Gummies! I would end the review there, but Yelp won't tell me that I'm smart unless I write more, and I personally look to Yelp for validation. You have to go here, even if you aren't the biggest fan of gummy products. I had no idea it was founded in Bonn, but then again, I don't think I have ever thought about Haribo long enough to wonder where it was from. The name is an acronym formed from Hans Riegel, Bonn (how long did it take you to figure out which letters spelled 'Haribo'? Be honest; this is a shame-free zone.) I bought a few buckets of different things and made them a cheap way to impress my co-workers and remind them that I'm awesome (the magic power of sugary treats that stick in your teeth). On a random side note, someone swiped one of the four buckets I put in the break room. Those were community buckets. Pigs. Anyways, go here. There's another Haribo store in the center of Bonn that has two floors and a history of Haribo (I didn't read it, but it is there, printed on five or six feet of yellow wall). I'll stop here; Yelp just affirmed my worldly value. read more

The first time I visited was 10 years ago and this was before it was renovated. Back then it wasn't as large- still had a big selection but now there is enough space for people to mill around...you don't feel like you are crammed up next to someone because of the wide aisles. Great selection and the pick n mix is nice. The Haribo from other countries was neat as was the non gummy options. Would have been cool to see more limited items that are specificity to Bonn. read more

While it was fun to see the variety of gummy products here and that you can get a whole bag of your favorite flavor gummy bear the quality was an unbelievable miss. We spent nearly $70 on a variety of choices at this store and when we started eating it realized it was so stale it was nearly inedible. Extremely disappointing when we made a special trip to Bonn while in Germany just to visit this store. Even more disappointing were the gifts we bought to bring home that ended up in the trash because we didn't want to be embarrassed gifting stale candy. This place was truly the worst part of our trip. You can buy fresher product in the US. read more

You better Hari up and try some Haribo Candy. They actually make some pretty good candy. When you're in Europe when you get those fizzy Cola bottles for example, now that's what I'm talking about. Very good stuff. Elsewhere in the world not quite so much. But still they make some pretty damn good things and are a high-quality company. read more

With more flavors than you could imagine and far cheaper prices than the United States, you might as well try all the flavors that catch your eye. However, my recommendation is to avoid the "wine gummies" boasting zero alcohol and no discernable alcohol taste; they're gimmicky and a waste of time. Actually, I think I'll have to do a blog post just for the Haribo store... Only 4 stars because I expect more from a flagship store. It wasn't exactly the "experience" I had hoped for and could be more interactive/engaging. read more

Hans Riegel Bonn, Haribo, The novelty candy brand that has captivated my heart, imagination for what candy could be and never fails me when I need a boost. For being the source of the product this store does not fail to disappoint. From their bulk bags of prodct to their mix and match bins to their short history museum for the children this brightly cklored candy shop is full of amazement. The staff is very friendly and courteous and is very helpful. English and German and some other languages are spoken here to orient the world traveler or local national. The retail store is a hop, skip and a jump from the U-bahn station and is in an interesting neighborhood. The balla balla /balla stix or cowboy ropes are my favorite candy for as long as I can remember. The products are fresh and plentiful. Was able to stockup and gave myself a little candy coma on my first visit. read more

SUPER NOMS! I have been a fan of those delicious gummibärchen since I was a child, and so visiting the Haribo factory was a bit of a dream come true for me, despite that it came many years after the fact. Now I am a vegan, so I can't eat the majority of the gummies they make, although I was super stoked to find out they do make gelatin-free candy... if only they'd apply that across the board! My friend and I walked away from the factory store with about $30-40 of candy each for the price of maybe 10 euros each. And it's not just candy they have there, but all kinds of gifts and souvenirs with the famous smiling yellow bear. There's also a small museum section with special edition gummies on display, the Haribo car, a big yellow frowning Haribo bear, and more. One thing, there's no doubt about it: Haribo macht kinder froh und erwachsene ebenso! read more

