Was in MTL for business around thanksgiving and popped into this store to get some gifts for family. They have a great selection of both typical candies and obscure ones I’ve only seen while abroad. Their service was great and I was greeted with samples. Will be back when I return to Montréal.

I was glad to find a candy store around the corner from where I currently work — unfortunately, at 2.70 $/100g of candy, it’s so overpriced! It is the same variety you can find at any Sweet Factory shop for less, and I would rather take a walk up Saint-Laurent to find lower prices and a wider selection at Freak Lunchbox. I can only speak about their gummy candy however, since I am not that interested in novelty sweets or retro items.

Tucked between a couple of chain restos in a new development near Cite du Spectacle is this totally unexpected great local biz. This is a candy savant’s candy store with all kinds of rare and hard to find confections: tabasco chocolate, grapefruit gummies, a wall of jelly beans, a whole section devoted to licorice, a big league chew and pez zone that would make any collector giggle with glee. Plus they deliver in under an hour! Helpful staff who are excited and knowledgeable will greet you and give you a tour when you arrive. This joint in general is a great choice for gift giving to the sweet-toothed sweety in your life, or for stocking up on the goodies that get you going.

Full Disclosure — I am friends with the owners. This candy store is conveniently located next to place des arts metro on bleury. It stands out because its neighbours are chains such as Subway(the best one i have eaten at) a Tim Hortons and Thai Express. As you would expect from a candy store, it bright and colourful and reflects ones joy of eating candy. They do have a huge selection of candy and chocolates. Seasonally they have an ice cream sundae station during the warm months. So if you are downtown near the place des spectacle and have a candy craving, you have a place to go now!

The first time my boyfriend and I came here, we were amazed at all the candy they had that we used to eat when we were younger, that were no longer available in drugstores and other places. The second time we came here, I went to find a specific candy I saw online & knew I’d find it here, which I did. I love this place, the prices to the candies are affordable & and you have a huge range! :)

My favorite candy store in the world! From the vibrant colors and endless supply of candies, chocolates, lollies and sweets of all kinds, it is impossible not to feel elated upon entering. The staff is extra friendly and very helpful. Vegans, celiacs and diabetics, fear not! Everything is clearly labeled(sugar-free/gluten-free/gelatin-free). They have tons of selection for all. Note that they also do catering and special events – candy bar wedding, anyone?!

I can’t believe that I haven’t reviewed Carre Confiseries yet. I’ve been there many times and all I did was mention them in Talk? Yikes. Sorry folks, I must be getting old. Carre Confiseries is a bright, hip candy store that has almost everything your heart desires and an owner who really knows her business and who cares about her customers. Please, please forgive the use of the expression, but when I go into Carre Confiseries, I truly feel happy — like a kid in a candy store. Bulk candy, specialty international candies, and much, much more. If you have a sweet tooth, just go. but don’t tell your dentist. Enjoy!
