BonBon - A Swedish Candy Co.

I absolutely love Bon Bon Store! Their candies are incredibly delicious, with the perfect softness and amazing quality. The pink packaging is so cute and makes the experience even more special. Plus, the prices are very reasonable. Definitely my go-to for sweet treats!

My first time at BonBon was fantastic!! The shop itself was so fun and the staff were super welcoming and helpful. There were so many options to choose from so an employee helped me customize a bag of candies based off the flavors I like. I didn’t get their name but they had fun glasses, braids and a hat on, 10/10 personality. Will be back!

They definitely level up the candy shop experience. Gorgeous brand design, great services, and a must-go place for 🖤licorice lovers. 🖤🍫🍬licorice chocolate was soooo good!

I recently had the pleasure of visiting Bon Bon, and it was a delightful experience! The store offers an incredible selection of treats, including the nostalgic gummy bears and cola gummies that brought back fond childhood memories. I would also like to commend the amazing team working behind the counter; they were friendly and attentive. If I may suggest, it could be beneficial to remind customers not to use their hands to take candy from the jars during busy times, to maintain hygiene and ensure a pleasant experience for everyone. Overall, I absolutely love this store and am already looking forward to my next visit!

Charming Swedish candy store with the best selection of all my favorite candies. Was so fun to scoop my candy into Bon Bon’s cute paper bags, just like when I was a kid growing up in Sweden (thankfully the bags are sealable and NOT plastic - have never seen the use of plastic bags for so called “lösgodis” in Sweden). Staff is very knowledgeable and must be eating the goods… the girl who helped me when I last shopped there this Sunday was super SWEET. What a wonderful treat to shop here! 💙💛💙

Great Swedish candy I grew up with, but they never have the classic; Bubs, Skulls or other favorites like they used to have. TikTok and IG ruined it so sadly they’re always out of stock making their mixes lackluster.

Such a cute candy store! I wanted to check out Bon Bon after seeing it all over social media. The shop was clean and well organized. It's pretty expensive at almost $5/lb but the experience was fun and I liked trying new candies. Overall, I loved most of the sour candies I tried and was surprised by the gumdrop-shaped gummies with jelly inside. They're also open late if you have a midnight sweet tooth!

This review is for Benedicta. Thank you for your kindness, history lesson, and endless delights! It really made my BonBon experience that much sweeter. I’m not going to tell you my favorite, you gotta taste for yourself.

My Best friend was raving how good their candy is and suggests I go with her one day . We went and the candy was good , I enjoyed the marshmallows covered in chocolate and the baseball shaped gum. The place was friendly and clean and staff were nice . Price is a little pricey as you pay per pound but to me it's worth it . Place was clean and there is a place to put the serving spoons once you finish getting your candy . They also gave us a free soda which tasted great . Can't wait to visit again i!

I've been a longtime fan of BonBon, but somehow never checked out their Williamsburg location, despite them being a block away from La Bicyclette on Driggs. The shop is bright and colorful, with high ceilings and a little bar area too. The candy selection is fairly good though they've been out of Bubs for a while, and their licorice section is on the smaller side. I picked up some new favorites on my most recent visit, including the sour grapefruit bottles!

So great! So many choices of different kinds of candy that you can't find anywhere else in NY. The package is pretty too.

Came to see what the hype was about, honestly as a person who loves candy this place was alright. I would say the Sour S patch is my favorite along with the raspberry shots, they both have a nice kick of sourness. The sweet hearts had a marshmallow bottom. I was afraid the Banana Bubs would be like a laffy taffy banana flavor but it is definitely more subtle and only half of it is banana flavored. The Swedish fish are definitely less sweet than the grocery store ones and not that sour. Could skip the sour skulls and sour colas. Some of the candies are kind of hard and tough to chew. But overall it was good and fun experience to try the candies.

If you can deal with the hordes of children from the local Montessori school and the TikTokers making content, Bonbon is a delightful place to visit and offers an incredible array of candy. I love all the gummy sours and the selection here is pretty broad; if you don't care as much about aesthetics, Economy Candy on the LES is the true OG classic spot for candy by the pound.

