Meet the Business Owner

Dylan L.

Business Owner

Dylan Lauren, CEO & Founder of Dylan’s Candy Bar, was immersed from an early age in the worlds of design, art and fashion — she is the daughter of legendary fashion designer Ralph Lauren and artist/photographer Ricky Lauren, after all! But Dylan also had a love for candy, ever since seeing Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory at her 5^th birthday party.

Dylan eventually cultivated her love of art and candy at Duke University, where she studied art history and spent her junior year abroad in London and Rome — tasting and discovering new candies, and collecting artful wrappers and packaging from her travels. Dylan set up an event planning company after graduating, but found herself always coming back to her love of candy. She was finally able to realize her childhood dream of opening a candy store — and combine it with her passion for art — in 2001, with the opening of the first Dylan’s Candy Bar.

Awesome service, great memories, Alanna is always great at taking care of me and a group that meets Tuesday’s:) No other venue allows me to order a boozy berry, Macallan 12, and Cabernet:)

I love Dylans candy bar! I heavily recommend Alanna or Jocelyn if you visit the bar on the third floor. There’s also an amazing truffle bar on the basement that complements the drink very well! Of course every drink comes with candy or some type of sweet like chocolate covered strawberries. The service is great, and the drinks taste greater!

Fantastic service, especially by Alanna. Me and a group of friends have been coming to this spot weekly and she always takes care of us. Great memories, and awesome atmosphere. The constant loop of Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory is the bud of many jokes lol. This spot make Tuesday the best day of the week:)

If you’re in the mood for a bag of mixed candy, this is your place. They have every gummy candy you could possibly think of. I was surprised by how limited their selection of chocolate was, though. Really only 2 – 3 dark chocolate options for you to fill your bags with, which seems kind of odd at a candy store.
The downstairs level is cool if you want to buy some souvenirs — which also creates the problem. This place is a massive tourist trap. If you go, expect to it to be crowded, mostly with tourists. Can definitely get loud with kids running around. Also dinged another star from Dylan’s because of the prices — definitely isn’t cheap!

Dylan’s is always crowded, so don’t really expect to be able to maneuver around effortlessly. That being said, I’ve always been there when everything is in stock and everyone has been very friendly and helpful. I’m sure there are off days when the place is way too overcrowded and it’s hard to get anything done — I understand that side too.
In terms of the candy, they have everything and more than you even thought was possible. I love their section of older candies that you can’t find around anymore. Every time I’m in NYC (which is infrequent because I’m not a fan of the city), I stop in to Dylan’s for a quick bag of candy.
I’d say check it out at least once — I’m always satisfied with my purchases and experiences!

This place is fun. In an age where candy shops are going the way of bookstores, this place is pretty cool. It’s three floors, including and ice cream area and party room on top, regular candies on the first floor, and a basement with fudge and other goodies. Lots of selections from the candies I used to love in the 90s. I got the cake batter popcorn. Soooo good.
Prices are a little high, but this is prime location. Still worth checking out.

We really enjoyed it! We took the tour and had dinner afterwards. We had turkey burger, chop salad, and buffalo chicken flatbread. Turkey burger was really delicious and moist. Service by all was fabulous. Very attentive and friendly.
Only disappointment was that they charge for refills and glass is small. $ 6.00 for one soda and one refill.

Super friendly and helpful staff, basically as long as your polite will let you sample whatever candy you deem. The line wasn’t long when I checked out and the guy at the cashier was super friendly when I asked about the puppy treats. I went upstairs and bought a small coffee $ 1. But with tax came out to $ 4! I also got a orange cream-sickle vodka drink which was good but it was bit pricy and a bit over the edge, game me a small hangover. Moreover some of their candy is stale. I’d be back in the future to grab a drink, enjoy the ambiance, or make a purchase and sample some more candy.

The worst service I’ve encountered in all of my many, many years living in NYC.
Rude, self-absorbed staff, un-attentive, un-knowledgeable, impolite, couldn’t give a flying crap about their job, obviously hating every minute of it and every customer in the place.
I’m so angry and disappointed right now that I don’t even know where to start with what was wrong. But trust me, everything was. Oh and the Café upstairs was dirty, garbage on the floors, the tables, poorly run, disorganized and some of the worst staff I’ve ever encountered in my life.
Astrid if you’re reading this, you suck. You’re a horrible Maitre-D seater/greeter. You left me and my family standing around, didn’t look me in the eye when I asked you a question, walked past me and just shook your head when I asked if me and my little girl could sit down. Even though there were empty tables in the café you refused to let us sit at them until a totally different room that was reserved for a party had been cleaned. May the sticky candy you pedal glue your feet to the floor, you rude b#!*h.
I’ve never written a letter of complaint before, but Dylan’s will probably be my first.

