“They had the sweetest staffs and love the vibes! I got a piece of free chocolate upon entering the store, which was totally unexpected! Love the vibes and variety of merch available!”
“Wife wanted Milky Way All Caramels, which were supposed to be available last month, couldn't find them anywhere and found Economy Candy. Ordered a few of them and a few other desirable things we found, company provided great communication and we got all the items within a few days. Great service, fast shipping, and super happy with our purchase of candy and sodas!!”
“This was my 1st time there & was extremely satisfied. I bought 3, 1 pound boxes of mixed chocolates for Christmas gifts. The service was terrific & very helpful. The gift recipients raved about the chocolates. I will definitely be back and highly recommend.”
“Amazing candy store sitting right under your nose in Bushwick! These place has close to everything from vintage candy to the new candy innovations. It’s absolutely worth checking out!”
“Charles is the best, great customer service and great talking to him each time. Wonderful selection and amazing chocolate. Glad this is my neighborhood candy shop.”
“I looked for an excellent piñateria in many places on Passeic and this store was my choice. The owner's service was excellent and the prices on the sweets were very good. I recommend them for your events.”
“My boyfriend ordered these online after a coworker brought some in, and he loved them so much that he ordered me a box to ask me to be his Valentine. We enjoyed most of the assortment, but the chocolate marzipan was awful. It genuinely tasted like soap and perfume. Aside from that, the chocolate was great.”
“Absolutely love this store it’s huge has multiple floors. Has a customization area for create your own m&ms. Staff was amazing, very friendly. I can’t wait to come back I bought a mini dispenser for m&ms I love it!!!!”
“The gentleman behind the counter was very nice, knowledgeable and quick explaining pricing. Offered a free sample as we walked through the door to all of us. Was able to tell me what the best sellers are but I chose, Raspberry-Blackberry and Salted caramel bark. Both were amazing. Got 3 truffles as well but would definitely go back to try more bark if I had to choose.”
“Andy is back he was gone from 1/29 to 4/13 all his signs on the fence are still not there!!! I tried to ask him what happened but it's hard with traffic!! He seemed not to be to happy with whatever happed to him in the 2 1/2 months that he was not there!!!”

“Heard about LST from my sister and it definitely lives up to the hype. I’m stocking up to bring some home to my partner in California and everything from the taste to the set up is well done. Allison helped me today and she was kind, sweet, and helpful with all my questions. My favorite strawberry marshmallow is a fan favorite so they were out today but Allison informed me I could order on the website as well. Thank you!”
“Biggie's is great! The owners are super lovely and run it themselves. Their dog, Biggie, is super cute. Often there's people playing chess outside- it's pretty rad.
Inside is a vintage lovers paradise, or more specifically, a vintage smokers dream. They specialize in refurbishing old lighters, ash trays, and smoking sets. Trust me, they're awesome. If you're not a smoker, they have old magazines, game sets, and old-style soda. If you'd like to become a smoker but are scared, they have candy cigarettes. Sick!
Anyway, I like to pop by whenever I'm in the neighborhood. You should pop in, too.”

“Such a great variety of candy! My husband enjoyed sour peach rings and the classic gummy bears, while I got a taste of my childhood via candy cola gummies! And of course we had to get some dark chocolate covered nuts and pretzels!”
“If you’re anywhere near Bleecker Street, you have to stop by Porto Rico Importing Co. This place feels like stepping into a piece of New York history. The moment you walk in, the aroma of freshly roasted coffee hits you, it’s incredible.
They have an amazing selection of beans from all over the world, and the staff really knows their stuff. I asked for something smooth but flavorful, and they guided me to the perfect choice. You can tell they genuinely care about quality.
What I love most is the old-school charm and nothing fancy, just authentic, high-quality coffee at great prices. It’s the kind of place that coffee lovers truly appreciate.
Highly recommend if you want fresh beans and a true NYC experience. I’ll definitely be coming back!”