This location is a lot less frequented compared to the other locations I've been to! The candy here is worth the hype, absolutely delicious with fun marshmallow gummy textures and flavors, and silly shapes like a race car and teeth! Some of the bubs have come back but not the round ones yet! The interior is absolutely elegant and I love that it feels like a higher end, fancy adult candy store but still super whimsical! Bonus point for free postcards but def paying a lot more for how hard swedish candy is to come by!

I've only ever ordered delivery, but their sour mix is the bomb! Their bag has a good variety, nice and chewy, and the first sour gummy candy to actually make my mouth pucker a bit. Pricey for candy, but worth it as a nice treat! Their delivery also comes in a cute pink bag with a little post card; adds a fun whimsical touch!

While in Brooklyn, I dragged my boyfriend in here with me as I needed to try Swedish candy after seeing it go viral on Tik Tok. We both did the pick and mix as we wanted to try many different things. They had an assortment of many different candies; sweet, sour, chocolate, etc! This is the best candy I've ever tasted. It is such high quality and just so delicious. We both enjoyed the bubs the most! We will definitely be back and make the trip from Long Island!

First of all, I'm a big black licorice fan. Saw there was a Bon Bon in Brooklyn during a recent stay, and couldn't pass up a visit. The black licorice section is separate from the other gummy candies, featuring sweet, salty, chalk and all sorts. They also had different flavored Swedish fish, including sour Elderflower. Honorable mention for the green apple bottles. Worth dropping in if you're craving candy and looking for a cool variety. And open until midnight ! I'm sure I'll be ordering from the on line in the future.

After seeing bonbon all over tiktok ofc I had to stop by.... First time I went to the store located at 66 Degraw st, Brooklyn and I didn't even have to make a line to get my candy. We step in and out in about 10 min. In this location, they did had all the good ones I wanted to try. One thing I'd like to mention is that, I was expecting to spend about 60$ in candy but that didn't happen, I can say I picked pretty much all the viral ones and I ended paying around 20$ Now, about the candy somebody told me once sweedish candy it is not for everyone and I do agree but their Bubs ones are INSANE. I won't lie I was dreaming about the cotton candy one. They are so chewy and tasty, I was enjoying every bit like if I was chewing foam with flavor LOL. After non stop thinking about the Bubs (no joking) I had to come back; this time I visited the store at 130 Allen st NY where I did have to wait for around 1 hour to get my candy. This time tho I went for what I knew I liked: BUBS and nothing else LOL. I loved that this store had bunch of much other bubs flavors, sour ones and original ones. Finally, people at both stores were incredible nice, they gave me a really nice smile and made me feel like I had all day to pick my candy. Also both stores I've visited are decorated really pretty and with lots of details. Love both of them. PS: don't forget you can ask to taste one of their special flavors they have in mason jars at the cash registers

Great place for a late night candy run. Small but fruitful options and servers are very helpful as well!

Just left Bon Bon, and I absolutely love this place but the young lady behind the counter today was not friendly nor helpful. She barely wanted to answer and questions and acted as if I was bothering her, and when she answered the questions I asked, she spoke to me as if I was stupid. I usually get great service here where the ladies usually happily great you and ask if you if have any questions, but not this time.

I've been here about 3 times now. I come back for the candy which I get about once every few months and on that front it does not disappoint. However I have to say the customer service is really dismal. The first time I went - there were 3 ladies working the counter. It was in the summer and I wasn't acknowledged when I walked in. I didn't even know how the system worked so I just watched someone else grab the tongs and grabbed a bag like they did. I went up to the counter they gave me a total I paid and left. There was no other talking at all. It was not very warm. Fast forward to the last 2 times I've been there and now I know how the system works. However it's the same vibe in there. Just kind of cold and indifferent. The opposite of what you would expect from a candy store. Maybe I'll try one of the other branches to see if it's different. I saw a lady post a review in November about the customer service she received and I thought it was exactly the same as I received every time I've gone in.

