Overrated gummies. Add in a line and it's totally not worth it. Glad I tried but will probably pass on a second visit.

OH MY GAWD SO MUCH CANDY. I moved here from Sweden 10 years ago and one of the things I missed the most was the candy. Swedish candy is not just candy, it's honestly a delicacy. And I just found out about this store =) no more waiting for someone to visit. No more waiting to take a trip back. The candy is only 20 minutes away from my house...yaya!! The the store itself is big and white and bright!! Spotless. Very Swedish. The have the best kinds of candy. Don't be afraid to try anything, it's all amazing! It's a bit pricey, but believe me it's worth it. They also carry some Swedish pantry items like pancake batter mix or Swedish jams. The service is really nice. The guy that works there is helpful, he's very quiet and comes off a little cold, but don't take it personally, that is also very Swedish. The girl who works there however is an absolute joy to speak with. Very warm and personable. I absolutely loved her. And what I loved the most was walking out of the store with a bag full of candy that I can enjoy for the rest of the week. Nom Nom Nom!!! read more

Sockerbit means lump of sugar in Swedish according to Lily T. I love the candy in Sweden and this place did not disappoint. The names of the candies were in Swedish but the descriptions were in English and so adorable that they made me want to buy everything. I'm a huge fan of sour and gummy candy and this was the perfect shop to satisfy my sweet tooth. I loved all the candies I purchased but here are just a few of them. When I return, I will be buying more of these! - Sura Blackfiskar - Octopus shaped gummy candy. - Chocolate covered raspberry gummy bears - Hard candy with a fizzy center - I can't remember the name of this but I loved it! - Green apple sour belt I purchased around $6 worth of candy and it was plenty. They also had a huge selection of packaged Swedish candies like Marabou, Geisha, and Dumle. They also sell other Swedish products like Kalles Caviar and Fjallraven backpacks. This place was kind of hard to find and parking was even harder to find but it was worth it! read more

I love it here but the black skinny lady was very rude and I felt very uncomfortable and unwelcome

Very disappointing visit. Third time coming to sockerbit and driving 1hr to get here,every time we have came the shelves are empty no Bubs no skulls and not a lot of options for candy. Tried to ask if they had candy in stock on instagram before visiting to save us the trip and my comment got deleted. read more

Online orders take forever. No way an order in the US should take this long. You pay for 5-8 days shipping but after you pay it tells you 3-4 weeks! False advertisement. I hope the candy is fresh if I ever get it ... the label was created weeks ago and it still hasn't budged. read more

I recently came back from Sweden so when I passed this shop, I had to go inside. There is a wall of Swedish candies ranging from gummies to licorice. It's pricey at $13/lb. I got a handful of assorted gummies and it was about $2. I thought they were sweeter than American gummies but it was still fun to try. I probably wouldn't go back but the service was excellent and the place was spotless. read more

Parking: Street Parking This Swedish candy skulls were supposedly the most sour in the world but they really weren't. I was disappointed when I tried them out. I got every skull flavor they had. Not one made me cringe or make a face. The rest of the candy was different flavors and candies that they made. I didn't see a big buzz about it. read more

Sockerbit - Sour skulls - Candy Stores Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I am from Denmark, I live in LA and a I am a health freak. But when I eat Candy I want the best. I only go to this place one;y. They have the entire selection of THE best quality candy from Europe. I absolutely love the service and the options to choose what I want. I even bring my wife now and when we go to the Grove for a movie night we always walk over and buy Candy from Söckerbit. I highly recommend you try them our but be careful. It's addictive. I can't stop coming back. Enjoy Angelenos. read more

This is such a lovely little shop on 3rd street! There's also a location in NYC (tucked away in the West Village) that I hadn't known about when I lived there. After reading some reviews, I was worried that I wouldn't have an "acquired taste" or be used to these Swedish/Scandinavian candies with my American palette (grew up with the typical candies here). But there was definitely no need for the worry and apprehension! They weren't something I had to adapt to taste-wise; they're even better. There's a good selection of colorful options from sour, super sour, sweet and tangy, chewy, wrapped chocolates, nougats, etc. Some are so juicy and abundant with natural flavors. They're in separate clean, clear bins with one large, shared cover -- make sure you push-glide the cover up from the center as the worker informed me after I awkwardly struggled with them a couple times, haha. You grab a bag and spoon, and get the bag weighed when you're done. I was worried it would get very expensive, but the candies are pretty tiny and dainty so they don't weigh much. I tried to portion control myself and got no more than a few of a particular candy to try. The cute raspberry one (looks like it's dipped in "cream") might be my favorite so far, but hard to say because they're all so special! As advertised, all the candies are made with natural colors, no GMO, no transfat, and no high fructose corn syrup. How neat is that?? Good tasting candies without all the chemicals. I didn't bite into any of the artificial-tasting flavors that you get in your average candy, and I also haven't gotten dreaded sugar rushes after these...so the healthier ingredients must be doing their job I say! They also sell various Scandinavian treats and gifts against the wall. My grandma ended up getting a can of mackerel with tomato, which the kind worker had said she loves to put in sandwiches. I thought it was funny she was getting this at a candy shop, but I'm also very curious to try it myself. The worst part is the parking here. Not sure why some people said the parking is easy... I wasn't here during rush hour, but I didn't find any parking on side streets and barely any on the restricted, metered spots on 3rd street. The packed lots for Trader Joe's, etc. across the street are also a hassle. Do wish they'd open another location! I would go pretty often if there was an easier location. read more

