I totally learned about this place on Tik Tok & had wanted to try it for awhile. When I stumbled across it unplanned I knew I had to try. Im really glad I did bc Swedish candy is just too good. I dont know if its the actual flavor or the texture; perhaps both. I absolutely loved every option I had selected. read more

If you're a candy and sweets person then Bonbon should be on your list. This is a smaller location compared 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. read more

I visited this store and thought it was such a vibe! The workers were all so sweet and helped me pick some good options. I am from Kansas so we don't have any Swedish candy there. I am a beginner but felt very safe and loved all the options they suggested! read more

I have been wanting to go to one of the Bonbon stores in person. I really wanted to experience choosing 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. read more

I'm not really a candy person, more of a chocolate person. Got a mixed bag of these and was pleasantly surprised. They were soft, not too sugary, and something I could see my nieces enjoy read more

If you're into gummy candy and an old school candy shop vibe then you'll definitely enjoy Bonbon. My one complaint is that they don't offer descriptions of the candy underneath the labels. They have allergens listed but not general ingredients. I didn't realize that some of the chocolates I got had gummy candy in them so that would've been nice to know. read more

Bonbon - A Swedish Candy - Candy Stores Near Me - New York, New York

Very very disappointed in the customer service here! I was dying to try literally anything here as they're gone viral everywhere but my experience left me with a bad taste in my mouth. There were two other women inside when I walked in. One was at the register while I was checking out the chocolate section. Both girls were so nice to her, they made conversation with her and everything ... BOTH OF THEM! I asked them if they had dark chocolate, they said no and laughed. I settled on a milk chocolate bar with some almonds for my mom. I walked to the register, one girl went to the back and then came out and they had a whole conversation in front of me about their lunch order. It was insane! I felt like I was invisible. It was sad really. I didn't even want to take my instagram picture in front of their store, I went to the side. It was a shame they couldn't be nicer to me and I really hope it wasn't because I was a Latina. Do better Bonbon ... or at least teach your staff to be nicer to EVERYONE! read more

Have been wanting to try Bonbon for a while now and spotted this location while walking around. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Going in, I knew which gummies I wanted to purchase. We paid around 10 dollars for about 20 pieces of candy. Overall, I enjoyed the taste of the gummies but some had funky flavors. read more

Bonbon - A Swedish Candy - Candy Stores Near Me - New York, New York

This a cute place with a menagerie of gummies and chocolate sweets. It's a small shop but it's cozy and very cutely decorated. Our favorite is the cola pacifiers, the banana marshmallow, gluten free penguin, rainbow seahorse, French nougat, and Jelly Cows. It's so pricey tho. We got like 12 pieces and it was $4.90. But the bags and postcards are so cute and they don't change extra! read more

A must while you're in the city!!! Excellent service, an amazing variety of quality candy! And a great variety of readily packed assortment! It's awesome that they're open so late and they let you try whatever you're curious about. Try the sours if you love that type. Sorry not sorry, because you're gonna fall in love with them! read more

Bonbon - A Swedish Candy - The light at the end of the tunnel... A must while in NYC! - Candy Stores Near Me - New York, New York

I ordered candy from here from Uber eats and some candies were excellent and some were horrible. I really wish they would put less of the gummies with the white bottoms. I just don't like those ones. The packaging and candies are very pretty and would make a cute gift. read more

My boyfriend and I like the call the employees here Oompa Loompas cause they are always so happy and willing to work as if they were literally working at Charlie's Chocolate Factory. They always have a great selection (even when skulls aren't in stock ). I love it here, never any complaints! I suggest: Swedish fish, cotton candy skulls, and any and every soft candy. Ask for a sample, they never say No! lol read more

Even with all the hype, I was definitely impressed with Bonbon! Their candies definitely stood out to me as unique in both taste and texture. The strawberry marshmallow was delicious -- somewhere between a Starburst and an actual marshmallow in terms of chewiness, and a subtle strawberry flavor that hit the spot. I could eat so many without feeling like my pancreas was screaming for help (even though it probably would). The sours are really great as well, they pack a punch. So many unique flavors that warrant more than one trip! I definitely see the appeal. It's a little pricy for a candy store, but what isn't on the Upper East Side of Manhattan? Plus the space gets crowded very quickly, with many folks vying for the same candy real estate, leading to occasional candy crushes (see what I did there?). All in all, well worth a visit if you're in the neighborhood! read more

