Wow what can I say? This place has all the candy and sweets i used to get from the ice cream man when I was a kid!! The ambience is casual as it's one of the stores on CityWalk at Universal studios! If you park in the garage it's about a five min walk and it's probably not crowded on weekdays before 6p (just a guess)! Service was great, a guy walked around and asked if we wanted samples! We told him no but there was so much to choose from it was hard to pick! It's wall to wall candy with selections from countries all over the world and an insane collection of snacks from the US as well from different eras! Please if you have a sweet tooth check this place out, you'll thank me, it's just the best!! I say 4.95 stars because they're slightly pricey but this isn't the ice cream man, they must pay an unreal amount of rent! When you consider their location the prices are just right! read more

Low on stock of candy items. Looks like a sad candy shop that needed more candy and a restock. Gummies are stuck together, candybis sticky and stuck together, and my friend was looking for a particular candy and the associates weren't any help. Also, the prices here are outrageous! This was a sad and lackluster candy store. read more

Location 4 stars: Located on the Universal City Walk is located in Universal City, California. It is part of the Universal Studios entertainment and shopping complex that includes the amusement park, restaurants, shops and a movie theater. You will need to use one of their parking structures. I usually use the "Jurassic" Parking which is fairly close to It's Sugar. You can enter the Universal Studios complex via Lankershim or Cahuenga Boulevards. At the time of my visit the fee was a prepaid $10 a day for standard self parking. They also offer "VIP?" self parking and valet parking but I have not tried them. No street parking. You can also do remote parking at the Metro Universal City/Studio City station lot for less, located across the street with a free shuttle or pedestrian bridge to City Walk. Venue 4 stars: Beautifully appointed with great props fr0om the candy world! Lots of photo ops. Huge selection of any candy you can ever imagine from all over the world! Please see the many pics that I have posted. Service 4 stars: Employees are polite and helpful. Prices 2 stars: Expected given their huge selection and the fact that they are in a touristy area, but $20 for one chocolate bar??? :D The Bottom Line 3 stars: Impressive store to visit, admire the selection, take a few pics, and every once in a while buy something for the nostalgia without breaking the bank :D. Great for tourists and visitors. read more

The perfect pit stop before catching a movie at the AMC next door! Sure, it's a little pricey--but hey, it's CityWalk, and it's still cheaper (and way more fun) than grabbing candy inside the theater. What makes this place special is the sheer variety: endless sour belt flavors (my weakness!), classic old-school candies that spark instant nostalgia, and even jaw-dropping oversized treats that are just as fun to look at as they are to eat. Whether you're loading up a custom candy bag or just popping in for a sweet stroll down memory lane, it's worth a visit. Parents, fair warning--resisting temptation here is nearly impossible, because you'll end up wanting to grab something for yourself too! Quick shout-out to one of the employees who went above and beyond helping us hunt down cola gummies. They were out of the OG flavor, but he showed us a clever hack to snag a few from the assorted mix and even let me sample the other flavors. That little extra touch of customer service makes the candy run feel even sweeter. Every time I come in, the staff are just as friendly and helpful. read more

Hit or miss, sometimes the candy is great and sometimes it not. Last week me and my friends came in and purchased three bags of candy from the buckets and all three of our candies were stale particularly the chocolates. Tasted like they had been sitting in the glass cases for a week. We ended up eating a few pieces and throwing the rest out. read more

Candy, candy and more candy. So many choices. store was packed. Staff was changing out older candy for fresher candy. Its mostly bulk candy but they had individual candies as well. Toys, some shirts. Perfectly located in the shopping and eating center outside Universal Studios. Had to grab the Dodgers Mix so we could enjoy them as we watched the last game of the World Series. Highly recommend if you're having a sweets craving. read more

Ugh, I would buy everything the store if I could. I used to take field trips here and we would get their sugar tubes, which you can't get anywhere else. They have such a variety of candy options, I end up spending about $80 for some packages of candy. I love the way the place is decorated, it's a candy land dream. The workers are always super helpful. They even have new trendy candies. read more

This is a very late post but worth to review. A fun sweet spot at Universal Studios! This candy store is a must visit, especially for those with a sweet tooth.

