B Sweet

Walking in the store I felt like a little kid in some sort of candy land. Looking around I saw many candies I had never seen before. However the prices were absolutely absurd. They had my favourite honey sticks which have costed me no more than 30 cents anywhere I’ve ever seen them. Here they were 65 cents a pop. I could only buy a few due to their prices.
As I continued to peruse the store, I realized absolutely EVERYTHING is usually double or even more expensive than other places. Sadly this is the only real candy store I could find.
The one place they haven’t screwed you over is their service. The woman who rang in my honey sticks was very polite and made pleasant small talk whilst ringing in it. Pleasant ending to my extreme frustration with prices.

Wow, the candy in here is expensive! I went in when I noticed the Hello Kitty candies including jelly beans, and cute holders. The HK items I saw were anywhere from $ 6 to $ 25. I get the rent is high in WEM, but I wouldn’t buy a chocolate bar here when you can walk down the hall to the Dollar store and get it for less than $ 1. They also sell 12 can cases of hard to find pop like Cherry Coke. They are priced at $ 25.99 and makes the $ 14.99 price I saw in Calgary a steal! The staff person behind the counter did acknowledge me and asked if I needed help. Save your pennies when you want candy and get it at the neighbourhood convenience store, you will get more for your money!

I essentially reached an epic level of grumpiness today and so happened to be near the mall so I figured what better way to cheer up than with candy right? WRONG!
When you first step in I admit it is kind of a neat feeling to see all the candy containers and other candy themed knick knacks that they sell but after that initial feeling wears off there isn’t much to get excited about when it comes to this place. First off even with two people working I received no greetings or offers of assistance which was surprising as there were alot of little ones in the store and you would think you would want at least one person on the floor making sure people are looked after and candies are not being sampled by over eager little hands.
I tried to keep my purchase on the small side as I couldn’t find any signage near the candy indicating what the price per pound was and I didn’t want to get a shock at the till. After making my selections I brought my bag to the till and it rang up for $ 3.25 which doesn’t sound all that bad when you compare it to other goodies in the mall but my problem was the fact that everything in my bag was stuff you could find at the convenience store for five cents a piece. If I went by convenience store prices what I had in my bag was worth $ 1.35 which isn’t even half of what I paid here.
Finally the biggest slap in the face was how everything tasted. When you pay more I think you should expect a higher level of quality but what I got wouldn’t even be considered acceptable let alone high quality. My lime bottles were so stale it took about two full minutes of chewing to get it broken down enough to the point I was comfortable swallowing and the fuzzy peaches seemed to be a day or two away from creating a similar issue.
I had read the reviews prior to coming in here and really wanted to be a white knight finding the stores good qualities and hopefully writing at least a three star review but my fellow Unilocalers were correct in their prior evaluations. The price, service, and quality of goods here are DREADFUL and you would be much better off spending your money somewhere else!

This place makes me lament the closing of Coney Island candy shop on Whyte ave. This is barely a candy shop, but I guess void of other options in the mall (excluding the chocolate shops) this place is king. There is no value the selection leaves much to be desired and it just feels lazy.

This is the worst candy store that I have ever been in. Their prices are significantly higher than their competitors Coney Island Candy Store on Whyte Avenue. The staff are exceptionally rude and offer little help to their customers when asked. When I asked the staff to reweigh the candy I was planning to purchase, because the weight seemed significantly higher than I expected, I was told take it or leave. I ended up buying it because I had put this candy into a bag but 24.00 $ for a small bag of Jelly Beans and Coke Bottles is ridiculous.

So today March ²⁰⁄₁₀ I go and get my g daughter some sugar free ju jubes. I take them to the counter to pay for them and the snotty young girl says that is the price for the regular candy. I tell her that she has to sell whatever the product is marked for according to advertising standards. She is very rude and I guess maybe Ill boycott this store or at least tell the world about my sad experience as a g parent! F for customer service.

B Sweet is heaven for anyone with a sweet tooth. It is a little kiosk inside of West Edmonton mall that is surrounded my tiny walls of candy so you feel like you are in an actual store when you go in.
They have tons of candy. Grab a bag and start loading up. I actually just look at it from afar these days because otherwise I get sucked right in and get too much candy. Way more than I can handle.
This is another one of those places that if you have kids try not to let them see it or they will go crazy.
