I'm not in Studio City often but found this spot while my friend and I were walking around. Cutest candy shop that offers a wide variety of options! Got greeted by a friendly staff member the moment we walked in. Cutely organized, brightly lit with cute decor, and easy to open and scoop the candy that I wanted! You take a scoop and a bag and fill it with whatever your heart desires. It's priced by lb. Love Swedish candy and enjoyed picking from their wide selection! The candy itself was fresh and tasty. So happy to have stumbled into this store and my friend and I will be back to satisfy our sweet cravings!
This place has a nice selection of Swedish candy. The two teenage or college age girls that were working didn't say anything to us and were having a juicy conversation which I get but isn't great for customer service. We would come back for the candy selection.
I want candy! Came across this Swedish bulk candy shop in Studio City. Everything is $4.75 per 1/4 pound and cuteness abounds. Although you can't try any (no samples allowed), the price point doesn't break the bank. I was tempted to get one of every selection. Why Swedish candy? Swedish candies tend to have higher quality ingredients and avoid high fructose corn syrup. I tried a gummy "monster" and it was chewy, tender and full of flavor. Open until 10:00 pm, Kändi fulfills your sweet tooth along Ventura Blvd if you're not in the mood for ice cream or cupcakes which are a couple of doors dow
Best new Swedish candy store in town! If you're familiar with Sockerbit, I'd say this is a step above that. The only other place I've been that I prefer more is BonBon in NYC. They have a good selection, with some seeming slightly more fresh than others in terms of texture. To be fair, I came soon after they opened so I wonder if the turnover between batches was slower then. Anyways, I will definitely be back!
Why am I just trying this place out ? Omg ... the candy here is so good. So many options of Swedish sweets made just right. So many flavors and textures. Love it all. I got to choose a variety of candy one or two of each just to try and let me tell you .... They are all soooo good. Specially the cute marshmallow ones and the sweet and sour ones willed with soft candy. Sour strawberry Rambo bites is the one I loved. Really good candy and reasonably priced. Customer service wasn't friendly at all, I wish the girl at the counter smiled once or acknowledged our presence. Seven of us walked in and bought a lot of candy. Overall a great place for candy .... 5 stars for the candy but I always care about the customer service and ambiance so a solid 4 stars for the whole experience.
Bubs!!! So happy that this location doesn't have a big online presence as it means when we come into the store we can actually find the rare items. Bubs are my favorite and sockerbit no longer has a good selection in person or online, so I needed to find a new spot. Beyond happy I ran across Kandi. I always to try make a quick stop when I am in the area. Highly recommend :) Overall 5/5 stars.
This is a Swedish Candy Candy store. They have a variety of gummy candy and chocolates to choose from along the wall. You grab a bag and start filling it with what you prefer & then pay based on the weight. My favorites were the sour gummy candies. Parking- street parking
Colorful, pretty nostalgic store. Lots of whimsical gummy or marshmallow candy. Limited amount of chocolates. They charge $19 per pound but my friend had fun choosing, literally like a kid in a candy shop. They sell some prepackaged gift bags, unmarked. It made me miss The Sweet Factory of decades gone by. The employees greet you but otherwise leave you alone. It's clean and organized but a lot of unused space, one long bare wall for aesthetics. There's a fun color changing full length mirror. My friend has gone back and said the fruity flavors are great. I won't try because for me the steep price isn't worth a try.
Every time I come to SoCal I try to look for a Swedish candy shop because we don't have too many in the Bay Area! There is street parking but we found a public lot nearby. This shop is cool because you can make your own candy bag! You pay for a 1/4 lb. There were soooo many choices like sweet, sour, and even chocolate. They have some of the typical ones I've seen online like the bubs and skulls. A fun and tasty experience :)
It was a cute place, but i didn't like much of the candy. I wanted more sour pucker. It's like a Sweets Factory, but more expensive. It's candy, not that many unique flavors here. Meh
Stopped in here to get my daughter some Swedish candy she absolutely loves the stuff. We came in on a Sunday and the store was empty, which made it easy to browse. We were greeted right away by the associate at the register, which was nice. My daughter had sent me a list of what she wanted, so I grabbed a bag and scooper and went to work filling it up. They had everything she asked for, including sour skull Bubs, banana caramel Bubs, bubble gum flavored Bubs, and sour Coke bottles. I ended up with just under a pound, and it came out to about $18. Great selection and an easy, straightforward process. Fingers crossed she loves her haul!
I discovered Kändi visiting a friend in LA and had so much fun getting to choose candies I had seen online and tried maybe once otherwise. The staff was friendly and the store is cute, just a wall of candy to scoop from! I decided to check out their online store when I got home, as the staff mentioned it when I said I was from Missouri and lamented our lack of Swedish Candy. My order came pretty quick, about a week, and shipping wasn't insane, 4.99 felt reasonable. I'll be ordering and visiting again!
I was really excited to try this place, but unfortunately I found a hair inside my bag of candy. It completely ruined the experience for me and made me question the cleanliness and handling practices. Hoping they improve their quality control. Pretty gross and not something I'd expect from a specialty candy shop.