A candy store with a bar upstairs, there’s really something for everyone — both adults and kids. There are so many different types of candy for people to choose from. Their candy is priced higher than a lot of stores, but in NY standard, it’s not too bad. And sometimes they have promotions such as BOGO or $ 1 off on 2 of the same item. This location is conveniently located, close to Bloomingdales. It’s the perfect location to grab a drink with your girlfriends after shopping at Bloomingdales. And then go to dinner at one of the restaurants close by after drinks.

Dylan’s is supposed to open at 10:00am according to their site and hours posted on front door. On a rainy NYC day, the store is still not open at 10:05am leaving families with kids standing out in the rain.
Recommendation: it is hard to navigate the narrow store filled with candies especially since kids like to go around in circles to admire all the colorful treats. If visiting with kids, Set a goal before walking in or you will be in the store for hours walking in circles with your kids. Not all the candies have price on it so beware that it can cost anywhere from 2.50 and upward. I highly recommend the peppermint tins with name as souvenirs. They are $ 18 for 5. The chocolate bar with name is less appealing since they are just a wrapper, $ 12 for 5.

What a great merger of two wonderful things in life: Candy and Alcohol! The sweet smell nearly overwhelms you as you enter Dylan’s. Overwhelming in a great Willy Wonka kind of way! I had to stop myself from buying so much. After 15 minutes of discovering the lower level and street level havens of candy, we ventured upstairs to the café — which I was told crafted candy-based cocktails!
I tried their version of an Old-Fashioned and actually liked it! I thought at first it would be too sweet, but the balance was there. I didn’t eat the candy orange however.
This is a great place to let the kids look around while enjoying our grown up drinks!

Man, Dylan’s Candy Bar, what can I say? You hear about it when you are thinking of coming to NYC, and if you are a local you venture here once in a while trying your best to navigate hordes of screaming children, UES moms, and dazed tourists. But, at the end of the day, the product here is just really lacking.
We got some super stale honeycomb candy, house-made chocolate covered caramel corn that contained partially hydrogenated oils (which are soon to be illegal), kind of weird tasting off-brand whoppers, and they were out of a candy bar we came for.
I dunno, it’s a lot of off-tasting bulk candy, a few specialty candies from back in the day, and a really lacking lineup of housemade treats. It is definitely impressive when you first walk in, but after navigating the steps a few times and checking out the goods it is hard to say you will ever be back.
Over the years I have lived in NYC I have been here maybe 4 times and IMHO each time it gets worse. I don’t think this place should have a 2 star on Unilocal-so I am going 3-but, seriously, I am being generous here.

This is a review for the service upstairs.
As someone who doesn’t enjoy the taste the alcohol very much, I am somehow still motivated to try different drinks.
Our server was extremely nice and polite. He offered to make my drink more sweet and sour. Unfortunately I still didn’t love it but that was expected. That’s my own problem and nobody elses. It’s the treatment received that matters.
I ordered a drink with sour patches (I don’t remember what it’s called). The presentation was cute. My sister ordered a mock one with lemon. It was very good. I should get that next time instead of trying alcohol.
We also ordered an ice cream which was yummy as well. I am extremely satisfied with everything here and will definitely come back.

I wanted to get souvenirs here for friends and family, so I stopped in while waiting for a table down the street. More than one story of candy galore, but prices are no where to be found.
I stopped to ask one of the workers restocking their Dylan’s brand candy bars what the price on those items where. She told me they were having a sale of four for $ 12 which I thought was decent for where I was. Based on her word, I picked four out and a few Harry Potter candy items that I knew my sister in law would love. When I was getting checked out, I was shocked to find out that I had spent way over $ 50 on 7 items of candy. Turns out that the candy bars were not on sale and no where near the price I was told. I would have never picked those out if I would have known the actual price. I also tasted pieces of two chocolate bars later and they were quite average tasting and lackluster for such a well known place. Most of the Harry Potter candy was even considerably cheaper than the Dylan’s brand.
This place my be famous, but all you’re buying is overpriced candy for the logo.

