SweetBu Candy is a sweet local boutique that elevates the candy store experience. It's perfect if you're looking for a joyful, curated stop for nostalgic treats or special gifts, and don't mind paying a bit more. We bought a mason jar full of candies and chocolates of our choice. Cashier was nice checked us out with a smile. Also, gave us cute little trinkets at no cost. Outside the shop, there was a small Fairy Garden which gave it a special touch. read more

Great selection fabulous toy assortment the woman who works there is LOVELY. Omg so sweet. Owner is absolutely miserable and so rude. On her phone the entire time gets annoyed when you as basic questions ex: where are your 3d printed animals or asked re a specific type of candy they have. Literally hardly looked up form her phone ZERO SMILES. Fit should work at dmv not a children's candy store. Came back th next day to buy more 3d printed animals and there was a lovely young girl working there. Would def stick to the staff and honestly I can buy everything elsewhere was trying to support a local business meh read more

Although Sweet Bu Candy wasn't around when I grew up in Malibu, I wish it had been! Located in the Trancas Shopping Center across from Zuma beach and Broadbeach Road, this candy shop is a total gem. With everything from nostalgic treats to gourmet chocolates, the selection is amazing, and the staff is always friendly and welcoming. Whether you're grabbing a quick snack or something special, Sweet Bu Candy is a must-visit spot for anyone with a sweet tooth in Malibu. read more

I felt like a kid and a candy store LOL there was so much to choose from I had to try a little bit of everything! This place is located in a small plaza but you have to go towards The middle because it's not visible from the parking lot. I love how they have dipping dots because you can't find us everywhere! I tried sour candies watermelon as well as chocolate. They're toffee chocolate was yummy! Everything was delish! They come in little mason jars. Plenty of parking and so much candy i was happy! They also have stuffed cute stuffed animals! IG @haangrykitty Enjoy the choco and candy everyone!

BF decided to scare the Bejesus out me with a white knuckle drive down Decker Cyn. The light at the end of the tunnel, Canyon, was a trip to Trancas market. Nestled in the back of the marketplace is the cutest little candy shop. Absolute joy took over finding nostalgia from my teen years in the 80's! Candy flavored glosses! read more

SweetBu Candy - Candy Stores Near Me - Malibu, California

This place sparks serious joy. I took 2 13 year olds here and it was a best day ever experience. Thank you SweetBu!

What a joke! You can buy the exact same candy at the Dollar Store for a FRACTION of the price. It looks to me like they bought one of those bags of assorted candy at Walmart.....sorted it into bins and then thry charge you an extravagant amount. Be sure to ask for the price of each item, as nothing is marked. Our 2 granddaughters picked out 1 teeny tootsie roll one tiny DumDum sucker, 2 gum containers and a skewer type candy with about 5 gummie type candies on it and it came to over $18.00. i was standing outside the store with one of our granddaughters when the clerk gave my husband the total. He was too proud and aslo didn't want to disappoint the granddaughters , so he paid for it! Seriously, just go to the $ Store.....there is nothing special in the store! read more

First time in Cali and I had to stop by the cutest candy boutique. So many varieties of candies and SQUISHMALLOWS!!! The owner and staff were super sweet and helpful. We were so unexpectedly lucky to come on their restock day and were excited to find our DISO's. I highly recommend and will definitely come again! read more

SweetBu Candy - Squishmallows - Candy Stores Near Me - Malibu, California

The staff are always friendly and helpful. The only time I was dissatisfied with anything is when they ran out of boba!