This place is filled with women excited for yummy Swedish candy and their boyfriends muttering about how it can't be that much better than normal candy. Like most things in the world, the men are wrong. The candies at bonbon are incredible. Not sure I'll ever eat another sour patch kid again. Absolutely t and worth it. I just wish it were a little bigger and had more variety but I hear it does change things out often. read more

I was pretty excited to go to Bonbon on a Saturday evening after dinner. I'm sure I got over a pound of candy! I got a good mix of every candy that was not individually wrapped or chocolate. It was a gummy and licorice buffet. I got sweet ones, salty ones, fruity ones, a few sour ones, etc. If lived anywhere near this I'd be here all the time! The Bubs skulls are really so good! I'm sure I'll be back one day when I'm in the city again! read more

Bonbon - A Swedish Candy - Bonbon Gummy Assortment - Candy Stores Near Me - New York, New York

I Love Bon Bon & this location is was absolutely delightful !! my boyf & I were extremely impressed !! We went on a Saturday afternoon & it was very busy.. there was a fairly long line .. we waited around 15 min to walk in & it's a pretty small space so a bit of a squeeze inside. But the people working were extremely sweet & helpful. The shop was very clean & filled w a fun selection of sweets. The lady who helped us check Out was the most sweet helpful person ever. Wish I got her name but she was great! Big Thanks to her. My fav candy store. I love it here !! read more

If you like gummy candy or licorice this is the candy shop for you. They have traditional and novelty Swedish candy. You can mix and match to try a variety of candies. read more

I came on a random Saturday around 11AM and was the only customer and the workers were really nice and let me tried a couple of pieces first! Most of their more popular candy was out and only like 70% of the bins were filled. My favorites were the rum chocolate, large flat candy coated chocolate, wrapped mint chocolate, coconut chocolate, and the sour strips! The lips were a little too chewy and the salt licorice was not it for me. Right before I left a large group of 10ish people came in and it was instantly too crowded. Overall a cute shop, not worth the huge hype or waiting in line like I've seen in the LES! read more

Bonbon - A Swedish Candy - Candy Stores Near Me - New York, New York

What a cute candy store for the neighborhood. Most if not all the candy inside is from Sweden. The store is very well organized and clean. The lady working there was super nice as I told her I had many food allergies and she said which products I could have. She let me taste some of them before I decided if I wanted to purchase them or not. I ended up buying ones that she suggested I buy. Highly recommend checking this place out. read more

Give Max a raise he's like the Willy wonka of Bonbon great presentation and very knowledgeable . I haven't really been to a candy shop in a long time. But today I wanted to give this a shot since I've saw it on The Mark's IG for Halloween. The shop is pretty clean and neat knowing that kids bombard this place daily. I got some sour candy and a few chocolates the Karl Farer is my fav one. read more

Great! Love the selection! Keep it up! Enjoyed upper east side. Hit up Bloomies while in the area.

One thing is for certain, I am ecstatic that BonBon has opened another location which, for me, is much easier to get to than their Williamsburg location (note, I haven't been to their LES location). Their hours are quite ideal for any candy-o-holic - they open at 10am and close at midnight - every day! My first visit to this new location was during their soft opening. I just finished a nearby Rumble workout so it was the perfect reward. This store is on the smaller side when comparing to the Williamsburg location, and it does seem like they have less candy options, but don't you worry - I still found more than enough to fill my bag. They have made good use of the small space fitting in quite a selection. The concept is simple, grab a bag, grab a *clean* scoop, then have at it! Each candy is separated by different bins. You can add as much or as little as you'd like to your bag. I'm a big gummy fan so I tend to get a couple of each of my favorites so I can have a good variety. I wish I knew the names for the types of candies because they're not necessarily easy to describe. The tube shaped ones have been a surprising favorite for me. Most recently I also tried a few wrapped chocolates and found a lovely mint chocolate. After you're done, bring your bag (and *dirty* scoop - they'll take it to clean) to the register to check out. Pricing is by weight. Typically I spend about $20 each time I stop by, and I get a good amount of candy for that price. The quality is unmatched so it's definitely a worthwhile value to me. Can't wait to stop by again soon to satisfy my sweet tooth! read more