My friend and I have always been Haribo fans. So, when she and I planned our trip to Germany, the Haribo-Shop Bonn was very high on our list of places to visit. The Haribo factory is like a child (or grown-up)'s dream come true. Everybody loves candy, and the Haribo factory definitely will satiate anyone's sugar craving. Lidl is also near by! So if you're doing grocery shopping, you can also do your candy shopping a few streets down. The have tubs and tubs full of different kinds of gummis, but the cool thing about this place is the pick-your-own-candy station (by the kilogram)! Grab a bag and a pair of tongs, and grab what you want. From gummi bears, to sour straws, to sour belts, to lemon drops -- just about anything you can imagine and they'll have it! There isn't much Haribo you can buy in the US -- it's all in Germany ... and it's ALL in this store! This place is sugar rush central. I didn't expect to buy a whole lot, but when I left, I left with a few large tubs of candy and bags more of it. Sure, it weighed down my suitcase -- but it was worth it. The candy was so fresh and reasonably priced, but most importantly, it was stuff that I couldn't find in the US. If I wasn't on a time crunch, I would spend hours here :) read more

I want to live in this store. The selection is extensive and the prices are unbelievable. I laughed as I saw dozens of people leaving with shopping carts full of gummies. Then I became one of them. I was literally one bag of gummies away from my suitcase being too heavy to check on the plane without additional charges. But I have no regrets. If you aren't going to be able to visit again for a while, seize the day. Buy all the gummies you can because this place is heaven. You'll be able to purchase happiness for next to nothing. If you later find yourself buried in your candy purchases wondering what you were thinking, just enlist your friends to help. There are many flavors and mixes that you definitely can't find in other countries, making them an even better treat. read more

Haribo - Candy Stores Near Me - Bonn, NW

This place is awesome! I mean talk about a kid in a candy store!! However, it's just not fair that I got to experience it versus the true fat kid. I say this because I'm not really a candy type of gal... I like savory, not sweets. However, when seeing this on my Yelp app, I just had to check it out! This place is like a grocery store, however the aisles are filled with gummy treats! I didn't even know that most of these gummies existed! While individuals were literally filling up their full size shopping cart with candies, I opted for a small .75 cent bag of the classic gummy bears. I also did do a mini grab bag of the "pay by the weight" type of candies... There, I grabbed one sour belt in each flavor.. Two things that really caught my eye were 1) CHEAP CHEAP prices... stock up like it's going out of style, folks!! 2) Bags of gummy bears in the individual flavor! This is awesome!! For all you peeps out there that ignored a certain color, well just opt for a whole bag of one flavor!! I am definitely coming here to stock up before I visit the family in Seattle! read more

This place is ridiculous. First of all, the first thing you smell when you walk near the front doors is an amazing smell of gummies, tons and tons of gummies. Not only that, but the whole store (about the size of your average euro grocery store) is full of wonderful Haribo goodness. I wanted to come here just to visit the store, but I didn't realize until I got here that the prices are that low. We're talking about a standard size of goldenbaren for .60-.70 euros. If you want them in bulk, they have boxes in the Kg's you can take. They sell pretty much everything in multiple quantities, from small bags, to large bags, to buckets, to gift packs. They even separate the flavours of gummy bears for the people that "really like the red ones" or "don't like the white ones". That's awesome. As Sydney M. said, yes I saw a ton of people carrying huge boxes of gummies out, but how can you not? It was like supermarket sweep (sorry, this may be a 80's North American tv reference) and all I could do was grab every bag I hadn't had before. Needless to say, I came out with a box filled with goodies and most likely a problem when I check into my flight back to Canada... read more

