet...in shame. But Candy's had an allure that I can summarize in two words: Japanese Kit Kats. OK, that's three words but still. Oh gosh, $9.99 for a bag of them. Steep but wait, if I buy two, I can get a third for half-off. A deal is a deal, right? Mint. Matcha. Banana Caramel. Custard Pudding. I bought them all. For friends, for neighbors. Yeah, right. A moment on the lips, a lifetime on the hips. CANDY - 4 stars...yes please AMBIANCE - 4 stars...festive SERVICE - 3.5 stars...engaged enough TOTAL - 4 stars...Japanese Kit Kats are not manju but good for a fix RELATED - Lost in the Haight?

    I've heard that Swedish candy is hard to find and shipping can take a while, so the freshness of Max's selections really surprised me.

    Growing up in San Francisco I attended different schools all within a two block radius which…read moreincludes Sanchez Elementary, Everett Middle School , and Mission High School. I would go to corner candy store for each school to buy my favorite candies through my formative years. Candies were also part of celebrations in the Mission involving a piñata .As an adult you will see me at See's when I get a sweet tooth craving. There is a place which sells chocolate from Switzerland and the Philippines and if you are sour because it's Monday or just everyday of the week in SF you should visit a place called Giddy. On Spring stroll in my old school stomping grounds I walked on Noe street and landed on Market at Giddy. Inside it's a candy store with lots of variety of gummies and licorice along with some international chocolate from the Ecuador and the Philippines. What you will also find a lot of varieties of candies which are very sour like some in SF. You will find lots of sour fizzy chewy cherries along sour mango belts. You will also find the classic sour cherry balls and berry sour foamy and sour strawberry and lemon butterflies along with a favorite from Sweden known as Bubs which is a sour strawberry and lemons skull gummy. Giddy is a good place to get sweet or sour. Sour is how you "felt" on a Monday when the chocolate in your pocket on a hot day "melt" and the best way in the past how it was "dealt" is go grab for a sour "gummy cherry belt" On Market street there lots of places for foods I have "eaten"some want on a cheat day a place for some "cheatin" at a place with chocolate from Ecuador , Philippines and Switzerland which is a bit "sweeten" and some like it sour like the strawberry and lemon skulls called Bubs which are from "Sweden"

    A dangerous store filled with delightful treats! You can either buy pre-bagged candies or mix and…read morematch and pay by the pound. I walked in intending on just buying a couple pre-mixed bags, but walked out $65 poorer....so be warned. It's dangerous in here! I love sour candies and there's a great selection of those here. They also have vegan-friendly gummies (if that's you, this is your shop!). I also found a great selection of chocolates that I thought were quite interesting, and bought a few bars to sample.

She acknowledged that my reaction was understandable and apologized to me, and when she saw how upset I was, she kindly processed a refund, which I appreciated. Unfortunately, a big, tanned male employee handled this situation extremely poorly. I had already purchased two coffees and bakery items before continuing to browse. While looking around, I picked up a bag of chips but had no free hands, so I placed it on top of my very full bag, clearly visible at all times -- not inside it. At checkout, this employee aggressively accused me of putting the item in my bag and repeatedly insisted that he "saw it," despite the fact that it was never hidden and I was fully willing to pay. I calmly explained the situation multiple times, but he refused to listen and continued to accuse me of stealing. He never apologized and continued to push the accusation. Ultimately, I was so upset by how I was being treated that I requested a refund, which was handled politely by the female employee, not by him. Being accused of theft without evidence, especially after already making purchases, was humiliating. The way I was treated felt racially biased, discriminatory, and deeply disrespectful. Loss prevention does not justify treating a paying customer this way. This experience left me extremely uncomfortable and disappointed.