Bonbon - A Swedish Candy - Candy Stores Near Me - New York, New York

Bon Bon in the Upper East Side sells Swedish candy. Similar to It's Sugar, they allow the customer to shovel the candy into the bags and pay up from without assistance. This definitely means a decent amount of bacteria in the candy and poses a risk to anyone who dares enter the establishment. The food here is not bad, some of it is very tasty, especially if you have a sweet tooth. The only big red flag that I notice constantly when I walk even near the establishment is the stanchion with a red rope holding back the 4 person at most line like they are a luxury store with high standards. Who do they think they are? The smell in the store could also use some work, it smells so artificial. The service is mediocre/helpful. They are not overly nice. read more

Bon Bon Swedish Candy, located on the Upper West Side, is a hidden gem for candy lovers! They have an incredible selection of Swedish candy, and if you're a fan of green apple flavor like me, you're in for a treat. Everything green apple-flavored was my favorite! The store is very clean, and I appreciated the attention to hygiene--they provide clean scoops for customers to use, and when you're done, there's a designated bin to place the used scoop. You can scoop as many different types of candy as you want into a single bag, which makes it perfect for trying a variety of sweets. The whole experience was fun and easy, and I'll definitely be back for more! read more

Love this place! It's definitely on the pricier side but the candy is really delicious, especially the salted black licorice! I wish you could try things before you buy them and that they would provide gloves along with the scooper to make things more sanitary. read more

Bonbon - A Swedish Candy - Candy Stores Near Me - New York, New York

What really turns me away is the pricing. I'm a big fan of Swedish candies (especially the ones with white backs), but I just can't get over how expensive it is just for a few pieces of candy. This is just not worth the hype especially when the selection isn't that vast. read more

Had to come here to see that the tik tok hype is about. To be honest I don't get it. It's a very small candy shop. Mostly gummy candies. I tried several different options and just wasn't impressed. It was cheap enough. I don't know the weight of what I got but it was less than $5 to sample basically one of each. I love candy and just didn't care for anything. The only thing I liked was the gummy rat. The store was way too small and so cramped too. I do wish the employees made more of an attempt to provide info on the candy. We had to keep asking because the titles weren't descriptive enough. read more

What's not to like about this store! Just go there and try everything you can! It's a small store with lots of selection.

Just like the pictures and honestly I thought it was going to be more expensive so a win is a win!

There is so many things I love about this place. I love how late it is open, me and my girlfriend come frequently later at night or after dinner if we want a sweet treat. I have seen other reviews complain about the price and I have to really disagree, the fact you can get as much or as little candy as you want is why I love this place. We come and get 10-15 pieces of candy and it comes out to $4. I think that is totally reasonable. I treat it as if I was to go out and get ice cream and it cost $4 I would be thrilled! We obviously have some of our favorites like the grapefruit bottle and the bonbons but this place is fun and always switching out their candy to try new things! Give this place a try! It's so much fun and can't miss the pink exterior read more

Such a cute candy shop! There was no line when we arrived and we were even able to sample some of the candies from a super helpful and friendly employee. The peach rings are exceptionally tasty. My kids loved the other candies, but I was not a fan. Definitely worth a visit if you're in the area. read more

This small store has a good variety of Swedish candy but they were out of many varieties and quite a few of the shelves were empty. They had chocolate, fruit based, sour and salty (licorice) candies. The candy is less sweet than US candy and the gummys have a good texture with the fruit flavors pretty pronounced. The candy in the bins is charged by the pound. You grab a bag and clean scoop and put what you want into the bag. They then weigh the bag to determine the cost. It's so easy to get carried away! When I was there it was mostly teens and kids in the store. There isn't a ton of space to move around. I look foward to visiting the other locations. read more

This place is so fun! I've been wanting to try this forever, and it definitely met the hype around it. The marshmallows are my favorite and I filled a whole bag for ~$5 (for those complaining about the price, you clearly haven't been to the Nuts Factory) read more

If there was a ZERO STAR selection this would be the choice. All I can say is what a joke. Don't waste your time or money on this ridiculous TikTok candy store hype. The store was tiny, overcrowded and absolutely terrible service. But the real zinger is 90% of the candy bins were empty as well as filthy. Bonbon should enjoy the business now because when customers get wise to just how lame it is the doors will permanently close. Sounds harsh but very true. If you want a real candy shop and not a temporary fad, try THE SWEET SHOP on East 73rd:) read more
