5/5 for the service! I called about placing a small order since their website offered delivery services. I spoke to a kind and knowledgeable lady named Michelina. She took the time to explain their varieties of Swedish candies. I let her know that my daughter loves sour gummy candy but is looking for one that has less citric acid coating. Michelina went above and beyond saying she would create a custom bag on the candies we talked about. She emailed me an invoice, I paid online and within a week My daughter was able to enjoy them! What a sweet experience! read more

I'm on a gummy phase. I've always had gummies, just never really read the package until a recent YouTube video on Swedish folks eating the most candy on earth. Considering Sweden doesn't actually refine their own sugar, that's pretty interesting. What got me to Karameller Candy shop was the no hight fructose gummies. Grabbed a snack pack, these gummies are very hefty in weight and is sold by weight. $6 per 100 grams. Upon arrival, I was a disappointed there wasn't a candy wall to pick and choose. Just a bookcase like shelf displaying candies packaged ready to go. There were a few assorted packaged on a table which a staff assisted me with a few questions. So no thrill of shovelling candy or dispensing myself. I wish there were more signs on texture of gummies and sourness on a scale. More info online, online maybe the way to go as there is more info there. Later that week, I went to ikea to see what their gummies are about. Karameller is strictly made in Sweden or so I was told as there are no labels or info orgin online. Upon rechecking, all the photos and that wall of candy is maybe the old location. Ikea are mostly made in Finland and Spain. No high fructose corn syrup. Post taste testing and in comparison to the German candies which again in EU nations, generally don't have high fructose corn syrup. Karameller candies are very bespoke in flavours. There is a difference. If you are in for a Swedish experience. Fun! read more

Do I have a sweet tooth? 1000% yes. I've got an account at my local candy store, drive out of my way to hit the sweet factory, and have friends bring me local sweets from their vacations. Am I a Swedish candy expert? No. My Swedish candy tasting experience is about as far as Swedish berries or fish which I assume are westernized in some capacity. Karameller is all over social media for me right now, so naturally I had to try it. Upon arrival it's just a small wall of variety bags of candy. Everything listed on their website is not on the wall. They have a small shopfront with open bins where they are able to help you build your own bag too. My initial reaction to Karameller is it's pricey. When you think about a sour candy costing 5cents, it doesn't scream bang for your buck. However, the flavours are certainly stronger and perhaps the quality of craftsmanship is there too (which I'm unable to distinguish by taste). The large bag was $25 and the smaller bags are $6. Aesthetically the packaging is cute but the candy is very middle of the line to me. Some I really enjoyed and others I preferred their 5cent candy equivalent flavor. Personally I would rather spend my money on a bag of Haribos or some British candies but everyone has different candy palettes. read more

I came across this candy shop randomly while looking at what's around Kitsilano and wow!! I'm so glad I went to try it out!! I bought one gift bag for a friend, and one smaller bag for myself. Every gummy I had in my bag was phenomenal. Maybe the best gummy candies I've ever had. Perhaps it's the "no high fructose corn syrup"? Unsure, but the flavours were GIVING and the textures were perfect for my soft mouth. Not too gummy and not too hard. I'm glad this shop is nowhere near me because I would go broke and develop diabetes. Service was really energetic and welcoming. You can get a mixed bag of candies of your choice. They need to serve you though, so it can take a while. Self-serve would be much more efficient. The shop storefront is very small, felt a little claustrophobic as more and more people kept coming in and waiting in line. read more

Nice modern and stylish candy shop. It's definitely not your typical novelty candy store. They carry a great selection of Swedish candies. If I could pick a favorite, it would be the gummy marshmallow hearts. The girl working there was really friendly and helpful! read more

I really like this candy shop, not the song so much. I try to come here every time I'm in town to get a few bags of goodies to snack on for the duration of my trip. Love this little Swedish candy store with great selections to choose from. From speaking with the staff, the candy is imported from Scandinavia and has no HFCS, no trans fat and GMO stuff. As long as it taste good, I'm cool with it. I usually get a bag of sweet and sour candies, and then a bag of just mixed up chocolates. They do sell little gift jars where you can fill it up as much as you can, as long as the lid closes, for a flat rate. Staff has always been friendly & helpful. Shop is clean, tidy and orderly. They do not reuse scoops or tongs after each customer, as they will wash it before it goes back into rotation. This shop may be a little tough to see as it is a very small shop in the middle of Yaletown. Definitely a place to stop in and grab some sweets! read more

I have a huge sweet tooth, and was excited when this store opened in Yaletown. I had big expectations for this higher-end candy store. I was, however, a bit disappointed. Yes, they sell products with better ingredients (if we can even use that description for sugar) than many cheaper candies, but I find their selection limited and overly expensive. It could just be my taste - I prefer hard candies to gummies, and much of what they sell are gummies. If I were going for high-end candy, I would choose Sugarfina over Karameller. read more

Very solid 3.75 stars, their decor and prices fit the hood ;) Oddly when I'm not in the chocolate mood, I like their half and half... Just wished they carried more coke bottles. read more