Sweden has the best candy in the world, hands down. I lived there for a summer and became seriously addicted to real Swedish fish (not that garbage they sell in the States), sour gummies, Marabou chocolate, and Japp chocolate bars. Needless to say, when I found BonBon, I nearly cried tears of joy and walked out with about $40 in candy. The first store I found was in Manhattan. Then when I discovered this Brooklyn location on a random outing one day, I knew its proximity to my apartment was going to be sweet, delicious trouble. As one might guess, I've been to this shop many times. The staff are always super nice and helpful, and the shop is adorable. It's the closest I've felt to being in that awesome chocolate shop in the original Willy Wonka movie. Candy. Everywhere. Since I went to the Manhattan location first and encountered a Swedish staff member, I assumed that would be my experience at all BonBons. However, as easy as it was to talk to a Swedish staff member about Swedish culture and candy, I've discovered the BK location usually doesn't have a Swede on site (I've only encountered one lady who effortlessly knew what I was talking about). This makes asking for specific items a little more involved if the crew isn't familiar with the language or the products. That being said, it's a niche issue and not an actual problem. The regular staff, as I said, are always so helpful and try to make recommendations based on what your tastes are (at least for the pick-and-mix candies/lösgodis). If you love sour candy, prepare yourself for the best you've ever had. Swedes are not afraid of sour, and they do it so well. Try the foamy skulls, the peach lips, EVERYTHING. You won't be disappointed.

I have a major sweet tooth and first stumbled upon this place back in May and have been seeking it out ever since. It was my first time in a Swedish candy store but I like just about all candy especially gummy candy so it was a good fit for me. It's a self-serve setup with packaged items as well. You grab a bag, a clean scoop, and have at it! There are so many gummy candies to choose from as well as licorice and chocolates too. The staff here is super friendly - often giving samples of various candy. Last time I was here they had samples of a warmed mulled drink called God Jul Glögg which is similar to mulled wine without the alcohol and would be great for the holidays. Bonbon also has a Manhattan location in the Lower East Side. One can only hope that Queens will be next!

Not only is the cutest and best stocked candy shop around. but it's got soo many gluten free things to choose from and is a licorice lovers dream. We checked out this location tonight and the woman working there just blew us away with her kindness and clearly cares deeply about the customer experience. She gave amazing selections and honest heads up about some we were curious about and we really appreciate that as well. Their packaging is STUNNING and it's the best spot for something special and unique, whether for a date, gift or a little something for yourself. This is the kind of place and experience that makes NYC so special and great. We have definitely walked out more than once with about $40-$50 of candy in those gorgeous pink bags more than once but never once regretted it- it truly is the best candy and experience in the world! There is something for everyone and the aesthetics match their customer service and candy deliciousness.. It's basically everyone's inner child's dream and by far my bf's favorite place in NYC! We have tried licorice, gummies, sour and more recently, their GIANT chocolate bars and all are amazing! Their chocolate esp the mint will make you main with happiness and delight! I can't usually have licorice because of added gluten but I can here:)!! Everyone there was great but the beautiful dark haired woman was among the best I've ever seen!

Hands down the freshest most delicious Swedish candy in the world! Clean safe store friendly store staff with an amazing assortment of candies and gummies that have the most delicious flavors sweet and sour flavors and tasty marshmallows and licorice Highly recommend everyone with a sweet tooth to check out bon bon candy it's simply the best! Also check out Manhattan locations

This is a cute place with candies that are either very excitingly foreign or nostalgically familiar, if you're Swedish. The staff are always charming, charismatic people. The store's clean ind interesting looking. The candy is amazing and its easy to spend 20-40 bucks. The banana flavored Bubs, and the chocolate covered gummy bears are the best candies they got. Theres also a solid selection of very severe licorices. I highly recommend this place.

I had received these candies in the mail before so wanted to check out the real deal. Our late-night sashay into Bonbon was greeted in a way that I did not expect: Try as many candies as you like. Long story short, the policy works: I came for some Swedish Fish and ended up with a much larger bag well worth the price. After sampling many, my favorites were the sour strawberries and caramel-filled chocolates. Will definitely be back to try more of the chocolates.

Fabulous new spot! I was a fool for not taking photos - hopefully the owners do soon. It's a Swedish candy store owned by Swedes, and the girl working was from Malmo, Sweden, currently a student in the USA. She was so helpful and gave me recommendations and let me sample some candies as well. They have all sorts of gummies, licorice, and chocolate, including chocolate covered gummies (my favorites). They have a lot of traditional Swedish confections and are definitely higher end, but I didn't find their prices to above market even though the candy is high quality. I loved the samples I tried and am excited to really dive into the assortment I walked away with.

The most incredible staff! And so happy to have them in Brooklyn! My absolute FAV candy store!