KANDI is literally a candy wonderland! I love coming here because they have such a huge selection of Swedish candy, from sweet and sour gummies to marshmallow candies, chocolate, and so many different flavors and textures. You can literally take your time walking around and pick whatever catches your eye. They give you little white shovels to scoop the candy into your bag, and then your bag is weighed at checkout, so you pay based on how much you get. Just be careful because it is VERY easy to fill up your bag, especially when you want to try things you've never had before. I have a few favorites, and I definitely recommend coming here if you want to try something different. I also like that you can collect points and get money off once you accumulate enough. The Studio City location on Ventura is in a great area with other dessert spots nearby, so you can definitely make a little treat run out of it. I would bring friends or guests here, and if I had kids, I would absolutely bring them too. I definitely recommend KANDI if you love candy. Just know that once you start scooping, it can be very easy to go through an entire bag by yourself! read more
A sweet gem in Studio City! Perfect for candy lovers! I visited Kändi in Studio City with my daughter, and she absolutely loved it! The interior is super cute and unique, and they have an amazing variety of delicious Swedish candies to choose from. The staff members were extremely friendly, and the prices were very reasonable. On top of the great candy selection, they also sell really cute t-shirts and baseball caps--I'm definitely planning to pick up a shirt and hat on our next visit! If you or your kids have a sweet tooth, I highly recommend checking this place out! read more

Kandi is such a fun little candy shop! It's got that Scandinavian-style vibe bright, and full of mix-and-match candy bins with all kinds of unique treats. I loved how many options there were, especially the different types of licorice. It's definitely more of a spot to grab-and-go rather than somewhere to hang out. Everything I tried was tasty, and it's a great place to explore new kinds of candy you won't find in a regular store. It's still a bit of a hidden gem, when we went the service was very fast, it was not too crowded for a Sunday morning. Highly recommend if you're a candy lover! read more

I first discovered Swedish candy when Sockerbit opened a location in Anaheim, and ever since, I've been hoping for a shop closer to where I live. Enter Kändi--the answer to my sweet tooth's wishes! Located right on Ventura Blvd with easy parking, Kändi had its soft opening today (2/14/25) and officially opens tomorrow (2/15/25). The shop is owned by Lucas Halac, 26, a local 818 native who's no stranger to the sweet life--he previously helped his mom manage Menchie's Sherman Oaks but is now launching his own venture. Lucas shared that Swedish candy has been growing in popularity in the U.S. thanks to its unique textures, flavors, and fun shapes. At Kändi, you'll find a wide variety of gummies, marshmallows, chocolates, and licorice, all made without GMOs, Red Dye 40, high fructose corn syrup, or trans fats. They also offer gluten-free, vegan, gelatin-free, and kosher options, making it easy for everyone to indulge. One of the highlights here is their candy mixes--handpicked and freshly packed daily in LA, they're like a Scandinavian sampler platter! Whether you prefer sweet, sour, marshmallow, chocolate, licorice, or wrapped varieties, there's a mix for every craving. The tradition behind Swedish candy runs deep--Fredagsmys ("Cozy Friday") and Lördagsgodis ("Saturday Candy") are beloved customs in Sweden, where filling a bag with pick & mix treats is the highlight of the week for kids and adults alike. I made my own custom bag, and it was so much fun! I'll definitely be back for more. If you're a candy lover or just curious about Swedish treats, Kändi is worth a visit! read more

Good variety of all types of Swedish candies like gummies, licorice, some chocolate, and marshmallows. Clean interior and set up but I wish they gave tongs as an option for those that just want a piece or two of some candies, it took longer with the scoop. Another thing is that the whole row of candies open up, which caught me by surprise. Candy wise they taste different from regular American candies so if you're trying it for the first time I recommend only getting a piece or two. Overall, decently priced with good variety of Swedish candy. Good place to stop by if you're craving some new sweet treats or trying the new trending/ viral Swedish candies. read more

Took my wife and kids on a little adventure from Bell to check out Kändi in Studio City and it was totally worth the drive. The store was easy to find, located right on the main strip. Street parking only, but we found a spot pretty quickly. The shop itself is clean, bright, and has a modern Scandinavian vibe. We picked out a sweet little haul: jelly hearts, Coca-Cola gummies, and peach bubs simple picks, but all hit the spot. The kids were hyped, and even my wife (who's usually not big on candy) found a few she liked. Service was awesome, they were very attentive when a bin was running low. They were super nice and welcoming. The area around Kändi has a bunch of other cool little shops too, especially if you're into unique treats or want to walk off the sugar rush. Great little spot to explore for a casual family outing. Definitely coming back and next time, we're bringing a bigger bag. read more
OMG I'm so happy this place is here! You can get bubs by the scoop and they have so many flavors and are reasonably priced! Everything is super clean and the staff is so sweet! This is not my go to Swedish Candy Store for me y family and friends! We're all obsessed because it has none of the bad stuff and all the candy is authentic and FRESH! I can't get over how obsessed I am! read more

The store was very clean and they had a lot of great Swedish candy like bubs for a great price. Although the girl ringing me up was rude and ruined my experience. I would go back for the candy. read more

Hi, thank you so much for visiting and for your feedback! We’re…
Sooooo good. The sour candy is on another level here. My favorite is the sour skull candy, strawberry rhubarb licorice, and the Marabou and Daim chocolates. The ambiance is clean and welcoming and the associates have always been helpful each time we've visited. Please check it out! Just a walk away from Salt and Straw. Plenty of parking on Ventura. read more

Decided to drive out to Kandi after Sockerbit started selling their bubs separately. They don't have as much of a selection as Sockerbit, but the bubs are enough of a reason for me to go. I believe it's around ~$4 per quarter pound. Very cute store, and the workers were friendly. Will definitely start frequenting Kandi instead for my Swedish candy fix! read more

So happy to be able to get Swedish candy from this store instead of having to buy it online. I love the bubs and marshmallowy ones the most. You fill a bag with what you want and pay by the pound. read more