Cute little candy shop on Mainland Street in Yaletown. The candy does not have high fructose corn syrup which makes it slightly better for you. They have a wide variety of flavors and candies/chocolates. It was a bit pricey ($3.99/100grams) but was worth it for the quality of candy. Can't wait to return! read more

I've been away from here FAR to long. I'm Swedish so this is the place to get my fix for Godis. It's totally Swedish. No frippery, just neat and clean. Louise the owner is fantastisk! Doug Akesson read more

Perfect timing for a new Swedish candy shop to open in Yaletown over the summer when I had recently visited Stockholm and was in candy heaven with all of their candy shops. This little shop is a treat (pun intended) to indulge in special candies that you can't find at supermarkets or other local candy shops. The shop owners are friendly and will answer any questions. There is a large selection of candies with names and ingredients listed. Tongs are available to use and then customers put them in a bin to be cleaned. The hardest part is not going overboard choosing candies to try. Favourites include the fudge, Swedish fish, Rambo sour cola, skulls and sour raspberry-flavored gummies. At $3.49/100g, definitely pick 1-2 to sample of various candies. I've made several return trips already and will be a regular customer. read more

I was actually recommended this candy shop from another Yelper at an Elite event who recommended this place to check out since it was more transit friendly in the downtown area and has a different feel than the regular Candy Isle place that I go to. Their branding is differently different, their trying to aim to be more classy for the area without being campy like a Katy Perry music video. Sugar is sugar to me, it's just the way it is presented to me wrapped in a jar and presented in a bow....this place did not disappoint. Price margin was respectable to a degree but once again, you're really paying for the branding more than anything. The customer service was amazing. I walked in there like a kid in a candy store...actually an adult with a kid mentality in a candy store. What a great day to shake off a bad day by walking into a sugar heaven. If Veruca Salt had a sugar room, it would look something like this. read more

I love this candy store! The candy is always good and always my first stop upon my arrival to Vancouver! I always make sure to load up when I leave as well!!! This is a great gift idea for kids birthday parties and even corporate events. Their candy is also really good quality compared to other shops that sell generic. My favourite are the sours. Go Get some! read more

I can't compare the variety that they have here to the variety that they have at an ICA Maxi, but I can say it's vast. Every bin is filled with sweet, sour, and chocolate goodies. You can use tongs or a scoop. Once you're through, dispose of the tongs or scoop in a bin before you approach the register for checkout. Så mycket godis o smakar gott! read more

They have the best sour candy and delicious chocolates! I loove how chique and classy this candy store looks, its so different from any other candy shop! read more

Really great! Love the fact that their candy is made from "real" whole sugar ingredients. Only downfall is not being able to taste what you put in your bag before buying it in bulk. Had a few treats that were not to my liking but overall was super pleased! read more

This candy store has a huge variety of sour and sweet lollies. It is extremely clean and hygienic as they wash all the utensils after each use, there are never to many lollies stuck in a clump and the store always looks inviting. When you walk in the lady at the desk is always so friendly, helpful and makes the purchase all the more worth it. The sour strawberry rollers are my favourite, especially when pulled apart into strips . Have been multiple times and will be back soon for sure read more

I have a problem. I am addicted to Karameller's Swedish candies. A recent and perfectly fitting addition to Yaletown, Karameller's white paper bags filled with candy are going to become a staple addition to the contents of my purse. If I am ever upset with you or it is my birthday, present me with all the sour candies in the store and the strawberry flavored licorice. I'm running low on my stash so Karameller, you will see me this week. read more

I was impressed by the staffs ability to pick candies based on my age and gender. Boy did she nail it! The candy was super fresh, and different from Canadian candy. read more

I had high hopes for this place but was quite disappointed. Having been to Sweden and enjoying the candy while I was there, I was excited to try this place. The young condescending girl working there should learn some manners. I thought candy shops were happier places? Some of the candy they sell you can buy from Ikea at a fraction of the price these guys are asking for. read more

I received a gift card and visited the shop a few times to use it. After receiving indifferent service each time, I will not return even though a still have an outstanding balance on the gift card. It's sold by the weight so you have to guess by the amount you take. Once you place it in the bag to be weighted, you are stuck buying it. Be prepared to pay more than you thought if you underestimated the weight. read more

YAYYY I love it! I love candy! This is heaven! Everything is by weight and all candy is the same price... Just fill your bag with what ever you like and pay! I got lots and it was only $16... I need to go back! I LOVE SO MUCH! read more

After having drinks at the keg yaletown, we stumble by this candy store. It looked unique and clean which is why we decided to go in! Super clean store with a big selection of candy. I'm really sure how much the candy is but I had a little bag full and it was about $7-8? The store clerk was friendly. The store is very simple but I really like the set up of the store. All of their candy is GMO free and Is made without any high fruitose syrup! read more

Best candy in town ! Perfect indulgence for the the sweet tooth. They also have cute jars and boxes which makes it the perfect gift.