“It was a fantastic experience! The food and drinks the lovely people who work there. I will definitely be going back as often as possible. Cannot race enough about this place!”
“The store is located in the Homecrest/Sheepshead Bay section of Brooklyn since 1946. They sell various chocolates including sugar free options. Customers can purchase previously boxes chocolates or request assistance and create their own personal assortment. The store is large has three separate sections. The middle section is for candy. The other two sections sell a variety of party merchandise. Chocolate tastes great and all the selections are consistent in quality. Friendly and helpful staff.”
“The owner is so sweet and has plenty of stock. She also is very knowledgeable about the products. She also stocks odd candy you can't get elsewhere. Went there looking for molds for daughter's sorority acceptance and she had them. Her store is very clean.”
“This place has three levels of candy. Literally every candy you can possibly want is here located at IT’S SUGAR. There is so much to choose from and great variety. I think I was more excited than the kids.”
“Great local deli/convenience store. Has pretty much all you need (toiletries, food, random household stuff) plus the guys are friendly and welcoming!
Only thing I’d change is a better snack selection, but I mostly come here for food so it’s no big deal.”
“The mini cakes (Viennese box) were incredibly delicious and made a show stopper presentation as a star of our garden party! (Many asked where from...) we also enjoyed the box of dairy fancy chocolates...each one was so tasty and magnificent. Highly recommended! Great customer service.”
“10/10 staff is as sweet as the chocolate! There’s so many choices for the Lindt lindor chocolate balls (probably not the right name haha) and so many gift boxes!!! I believe we were helped by Zina who was extra sweet!”
“Ray is an East Village celebrity. Originally from Iran, Ray jumped overboard a Navy ship to swim away to a new life in the United States. He started the shop in the 70s and has been around ever since. Even when Ray recently sustained an assault, he went right back to work. This institution offers various soft serve, fries, fried Oreos, hotdogs, chili dogs, egg creams, onion rings. Any number of fried foods one might eat after a drunken soirée. Someone commented on his Instagram page, “no one has seen me drunker than this man.” Most things are 7-10 dollars, though there are a few things that are more expensive, like 16 dollars or so. Pretty sure Ray is cash only. Ray still works the spot. He’s about to turn 91. If you want to see him, get on with it. New York changes all the time. One day you might show up, and Ray will be gone. Don’t miss your chance to experience this icon.”
“I had my daughter's Bridal Shower at Matisse Chocolatier in Englewood this past weekend and it was a huge success! The owner Lucille, and manager Nija, couldn't have been any nicer, more hospitable, or more helpful throughout the party. It's a GREAT venue for a bridal shower. The bride as well as all the guests absolutely loved the idea of being there for a bridal shower, as it was so different from a typical shower venue. Everyone had so much fun making chocolate, interacting with one another, and of course the chocolate was delicious! I would DEFINITELY recommend Matisse Chocolatiers for your next party, and/or social event.”

“Got the 6 variety chocolate covered pretzel gift box. Would’ve been awesome but the blueberry and raspberry flavors permeated the entire box. All you taste is blueberry or raspberry when eating all the flavors. Ruined the box, need to keep them separate somehow. Fresh but not enjoyable.”

“Absolutely love this Royce Chocolate location. The chocolate is incredibly smooth, rich, and perfectly balanced—not overly sweet, just pure quality. Every piece feels thoughtfully made and truly indulgent.
The staff at the Bryant Park shop were friendly, patient, and happy to explain the different options, which made the experience even better. It’s the perfect stop for a gift or a little treat for yourself while walking through the area.
If you’re a chocolate lover, this place is a must. Consistently excellent and always a pleasure to visit.”

“If you’re looking for a nutty adventure, Oh! Nuts is the place to go. They’ve got a delightful variety of nuts, dried fruit, and snacks that are just splendid. Everything’s fresh and tasty, making my taste buds happy. Plus, their customer service is top-notch. Shipping is quick. It’s a real treat for everyone.
Vegetarian options: Vegan options.
Kid-friendliness: Raw food ingredients.”
“Quite possibly the best Milkshake I’ve ever had! Dylan’s Cookie Butter Milkshake is Amazing! One thousand times better than the milky Van Leeuwen shake. Try one you’ll love it. They also have a plethora of candy too!”
“If you’re in NYC and love exceptional chocolate, Versano’s Chocolates is an absolute gem. The owner always goes above and beyond to help me with special orders, and everything is completed right on time. The quality is outstanding, especially the white chocolate, which I gift to my husband every year. He says it’s the best white chocolate he’s ever had!
Five stars for both quality and service. I highly recommend Versano’s Chocolates to anyone looking for something truly special.”