Sockerbit - Just some of the treats! - Candy Stores Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Cheaper than online and had most things in stock. Def coming here again. Wish it was closer to home

Horrible experience. Drove 1.5 hr from OC for my kids to have a good experience paid over $65 they didn't have any sockerbit bags when we first got there then when we were leaving and they put more bags out I asked for them for my kids and they said they couldn't give us "extra" bags. Will not go there again. read more

One of the best and most unique candy stores I've ever experienced. A must-try for those with a sweet tooth in L.A. The overall layout is very clean and inviting, and it really puts the emphasis on the candy itself. They have tons of foreign sweets that I had never even seen before (and I consider myself somewhat of a candy connoisseur). Great selection of Scandinavian gummies, licorice, sours and chocolate. And the best part is, it's all "healthier" than most mass-produced American candy; no GMOs, artificial colors, etc. Staff was also very helpful and informative, quick to answer any questions and provide some background on the many different choices. read more

This place is amazing! Staff was friendly and candy was delicious. I cannot wait to go back! I just wish there was one closer to me, but I will make the trek because it is worth it! read more

Very Scandinavian in it's minimalist decor and sterile feel. But the candy tastes great and much more natural than your standard grocery store brand with no GMOs, artificial food coloring or sweeteners. It's fancy, it's hip and it's pricier by the lb., but you get what you pay for. I believe Aaron was the employee that helped me and I really appreciated his assistance in picking out the gift ideas. read more

I had placed an order online and then a month later I received an email that they were packaging my order and would refund me for out of stock items, little did I know that they only refunded me for one of the items and sent "replacements for the other two that were out of stock without letting me know or refunding me for the original items. Now i'm stuck with two extras I don't like. I had ordered the Ferrari bites and they replaced them with the strawberry licorice and I had ordered the blueberry bubs and they gave me a mix of banana, watermelon and strawberry flavored bubs instead. I would have rather just been refunded for those items but they did not let me know which in my opinion is bad business. Don't order from here. read more

I really don't get what all the hype is for! The candy is nothing special, it's super hard to chew and not even fresh. Service was horrible, staff is super unfriendly and unnecessarily long line to go in the store. Candy is not good at all! So not worth the hype!!!! read more

This candy store is sooo lovely! The variety is insane, from sweet to sour to chocolate to licorice everyone can find something they like here. The staff were also super helpful, as I found this place through TikTok so I only knew the general info! It's super cute as well. There is limited parking, however it's not impossible. I will say in terms of the gummies much of it does taste pretty similar to American candy. I think where they really differ are the marshmallow candies, licorice candies, and the chocolate! No Hershey's to be seen, thank GOD! At $15 a lb, you can't go wrong! read more

what kind of business has a phone that they don't pick up. i've called over TWENTY times in the last two days regarding an allergic reaction i have to their salt candy it contained ammonium chloride which is a man made chemical that caused asthma attack like symptoms not only am i traumatized but i am trying to call them just to simply put a warning on this candy or not sell it all all since this ingredient is not allowed in food in the United states. please be careful with salty candy from this place i beg you. the candy was called super salt it was in a small black packet but their SALTY LICORICE is also known to have this in it as well read more

My son noticed this business after the Farmer's Market and became really delighted. He's always ahead of trends, so I had never heard of it before. I'm happy we entered! amazing sweets selection It was nice that my child preferred salty gummie items! However, because we bought too much, we had to discard roughly five pieces of them when they went bad over the course of a week. read more

Nick gave me a bag and complimented my sweater. Really nice people and it's the Best candy store in LA

Although the candy came after a month they were able to come through with delicious and unique candy.

