Such a charming little candy shop! I can easily see why people love it so much. My husband and I had the day off today and thought we would stop by. Staff was super friendly and asked if we had any questions, if we're looking for something in particular, or if we wanted a sample. My husband loves sour & Swedish candy and they had plenty of options for him! We took home a few different things to try as we just wanted to shop local and support and were happy we did. They also now have 'dirty' sodas (flavor and add-ins) which I thought was cute. Definitely check them out! ‍ read more

Candy store? Count me in. As an adult, I will truthfully admit that I blacked out shopping here because I was so excited! With their many jars of bulk candy for you to build your own bag or snackle, you're also able to sample things before you get them. They had a ton of stuff from local vendors, including the viral Dubai chocolate bar. We also saw tons of Swedish gummies and freeze dried candies. After shopping around we had a full basket, and tons of things to enjoy. There really is something for everyone. The staff was incredibly friendly, and we never once felt pressure to buy anything at all. You can also sign up for their rewards program and earn points with every purchase. We had just finished up our candy that we bought and I think we're due for another trip super soon! read more

One of the best candy stores in the Chicagoland area, if not the very best. Candycopia offers an incredible variety of nostalgic favorites, popular treats, truffles, ice cream, and now even dirty sodas. We've become regulars, often stopping in to grab a bag of Swedish candy, and most recently tried the Candycopia Crush. It was amazing! The atmosphere is always fun, inviting, and friendly. A must-visit for any candy lover. read more

Just received my order in a timely manner and I am obsessed,everything arrived perfectly with the cold ship option as well it's in the 90' in California right now :) Huge kudos to the company I recently took a Carnival Cruise and they had these pretzels( Milk Chocolate Caramel Sea Salt Pretzels) as an option for sale to snack in your room . I was disappointed when I ran out , low and behold I locate your company and these are an exact replica !!! So happy I immediately placed another order. You guys should look into supplying Carnival Cruise Lines ... Thank you sooo much !! read more

Found this place as apart of a sponsored event. The shop was so cute that I had to purchase some ice cream. They have several flavors that caught my eye. Specifically, I was eying the Banana Cream Pie. Thanks to Spirit, I was able to try two other flavors. I tried the Brookie and also a Graham Central Station flavor. Both were so yummy, however the Graham crackers flavor was distinct that I had to purchase a single cone. I was very impressed with my ice cream. This candy store is all inclusive, so many sweet treats: small batch chocolates, sodas, caramel and old school candies. This store has it all and I implore you to check it out if you want to find something sweet. This family owned business is easy to access and super clean and organized. read more

Stopped by after work one day and was so glad that I did!! The storefront itself is sort of small but the space inside is pretty big. I love how they have the store organized, bulk candy on one side, candies organized by decade in one area, candies by region, specialty chocolates, ice cream in the back, and special sodas in a cooler. I wanted to try everything. I ended up getting some of their specialty chocolates (locally made by Katherine Anne Confections and Chocs 'n Boxes), and the knafeh/viral Dubai chocolate. The Dubai chocolate was waaaay better than one I had tried at another place, and the other chocolates were also very, very unique and delicious. I've been to many candy stores and have generally usually felt underwhelmed and things overpriced. This was definitely not the case here! They had a lot of unique and fun items and at very reasonable prices! Staff were friendly without being overbearing and helpful. I will definitely be back!! read more

Very fun candy store with a ton of variety and candies from all over the world! They also have ice cream and drinks and truffles and stuff!

Stopped by for a Yelp event and a sweet treat, was not disappointed! There's quite the variety at Candycopia, and free samples are very generous - you can basically sample anything in the candy bar area. Lots of curious international options as well and more by the day - Vietnamese sriracha candy, Swedish licorice, etc. Top notch hospitality, friendliness, and vibes. It is Oak Park but there's actually some limited time free street parking if you look. Down the street is also a UNESCO World Heritage Site - the Unity Temple, designed by Frank Lloyd Wright. Prescheduling tour tickets is required however. read more

If you are looking for the latest trends in candy, you will find them here. A Yelp event originally brought me here but it was the awesome Swedish candy selection, unique gummies ( who wouldn't want to buy gummy eye balls?) and fun tik tok featured candy ( eg peeled mango ) that led me to buying more and will make me a repeat customer. Love the modern section and the nostalgia section. Yum. My 11 year old was thrilled we found this place read more

What an absolutely adorable woman owned and family run candy shop! Located in downtown Oak Park, Candycopia is every sweet tooth lovers' dream. This is truly the holy grail of candy. They have so many sweet treats from local candy makers all the way from caramels, to truffles, to chocolate covered anything, to sweet and sour candy. I mean just take a look at my pictures from this place - it's candy galore! There's like over 15 jars of all different types of candies, and that's just scratching the surface. I even saw chocolate dipped Twinkies. Moral of the story: they have any sweet treat you could probably ever think of. The prices are so reasonable, too. The staff was amazing. I met one of the owners, Patrick, and he was so incredibly kind and friendly; I felt like I could ask him any question about anything in the store without it being a bother. They also do birthday parties which I had no clue about till I was there and they told me they just finished one up! The place was spotless and so cute.