Heard about this cute little gem through TikTok and am so glad I did! They have such a variety of different candies! I'm a girl who can't live without gummies, especially sour gummies, and they satisfied my sweet tooth 10000% Definitely will stop by every time we're in Malibu! read more

I wanted to try something new. SweetBu is great. They have a lot of cool stuff that you couldn't find at an average candy store. I love the vibe you get when you walk into the store. The lady at the front desk was nice and willing to help me. They also take Apple Pay and that was very convenient for me because I bring my iPhone everywhere and do not carry cash. The only thing that was not for me was the location, I like Malibu, but it is in a spot in Malibu that tends to be pretty far from Los Angeles, Orange County, etc. I also like the shopping area. read more

Melissa was helpful and fun! We picked 3 chocolates from three different countries and had a blinded taste test after dinner with our 4 kids. It initiated some curiosity about the world. Newman consensus - Germany makes great chocolate and vaccines! read more

SweetBu Candy - a variety of chocolate bars - Candy Stores Near Me - Malibu, California

They changed their prices to $50 per large squishmallow while we were all in line. The change in prices was so disheartening and everyone started leaving with almost no squish. The vibe was so heartbreaking as customers left with almost empty hands and sad faces. read more

I highly recommend checking them out as well as the other small boutiques and shops in the immediate area read more

Wow, I don't even know where to begin. My family was taking a ride down the PCH for some good seafood when our car was T-boned. The police gave us a ride to a near-by market in Malibu. I went to get our kids ice cream at SweetBu and after over hearing what had happened to us Melissa treated my kids to free ice cream and toys. It was the act of this altruistic shop owner, Melissa, that turned our day around. Please support this business. Please support Melissa. Thank you for showing us that acts of kindness from strangers still exists! read more

You're reading this to see if this place is worth the drive worth the risk worth your hard earned money we'll let me tell you yes it is! This place has all the HTF squishmallows along with many more and they have VEGAN candy !! We were so pleased and appreciated Melissa's help she is doing everything and anything she can to get these squishmallows for us collectors even driving to the factory itself to get them because everyone knows it's hard to keep full stock and that's how she manages to have a variety of squish's every time you go i was in such a rush these days i went to her store but WOW does SweetBu deserve these 5 Stars they even have cheaper prices then mystical gifts i've waited in lines just to get a $50-70 squishmallow from them but she cares and has cheaper prices than mercari and offerup i've gotten the rest of my iso's but i just love the variety now i can find ones i didn't even know i wanted! read more

I love this candy store! I live in the Bay Area but ordering custom gifts from Sweet Bu in Southern CA. is easy and fun thanks to the friendly and incredibly creative owner Melissa. For Christmas, I ordered my family candies, delicious chocolates, pretty candles and the most wonderful smelling oils. The order was shipped within just a few days with plenty of Sweet Bu packaging and decor for cute wrapping. This store is awesome for all ages! My husband, my two teenage daughters and my 70 year old parents loved their gift bags! Today is Valentines Day and I couldn't wait to shower my family with more Sweet Bu love!

We enjoy coming to Sweet Bu after we eat a Kristy's and play at the beach. We always have a great time at Sweet Bu!

Updated June 4: went back to this amazing place for more Squishy's - the line was around the block but the woman who runs the store managed the process so well. She's so fair and does everything she can to keep the scalpers out! I totally respect the way she runs her business - even the limits placed on what can be bought - because at the end of the day everyone should have a chance to get these amazing stuffies! Thank you again SweetBu for serving us so well. I'll be back next time at exactly 10:11 to happily wait in line! read more

Great little candy store in the middle of a cute shopping center! She has English chocolates and other hard-to-find candy. They also do cute bags for parties. Next time we are in "The Bu," we'll definitely stop back by. read more

Such a great owner! Can't get better than her. Been many times and she's always engaged and what more can you expect?

Just had the best chocolate almonds, and love the warm feeling when you walk in. Got to talk with the owner and she was so personable!

Super small and sweet people and family ran business!

I love sweetbu! Such a sweet team and an adorable store with the best stuff! Highly recommend checking them out :)

Best candy store in Malibu! Much more than just candy (of which there is every kind in every category imaginable), great candy themed gifts, candles, toys, charmed necklaces, soaps and scrubs, perfume oils and lip glosses that will take you back to your childhood. Sweet Melissa Bu has also set up a "candy bar" for my holiday party and packaged special gifts for me. She takes special orders from my son and makes every kid feel like a special customer whether they're spending a $50 candy credit or $1.50 on taffy. It's a happy place. read more
