Tried their version of Dubai chocolate which was very good! Lots of other confections here as well.read more

I thought it was interesting that this place offered something I rarely see. The young man was very welcoming. He said the place has been here since 2005. He said the owners are elderly and not into the latest business trends like Yelp and Google. He put the business into social media including Yelp. He said he has been really cleaning up since he became the manager three months ago. He added that the carpet is going to be replaced and shelves put up on the walls to better organize the merchandise. He was proud of his addition of the pastries and fresh coffee. He made sure I took note of the tea they also serve. The back counter has his register and lotto tickets. He came out to talk to me and when another customer arrived he returned to the rear. It's a very small space that's uncomfortable with more than one customer at a time. I really had a good experience and I can't wait return for coffee and my next lottery ticket. I'm looking forward to seeing the improvements they plan to continue at this small business. The new manager is doing a great job.

I like the concept of getting a chance to sample a few flavors before picking the ones I want. In the end I went with pistachio, it was rich and full of pistachio flavor unlike most places.

With the amount of space they have on UES- wish they had more flavors. They rotate flavors and recently haven't had as many varied options. Feedback: They ruined the tiramisu flavor by adding in lady fingers- assume this was for financial reasons, but honestly makes it terrible. No one wants dry stale lady fingers in their gelato. It was popular as it was. Wish they'd change it back.

My favorite part of my visit is the man behind the counter. He had on his mask and spoke to me as soon as I entered. He was jovial and we talked about the new law regarding marijuana sales. He said he's sure there will be a license and many requirements to meet in order to sell marijuana. This is a cute little place and very busy. I took care of my photos quickly and left so other customers could enter easily. It's the typical narrow set up. There's enough room for one at a time.

It's not really a candy store as it's name implies on the sign up top. It's a clean and organized bodega with the typical selection of grocery items, snacks, refrigerated drinks, NYS lottery, and such. I still like these kinds of small local businesses and continue to support them. I'll occasionally pick up a newspaper to read the sports section with a Cup O' Joe on a bench by the east river. Old school style.

The shop itself is tiny, but they have a great selection of candy. The process is simple, you grab a bag and scoop, walk around choosing the candies you want, and then head to the counter where they weigh your bag, you pay, and return the scoop. The candy was sweet, chewy, and had a great variety ranging from sweet to sour flavors. Most of the selection is gummy-style candy. Overall, it was a cute and fun experience, especially if you enjoy trying different candies and gummies.
