IT’SUGAR

I’m kind of embarrassed to say that I come here somewhat often. It’s not them… it’s me. I eat way more candy than I should.
They are super friendly when you walk in, and the candy is always SUPER fresh. I never realized that all the sour patch kids I have had in my life were stale until I had some from this store.
However, I always leave having spent an exorbitant amount of money on candy. due to the fact that it’s just kind of expensive. I always feel like I would have gotten a better deal if I had just gone to the candy aisle at CVS. The selection isn’t super amazing, it’s all the same stuff. You’re essentially just paying more to have it all mixed up in the same bag, while being surrounded by overly saturated colors, gag gifts and incredibly loud music.

I stopped by here a few days ago after leaving work late at night. Let’s just say, I had a sweet tooth for some candy. I generally avoid Cando shops because of the extremely high prices per pound that you’ll be paying for candy.
Anyway, as I walked in, it’s quiet and there’s a large amount of candy to choose from. You have your choice of gummy candies to chocolates. As little as I put into my bag, I paid almost $ 15. Yes, it was that much. It was around half a pound of gummy candy and half a pound of chocolate candy.
I really did see a lot of my child hood favorites available. You can choose from Sour Patch, Tootsie Rolls, Blow Pops, Reese’s Cups and so forth. It was actually too much of a choice and although I tried to get a bit of everything, I decided to take a break and not do so!
So yes, if you’re uninterested in traveling to Dylan’s Candy Bar, stop by here. Downtown Brooklyn has been heavily gentrified in the last few years and the quality of shops here have definately improved.

I popped in here to check out everything cute and colorful. I have been to the one in Coney Island which is way too noisy and crowded but this one is more mellow. I played with stuffed Pinky Pie toys, sniffed skittles candles, and laughed at ridiculous fridge magnets. I dig this place. There’s also Japanese treats as well which I love.

This place is a little on the expensive side but I love it so much that its easy to overlook. There are so many different options to choose from that I sometimes feel overwhelmed and I end up buying too much. On top of their awesome candy selection, their employees are so friendly and helpful!

A great stop on the hunt for different kinds of holiday candy. I went hunting for a few interesting additions to my kid’s Easter basket that I couldn’t find other places. I wasn’t disappointed. It is expensive, and though not outrageously so, I wouldn’t go here for things like pop rocks or other more common confections that you can get other places at about ½ the price if you are willing to look.

I’m a sucker for pastels and sugar! this place delivers.
After visiting the Transit museum the nephew and I stopped in to get some fuel for the train ride. We each found something that made us giddy and were really impressed by the selection. Our choices included pop rocks, which made for a hilarious train trip!
The staff is giddy, like they must get paid in candy giddy. I am debating applying.

Best candy and freshest by a mile. Now, to my imagined slights and grievances section. There is a counter guy there who is artificially positive, but that seems to be a requirement at the store because i get screamed ‘WELCOME” at every time I need a fix. But this gent asked me to donate a dollar to buy some charity candy. I politely said no. Not fifteen seconds later he asks again. Miffed, I keep my game face on as the candy is almost inside me, and say nein danke again. Right before giving me a heinous final bill (I just can’t believe i can eat thirty dollars in bulk candy in one sitting) he says «I mean it’s only a dollar…» and I get curt and say «No». I couldn’t believe the repetition, it seemed like he was trying to antagonize. I see how he could be disgusted by the amount of candy/​lack of charity, but it still sucked and i hated it. Worst candy buy of all time, and I fucking love candy.

I don’t even eat candy, but this store has GIANT candy. And that’s awesome.
Do you need a gummy worm the size of your leg? How about a box of nerds big enough to stuff actual nerds into? Why wouldn’t everyone want a Rice Krispy treat the size of a placemat?
And that’s not all.
They’ve got candy g-​strings and «How to Keep Your Husband» aprons (those are related), socks with funny sayings, humongous googly eyes, something called «Farts Around the World,» and Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups.
That last one isn’t really special, but I like them.

Friendly, energetic staff. Very helpful. Got to try a lot of candy before buying. Candy galore!

They have a good variety of candy you can purchase by the pound. They also have unique candy products like giant peanut butter cups. The staff is friendly and very helpful. Great candy and the toys there are so much fun! They are pricey but it won’t hurt every now and then. Not to mention, it is in a wonderful location!
Recommendation:
A great place to take kids for a treat.

Not for little kids. I can see how kids would love this place (candy!) but then there’s the sex candy and the candy cigarettes and the clothes with f*ck written on them. We’ll leave this place for the people headed to the movies.

Great candy store with a bunch of fun options! Staff is super friendly and helpful and there are lots of sale items as well. Perfect for novelty gifts or just a sugar rush. It is a bit on the pricier side, but a super fun store and a wonderful staff. They even carry my chocolate covered gummy bears too! Highly recommended!
