The Candy Bar

My lion bars were stale :((
Not cool as they were part of the gift bags I was making. Guess you need to check each items expiry date individually even from the shelves. (They do have a few bins with discount expired items on display)
The other stuff was good, the english selection has lots of different crisps which I highly recommend, I was happy to find ‘skips’ which are the best crisp ever made (if you like prawn cocktail) and also the cheese and onion are delicious.
Worth going to if you have time to check when each packages expires– beware of that.

thanks Paola for responding to rectify my stale lion bars, I won’t trouble you for replacement because the fact that you offered it is why we should all shop locally and at independent stores. Because you care.
I appreciate your time and customer service.
_​_​_​i will be back to enjoy this candy shop again most definitely.

The most dangerous bar in the city… If you don’t want to be tempted by the best candy selection in the city. There is always something new to try and the beautifully packaged treats are great hostess gifts!

I came into this store looking for candy for my wedding centerpieces. Paola turned out to have a LOT of experience in weddings. She wrote down my information and wedding details even though I only bought a couple pieces of candy that day. When I followed up later asking for a big batch of flower gumballs (assembled by hand in the store) expecting to pick them up the next week, she said I could just come the next day! I am thoroughly impressed with how friendly and professional Paola is and will definitely return for other events.

Amazing place and owner! No sad, stale candies here.
My first visit and I was hooked. I mentioned that I had never tried bon-​bons and didn’t think they would taste good. The owner insisted I try one and now I am a huge fan. I really, really like that she knows her her stuff and the store is so nice looking. I have since introduced two friends to her shop and they were so happy to find delicious candies from their own countries. If you are a candy nut this is a must visit in Toronto!

Cute little place on College. Wandered in on a sunny day over the long weekend. I’d already eaten my weight in sugar so was able to stop myself from buying anything, but I can’t guarantee I’d have the same self control if even the slightest bit peckish.
The shop itself is bright welcoming despite its small size. There isn’t a huge volume of stock, but it’s a nice mix of fancy bars of chocolate that you might not have seen before, UK chocolate and biscuits and bulk candy. A freezer had some very tempting ice creams and ice cream sandwiches. Loved that they also had some samples out! I got to nibble a very tasty morsel of a Dutch dark chocolate. Would definitely consider buying it.
Service was super friendly! Beaming smiles but without being pushy. If I walk there, I’m allowed to eat the chocolate, right?

This place is amazing! Such a unique idea and with amazing attention to details. I’ve been going there since it opened, and every time I’m warmly greeted. The woman who owns the store loves her product and remembers you every time you come in. She’s so knowledgeable about the products! She also puts samples out, and lets you try certain candies you are unsure about.
There’s everything from speciality chocolates, old favourites (fuzzy peaches, skittles etc), to foreign candy. The back wall is lined with bulk bins where you can pick and choose between these. Plus everything is so fresh! Unlike Bulk Barn, where you run the risk of getting stale candy!
The best part? She takes suggestions! My boyfriend’s family is English and would send him these chocolates called «Penguins». He mentioned this to her, and how much he loved them. A couple of weeks later we head back over and she had them in. I’ve never had such great customer service before.
Check this unique place out and try the toffee bonbons!

Fantastic! The owner is so friendly and accommodating. It is a small space but i still found the choices of chocolate impressive and a fun choice of other candies as well.

Perfectly curated candy shop. Great selection of packaged candy/​chocolate, bulk treats, and stuff imported from the UK too.
One of the best selections of chocolate bars on the west end of the city.
Owner is so enthusiastic about candy, it’s hard not to enjoy your experience.

As other reviewers have mentioned, the owner is so sweet and is therefore extremely well-​suited to own a candy shop. There are daily samples available and the owner also mentioned she would be happy to let you try something if you asked. Lots of lovely chocolates and candies on offer (e.g. Soma, ChocoSol, Vosges, Giddy Yoyo, Stubbe, bulk gummies, etc.), ranging in price from cheap to quite expensive. A little something for everyone, and a nice place to pick up something new. After a painful decision making process, I finally settled on a divine ChocoSol coconut bar that is vegan and local. Looking forward to returning and trying out some new treats!

Amazing and unique place, has loads of chocolates and candy you won’t find in regular candy stores. The owner provides delightfully friendly service. I will definitely be back.

Small place and slightly less than I was expecting in terms of selection, but the owner’s, charm more than makes up for it.
They have some very cool chocolates and then the usual assortment of gooey candy stuff in bins, that I don’t really care about, I just want to see all the chocolate bars that other countries have that we don’t, I’d be there once a week.
Anyways, cool little spot, will be back if I am in the area.

Very welcoming and nicely designed store. Great world and locally sourced chocolate, as well as inexpensive and yummy penny candy, Dutch liquorice and UK products as well. Cool, friendly and glamourous owner her name is Paola.

Just visited this place yesterday while I was on my way to the laundromat in my neighbourhood, and learned that it had just opened a week ago. Well, it’s pretty much like Tutti Frutti… candies, gummies, by weight, delicious chocolates, jellybeans, the whole shabang. I spoke to the owner, Paula, who said she has lived in the neighbourhood for 20 years, and always wanted to be her own boss, so she finally opened a candy store! What a neat idea! They import chocolates from Britain, and other countries. I bought Maltesers FROM THE UK, and they taste NOTHING like the maltesers we have here in North America. Far more delicious, rich, and pure. I also got the original Cadbury dark chocolate bar (British). And some raspberry chocolate, which was divine. If you live in the neighbourhood, I highly recommend paying the Candy bar a visit!
