Squish

Visited there today and was very impressed with the enthusiasm and knowledge of the sales staff. They were very knowledgeable about the products on offer and were more than happy to give samples of whatever took our fancy.
The array of candy on offer is really impressive and good quality. It’s also worth mentioning a lot of their range is suitable for vegetarians, vegans and celiacs. Stand outs for me included the «Bubbly Bears» which were Prosecco flavoured gummy bears; chilli ginger hearts; «Ice Cubes» flavoured with Blue Curaçao and rum (which you could eat as is or freeze and use as an ice cube. The sales person also said if you put them in gin they will absorb the alcohol which I can’t wait to try!)
The store itself is really clean and modern with the displays positioned so it’s easy to find what you are looking for or just browse.
The reason this store doesn’t get the full 5 stars in this review is because, as good as the candy is, the price is quite high. A bag of assorted candies (5 flavours total) cost $ 16 plus tax and a small bag of Blue Curaçao «Ice Cubes» was $ 10 plus tax. Because of this it’s a store I will only visit on special or rare occasions. The candy itself is delicious however.

Squish is an artisanal candy store that was founded in Montréal and recently opened in the Eaton Center. The candy here is quite expensive: most bags of about 140g are $ 6 (you can also get 3 of them for 15 $). However, you can ask to taste any candy before making up your mind — and it is delicious. It really is. Their gummy candy is so flavorful, and their selection mixes revisited classics and some original inventions. I have tried 4 of them so far: ice cubes (a must try, with flavors of lemon, lime and mint), strawberry rhubarb, red roses (with flavors of raspberry, strawberry, cherry and blackcurrant, my favourite so far) and sour strawberry ribbons. The candy descriptions also contain symbols letting you know whether each sort is fat free, dairy free, vegetarian, vegan, etc. The shop itself is very cute, and the employees are nice and helpful. Although the candy is too pricey for frequent visits, I will definitely stop by for a treat from time to time (which is probably healthier anyway)!
