    $3.40 worth of candy
    M R.

    Cute looking store but the selection of candy was meh. Lots of the same stuff as you see at bon bon and candy king. Tried a few of their "unique" candies and they weren't terribly delicious. Also not sure if maybe they don't tare the scale, but 7 pieces of candy came to $3.40 which seems a bit steep even for nyc.

    Swedish candy is exploding all colors of a sugar rainbow in NYC! Amazing flavors, shapes, sizes, colors and chewy textures. Candyland in NYC Vannest just opened on Bleeker Street, a few months after Candy King opened on the same street. They are also doing a wonderful job with branding including merch and product packaging. Huge selection of flavors and types to pick and mix. Bubs, sours, marshmallows ... sugar high and mighty!

    The store was clean, fully stocked with a great candy selection, and it wasn't too busy when we went on the weekend! They candy is priced the same as the other candy shops, but they are all pricey. They had a lot of Bubs, which are my favorite.

    The Vannest Swedish Candy Company delivers a sugar rush with personality... whimsical, a little over-the-top, and very hard to stop eating. The banana marshmallows are addictive (in the best way), and the chocolate-dipped strawberry marshmallows taste like a fancy dessert disguised as candy. Not everything hit perfection, but the hits were so good I kept reaching back into the bag anyway. Four stars for a delightfully sweet experience in a sweet shoppe ambiance.

    The store has so much candy big candy selection

    They offer samples if you ask nicely. That's so nice. Bon bon doesn't offer samples. I like this better than bon bon!

    Sparkling clean, this place may have ruined me. The foam is unique and the flavors are spot on. Loved stopping by here!

    If you're a candy and sweets person then Bonbon should be on your list. This is a smaller location…read morecompared to other shop in Brooklyn I have been to. 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. Scoop as much as you want into a bag but be aware that it can get pricey. Everything looks delish and the store is very clean. The staff here is nice and helpful Quality stuff and much better than that which you find in drug stores and supermarkets.

    I have been wanting to go to one of the Bonbon stores in person. I really wanted to experience…read morechoosing my own candies and getting the vibe of the store. Life has been a little crazy lately. 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.

    (I visited late evening, Thursday, August 28, 2025). 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!

    Just left there where I was accused of stealing drug paraphernalia. Some dumb novelty mug pipe…read morecombo thing. I don't smoke or use cannabis so it's literally of no use to me. 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.