Haribo - Candy Stores Near Me - Bonn, NW

Literally a kid in a candy store. That's how we felt running down allllll the aisles, drooling over the gummies. And the Ritter Sport chocolates (wtf?). They sell everything here! Keychains, lunch boxes, beach towels, bed sheets, gummies, real fruit gummies, different shaped gummies, sore throat gummies, more gummies, and even more gummies! They tasted so soft and fresh. And there was a neverending variety. I was a huge fan of the turtles with juice inside that were a bit sour on the outside. In our heads, we thought "Do we need a cart? We're not gonna buy that much." Responds our German friend, "Oh yea, you're gonna need a cart." Boy was she right. My one regret: I should have bought more!!!! read more

The Haribo Fabrikverkauf was one of my favorite places to stock up on bargain candy. Yes, it's a bit out of the way of Bonn's Innenstadt and the Hauptbahnhof, but it's definitely worth it to make a trip! You'll find the best deals in the bulk bin section--when I was there, it was something like 60 cents per gram or some other ridiculously good price. (And a plus for vegans--they have an extensive selection of gelatin-free Haribo that even I, as a non-vegan, love!) This is a great place to not only fill up on sweets but knick-knacks and other Haribo-related souvenirs (think cute notebooks, pens, and other school supplies, t-shirts, hats, beach towels, bedding, and a variety of other kitschy items) as well! While you're in the area, and if you need any other groceries, make sure to check out the Lidl and Trink Gut next door! read more

It's Bonn... And what is Bonn famous for? DHL, Deutsche Telekom, UN and... yes... Haribo... Trust me, jelly doesn't come any fresher than this :) read more

All the Haribo varieties you've ever seen or dreamed of and more...their factory store is like a happy supermarket of everything Haribo at cheap prices....you could spend half the day here just wandering the aisles and gazing at the wonderful gummi bärs and whatnot.....bring a suitcase for all the bärchen you buy.....I remember when you could buy these at the rate of 2 for a Pfennig packed in a tütchen (yes I'm old)..but the quality is still as good as ever (if you make sure to buy the German produced ones, check the package)...no better gummi bears exist anywhere! read more

A visit at this Haribo outlet is always chaotic but so fun. . From the parking lot you could actually smell the sweet aroma of these treats. The store itself does not impress but the contents get us all excited. Upon entry you will see the small play area with the scarry looking Gold Bear that moves like robot in the corner, a big tv that shows the history of Haribo and a shelf of some Haribo memorabilia. This corner usually gets only a glance by the excited patron both kids and adults because we ran directly to the the goods. Piles of bag and buckets of every Haribo gummy bears flavours you can possibly think for a tad cheaper price (approximately 20-40% less) than the local store price. However, if you are a visitor then its perhaps worth a trek here for both excellent price point and experience. They also offer an option to customize the variety that you want---that is in middle aisle. They have little cubbies of flavoured gummies on that aisle that you can scoop out and weigh if you dont want to buy a whole bag and eat only half. Keep in mind that no tasting is allowed from the cubbies (perhaps the most difficult task). While in the store my brother in law found out that they provide plastic buckets free of charge for you gummies too (I am sure tourists would not consider it for luggage space). In addition, you might notice some Ritter Sport Chocolate bars here and there and on big surprise bags. The reason for that is because the Ritter Sport is also produced by Haribo. Another sweet information worthy to mention is the payment form they accept in the store, they only accept debit or cash here so keep you credit cards away. Overall my family and I had so much fun there. My nephews (who were locals) were running around grabbing all bags they can get their hands on and I felt the same way. When it was time to pay it was so painful to pick and choose (I want them all). read more

This HARIBO Factory Outlet is a REAL outlet. That means, you can get lots of things in larger amounts much cheaper. The shop is more like a supermarket than a candy store, but all the sweets are like paradise to my kids. They like the big gummibaer in the kids' playground inside of the shop. You can also get cookies or chocolate at a reasonable price. And you can find HARIBO merchandise articles like bags, umbrellas with the HARIBO logo. You just park your car right in front of the shop and don't need to go far. The first time we went there we bought gummibaers for 44EUR. My family loves it. read more
