I wanted every one because they are all so cute! Parking was easy since it is located in The Source read more

Sweet Box - Dubai Marshmallow Cookie - Candy Stores Near Me - Buena Park, California

They have cute special macarons. The regulsr ones were 2.95 or 4 for 10. We got 2 chocolate,1matcha and 1 pistacchio. Friend's kids seem to like the chocolate ones. The matcha shell was good. It was soft but the meringue filling tasted like whipped cream with the smallest hint of tea//matcha flavor. The pistachio one was a bit drier for the shell and the filling was alot better bevause you could taste the pisatcchio flavor. I do love their cute special macaron. I didnt try them because itd be too much sweets but they looked good. They also have tanghulu, dragon beard candy and dubai chocolate stuff as well. Ring the bell for service if they arent there. read more

I asked what flavors were in the towel cake, and the staff at the front told me it was strawberry only. Based on that, I decided to try it. Shortly after, I noticed there was another option that included chocolate. When I asked if I could switch, I was told it would be an additional $5. At that point, I chose not to proceed, as the interaction felt a bit confusing and uncomfortable. If customers ask about available flavors, it would be helpful to provide accurate and complete information. Simply letting them know there are multiple options would make a big difference. As for the towel cake with strawberries, I didn't enjoy it. I took one bite and ended up throwing it away. For $10, it didn't meet expectations. read more

It's so easy to pass by this counter, it's very unassuming, but hopefully their beautiful macarons and the Tanghulu catch your eye! Just about every TikTok worthy treat I could wish for is here! Macarons Tanghulu *candied strawberries, grapes, tangerines Chocolate Mochi Wrapped Dubai Chocolate Dragon Beard Candy (available in Oreo filling or peanut and sesame seed filling) You don't want to miss this spot. I could take most everything home and they still tasted delicious and kept their structure. The only item I had to eat right away was the Tanghulu. The candy coating melts into a sweet syrup if it's warm out, so to enjoy the addictive crispy crunch and the juicy strawberry/fruit, definitely enjoy it on the spot. Can't wait to be back! read more

If you've ever been to Japan and had the privilege to try the Tanghulu (candied fruit), you know what I am talking about. We came to the Source for my daughter's birthday per her request, and this was one of the stops we came to. The strawberry tanghulu was 4/5 pretty close to the ones we've tried in Japan. The tangerine tanghulu was alright, it was bland, it would be better if it had a sour or sweeter taste. This was a 2/5 for me. I should've bought the grape one instead of the tangerine one. Strawberry Tanghulu $5.50 Grape Tanghulu $5.00 Tangerine Tanghulu $5.00 read more

Cute little store in the source OC. They have plenty of sweets but the tanghulu was one that caught my attention. You dont really see many tanghulu spots around in SoCal and the ones I have tried in this area was not very good! FOOD: Strawberry Tanghulu - $5.50 (5/5) This was sooo good! I've tried tanghulu in Japan and Taiwan and I would say this is very close. The sugar coating is perfectly crispy and does not stick to your teeth. The strawberries were HUGE and pretty sweet as well. Grape Tanghulu - $5 (5/5) These grapes are bite sized and if youre not feeling like chewing into a strawberry, this is perfect for you. The grapes are sweet and crunchy and sooo good Dragon Beard 10 pc [oreo] - $10 (5/5) TS was soo good. Its kinda like cotton candy but denser if yk what i mean. I ahd this once in japan and I do be craving this. IDK anywhere else that sells this but this was amazing and tasted soo good. They had a sesame flavor but I think the oreo was pretty good (americanized dragon beard loll). I love this i demolished in one day There arent many tanghulu spots around and this place does! They also make it great and satisfied my craving for these. Dragon beard as well! I think putting them in the freezer will keep it soft for longer. read more

Sweet Box - Strawberry Tanghulu - $5.50 // Grape Tanghulu - $5 - Candy Stores Near Me - Buena Park, California

Who doesn't want a delicious treat after a delicious meal? Met my sister and family here for lunch and to spend time together it was our last day before our Grandma and Aunty leave back home to Arkansas. We had a wonderful time together and all of us wanted to get a treat before we left and this is our favorite place to stop and get a treat. I did get more stuff but I didn't get a chance to take a picture of everything. I ended up getting the Dragon beard Oreo treat, it's so amazing and baby girl wanted the grape Tanghulu but she ate it before I could take a picture lol and we all got a bunch of Macarons. I really like coming here they treats. The girl took our order and rang us up was so kind and sweet and patient with all the kids. Thank you so much for excellent service and always delicious treats. Have a beautiful day, be kind to everyone :) Aloha read more