This place was so cool! All of the candy is from Sweden! This is such a unique concept, it could only survive in consumer-heavy areas like LA. We drove here just to check it out, and the person at the counter kindly told us how the weighing system worked. They have REAL Swedish Fish, which make the US version of Swedish Fish feel like the knockoffs they are. The candy itself was second-best to Dylan's Candy Bar across the way, at least in my opinion. Some people might like this place more, some might like Dylan's more. Try em both to cement your own opinion. They're definitely both good. I went to weigh and pay for the candy I got, did the little contest they were having at the register, and actually won the contest!! I won a bottle of Glogg (Swedish mulled wine) and a cone of randomly selected candy. I never win anythingggggg read more

Ordered on 02/22 and have not got an update of shipping. It is now 03/20. I sent an email and got no response. It is taking forever and ended up ordering with another website that delivered in a week. If you are backed up or out of stock, don't let people order until you can package people's orders. read more

I placed an order with them on 2/15/24, they charged my credit card and they never shipped it. When you call their number it just rings and rings, no one answers. Do not place orders with them, BEWARE!! read more

Loved!! The candy is so delicious and the worker was really sweet and told me which ones were worth trying!

Best Swedish candy or candy of any nationality in all of Los Angeles. Highly recommended

I was on a hunt for Swedish candies and I found it here. The lady at the counter mentioned they are sourced directly from the Scandinavian nation, I scooped up what was left that day. If you are craving for good quality Swedish candy, visit this cute little store. read more

I ordered my order on 2/7/2024 it is now 4/14/24. I have not received my order nor is it shipped. They have gotten back to only one of my email . I get being busy but waiting OVER A MONTH and still not getting my order is OUTRAGEOUS read more

Amazing candy. It's always so fresh and so yummy. They were out of two of my faves but the Swedish guy who works there recommended something else. It turned out to be even better than the one I originally wanted. Go here for all your candy needs. read more

This place is amazing. Their candy is on another level. I'm a "Sour" candy fan, and everything I've tried is like how you would dream a gourmet candy should be. If you're a fan of candy, any kind, you need to check this place out. Very reasonable, for some of the best candy on earth imo. read more

This is one of my favorite businesses in LA. The candy is sooooooooooooooooooo good. The employees are always so sweet and easy going. The store is beautiful and always adding new candies. read more

i placed an order online close to 2 weeks ago and haven't gotten an email or anything referring to my order or that it's been packaged. i tried calling the store multiple times today throughout the day and nobody picked up. i just want my candy that i paid for and for someone to reach out. read more

Socketbit has the most delicious candies in U.S. I always saw this place across the street from Trader Joe's and today, I decided to walk in and buy a few pieces. Right when we walked in, we were greeted by a friendly gentleman named Oscar. As we were looking around, he politely asked if we've even been here before and started explaining to us about Scandinavian candy and how they're different from others because they don't use high fructose corn syrup and artificial flavoring and etc. I was thinking to myself "oh here comes the sales pitch!" Except Oscat offered us a few pieces of samples by the register. The samples spoke for themselves. I could tell immediately that these candies were just different. Not only were they super delicious and better than any other candies I've ever had, it reminded me of how much i enjoyed candy as a child. Trust me, I'm no candy connoisseur by any means but trust me when i say this: when you try it, you'll be wondering why and how you've been eating all other junk food (pun intended). To make things even better, they charge $13.99 a pound where places like Dylan's charhe $16.99 a pound. Trust me: this place is so much better than Dylan's it doesnt even compare! read more

After leaving Hey Sugar (sugaring wax - not another candy store, lol!) - I still had 30 mins on my metered parking, and it was still raining hard, and so I touched down on this lovely little Scandinavian Candy Shop. The place is really clean, white, spacious, and minimalist. Of course, being that the only colorful items were the candies and candy accessories itself. You definitely won't find a Sweet Factory or Willy Wonka like motif here. The girl (nice gal) that was working that day is of Swedish descent, and she was cool with me taking pics while getting my candies. Here's my loot... One pricing $12.99lbs - you can stuff as much or as lil as you want. Best of all, there's NO taxes! 1. Yoghurt Bananchips: Yogurt covered in Banana chips - my favorite!!! Crunchy, round and smooth, the creamy yogurt flavor adds a nice touch. 2. Sockerbitar Kokos: Marshmallow dipped in chocolate with coconut flakes - soft and marshmallowy - I liked how the marshmellows were soft, yet firm and didn't stick to my teeth. 3. Polly: Chewy French nougat covered in dark and milk chocolate. Love the slightly sweet chocolate flavoring and the nogart didn't break my teeth yay!!! 4. Cuba Cola: Coca cola flavoring with a fizzy taste. Reminds me of the American version, Cept this one is much more tangier, flatter and bigger. 5. Sockerfri..??? (sorry - glare in between the words) Berry Flavored chewies from the Forests of Sweden. I didn't like this one. It was hella sticky and stuck to me teeth. Don't recommend this one. It was a cool place to visit. Got some treats to eat on the way home. At $12.99 lbs, it's a bit pricey. I ended up getting 0.23lbs - cost was $2.99 total. About a handful size - didn't know how I would like it - samplers of everything, hehe! Overall, I would definitely come back next time. Their candies aren't overly sweet and GMO free, yay! Also, they have samples at the cashier area too. I liked the sugar heart shaped gum drop one that I sampled - gonna get that one next time, yay! :) read more