The store is clean, organized, and overflowing with treats it's like being a kid again..and it's so easy to get lost in the store because so much to look at. It's become a tradition to visit whenever we're at the park. read more

If you like sugar... this place is Sugarific! A candy, chocolate and sweet tree must for candy stores lovers, explorers and gift givers. You'll find anything from licorice to crazy long stix to soda pop flavors you couldn't even imagine. It's always bright and well lit, and they way things are organize it's endless sugar exploring. One of the few places you can find candy of this much variety - possibly one biggest shops for Los Angeles not including super candy warehouses like Jack's (Wholesale) Candy in DTLA or the Candy Warehouse in Long Beach. You can purchase individual or like other candy stores fill up in bulk!! A great stop before the movies at the Universal Cinema at AMC (aka Universal Citywalk 19). Sometimes more than often there is a bit of a line inside this sugar shop. Depending on the time of day it can be very short or extra full, but they do their best to make things go smooth. You'll find some friendly It'Sugar staff on the floor, but mainly behind the registers. Funko, Pusheen and load of novelty items available in-store and their online shop including playful citations to hand out to friends, sassy shirts and plush pillows shaped like Go-Gurt. The store is pretty big as you'd imagine strolling in from the Citywalk beat [located a little more than halfway through across WASABI Japanese restaurant]. Open every day from 10 AM to 10 PM w/ an extra hour on Friday and Saturdays only (until 11PM). read more

I wanted to stop by this store to look at their candy selection while we were waiting to be seated at a restaurant nearby. This place has a bunch of sugar candy to choose from so be ready to be amaze when you walk in. They have some free samples if you want to try them. The prices here are a little pricey but it's city walk so it's expected. The staff here are wonderful, if you have any questions then just go ask one of them. I saw the spicy gummy bear that people talk about but I didn't purchase it. I also saw some cereal gummies which looks delicious but my wife didn't want to buy it for me. read more

Who doesn't love a humongous candy store packed with every candy imaginable and fun retro novelty gifts? I always love coming here. The bright colors and fun atmosphere always make me happy. The 70s and 80s items bring back great memories and make me feel young again. My visit was on a Monday evening so it was not crowded and my visit was leasurely. The store was well organized and well stocked. Customer service was readily available and friendly. Prices were reasonable. read more

It's sugar will always be a go to location for me and my children whenever we visit city walk. The store is full of classic candy. My son loves this place. I don't eat as much candy like I used to but when I went in there and saw that they had Chico sticks I had to grab a couple. It's difficult to find Chico sticks. That's my all time favorite candy. My son was tempted to get the scorpion lollipop just to save it. He was adamant about not trying the crickets. I wonder do people really purchase those. The customer service was ok. There was not much interaction with the customers unless the customer asked a question. The ambiance was like being in a real life candy land. So nostalgic! read more

IT'SOOOO MUCH CANDY IT'SWEET and colorful IT'S$$$ though This is in Universal Citywalk so pricing is what it is, you're also paying for the "experience" I guess if you're filling up your own bags to different lines of Sugar Rush. Just walking around the store is a treat with such variety and the jelly bean sculptures are impressive. Areas are grouped and organized pretty well. They need to get their A/C working. Candy might melt being so warm inside. They have portable units blowing cool air setup inside that have these chutes. Don't reach in unless you really want to chill your arms read more

They have bleeps, which is a win. The gummies are fresh. They store is clean, and the line moves quickly.

As someone who grew up going to city walk, this place has fallen hard. While the huge selection is nice, while my friends and I were looking around, we started to notice that the place was filled with bugs. (Especially the buckets of loose peices of candy) Highly unsanitary. read more

I honestly really like coming here for one thing and one thing only - their pineapple gummy rings!! It's so specific here and I can't find it anywhere else. My husband and I like stopping by to grab a baggie before going into Universals to have as a little snack throughout the visit. We sometimes have gone after our day at Universals to pick up some rings for us at home. I super feel like a kid in a candy store (literally other than the fact that I'm not a kid anymore..) when stepping into here. It's just so bright and fun and filled with all the different types of candies you can imagine. The organization for me is great because there are even some candies that are just sorted out by colors and it's just fun and pretty to seeee! read more

One day, I walked into this huge oasis of a candy store. I could die here and be ok. Stick me into the gummy bears. All of them. I could not believe the flavors here. Maple Bourbon, Gin and Tonic, Banana... etc. The gummies are the first thing you see in huge bins as you walk in. I knew I was in trouble. For $29 worth. But, I knew it would be pricey. Candy stores are expensive by the bulk lb. They also had my fave hot jalapeno gummies that I can usually only find at the Grove. So good..so fresh. And I did not see one person with their mitts in the candy. That is gross, people! Use tongs, always! Staff was friendly . It was very busy so the wait in line was indeed excessive but these treats are worth it. They had everything you could want here as far as candy goes and all the color in this place is truly happy and uplifting. Clean too given the sheer volume of people. read more

Really nice candy shop to browse around in. I like their mix-n-match candies for one price, though of course that price is pretty steep. Also their toys and other treats are expensive, but you're paying for the selection, good quality and interesting novelty not found in other stores. As some have mentioned, there are some adult-themed candies and novelties here so if you bring children or are personally offended by such things, be careful. Employees that helped me were friendly and upbeat. Store is brightly lit and almost-offensively colorful. Really fun to stop in to and look around even if you don't plan to buy anything. read more
