Has anyone recommended the chocolate dipped soft serve cone yet?! :D…read more There is a reason why! I can never remember all the different choice except dark, milk chocolate, maple and strawberry. I have tried them all and I would say that maple and strawberries are a bit too sweet for me. But they are a great change when you have taken the Belgium milk chocolate forever. I think they have around 10 chocolate dips. I am sure there is one to suit your fancy.

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.

Hello was invited to visit for an Yelp elite event…read more Location is the cour mont royal building in the tunnel to subway. The owner was there and he is super friendly. He gave me a beautiful Halloween loot bag. The store is packed with every type of candy you can thick of. You name it he has it. Along with the candy he had a nice selection of ice cream bites but did not try it. We took a nice selection of mixed candy home and when we ate them they were super fresh. This place is a must to go visit to fill your sweet cravings. Enjoy

What a cool store that I never knew existed! Hungry Ninja sells primarily imported snacks from Asia…read moresuch as chips, candies, and ramen, but they also sell Asian groceries, such as sauces, oils, vinegars, miso, kimchi and the sorts. They have the largest selection of exotic KitKats I've seen here in Ottawa. They sell bags for $6.99, which depending on the flavour have 9-14 mini bars. They also sell individual bars for $0.99 each. So you can try one before committing to an entire bag. They also have a large selection of Kracie Popin' Cooking' DIY candy kits! They are $5.99-$6.99 which is about half the price of places like Sugar Mountain and Sweet Escape Candy Emporium. Sure, you don't get the nostalgic candy store vibe here, but you save $4-$6 per kit. My little nieces are addicted to these kits, so I've scoured the city for these, lol. If you are a mochi-lover, they have a lot of mochi from Japan. Many grocery stores only carry mochi from Taiwan (and specifically the brand Royal Family), so if you want something different, you can check out the variety here. They sell Wong's Ice Cream (from Toronto)! This brand sells Asian-inspired flavours like Vietnamese Coffee, Thai Milk Tea, and Korean Banana Milk. In addition to ice cream, they sell other frozen goods too, like Korean dumplings, croquettes, and Tteokbokki. They have some bubble tea plushies at the back, as well as those happy/sad reversible octopus plushies. Staff pretty much leave you alone to browse. They were efficient at checkout. They are located in a strip mall. There's free parking in the strip mall parking lot. I definitely recommend checking out Hungry Ninja if you like imported Asian snacks :)

Worst customer service ever. I placed multiple orders over the last year, each well over $100. The…read moreshipping alone was 1/3 the cost of the order, however because they have unique items I can't get in my city I had no problem paying for it. When I received the last two orders (both of which were placed in September), I noticed that multiple bags had expiry dates of September and October of the same year. They were meant to be Christmas gifts for the Healthcare Workers at the Hospital where I work, so obviously they would be expired by then. There was no mention of the expiry date online on any of the items I purchased, nor did they mention anything before they sent me the items. The first time I contacted them they told me to send a photo of the items and I would receive a refund. I did this, but then I was told I would have to return the items (and pay for the shipping myself), show them a photo of the receipt and then they would issue me a credit for that amount. ...What??? Why would I have to pay for shipping AGAIN after paying a total of $60 the first time? What kind of business sells edible products that expire within weeks of shipment? This is mind boggling to me. I have told potential customers about my experience and will share this review in the hopes that others don't end up having to go through the same thing when they go to purchase stocking stuffers or Christmas gifts. There is something not right about the fact that this place is selling perishable food items without being transparent about the expiry dates.

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.

It really limits your autonomy. With so many other boutique selling candy there is nothing that really set this place appart.

Christine, the shop owner, was warm and welcoming right from when we entered her shop. Lollies and Scoops has sooo many different options of treats, both salty and sweet as well as international ones! At the front of the shop, there is a freezer with some frozen treats like Neale's Sweet n' Nice Ice Cream ($3ish, made out of Toronto with yummy Caribbean flavours to choose from). There is also a cold display case housing edible cookie dough (around $5) and some international drinks! Yummm! We picked up a Reese flavoured cookie dough one to try and two drinks. The shop has different categories labelled on the walls to help guide shoppers, such as Old School, International, Salty, etc. There are also fun stuffies, socks, earrings, etc. making this place a whimsical gift shop in addition to being a sweets shop. Christine mentioned that they will be scooping ice cream too come the summertime. I can see that being very successful with the locals as well as tourists. What an awesome addition to the Village of Manotick - looking forward to stopping in here as a regular! Welcome to Lollies and Scoops!

Candylabs is a small independently owned business that sells handmade artisan candies. It opened in…read more2014. 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.

We got the dark chocolate ice cream, the raspberry and vanilla soft serve which was a limited edition, and a vanilla soft serve dipped in chocolate.

That being said, still tasty and enjoyable so would still probably go back!
