I'm glad that they still were so nice and helpful even if I came a couple minutes before closing. The girls were so sweet! The place has a wise assessment of candy and the pricing is reasonable based on what you get. I still have a small bag of candy and it's lasted me this long and i got it last week. read more

Candycopia - what you see when you first walk in - Candy Stores Near Me - Oak Park, Illinois

I had so much fun collaborating with the owner on a sour candy challenge for our block party. Kids and adults loved it, and I appreciated the creativity and attention to detail that seems built into the customer experience. 10/10 would recommend. Here's to more fun!!! read more

Stopped in for some dessert after lunch at Scratch. The place is nicely decorated and they have plenty of candy options to choose from. The staff was very friendly and my only gripe was that I wanted to mix some chocolate with my gummies but I was told it had to be in separate bags. Denied. I went with some gummie selections and they were great. A cute little shop to hit while walking around in oak park. Next time I want the chocolate covered candy corn. Sounds awesome. read more

My son loves this place! He did the $10 hunt game today and thought it was great! Some good sweets for the vegan/keto/women owned/independent artisan candy lovers too! read more

Such a fun store! There is a good variety of candy, both gummy and chocolate. The staff are incredibly helpful, very willing to give recommendations if needed. read more

We received a Candycopia candy bouquet as a gift for my 9 year old daughter. She absolutely loved the whole thing! It was the most unique gift she received. She kept yelling out the names of each candy and jumping up and down. When I asked her what she thought she said, "Fantastic! You are not allowed to eat it!" The display was adorable and could work for many types of occasions. The range of candy for ours was what you typically find in stores, which work well for our daughter. I believe the store has artisan candy options which could make for a delicious gourmet sweets gift! I will definitely be ordering these for future birthdays, holidays, and even teacher gifts! We also plan to visit the storefront as I have heard they have a lot of custom candies and unique treats!!! read more

Candycopia - Candy Stores Near Me - Oak Park, Illinois

Candycopia is a wonderful addition to Oak Park. The candy displays are so fun to see, the owners (who are fellow parents from our school) are just so lovely and helpful, and the candy and ice cream are amazing. I won a contest and got a free box of candy, and I am now addicted to their gummies - so juicy and flavorful. It is dangerous to have this cute candy shop in walking distance from my house. My 10 year old likes to walk there and have an ice cream on his own. He even went to try Apple Pay and they helped him figure it out. (He had a cash backup in case it didn't work.) I love that there is a fun option that welcomes the local kids. Yay Candycopia! read more

Candycopia - Candy sampler box - Candy Stores Near Me - Oak Park, Illinois

Delightful spot in the central part of Oak Park filled with plenty of goodies to soothe your sweet tooth. As you enter Candytopia has a glass jar of assorted candies that you can do per 1/4 lb bags or the tool set box. In other stations, you find chocolates, ice cream and some nostalgic options. Hands down the staff were just a gem. So helpful with selections and sharing on the other offerings of the shop such as private party options. Definitely check them out. Prices = Super Reasonable Parking = Street read more

Locally owned candy store on Lake Street in Oak Park. They have old school candy and modern items like cotton candy with liquor. Check out the jars and ask an employee for assistance. read more

The employees were nice and welcoming. One of them even explained the background of the store. I'm writing this review because I bought a couple chick o sticks from here a few months ago and I don't normally check the expiration date on candy when I first buy it.. But this chick o stick was light in color than usual so I checked the expiration date..it expired last year (2022) in September. How? How do you have candy that old in a fairly new store I wish I had seen this sooner but I only eat candy sometimes and figured it would still be fresh. It wasn't fresh the day I bought it. For shame for shame. read more

Candycopia - Expired Chick o sticks - Candy Stores Near Me - Oak Park, Illinois

I want to love this place.. I really do.. I'd say 80% of the time I check the hours, they are open, I show up and guess what. Private party.. I can't shop. This disappoints my daughter so much since she earn a trip to candycopia when her chores are done. Today we showed up around 11am and then again at 4:30p and we were turned away due to private parties. Very frustrating. Private events should happen outside of regular business hours. read more

Sweet deal pulled together by Mirella for Yelpers. Loved the Caramel Flight - especially the Sea Salt one - flavorful, yet so light. The chocolate one hit the spot as well - rich in tase. The Cider Lemon had good flavor, though tended to stick to the wrapper a bit - still enjoyed it. I also had a red wine flavored truffle. Quite an interesting shop with varieties of homemade, bulk and commercial candies available. Been there for a year - thankful for this offering as I didn't realize it was there - just a mile or so from where I live. I'll be back! read more

Better quality licorice than Target or CVS. and better chocolate. I moved out of state and need more scottie dog red licorice. It's a must for me to set up delivery read more

While Candycopia has yet to open its doors, I can already tell the Masons have created something more than your typical candy store. My husband gifted me to their treat tower as a Mother's Day present and every sweet I've unwrapped is better than the next - and totally unique! While the items could be enjoyed by young and old, the variety of selections and diversity of flavors made it feel like a special 'adult' treat that I haven't been quick to share with my kids :) Favorites so far have been the Lily's Chili's (think spicy sour-patch kids) and the CB Stuffers (ENORMOUS peanut butter cups stuffed with other decisions flavors, such as Marshmallow or Caramel). We enjoyed the product and service so much that we are working with them to create the treat bags for our daughter's upcoming birthday party. Since we live in Chicago, they arranged for their team members to deliver to us direct for a super reasonable delivery fee! We have enjoyed everything about this establishment so far and cannot wait for Candycopia's doors to officially open! read more

Thanks to TikTok, I have been on the swedish candy crave. I saw they had the Bubs and drove about an hour from the suburbs to check it out. The customer service was great & the store had candy from all over - a great variety and reasonably priced. Will be back! read more

Stopped by here on a Monday night and service was great. Tate and her colleague were helpful and kind! Definitely check it out if you're in the downtown Oak Park area. read more

I tried their stuff and they are world class. This is the best candy store in the Windy City!