Super fun concept but just an okay rating in my opinion. I recently visited the city for the holidays and on a friend’s recommendation we headed to Dylan’s one evening. We found a little table in the upstairs bar and decided to try some of the delicious drinks on the menu. I’m sure it is obvious but this is not a bar that you come to get drunk at, this is a novelty bar where you can order fun and yummy looking drinks but leave after the quick sugar high to get a real drink. I didn’t have the pleasure of purchasing any candy downstairs but it did all look quite fun. A+ on atmosphere and novelty, C at best on drinks and food.

The café is horrible. I grew up coming to the candy bar and as a child it’s a great experience so I will leave that out of my review. This is solely about my experience upstairs. There was no line and not a single other person when we got there… not even a hostess at the hostess stand. So we waited for someone to realize that we were standing there waiting, so that was a great way to start.
From outside we could hear that the music was blaring and the lights were blinding and that did not change when we got inside.
When we were finally seated at inside a giant cupcake the cuteness of it wore off in about 5 seconds when we got close enough to see that the gum ball-filled table that had at some point I’m sure looked wonderful, now was filled with powder from the gum balls, most of which were faded and somehow half smashed even though they were safely inside of the table. Probably from banging against each other or something.
We ordered the Parmesan truffle fries (curly) to snack on which were HORRIFIC. They were all cut up half curls and ALL of them were burnt. Sprinkle some packaged, grated Parmesan cheese and forget the truffle oil and voila, you have Dylan’s parmesan truffle fries!
The coffee which was the main purpose of our visit was also pretty bad. It tasted like airplane coffee so I’m glad I paid $ 7 for it. Not.
I also caught a glimpse of the TV flashing the words «personal shopping.» I do NOT know what that’s about, nor do I want to.

This is a solid place to get holiday gifts for kids and even adults. I’d received a Dylan’s stack-a-rounds gift box with six varieties as a holiday gift and not thought much of it at the time, but it is a rather fun gift. And by giving it, if your recipient is looking for something sweet, they now have a stash and will secretly thank you each time they reach for it, teeth be damned.
If you aren’t into sweets, definitely a good gift to give (or re-gift) to any children you know though not sure their parents will thank you. And this is a gift one can eat leisurely without worry about spoilage.
I do think the candy here is on the pricey side. Like no one really thinks of candy as an extravagant gift, but each round container variety regardless of type (which is rather small) is $ 14. And the 6 piece gift box with bow is like $ 10. That was an $ 94 candy gift before tax.
I think the risk here with gifting from here is not picking candy that your recipient actually likes. Hence, I would advise the variety sets so no matter what selection you may opt for that you like, your recipient is going to be on board with at least some, if not most, of your selections. But I do think some candy inevitably goes to waste. Like I have a container of red and black licorice and the black licorice I will not touch. Stick with safe mainstream options (gummy bears, caramel, bubble gum, etc…) when gifting if you do not know your recipient’s preferences.

This review is for the cocktail bar. It’s definitely a unique experience, but could be executed better.
When we got in, they were backed up at the host, turning people away due to being short staffed. I got in because we only wanted to sit at the bar. When I got in, there were about 3 two tops bar tables that were available and the entire bar was empty. I was seated at one of the two tops designated for bar use. Take it as you will, but I think that the restaurant is unnecessarily turning people away.
That aside, the bar service was confusing. The bartender came to us to tell us that we could just sit and order through him as a waiter unless it got busy. The amount of customers didn’t really change within 10 minutes so we weren’t sure if he was coming back, so we ordered at the bar. He then told us that it got busy. Maybe he had a bunch of drink orders come in, but it might be best to just tell bar customers to order at the bar.
Anyways. The cocktails were definitely unique. I had the pop rocks martini, my friend had the sour patch drink… I forgot what it was exactly. They’re pretty impressive, especially the sour patch one, which is served with a bunch of sour patch kids on top. I kept eating the candy from my friend’s drink until he wisely pushed them into his drink, after which, he ate with a spoon.
I do have an issue with the way that the pop rocks martini is served. The pop rocks are at the bottom of the glass, and the martini is then poured in, something that is fun to watch (also a little anticlimactic), but it makes a mess. Some rocks pop out and so does some of the drink. While it’s not a big mess, I can see it potentially popping onto someone’s nice shirt. But it definitely got the glass and table pretty sticky. I ended up holding onto the martini glass stem with a napkin.
Anyways. I still think that this place has kinks to work out, but it’s an alright place for unique drinks.

