It’s Sweet to be Elite Event @ Sugarfina

This review is long overdue…
Although this store is geared for adults, the moment I stepped in, I was a child again! I honestly wished I could’ve tried every flavor, but I had to stop myself before I got overloaded with sugar. They gave out main samples such as: champagne bears, aphrodite strawberries, fuji apple caramel, fruity loops, malt scotch cordials, peach bellini, long stem roses, and martini olive almonds. I’m not sure if I miss any others, but I definitely tried to keep an eye out for any new samples that came out. They also let us taste other stuff that was available by simply asking one of the staffs. I also requested to try the matcha green tea caramels and aphrodite kumquat which were both interesting in their own ways. My favorite was definitely the aphrodite strawberries. If given the chance, I can eat it all day.
I wanted to try more, but my stomach can only handle so much candy in one sitting. I wish they had set up different tasting stations instead so we didn’t have to keep bothering the staff and making them go in and out when we wanted to try specific ones. I haven’t gone back since the event, but I’m definitely craving to go back!

Being a Unilocal Elite is a privilege, and a sweet one for sure. This was a really relaxing and pleasant social on a Tuesday night.
The first thing I noticed when I walked into the beautiful boutique store was how pristine everything looked. Not a speck of dirt or a strand of hair lingering around. The uniform way that all the chocolates and candies are packaged or wrapped also makes everything so neat and appealing. It’s different than the free flowing presentation of candies at other shops. All the staff were also really sweet and attentive. They came around with various flavors, my favorite being the white chocolate martini olives. I brought a small box home for my partner. He loves it! I won’t forget to mention the bottomless champagne!
The sweetest part about being Elite, though, is making friends. Thanks, Courtney for hosting an event that even Adam Levine would have approved. We all need a little sweetness in our lives.

Such a cute candy store with great ‘adult’ candy variation offerings!!! How often do you get to sip on champagne and then get to try all the candy you ever wanted? This was really a fun Unilocal event to be a literal kid in a candy store :)
I really love the clean layout of the store and all the organized and oh so cute packaging of all the candies on display. Its great that you can ask for samples of everything and they’ll just pop in the back and get you a sample that is individually wrapped.
My fave candies I got to try were the champagne gummy bears, the matcha green tea caramel balls and the single scotch malt balls. Really though, everything was good and because of the sugar high, I wanted to buy everything!!!
It was really nice that we were able to get $ 10 off our purchase at this event. I was able to buy myself a nice candy gift for myself as well as pick up something for a friend I am seeing in a couple of days. I purchased 2 of the cocktail hour giftboxes which contained all the boozy candies :)
I definitely will be coming back to buy more sweets as gifts … for me… and maybe for other people :)
Thanks for hosting a fantastic event Courtney!
Missed you a bunch Abby!

This is my first elite event and it was absolutely wonderful. Street parking was such an annoyance to find, but once I found parking and walked into Sugarfina, life just got so much… sweeter? :)
Checked into the event and got a free Unilocal ice cube tray, so adorbs! The lovely hosts of Sugarfina also gave each person who came a $ 10 gift card to purchase anything in the store. So thoughtful!
Despite Sugarfina being a really tiny boutique, it was fairly easy to walk around and mull over which candies to try without bumping into too many people. The people who hosted the event brought out champagne and sparkling water, along with certain favorite candies out in sample cups.
After realizing that you could actually try out anything you see, so long as you ask someone to give you a sample, my +1 and I found it difficult to choose what to sample from the ginormous and beautiful wall of candies in these cute adorable little plastic boxes. I felt really bad that the Sugarfina staff had to keep going back and forth into the back to bring individual samples out to people, perhaps it could have been done better by standing around and giving out certain popular ones, but I feel like the boutique itself is too tiny for this to happen without overcrowding certain areas of the room. No matter though, because I got to sample at least 20 different candies and it was so interesting trying out the «adult» candies such as the single malt scotch cordial dark chocolate bites, and the maple caramel bourbon was interesting as well. Most of the candy is imported from other countries, and the gummies were my absolute favorite!
The tiny boxes are each at least $ 7, which is a bit cringeworthy given the fact that it’s chocolate, but if you can’t make up your mind, why not take home a candy tasting box? They’re these adorable well-​packaged boxes with 8 different candies, all in small enough samples of about 5 – 8 pieces each. They each have a theme, such as «Gummy Love» and «Cocktail Hour». Totally worth the $ 25, and make a great present to bring home to your friends who are eyeing your snapchats with jealousy as you share your Unilocal elite experience at Sugarfina.
Wound up having to purchase two candy tasting boxes, and a couple of my personal favorites in tiny boxes, such as the long-​stemmed roses and the single-​malt scotch cordials, and that gift card finally came handy. Totally worth the splurging for candy in this fabulous boutique, and I will definitely be back for more in the near future.
This was definitely one for the books, and I will definitely be talking about Sugarfina with all my girlies who love sweets and sugar. Great idea for small events like bridal and baby showers, and I’ll definitely be keeping this place in mind for small presents as well!
In the meantime, SYOY.