Candy is fresh, lots of choices, great packaged items and a big plus to Oak Park. Fair warning - if you're looking to swing in and grab some candy/gummies quickly, that's probably not going to happen. Been here a few times and each time a decent wait. read more

Great taste, quality, service and price! Their Hazelnut Haze ice cream is soooo delicious! read more

I visited Candycopia while on a weekend trip from out of town. The store was great! There were so many interesting locally sourced items, old school candy favorites, flavored popcorn, and an entire section of sour selections (my son's fav). You can find anything sweet you are looking for here! I love the fact that this is a family owned and run store. The owners daughters were in the store working while I was there - they were so helpful and knowledgeable about all of the treats available, I was so impressed with both of them. The bulk candy station is a fun way to try new candy types! We'll be back next time we visit Chicago! #candycopia #sweettreats read more

We were so happy to find this place by chance. There are so many options, the workers were INCREDIBLY friendly, and the ice cream was delicious. I would recommend this place to everyone! read more

What a great experience! So many great and fresh options for everything from dark chocolates to gummy candies you have never seen. My family had a blast. Wendy was the most exceptional employee! She was so well-informed, patient and joyous in participating in our candy buffet brunch;) can't wait to get back there. Ask for Wendy and try the chocolate-covered sponge.. not sure what it is, but it is wonderful!!!! read more

Wow! I love this store. I received these candies as a gift and will be coming back over and over again. Completely delicious - but even better is that the shop is family owned and supports diverse-owned, eco-friendly, and small batch carriers. What a win. I highly recommend this candy store for anyone! read more

Can't wait to visit again! A great selection of chocolates and bulk candy. Love all the holiday decorations that make visits new and fun each time. read more

Candycopia is an absolute treasure of a store! My daughter loves all the fun novelty candies (gummy hot dogs and hamburgers and Harry Potter chocolate frogs are her favorites) while I love the unique variety of dark chocolates. There are also great gift ideas, we've purchased everything from a glass jar full of candies decorated for teacher appreciation week, to a tackle box full of gummies for my nephew to take to college. Their selection of treats is so thoughtfully curated, there is truly something for everyone! read more

We recently had my daughter's 9th birthday party at Candycopia. Her reaction: "Best. Birthday. Party. Ever." I can't recommend Candycopia highly enough - overall and especially for birthday parties! Everyone had a blast during the blind taste test, scavenger hunt, and pin the cherry on the ice cream game. And of course, unlimited fill-ups from the long, colorful row of unending candy jars were a huge hit! The Candycopia team are incredibly welcoming, kind, and thoughtful, and they effortlessly kept the kids entertained. They were also extremely sensitive regarding food allergies and ensured everyone could join in safely. The place is vibrant, colorful, and fun - full of both recognizable and unique candy experiences, and the perfect environment for a celebration! read more

Thank you to Candycopia for making Mother's Day extra special (and tasty!) this year! I had an amazing first experience with Candycopia and will definitely be back for more. I ordered 2 Tower of Treats for both my mother and my wife for Mother's Day and it was a huge hit with both Moms in my life. The ordering experience online was simple and convenient, and the candy was delectable, unique and fun. The Mason Family may be the only thing sweeter than the candy - they are one of a kind and have created a special gem with their family owned business Candycopia. I'm excited to come celebrate (and indulge...) at opening day with them at the physical store soon. Thank you again Candycopia! read more

i understand why the homemade candy is expensive, but why are u making a box of sour patch kids 3 dollars. i could walk down the street to 711 and get a bag 3 times the size for the same price. read more

For being a candy store with candy you wouldn't typically find, all their items are super cheap and their staff is always super nice!

Although the candy selection is great and the shop itself is vibrant and welcoming. The two star rating is based solely on the staff. The staff looks sloppy. Employees in stretch pants that look like they have just came to work from the gym, short cut off shorts, tee shirts, not a pulled together professional look. I fully understand it's a candy store and fun is the goal. It's also a million degrees out. If you're going to allow your employees to wear shorts they should be decent looking Bermudas or knee length cargo. Tee shirts should be store issued and have the shop logo on them. The overall staff look was frumpy and messy. Leaving the customer with a sense of unclean. If this very unique shop is going to succeed it needs to pull its staff together for a more uniform, professional look. read more

Love it! I received a "Mother's Day" tower of sweet treats from Candycopia and from my family. Every single piece was unique and special and I even shared. Spoiled with these delicious and beautiful goodies. Can't wait to see the retail space opening soon! read more

I LOVE Candycopia for SO many reasons. For starters, it is a great place to go with my kids as a special treat. They have rows of candy jars filled with different gummies and chocolates. My kids go in and can make a little bag with their own mixture of treats for just a couple of dollars. The end of a bike ride, a reward for doing something great, just feeling like doing something special that day...all perfect reasons to visit Candycopia. It's also been my new "Go to" spot for birthday or thank you gifts. I love getting a gift card, or even better, bringing the birthday kid in with me and letting them pick out their own "tackle box" full of different treats. It's essentially a plastic box with 18 different squares that the kid can fill with the gummies and chocolates of their choosing. SO. MUCH. FUN! And let's not forget the adults. There is chocolate, fudge, handmade caramels, ice cream....so many options!! The owners are so kind and helpful in picking out the perfect treat. We have already been to Candycopia an embarrassing amount of times since they opened and will continue to keep going because we love it so much! :) read more