Took a peek in this store on a whim, because I happened to walk past it on the way to Wanderlust Creamery. It's small, bright white, and clean with bins of bulk candy to peruse. You can scoop your own, but please be considerate of common sense Covid protocols when scooping your own. They will also scoop candy for you, if you prefer. The candy is really amazing, clearly distinct from the overpowering one note intense sugariness of American candy. The absence of artificial dyes, flavoring, and high fructose corn syrup was glaringly obvious to me the minute I ate my first piece of Sockerbit candy. When you remove all that stuff, the fruit flavors have a chance to shine. Sockerbit's candy is sweet, while American candy is sugary, if that distinction makes sense. I love candy that doesn't leave a nasty coating on my teeth or an energy sucking sugar crash. The staff member that helped me out was super helpful, and also made some recommendations. I stuck to the gummies and sour candies, but there is also decent assortment of black licorice, which I am sure would be amazing, except that I am not a black licorice fan. There is also a small selection of chocolates as well. The candy is expensive, no question, $14.99 per pound, but this is pretty in line with bulk candy stores. And frankly, because the quality is so much higher, each piece is far more satisfying. Will definitely be making a return visit. read more

This is the BEST candy store in all of the United States! No joke!!! Being raised in Sweden, I miss their candy so much and Sockerbit fills that void I had. Seriously, everything in the store is amazing! I wish I could buy everything!!! It's not cheap, but you pay for great quality imported candy (no corn syrup, GMO free etc)--the best you've ever tasted. From salty to sweet, they have it all! I've visited the NY store and that's when I initially discovered them. I'm so glad they are in LA now. Can you please open a store in San Diego?!! read more

Scandinavians win at everything, candy included. Truth be told, I don't even like candy all that much but Sockerbit is amazing. All of their candy is non-gmo, made with natural coloring, and real ingredients like ya know, sugar. This is high quality stuff compared to the candy that most Americans are familiar with. I discovered Sockerbit after shopping at Trader Joe's across the street. I know Swedes are famous for their candy so I thought I'd give it a try. I put together a little baggie of treats, not entirely sure what I was getting. I'm happy to report that (most) everything was delicious! Apparently Scandinavians love salty licorice so I tried a piece and quickly learned that it wasn't for me. I also discovered that although I normally despise licorice, I really like the kind with rhubarb with lemon. The employees who work here are all very sweet (pun intended). If you have any type of food allergy or dietary restriction all of their products are clearly labeled (i.e. gluten free, vegan, etc.) for your convenience. All in all it's a great place to purchase a hostess gift, or buy some treats for yourself and your loved ones! read more

I love this place. I wished they had a decoder menu you could take home. Oh wait! They do! It's their website! The gummy cola bottles are compelling. They're like a kola nut flavored Swedish fish. I went back today and bought a half pound of them. Take that, keto dieters! The Swedish version of marshmallows ("cubic marshmallow") is worth experiencing. Prepare for more banana flavor than you might have otherwise--even from the non-banana marshmallows. (Yes, there is a banana version. You will be able to distinguish the two because one of them looks like a banana; the other just tastes mildly like one.) When you get rung up, it seems more expensive than it should be--and at $14/lb, it feels relatively expensive for candy. But because you're getting fine imports and the total bill is on the order of $8, there's not enough of that feeling to take away a star. read more

Had brunch in the area and was curious about this very white store filled with candy. A friendly worker let us know it was Scandinavian candy made with non gmo and higher quality ingredients. I was very intrigued so I went to picking. I ended up buying more candy than I wanted but I'm glad I did bc I loved everything I got. I don't like candy that is too sweet and these were perfect. A bit on the expensive side but delicious nonetheless My bf inhaled half of the bag the sec I came home read more
