A cute candy shop in Newton with so many options from bulk candy to chocolates to festive baskets…read more The prices for the bulk candy range from $14-25 and you can mix and match and they'll round out the pricing. I got about a pound of candy for around $14 to try a good mix of everything from chewy and sour gummies to chocolate. They have swedish candy that has the chewy marshmallow textures to tiny gummy bears with different flavors. While I was paying, the lady told me they've been open for 35 years, so they are definitely doing well. A great place to stop by if to indulge on some sweets and treats.

The store is advertised as a Pop Mart, but there were only a couple of items that seemed like…read moresomething Pop Mart would actually carry. Most of the store was candy and novelty items. The bigger issue was the atmosphere. It didn't have the cute, fun candy store vibe I was expecting. The exposed concrete floors and dim lighting made the space feel a bit off putting and unfinished. I think the store would benefit from more decorations and a brighter, more whimsical design to make it feel more inviting. Not necessarily a bad store, but it wasn't what I expected based on the name and branding.

I ordered a mini chocolate/maple swirl with chocolate sprinkles and it was DELIGHTFUL! Very smooth, rich, and creamy soft serve. The maple flavor was a nice twist.

TLDR: Great selection of candy and sweets, but the swedish candy comes prepackaged. Expect it to be…read moreon the pricier side. They also have soft serve, which is both delicious and more reasonably priced. Super beautiful space, and super nice employees! -- I frequently visit this candy shop at least once a week as it's the only way to get my steps in this winter (I live in southie, so I make the commute by foot) AND because my sweet tooth practically compels me to spend an exorbitant amount of money on swedish candy. So, I feel like I have formed a strong opinion about Madeleine's. First, it's colorful, it's beautiful, and it's incredibly welcoming with the way they have been decorating for Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas. Feels like I'm in Stars Hallows. They always have a new candy of the week to try for free at the counter, which is also a fun way of distracting me as I tap my card again and again for a (10 dollar) baggie of bubs. Yes, ten dollars for a baggie of PRE-packaged swedish candy. That's where this place loses its star. Week to week the mix of candy can change, and often times I'm left with candy that I don't really want. But is it worth it as a midweek pick me up? Yes, sometimes. BUT they also added a soft serve window that rotates flavors by the seasons (maple is my favorite), and you have the option to add a generous amount of bubs for only $2. The ice cream is much more reasonably priced. That makes a visit here worth it. This place is a must-stop in the south end area if you have a sweet tooth but expect it to be on the pricier side.

A cute little chocolate shop in Newton Centre! I came here on the weekend afternoon to try out some…read moreof their chocolates. There was one guy working who was super helpful in answering our questions. After looking at the selection of chocolates we decided on getting mini truffles. They can come in as a box of 1, 2, 4, 8, or 12. There were a few flavors we picked that were sold out, but ended up getting sea salt caramel, strawberry, strawberry cheesecake, sweet dreams, Dubai, peanut butter, red velvet, and white chocolate. The sea salt caramel is a fan favorite and definitely one of the favorites I tried as well. The mini truffles are priced at $2.50/piece so a box of 8 will set you back at $20. I wasn't a big of the white chocolate or Dubai, but these are definitely great chocolates to treat yourself or to give as a gift. I'd definitely recommend trying them out and hope to come back to try out all the other flavors.

They have a variety of pastries as well ; it's reflected in the photo below . This is strictly a bakery you pick stuff up they have no seating . The ambience is friendly and warm .

I really liked the chocolate covered oranges in particular! I ended up buying chocolate covered ginger and a tea-coffee flavor set of five. The ginger isn't too sharp when you bite into it since it's been candied, and the earl grey chocolate bonbon (which I wanted to try since I saw it online) was sold out individually but still sold in the five flavor sampler. The jasmine tea white chocolate rose was also delicious and the tea flavor was surprisingly rich. It's not cheap but it's well worth a nice gift for yourself or someone else!

The only candy shop in the area, and they're pretty typical…read more You can choose between the packaged candy they've got available on the shelves, or you can bag your own candy to mix and match. When bagging your own candy, you pay $7.98 for a half pound and $15.96 for a pound of candy. They're also offering a special candy box that you can fill up that costs a fixed $16.99. I got that candy box, filled it up, and was able to fit 1.4 lbs of candy in it, so it was a better deal than getting the bag. Note that the box must be able to be closed; you can't leave it overflowing. The shop has just opened so it's new and clean. It doesn't has high traffic so far.

I have always wanted to try See's Candies and now I finally have…read more This location is a kiosk at the mall at Chestnut Hill. I saw it and I immediately went over to see what they had. There were all types of chocolate candies both milk and dark chocolate. Some of the candies were in already wrapped boxes and they also had some smaller candies they were selling individually. Some of it was holiday themed with holiday wrappers. The displays were set up very nicely. And the two women working while I was there were awesome. I noticed they also had some candy bars for a couple of dollars which is kind of a good way for a person to get to try the candy without committing to buy a whole box of it. I ended up getting my mum a box of chocolates plus a box of peanut brittle for her as well. And I got a box of chocolates for myself. I just had my first one a little while ago and it was delicious.

I've been purchasing Fastachi for many years, excellent product. Visited the store today, was…read moredisappointed they no longer carry marzipan (tho still listed on website). Usually I take goods home w me but today wanted to order a gift for out of state delivery. Presume the quality of the gift will be nice as usual but the staff member acted as if she had better things to do. (It was not busy at the shop, only one other customer who was being taken care of), almost asked her if she was okay, came close to walking away without completing the order. Clearly, she dislikes her job and isn't interested in customer service. It's a bad look for Fastachi. We all have bad days but this person had a serious disregard for doing her job. Makes one hesitate to return.

I love Fastachi products. However, I have had consistent problems ordering online. The only way I…read morehave been able to access orders has been to reach a person with a callback by phone. Now they have canceled that option ...no phone calls accepted/returned new policy! I made 5-6 efforts yesterday to place an order and the computer program just will not accept the information and keeps stating that I need "To follow the format,..." which I thought I was doing. I wrote to their website/email and no response. I would just forget Fastachi totally at this point, never attempt to order again, however I had discussed some options with a client who chose to receive treats from them. I don't understand why I cannot simply order online and have it go through. It has never been a possibility for me over perhaps five years trying yo order online. Never had such a problem with other vendors! They even identify on the website the l item I want, which is a variety of chocolate bark as requested by my client. But, when I double click on it, I get all the chocolate treats and I cannot find the bark. I'm very very disappointed and not sure how I will handle this. Such inconvenience and lack of customer support. They apparently have expanded their services to other stores and have what looks like a large corporate clientele. I cannot understand why they no longer accept phone calls when their system to place orders just does not work! I would love help with this particularly for this one situation and then I wouldn't bother them again and not purchase their wonderful treats as gifts. To me this seems like a very poor resolution of a problem that should not exist in 2025 with current communication possibilities via computers. I'm very upset and disappointed. Marcia Tritter

At first, I thought my sandwich was just bland, but when I looked, it was bland because it might as well have been sold as just bread.

There are too many other great choices in the area to deal with that. NOPE! Never again.
