BonBon - A Swedish Candy Co.

As a kid, I didn’t have a sweet tooth. My friends drooled over Pop Tarts and Sugar Daddies, and cadged money to spend at the candy store. But I could care less about things sweet, and even less about candy; too sugary, sticky and cloying. As an adult, I now sometimes crave something sweet, but candy still leaves me cold — the flavors creepily artificial, the colors so Technicolor bold, and still so sugar-dense and cloying. But BonBon has changed all that. Its store is hip, even seductive; the staff couldn’t be warmer or kinder; and the candies sublime. This is candy for adults, not that yucky kids’ stuff. Intriguing flavors, subtle textures and aromas, creative shapes and sizes. Enter BonBon and you enter a world not of Willy Wonka, but of more adult delights. If you already like candy, this is heaven. And if you don’t, BonBon will convert you, as it did me.

What a treat this place was! It was my first time being brought here and I wish I could have gone back a second time. Great diversity of sweets and a wonderful first time to new flavors for me.

The BEST sour candies I’ve ever had. The red and green wrenches are amazing if you love sour candy. Their sour peach lips, cola pacifiers, and (actual) Swedish fish are also really addicting. Staff are always really kind and I always stop by to grab a little bag when I get the chance!

This candy shop is a cute place! The interior was beautifully designed, and sooo picture worthy! I loved going inside and seeing all the Swedish imported sweets and goodies, honestly they're fantastic! They don't taste like the American kinds full of added sugar and other chemical additives. You do get all the great flavor regardless! One may say $18lb for a pound of Swedish bulk sweets are a lot, but honestly the quality and taste were amazing. The service was great too and the man who was helping me really knew his stuff and was friendly. I can't wait to come back here when im feeling in the mood for Swedish sweets!

Review is based on 2 separate components: the Sunday Swedish hotdogs and the actual candy shop.

(1) the Swedish hotdog on Sunday’s are bomb. It’s delicious and different and worth trying once. It’s quite pricey for it being a small hot dog ($6) but it’s really good. The guy serving is great with his service and super approachable. 5 stars!

(2) the actual candy store is okay. They have good COVID protocol and make sure the shop doesn’t get bombarded with people at once by keeping a line; however, the candy is dry and hard on ones that haven’t been sold for a whole. The candy has aired so the marshmallows are hard and slightly stale. The 2 glad working are indifferent in their job and although they answer questions and are attentive - they don’t seem to enjoy their job. About $20 for a lb of candy.

Missing sockerbit as they were great.