$16 Dubai chocolate strawberry cup is not worth it: chocolate was way too sweet AND the chocolate hardens within 2 minutes so it was really difficult to dig out the strawberries. 4 ppl shared 2 cups for $30 and we all agreed it was not worth it. Also, not enough pistachio flavor at all: there was less than 10% pistachio in the cup. *Request: offer dark chocolate option to offset sweetness; and use chocolate that does NOT harden solid when cooled off. $5 tangerine tanghulu was cute and worth it. Will come back to try other fruits. This is a walk-up window order. Service was fast and friendly. read more

This wasn't my first time visiting--I've been here before and previously tried the strawberry, grape, and tangerine Tanghulu. They were really good, though definitely on the pricey side, but that's expected given the current hype. This was my first time trying their Dubai chocolate-covered strawberries, and I went with the cup that includes pistachio cream. Honestly, I wouldn't spend $15 on it again. The chocolate completely overpowered the pistachio flavor, and there wasn't much cream to begin with. I probably would've enjoyed it more if I had just gone with the regular chocolate-covered strawberries on their own. They also offer other treats like macarons, which I've tried and found to be pretty tasty. Overall, everything I've had here has been good, but it's definitely on the expensive side--so it depends on what you're willing to spend for the experience. read more

We loved this place! We go every time we remember about it.. (we recently went to Japan and it reminds us our time there) dessert options and variety are great and we love our visits.. read more

This location is located on the first floor of the source and it's pretty easy to find. I came for their French macarons and I loved their chewy texture! They have regular and special character/animal macarons. I think they use buttercream for the filling and my favorite was the cookies and cream. I didn't give 5 stars because the earl grey macaron shell didn't have much "feet" which resulted in a less chewy/hollow cookie. Service was quick and friendly. There is a bell at the register to ring for assistance if no one is standing up front. Overall, a solid spot for French macarons and I will be back! read more

Located inside the Source Shopping Center. We opted for the Tanghulus, Macaroon. The Tanghulu were freshly made, where the sugar on the outside was still slightly warm but still had a hard crunch. The Strawberries were ripe and juicy. I never had a tanghulu prior to this, but now I understand why it's been trending more lately. The macarons they serve come in different flavors such as pistachio, vanilla, green tea, earl grey, etc. Overall, I can't wait to come back to try other items. read more

A great spot to pick up macarons and the famous dubai marshmallow cookies. They have tons of flavors to pick from. They normally are one of the first places to sell trendy dessert or sweets. read more

I was walking by with a few friends and we were in the mood for gelato so we went in. I almost always get the pistachio gelato, but I decided to have the sea salt caramel gelato instead and it was delicious! There were tiny pieces of caramel within the gelato, which was a happy surprise. I would go back and have this flavor again. read more

Tried the strawberry tanghulu and some of their macarons here. The strawberry tanghulu isn't really worth it, you get three strawberries coated in sugar shell for $5. The sugar on the outside is also kinda thick compared to ones that I had in Asia. The thick sugar made it too sweet, however for the macarons the earl grey and salted caramel ones i got were delicious. read more

Surprised how much I enjoyed, it was great! The tanghulu was well made and the fruit was fresh with huge strawberry pieces. Macarons are also great and they have so many cute characters and designs. Not a French style macaron, but definitely very good worth trying read more

i get a salted caramel macaron every time i'm at the source - literally the best one and could inhale so many if i could LOL - just wish they did more fun special flavors every now and then, but nice that they stick to the same classic ones haha not a complaint but every time I go, the workers are lowkey so intense and quiet that it's mildly intimidating LOLLL still get my macarons though bc it's just a quick grab hahaha read more

So this is probably my 5th time coming back to this place and it never disappoints!! The macaroons are always super cute and the flavors are to die for and the ingredients are high quality. One of my favorite things to gift to friends and family. It is just a walk up window so keep that in mind. The cashiers are always very sweet and amazing at going over options. read more

Cute little space in a strip mall, with tons of macaroon options with lots of flavor choices. We stopped to try the viral candied fruits. We got a skewer of strawberries and the berries were cold out the fridge with a crunchy candy coating over it. The uniqueness was there but it was not for me. The worker was a sweet young girl who was very nice. Next time I'd try a macaroon but all in all it's a nice little treat stop. read more