Upon walking in, it has like an old school sweets/candy look. I was greeted and given a brief introduction about the shop. There was a large variety of candy to choose from, whether it's for yourself or a gift to someone. Prices depend on what you're getting. Service was fantastic, both of the employees were very helpful and informative. I bought pumpkin cheesecake from Compartes and a collaboration chocolate from Mayana and Candycopia.

I loveeee me some Candycopia. I actually can't believe this is my first time writing a review, especially when this place has been a staple for me ever since moving to the Oak Park area. Located right on Lake street, Candycopia is literally my one and only recommendation to any avid candy lover enthusiast (aka me). They have quite possibly all the things *I* could ask for, including chocolate, taffy, "TikTok" viral candies, ice cream, gummies, chamoy candies, soda, and more. They even have a whole shelf of those make it yourself donuts and mini treats which I think are super cute. The owner is super nice and friendly and really makes you feel at home. The neighborhood candy shop feel is everything. read more

Patrick was so passionate about the candy makers from all over the globe. I love chocolate and therefore i love this place. They highlight candy makers by giving them the display capabilities. The candy is delicious and surprisingly affordable considering the great quality ingredients and small batch production methods. Parking on the street is easy. Very friendly staff! read more

I ordered a bunch of gummy candy online after finding this store on Instagram. They had all these unique gummies that I can't find near me, especially the Swedish gummies. I chose a bunch of different candies and decided to order 2 pounds. It was shipped super fast and when the gummies arrived they were fresh and absolutely delicious. The only negative is that I didn't order 3 or 4 pounds. But I will make up for that with my next order! The candy is amazing, thank you! (I already ate some of the candy in the picture, that's why one bag doesn't look as full. ) read more

This is the spot if you are looking for Swedish candy!! I got the sour mix for around $15, and the bite sized banana toffee bubs for around $6. I mixed them both in this bag LOL.

Honestly there was so much candy at this shop and there was a good amount of options for Swedish candy! read more

It's my second time here and love the single sourced chocolates from around the globe. All of this section of chocolates are made by women owned businesses and in small batches.

Coming in to check it out? I'm sure you'll walk away with something! read more

The Knafeh bar was very expensive and utterly disappointing. It tasted like straight up watery peanut butter. I couldn't shake the feeling of being scammed with that one. Even the $1 mini pumpkin crunch bars and the $0.75 truffles, which I thought might give me a glimmer of hope, left me wishing for something better. read more

If you want a great alternative to viral, online candy shops that doesn't require overseas shipping, I would recommend Candycopia. I ordered some candies from their online shop and am highly satisfied with the service I received. It all came quickly and in perfect condition; it arrived earlier than I expected with the shipping I chose. I also appreciate the label on the bags that tells you when the candy was packaged. Just from the message card and the sweet (no pun intended) note written on my receipt, I would love to visit in-person someday. read more

Excellent service and a candy land full of happiness! This place makes my Son and I sooooo happy!

Holy candy!! Such a fun place! You can taste the colors when you walk in. We came here as a family, our daughter's first time at a candy store (you can imagine how that went!!) and she was in awe! There is incredible variety with rows and rows of colorful, different flavored gummies, displays of various fruity and chocolatey candies and cases of chocolate truffles, caramels and a whole bunch of other things. We were stunned! We ended up getting two bags of different types of gummies - these are measured by weight for pricing and then were able to sample a truffle and caramels. The gummies we bought were soooo good. Chewy, fruity and some with a punch of sour. The staff were also super sweet (heey pun) and really helpful, providing history of some of the local candy sources, flavors and favorites. Absolutely loved this place! read more

Candycopia is a new gem to Oak Park. This place is filled with yummy treats for any occasion. It will for sure fulfill your sweet tooth cravings.

Many good treats to purchase from chocolate, fudge, homemade caramels and ice cream. Nice place to come and bring the kids for a special treat. read more

Thanks to Yelp, I found Candycopia to satisfy my sweet tooth! I met Patrick this time, and he was wonderful! He gave me a tour of the store, is very knowledgeable about their offerings, and I love how they feature local candy makers. Everything he described was exactly how I expected it to be, and he made some excellent recommendations. I felt like a kid again, and it's also nostalgic since I used to work at Dylan's Candy Bar -- though this is a very special place as it's a small business. What's not to love? Of course, I couldn't say no to their bulk candies. I learned that there's a dark chocolate sea salt caramel pretzel, and it's divine! I figured what's not to love since I've already had the milk chocolate version and loved it. I also grabbed some blue raspberry gummy bears and a bag of dark chocolate almonds. Everything was packaged so beautifully, and the bags are resealable which I love. I also love that they have a loyalty program. The only thing is that parking can be challenging to find as it's limited spots right out front, first come first serve. I always end up two blocks away by the train station, boo, but I'll do it for some candy. It's definitely a place I'll go back to, and I'd recommend it to anyone in the area looking for a local candy store. read more