My group came here since Serendipity was a long wait as usual. Wasn’t expecting much at Dylan’s, I thought it was just your typical candy store with unique items and lots of colors. But I assumed incorrectly.
One of the finest Candy Store establishments ever. 3 floors of goodies!
Atmosphere:
The main floor (2^nd floor) — as you walk in candy galore
The bottom floor (1^st floor) — nostalgic vintage candy along with displays of celebrity favorites.
The top floor (3^rd floor) — ice cream parlor, café, and full bar.
Drinks: tried.
DRUNKEN SOUR PATCH®
Banks Rum, Sorel, Galliano, lime & pineapple
(refreshing. tasty. almost like a lemonade with a hint of pineapple)
NERDY MOJITO
Bacardi Rum, mint, lime & a splash of soda,
garnished with purple Nerds®
CREAMSICLE FLOAT
Absolut Vanilla Vodka, Triple Sec, orange juice, soda & Vanilla ice cream
(creamy light. like a ⁵⁰⁄₅₀ bar but more on the orange tangy side)
THE CHOCOHOLIC
Pinnacle Whipped Chocolate Vodka, Van Gogh Dark Chocolate Vodka,
Crème de Cacao & a touch of cream
(like chocolate milk. that dark chocolate vodka was delicious)
very creative creations when it comes to their cocktails but expensive at $ 12 a drink
Service:
Only one bar tender making drinks. fast to place order but took at least 15mins for drinks to get to the table. had to flag down for water. wasn’t busy during 930pm. although friendly service.
**reservations available for the café
Overall:
Nostalgic place to visit. Awesome décor. Lots and lots of vintage/current candy/chocolate. A café at the top if you’re hungry (small bites) and an awesome bar with TV’s but pricey drinks but worth the try.

This place is as it should be… wonderous, colorful and enchanting. Yes, most of the candy is overpriced but the key is not to buy the gimmicky stuff nor the regular prepacked candy brands you get from the store.
I had frequented the actual store but recently went to the café for the first time with my visiting Mum and my kids.
I recommend the café upstairs. I was impressed by the «kids» cocktails. It is not often places give thought to non alcoholic options. Its usually fountain or bottled sodas and juices. Their mocktails were truly exciting for me being pregnant but also my kids I mean an interactive drink that you can put pop rocks on wins any day in my book. It was so whimsical and tasty, I got a second which had cotton candy on the straw. Such a good price point I think it was $ 6 which was a relief after recently being charged $ 8 for a kids juice at Sarah Beths… that’s another story. My mum had a great glass of wine too. Ps the cocktails looked like they were no joke too.
Their savory dishes were ok and big portions. The desserts were fun. We had a waffle sundae. There aren’t many affordable and comfortable sit down options in that area so it was nice to kick back with really friendly and accommodating staff.
My advice is it is a great place to take kids for a special treat. Spend your money on the experience of sitting down and having fun foods as opposed to spending your money on the candy. It is now on my place of cool places to take kids or adults who want to have fun.

Today I was walking by the Apple Store across from the Plaza. This nice girl and the Dylan’s Rabbit were giving out 10% off cards. I asked when it expired and she said ¹²⁄₃₁. i took one and when I arrived home I noticed the card said 12÷31÷14. In all fairness she did say they will honor it when ever you bring it in.
I have been in to Dylan’s. It is very popular with tourists, and children naturally. I was going in this past weekend when I saw the crowds. It is another store where you need to arrive when they open. They get really busy. It gets very hard to maneuver through the crowds to see everything and to purchase.
I love the seasonal decorations and one of a kind gift ideas. I usually take pictures of the windows. They celebrate special events with window displays. I’ve posted a couple of my pictures.
If you’re here visiting the city and love candy, this is the place to go. it’s very close to shopping of all kinds. Just remember to get there early. Bring your camera to get a picture of the rabbit!
I’ll be going one day when they first open to use my 10% off.
If you read this and are in the neighborhood of the Apple Store they may still be out front giving out the 10% off cards. Look for the big Rabbit! I’ve posted a copy of the card here in case they take a copy! Do a screen shot!

