I have a new favorite small business in SF, and it's this perfect little candy shop. The owner, Max, sells an amazing assortment of local, international, and hard to find candy and snacks, all of it fresh and delicious. He knows the flavor profile and backstory of everything he sells, and he's so calm and welcoming. We came in because I was looking for Swedish candy. Of course he had all the BUBS, and he gave me a sample of one so I could try before I bought. I've heard that Swedish candy is hard to find and shipping can take a while, so the freshness of Max's selections really surprised me. It's all beautifully packed in sturdy resealable bags, and the flavors just pop. My husband found a couple of candies here that he hadn't seen since his childhood (U-No bar, Botan rice candy), and he loved the store's Spotify playlist. It's so clear that Max loves what he does and enjoys making people happy. Stop by and make your day a little sweeter!

Why do we go out anymore? To see stuff. New stuff. Stuff to delight the eye. And so it was on a sunny Saturday that the wife said she wanted to check out "this candy story in the Haight." We go in for a visit. Serious ambiance vibe! Featuring obscure to me musician (X-Ray Ted) on the store's own curated playlist. I immediately started thinking 'this place is too cool for me' but hey, it's small, we won't be long. Then I noticed they had the candy of my childhood, things you rarely find, like Big Cherry and Rocky Road. Bespoke bags of candy from around the world and museum-quality Japanese KitKats and Asian Lay's chips. The guy behind the counter, Max, turns out he's also the owner. Great to talk to, knowledgeable and friendly. This is the kind of place San Francisco used to have lots of -- weird, personal, and good quality -- places that are fewer everyday. Max says Candy's is popular with the locals, and it should be with anyone who considers themselves a true San Franciscan, because it captures the nascent spirit of the city while paying respect to the candy traditions of the past. p.s. Max if you see this I can't find the playlist!

What a hidden gem!It's rare to find places like this anymore. The owner, Max, clearly pours his heart into the shop, running it himself and curating an incredible selection of unique candies from around the world. Also had the best gummy bears I've ever eaten!

Yo this place is so cute. It's got sweets from all around the world. Liquorice, Kit Kat, Pez, Swedish candy, etc. The owner Max is so cool he even showed me all the exotic Asian stuff that I cannot usually find in the States. I ended up buying Wasabi Kit Kat and Ginger Candy.

This store is so cute and the owner is so kind. They have all the Japanese candies and cookies that are really hard to find elsewhere in town. They also have a huge selection of Swedish candy at a pretty decent price. Def stop by for a sweet treat if you're on Haight !

This is such an adorable little candy store on Haight street. They have a bunch of different candies and snacks from all over the world. Eva was there when we came in and she helped validate all the bad decisions I was making in this store haha. Love this place!

Super cool little shop with a ton of cool and unique candies! Eva (I think that was your name, sorry!) was super friendly and recommended we try their house-made freeze dried Skittles, which are wild! Excited to share them with my coworkers!

Not many candy stores in SF supply the specific candy I was looking for- but this places does! They have an amazing selection that caters from everyone to kids to adults. It's so nostalgic being in the shop and it's also very well-maintained. The staff member that assisted me was so patient and did a wonderful job. I love the colorful vibes of this place and the store hours are perfect for someone like me who works full-time and can only go in the evenings.