Tiktok seriously blew this place up! There is a line now when I go and I wanted to see the hype. I got the Grape Tanghulu and my friend got the Strawberry one. The grape was cold, crunchy, and super sweet. I think Tanghulu is just not for me (to finish the entire thing). I still pretty much enjoyed it and wanted to try it for the experience. My friend did try the strawberry one but didn't like it as much because of how frozen it was. Their dragon bearded candy was honestly the best when I used to come here for that. Glad to try the tanghulu, but now I gotta get back to my favorites LOL read more

I've been wanting to try tanghulus as they are so popular nowadays and I'm so glad to have found one that sells it so close my place! Strawberry tanghulu- 5/5: This one was SO good. The juiciness of the strawberry with the sweetness of the sugar paired so well together. The strawberry pieces were also huge. This is a must try!! Grape tanghulu- 3/5: This one paled in comparison to the strawberry. It was good but not as sweet or juicy as the strawberry. I'd pass on this and try a different fruit. Will definitely be coming back to try the other fruits! read more

We come here for tanghulu and honestly it's hit or miss. The shell is nice and crunchy but the skewers are not made fresh so the strawberries leak juice and it is a mess to eat. Still delicious. Just a bit stressful to eat especially with the kids. I wish they provided some type of tray to catch the mess: read more

yeah so me, my cousin, my cousins sister who's also my cousin, the bf of my cousin who's the sister of my other cousin, and the gf of the first cousin i mentioned, all came here to try the tanghulu. we got the tangerine, grape, and strawberry. and honestly man u just cannot mess these up. the strawberry was mid compared to the other fruits tho bc it wasn't as sweet. but damn that tangerine was prob the best tangerine i've ever had. it was like cold and the citrus busted right as i took that bite. and with that sweet coating... absolutely thrilling. the grape was pretty good too. bruh they fosho don't go organic here bc the fruit they use r hella gargantuan. but i will say it's a bit expensive. they making good profits fosho. read more

I searched out Sweet Box in my quest for Dragon's Beard Candy for the Chinese New Year . This was the only place I found in Southern California that makes this specialty. (Google it!!) Sweet Box is a walk up counter shop in The Source Mall in Buena Park. They hand-make Dragons Beard year-round. It is a labor intensive, lost art process. They also specialize in French Macrons. The young woman working there was very nice. I could see that several other people were working in the back, where the sweets are all made on-site. This is a walk up counter, so no "store" or seating area. It is in a mall that primarily caters to Asian clients, predominantly Korean. Lots of variety in the shopping and dining options. read more

When I heard a local OC spot was selling Tanghulu (a Chinese candied fruit snack), I knew I had to pay them a visit. You can try strawberry (my favorite of the 3!), tangerine, and grape at Sweet Box - of course I had to try all three! They were sweet (a little too sweet for me) and had a nice crunch. I highly recommend sharing one unless you have a sweet tooth. read more

Wanted a sweet treat on my way out of the Source at OC & saw the line had gone down. While their macarons are cute (and a little pricey for my taste), my eyes were drawn to their tanghulu. I've always wanted to try it and this seemed like the perfect moment. Got the strawberry one for $5.50 (they also had a grape option). The strawberries were pretty sizable, but I was just impressed with how their sweetness was only amplified by the sugar coating. Got a little messy on my clothes/rug, but they give a napkin and muffin wrap to reduce the spillage. A tasty treat for something you can't find at a lot of! read more

My son recommended this store when we were staying at the Fairfield across the street from the Source. I purchased some of their standard macarons. They were VERY fresh, but more importantly, delicious. They were better than any of the macarons I ate while in France. If you are in search for some light sweetness - this is your place. read more

Such a cute place! I used to come here more often but as they got popular the line has become so long I dont really want to wait in it. They overall have solid macarons with nice chewy textures.

Here for Macaron and Tanghulu! For macarons, I got the boba and smiley face character. I think the boba is boba milk tea flavor. The smiley face is pandan flavor which I enjoy. I got the green grape tanghulu and it's tasty. The sugar coat is crunchy, but not too hard like other places. I'll definitely recommend the tanghulu even though it's pricey at $5. read more

First time trying Tanghulu and it was very good the tanginess and sweetness from the outside she'll make for a perfect combo. The visual appeal of the shinny candy was so nice that it made me not want to eat it. We also had the birthday cake macaron that was delicious. The location was an outdoor mall so it was ideal to walk around and snack on our sweets. read more