It’s hard to not be impressed when you walk into Dylan’s Candy Bar… three floors of everything candy! This is a great place to take a visitor, candy lover, or child… they won’t be disappointed!
A couple cool features here:
–there’s a bar! And ice cream shop!
–on the bottom level they have a section with celebrities favorite candy on display… fun to check out!
–vintage candy lovers galor. they have a whole section in the bottom level and u can also purchase a capsule for a specific decade (60s, 70s, 80s) which is neat
–great place to get a one of a kind gift for someone
–lots of candy you can scoop from bins into a bag and purchase by weight… they have one that’s organizing by color too which might be helpful for a shower or wedding with colors in mind
–candy themed clothing! Pjs and pants and shirts and headbands and even ski goggles!

This place is really intended for tourists and UES one-percenters who have money to burn. All others, be forewarned. The store is cleverly made up to resemble a smaller version of Willy Wonka’s Chocolate Factory (with no Umpa Lumpas) but devilishly seductive to children. It reminds me of that scene in Disney’s Pinocchio where the puppet and his friends go to Pleasure Island and he almost ends up as a donkey. You will feel the same way once you leave and peer inside what’s left of your wallet.
And if you think you’re actually getting gourmet chocolate for the price, think again. Their bars taste like diluted Hershey bars, very low quality. Worse, most of their packaged candy items don’t have a price, especially the stuff downstairs. They’re banking on your not wanting to bother with the hassle of checking the price with a clerk, so you end buying something horribly overpriced.
So, think of it as a candy museum or exhibit, but buy your candy somewhere else.

We decided to stop here on an impulse since none of us had been to a Dylan’s Candy Bar before. I was very impressed with their selection of candy and thought that the Mean Girls themed candy collection they had on display was hilarious.
We also wandered upstairs to check out the «restaurant» area and vowed to come back after we saw their extensive menu of candy themed alcoholic beverages.
No one ended up buying anything this time around, but I definitely will be back to try one of those cocktails!

I expected Dylan’s to be a tourist trap – and, well, it kind of is – but I was also surprised at how much of a sense of humor the entire place has. An entire line of candy based off Mean Girls references? So fetch. We had a few drinks in the upstairs bar area, and despite the fact that my «sangria» was covered with Sno Caps and tasted more like rum than red wine, it was definitely potent. Yo ho ho, mofos.

Yes, they have a ton of stuff — everything a sugar addict like me craves. So why the two stars? The chocolate covered pretzel rods and chocolate covered marshmallow tasted stale, plus their milk chocolate tasted bland. Perhaps you would do better purchasing products that are packaged — both of the above items were unwrapped and sold by the piece.
I then went back to the main floor to check out the bulk candy and was overcome by a sickening «vanilla musk» smell, which I assumed was another customer who drenched themselves in perfume. It was so bad I asked the cashier if she smelled it too and was told they «pipe in» fragrance I know this is a common practice in hotels, but a candy store?
Not sure why Dylan’s would feel the need to overwhelm customers with an artificial fragrance that did nothing except make me nauseated and head for the door.

I just couldn’t resist coming here when I was passing by it after serendipity. I know there’s a location in Los Angeles, but this is the original one and mostly cause there’s a lot of candy and I wanted some. They have theme candy as well such as star wars, disney princesses, and other things.
I got mostly the candy on sale to bring back and the shot glass. Their shot glass was so cute ^_^ and I just couldn’t resist. Even though I don’t really drink, I wanted it anyways.
They have three floors and you walk into the second floor. The second floor and bottom floor contains different types of candy. The first floor has a candy bar and they serve alcoholic candy drinks that I didn’t get to try =[ since I came in after those hours were closed.
I am going to check the Los Angeles location to see if they have it so I can try that part =]

Two Words: JEN’S CANDY
IT’S MINE! Ha-ha. You can easily spend $ 50 here. The prices are high, but I just love the candy here. There is one in LA, but I know this is the original one! The chocolate candy bars (DCB) are 4 for 12. I got 6.
Get these DCB:
Popping Candy — there are pop rocks in them. How fun!
Peanut butter bar– PB inside whooo hoooo
Hazelnut
Smores
DON’T GET these DCB:
White Chocolate
Cookies n Crème.
I don’t think they can make white chocolate — it tastes disgusting!
The bark is pretty popular. My favorite is the NY Cheesecake. I like that their are personalized gift tins with your name on it. There is no «Jen,» but there is a Jenny or Jennifer. Ha-ha!
I got a pretty bitchin’ magnet that is a chocolate dipped ice cream bar with sprinkles. It is so cute. I bought a doughnut shaped pillow that is so cute!
Dylan’s has three floors. Two floors is filled with candy and goodies. The top floor is a chocolate bar. you can try all sorts of treats like alcoholic candy drinks!
Yes, this place is highly priced, but you cannot put a price on happiness ;)

