Sugar Coast Candy is a cute, little old-fashioned candy shop in the heart of Hilo's historic downtown. It offers a wide variety of sweets, from classic favorites to unique treats from around the world, with a great selection for every sweet tooth. The tiny shop provides a welcoming Willy Wonka vibe, like stepping into a time warp or back to simpler times, and is meticulously cared for and clean. The employees are helpful, knowledgeable, kind, and proud to be American. With prices comparable to major chains, it is a wonderful locally owned business to support for gifts or a personal treat.
Great candy store. Small, but impressive. Instantly reminded me of being in Hogsmeade in Harry Potter. Fun nostalgia candy, jelly belly’s, salt water taffy, chocolates, it’s all here. The toffee squares were amazing.

Most candy shops have a nice selection of both modern and nostalgic candies, but this place is on another level! The incredible variety of local candies they carry is what truly makes it special. Highly recommend checking it out