What a great event! I über pooled here right after work and made it to the event around 6:30 or so. The place is adorable! I have been a fan of Sugarfina ever since I discovered them last year at Nordstrom. I checked in and met Unilocal ambassador Courtney and forgot to check in on my Unilocal app and claim my Unilocal ice tray but it’s totally fine — there’s next time. I checked out the goods and asked the employees what their most popular items were and they pointed out some of the gummies and showed me one of their walls of all time faves.
It was great to see Unilocalers I haven’t in a long time and catch up on what they’ve been up to. The folks who were there for the event were wonderful and kept their trays filed with candy for us to try. They also served champagne and sparkling water. I’m laying off alcohol for now so I opted for the sparkling water served in green bottles with adorable paper straws.
The candy was great. I loved the martini olives and picked out a box to take home as well some gummies and fruity balls. I can’t believe I missed the chocolate covered bacon but I will definitely be back to check those out soon. the space is cute and well lit and is a candy lovers paradise. It’s pricey but each piece of candy is well made and unique. Definitely recommend. Great ideas for parties, baby showers or birthday gifts! Thanks for hosting such a great event. And Yes ABBY — you were missed but it was great to see Courtney there as well. Thanks again!

My sweet tooth was on fire last night at Sugarfina. I really enjoyed chatting with Chris, the store manager, who was very helpful in describing the various treats they had to offer.
I sampled the ever so famous champagne bears, peach Bellini, and hearts on fire. The hearts on fire has a surprising kick due to the ginger. This stuff is like gourmet gummy bears. You can’t go wrong!
What I actually came in here looking for was the selection of Greek chocolate. The Aphrodite kumquat and Athena black cherry are my favorites! The chocolate berry basket was something new that caught my eye. I sure will be stocking up on these goodies with the $ 10 candy card provided by Sugarfina!
Thanks Courtney for being the sweetest hostess. Looking forward to making my way back to the Marina.

ADORABLE ADULT CANDY STORE ~ FABULICIOUS!!!
Where was this Tiffany-​like candy store when I got married 12 years ago, better yet… where have you been all my adult life? I’m so in love with this store, can’t wait to come back. Thanks to the kind folks at Sugarfina, we all received a $ 10 giftcard towards any purchase, and most of us put it to good use. Customers can choose to purchase a few of their signature boxes and customize their own artisanal chocolates, many of which you can only find here.
Thank you Courtney M. for being our hostess with the mostess on a Thursday night; I was ecstatic to find out I got in via waitlist. It’s been a hot minute since I’ve been to any SF YEE’s, and it was nice to see old & new faces. I miss my SF Yelites sooooo much. It was great to catch up over some bubbly, hearts of bellini, champange gummy bears, and delectable chocolates. The martini olive almonds were a hit, and I bought some to fool my hubby — he loves green olives. He didn’t realize they were candy lol. The gummy roses were also a huge hit, as I mentioned like the show «The Bachelor», we all received a beautiful rose on this lovely evening (wink, wink).
Thank you Sugarfina for your hospitality and allowing us to try endless samples, everything tasted divine. Thanks to Unilocal for organizing another fun event for us Unilocalers to indulge in. I’m making my own champagne Unilocal gummies with the ice tray, it can serve as a multi-​purpose tray :)
‘Til we meet again ~ SYOY!
P. S. We did miss seeing your sweet beautiful face Abby xoxo!

I ate a nice, healthy salad for dinner before this event so I could INDULGE… and indulge we did!
Candy, chocolate, champagne, more candy!!!
What a great event. I had not been to this incredible boutique before and I’m so glad that Unilocal led me to it. I walked away with the most charming custom candy bento box for my friend’s birthday present!
A special shout-​out to the Sugarfina staff! They really worked their buns off to spoil us with candy samples and beverages. What fabulous hosts we had!
Thank you for the invite– I had a wonderful time
Abby, we missed you! Xoxoxox

Super cute candy store! I can definitely feel the LA vibe and it fits in Cow Hollow.
There’s so much candy and it’s great that I can ask for a sample of everything the store offers. They did run out of some (the samples come out already wrapped), so I’ll definitely come back to try out more candy.
And I love the new Unilocal swag: ice cube trays!
Thanks for the candy and champagne Courtney, Unilocal,and Sugarfina!