Stepped into this place with my teens and was immediately flooded with kids/music/colors. At first, it seemed like a happy Willy Wonka adventure, BUT it quickly turned into overwhelming stimulation. Kids running form item to item, begging their parents for items; I needed an escape.
Wait, there’s an upstairs?
Rushing up I saw they had candy/boozy cocktails? What, do my eyes deceive me??? That’s right, I was able to get a Chocolate Martini of deliciousness and change my nightmare into a fantasy. Yes! So glad, someone thought of the parents.

For a child, it’s a candy land… for an adult… it’s a candy land… literally. I only wanted to come because I saw this place on Celebrity Apprentice and was like «Ooh! Candy!»
But I REALLY wanted to come because my Aunt (a NY’er) told me that the Iced Hot Chocolate was on point. So I HAD to go. Haven’t had a good iced chocolate since Oz.
So I venture upstairs after filling my little trinket with some sour candy (FYI: They didn’t have sour skittles… HOW DO YOU NOT HAVE SOUR SKITTLES!!!). Anywho, 3^rd floor was hot as monkey balls. Being pregnant and just coming from outside where it was already hot and going upstairs to a sweat box was not a good look.
Aside from that, I was excited to get my iced hot chocolate to cool off. I couldn’t find it on the menu. I asked the «hostess»? and she asked someone coming out of a door, who had to ask someone standing behind the counter, who had to ask someone else standing behind the counter that the «Dylan’s Chillins» were their Iced Hot Chocolates. Okaaaay… They had different flavors and the lady told me the ‘Cookie Monstah’ is the favorite… I would assume this is faved by kids. It tasted like… syrupy sugar… huuuu… not a good look.
Soooo… it was aight. I’ll go back when my baby grows into a child. From a child’s point of view (of course there were many there) it’s… well again candy land.
If you have kids, go. If you want certain candies (excluding sour skittles), go.

As big as the place is and the crazy amount of people I am sure these employees deal with, the staff is very nice. Super patient with you, they answer you with a smile. They are just lovely. During my last visit I talked to four separate people. From the lady at the fudge station to the check out person.
Huge fan of personalized merch so I am always excited when I can find my kids names on things (come to terms that I will NEVER find anything pre printed with my name a long time ago lol). Sadly my daughters name was sold out throughout the store but she was ok with #1 Sister and I was able to find my sons name.
Fun store, will definitely return with my two mini sweet tooths. They’d love all the yummy treats on the third floor!

This place is always a good stop during a tour of NYC. Beware, it’s SO crowded at all times. We took my little nieces and nephew to experience it for the first time and I definitely felt claustrophobic. Luckily, the employees are really friendly and helpful.
The kids LOVED the stairs and of course all the candies. I love that there’s a bar upstairs and more of the brand name candies downstairs.
Definitely worth a trip!

Quand je suis entrée dans cette boutique, j’ai à nouveau eu 5 ans. Des bonbons et des trucs sucrés PAR-TOUT. Je né savais plus où regarder!
On est descendus en bas et là, que vois-je? Un rayon Harry Potter! Oui oui, avec des chocogrenouilles, des dragées surprises de bertie crochues… Et puis des m&m’s aussi, des reeses, des bonbons Willy Wonka, des bonbons dérivés de nos séries télé/film etc…
La boutique est pleine de couleur, il y a même des bonbons inconnus par chez nous! Le paradis quoi!
D’ailleurs, je sais que la prochaine fois que j’aurais la chance de retourner à NYC, je fais un crochet par cette boutique!

Esta tienda es el paraíso de los golosos. Tiene tres pisos enteros llenos de golosinas, chocolates, piruletas, caramelos y todo lo dulce que se te ocurra. Desde cookies para pintar con colores comestibles, hasta adornos de todo tipo para tartas o piruletas gigantes.
Además venden cajas de caramelos con un precio fijo, que podrás llenar los caramelos o golosinas que prefieras. También hace encargos para fiestas y ocasiones especiales y se puede comprar online.
Con las pocas tiendas de caramelos que hay en Nueva Yor, esta es una auténtica joya.
