The Best Candy Stores in Toronto

The best candy stores in Toronto satisfy the inner child. Whether it’s a rare treat you haven’t been able to find since childhood, exotic flavours only available in other countries, or confections you’ve only ever heard of and have been hunting ever since, these sweets shops have it all.

Here are the best candy stores in Toronto.

11 - Squish (The Bay)

With over 100 flavours of gummies, this candy store that’s been inserting itself into Canadian malls is an undeniable heavy hitter. The gummies even come in wacky custom shapes and themes.
9 - Ding Dong Grocery

Move aside, Britain, it’s time for the Asian snacks, available at this store in Pacific Mall. Pick up all your flavours of Pocky, as well as imported drinks and bulk snacks.
8 - Uncle John's Candy Shack

On Mount Pleasant, this place specializes in the British side of all things sweet, gummy, crunchy, chewy and fizzy. Don’t fill up on candy alone, though, as they also stock English groceries like meat pies.
5 - Sweet Addictions Candy

At Dundas and Ossington, this candy store is stocked with two soda fridges, an entire pez section, and wacky flavours of chips. There’s even a wish list at the cash if you don’t see what you're looking for.
4 - Johnvince Foods

The king of bulk stores, this North York shop is a destination for cheap and sugary goodness. This is the land of endless plastic bins filled with candy galore.
6 - Sweet Temptations

This somewhat hidden gem in the Financial District is not to be passed up with its German and U.K. imports as well as childhood favourites like Garbage Can-dy and Pop Rocks.
7 - Sweet Thrills

Noticeable on Roncesvalles for its zany sign, in addition to providing a plethora of candy they also appeal to our inner child by hosting games of Pokemon or Magic the Gathering.
10 - The Nutty Chocolatier (Beaches)

This old fashioned shop in the Beaches specializes in truffles and Belgian chocolate but there's plenty of candy including British imports here as well.
3 - The Candy Bar

This College Street spot is a fan favourite, essential for all those with a sweet tooth in Toronto. The shop is small but exceedingly cheerful, stocking a variety of bon bons along with hard to find British candies and other rarities.
