They have all types of gummy style candies with a large varieties sold by the pound. From chocolates, to sweet & sours, candy bars, assorted flavored soft and hard candies.

So, I gave in and placed a delivery order from the Upper Eastside store. I chose the Autumn mix because well, it is fall! The packaging was very cute and was a nice presentation. I also thought the thank you note added a lovely touch. Now, let's get down to the candy! One candy that I see in video reviews (not sure other their name, but they look like skulls) where not in my order. That was a bit of a disappointment. I figure once I go in person, I will try them. I had a really nice mix of both sour and sweet candies. I really enjoyed them. I received some of those soft candies and they were good but, not amazing. I am not a fan of black licorice. There were several types in my bag. That was the major negative about not being able to choose the candy myself. The quantity of candy was larger than I expected.. A yummy experience. I look forward to going to the store and choosing an experiencing with the entire selection.

This unwelcoming scenario to me, the potential new customer, and the employee, was uncomfortable because the plastic or whatever that was separating us looked old and appeared dirty.

I will find another chocolate place to shop and so should you!

I did buy the Chocolate Covered Cherries to go. They were absolutely heavenly. I will definitely go back to try some more items on their menu.

They were behind the counter creating what looked like Dubai cups. We were kinda greeted with a low hello. Which we thought was disappointing due to our excitement for being our first time, and a manager(owner) present. One of the workers eventually came to take our order. She was pleasant. Overall we just found it odd how a manager or owner could be on site and not greet us! If we were "regulars" maybe she would have, but in customer service everyone should be treated equally. Not a good first impression and also my ice cream had a piece of hair at the end of me finishing majority of it.

This was a very brief visit, after dinner out,…read moreand based on the very nice service this evening, I want to return very soon, so that I can really enjoy looking around the store. There is a lot to see, and I did not have the time due to my own schedule. The man who helped us was so very nice and kind. I believe he said he is usually at their Brooklyn shop, but he was helping out in this west side of Manhattan shop. He explained about the MAKE-A-WISH FOUNDATION colorful, rainbow, STAR-SHAPED LOLLIPOPS near the cashier pay area. Please SEE MY PHOTOS. IT'S SUGAR has raised more than $1 MILLION DOLLARS for the Make-A-Wish Foundation, thanks to the people who bought the special lollipops; AND their goal is to raise $2 Million dollars for The Make-a-Wish Foundation. So, if you are near the store, please stop in. Buy a MAKE-A-WISH lollipop. Look around. Enjoy the candy sights you see, and make a purchase. They have Totsie Roll Pops, too!! And so much more, I have to visit again...soon! :) FOR VISITORS TO NYC--you will be near this store if you are in the Columbus Circle area, and the Lincoln Center area. And, it's a nice walk from the theatre district and the Fifth Avenue area, too. NYC is a great WALKING CITY, so, if you are heading out for the day, wear comfortable walking/running shoes, so that you can walk over and visit this shop. And, Thank You to the man from Brooklyn working at the store. Your great customer service made the visit a pleasure!

It's a heat wave and my daughter is at her college orientation. While we wait for her we've been finding creative ways to stay cool. Before heading into the shops at Columbus we headed into its sugar because we're with my 10m old and he likes looking at the lights and bright colors. I picked up a mug called "wake and bake" and asked my husband does it work and how. I then put it down. When exiting an employee in a purple shirt was kind of blocking the door. I thought that was odd but people are weird. She even almost bumped into someone trying to walk in. She then accuses me of stealing the mug. I was confused and said I put it down and continued on my way, but I'm annoyed that a company that I frequented often with my older kids would accuse me of stealing. If you were watching so closely you should have done a better job and watched me place it back down. How outrageously inappropriate it was to try and smile and play with my 10 month old while you were moments away from accusing his mother. As much as my older kids like It's Sugar I'm going to be thinking twice before purchasing anything there ever again. Maybe it's for the best and I should be supporting local businesses. I'm honestly stuck on the fact that they thought a mother pushing her infant child was attempting to steal something so wildly inappropriate.

While we shopped, we tried a couple of their nama chocolates, which is always a treat. I bought their sakura baton cookies, which are amazing! They are perfect for the warmer weather that is approaching. The sakura fromage nama is soooo good! Keep it refrigerated but take out a few pieces and let them come to almost room temperature before eating. I love the velvety texture. The sakua white and sakuraberry discs are soooo good! These might be my favorite after the baton cookies. Actually, I don't even think I can pick a favorite. They're all that good. I also picked up some of my regular go-tos, including their cognac raisin and rum raisin bars, their macadamia gianduja balls, and both the hazelnut and the coconut baton cookies. Unfortunately, they were out of potechi crunch but I plan to return.

It was very delicious, tastes like eating the cereal but in an ice cream cone. Definitely recommend trying that flavor. Did not get monster cookie because the color of that ice cream was intense but looks delicious! The service was good. If you do not feel like going to the Upper East side location.

The selection is wild: gourmet chocolates, nostalgic throwback candies, giant gummy bears, and super creative gift boxes that are perfect for birthdays, holidays, or a "treat yourself" moment. Everything is beautifully displayed, and it's dangerously easy to lose track of time (and money). Bonus points for the s'mores sample milkshakes--they were absolutely delicious. Creamy, rich, and perfectly sweet, they alone are worth stopping in for if you catch them sampling. The staff was friendly and helpful without hovering, and the space is clean, modern, and fits right in with the Hudson Yards vibe while still feeling playful. Whether you're buying gifts, entertaining kids, or just craving something sweet, Dylan's Candy Bar is 100% worth a stop. Come with a sweet tooth and zero self-control--you've been warned.

But instead, there I was--standing in front of their glorious gelato counter, eyes wide, heart full, and indecisive as ever. Let's start with the moment: my first bite of their olive oil gelato. I don't say this lightly--it was transcendental. Like, "is this what Botticelli tasted when painting Venus?" kind of moment. That velvety olive oil richness hits you up front with confidence and elegance, like a well-dressed Italian man offering you espresso and secrets. Sure, the intensity mellows out as you keep eating, but it never disappears--it just evolves. A plot twist in every spoonful. Now, let's talk about the cone. This wasn't your average sad, soggy cone. Oh no. This one had chocolate bits woven into it like a love letter to cacao itself. It was the best "cone upgrade" I've ever had. Crunchy, chocolatey, luxurious--it deserves its own certificate of excellence, frankly. And the staff? Patient, kind, and blessed with the empathy required to deal with someone (me) who treats flavor selection like high-stakes diplomacy. I felt seen. And then--oh, the pièce de résistance--a little chocolate coin placed lovingly atop my scoop like a crown. It made me feel like gelato royalty. A duchess of dessert, if you will. They also have this gorgeous outdoor patio space, which I longed to sit in like a wistful character in an indie romance. Alas, I couldn't stay, but next time? I'll claim that spot with the same passion I bring to gelato tasting. In conclusion: Venchi is elegance dipped in chocolate, sprinkled with patience, and served with a golden coin. I'll be back--possibly wearing a cape.
