Kandy Kays of California

I’ve been here a few times to get candy for candy table layouts. The inventory changes a lot, so they may not have exactly what you’re looking for, but they have a lot of options. I always go in with an open mind, no specifics, and leave happy. The owner is friendly and knows his candy. He even offers samples of the stuff.

Horrible place! He’s never consistent with his hours! I drove all the way from Anaheim and was closed!!! He was supposed to be open from 9−5pm! I am a event planner and he just lost my business! Never coming here again! I suggest you don’t either! If I could give negative stars I would.

will not be back! as soon as you walk in this store has a unpleasant smell and I should have walked out then… prices were not cheap and everything looked old.

We always buy our Halloween candy and every time we have a party for the piñata! We will keep being loyal customers and referring people to you! Staff is always friendly! We live on a street that gets alot of action on Halloween. You will always get more bang for your buck here! Especially if your on a budget.

All types of candy is here in bulk. Yes it is at wholesale and you can go to a wholesale store like Costco or Sam’s Club and pay the same price but you’re very limited. Here, you can look and find vintage candy, mixtures, candy by the pound, etc. I made out great here! The people are helpful because they want you to get what you came for and will point out prices and deals. Parking directly in front of the door and it is clean inside. Some candy is stale (like marshmallow peeps because I touched them like I do whenever I buy those) but not much candy can go old so don’t worry. Expensive candy is still going to be expensive there but at least you will get it much cheaper than you would in front of any store register.
If you’re planning to claim this in your tax expenses, their register isn’t dated so you won’t get an accurate receipt. I know because I obviously needed one. Ask if you must before you purchase.
They also have clearance candy!

Don’t waste your time coming here. The candy is not discounted at all! I can get cheaper candy at the $.99 store and probably fresher too! The warehouse part is a joke it’s a tiny little section of the warehouse that you were allowed to shop in. I walked in and walked right back out… the only person that was there working with the security guard

Came by to see if I could get ideas and see pricing for candy I need for a candy bar. If you want to be followed around the store & scolded like a little kid, come here. Whenever I picked up something to read the price I was told «I need to be gentler» and «be careful». Most of the stuff here looked old anyway. I’ll be ordering my candy online better, no attitudes & cheaper prices!

I don’t think it’s any cheaper here as a warehouse wholesaler. The candy sometimes looks like it’s been left out for a bit of time. Who knows. I wasn’t sold.

TERRIBLE! I bought a few bags of mixed candy and there was «recycled» candy in the bags! Some of it was old Halloween candy that you can tell had been handed out before, there were 2 bags of M&Ms that had gotten wet before and the candy was rotten, and here’s the kicker… The was a cookie that had «to teacher joanne» written on it!!! I’ll never go again and I’d advise everyone to stay away.

Prices were very low. But I bought lots of candy for my daughters bday party. Filled candy bags and piñata. Decided to try a candy the night before and it was STALE! I tried others and they were too. Chocolate was starting to turn white. 3 of the 5 bags I bought were stale. I was so upset but it was too late to do anything. I wanted to give them a chance bcuz they’ve been in Downey for so long but I think I’ll just stick to the downtown candy shops.

Overpriced candy. Most bags are $ 15 when I normally pay $ 8-​$ 11 at a store in Downtown Los Angeles. They do have a nice selection, however staff isn’t too friendly and the warehouse is very unorganized. Convenient if you are in a hurry to buy candy locally.

Prices are great, cheaper than any other candy warehouse. You really have to check the shelf life of this candy. I purchased a huge bag of light blue M&Ms for $ 25. It was a steal, but when we opened the bag the chocolate was stale. I was disappointed that edible candy is sold at this place. So if it doesn’t have an expiration date, eat at your own risk.

What a great place to shop for a candy buffet. They have so many solid colors and options in bulk at more than half the price of what you find in the regular stores. My tip is to go early in the morning (I think they are open 9 – 5) because if they sell out the colors you need for your candy buffet you have to go back another day. luckily we were able to get what we needed with the help of the owner who was extremely friendly and helpful. They also had great candy for Easter & Valentine candy. I’m sure their Halloween and Christmas supply will be good during that time of year too. Be sure to bring CASH… no cards or checks accepted. We will definitely be back.

I thought this place would seem like I died and gone to candy heaven, but ummm no. I was very disappointed by there small selection of candy. I guess I was expecting rolls and rolls of candy but it was just a small section. The prices were a bargain. At least I can say I went. I’d rather go to the Candy Wherehouse.

I visited this location thinking I’d find some Blow Pops. Well, no such luck but it was kool just to see what all the hoopla was about regarding this place. There’s boxes upon boxes of various candy. They distribute candy but only put out some types of candy. There’s enough to choose from but for me, in terms of the «name brand selection» I wasn’t impressed. I guess a different selection of candy is put out depending on when you go. I went 2 days before Halloween so, I donno… I was thinking I was going to enter a warehouse w/​rows & rows of candy. Kinda like when you go to a supermarket candy isle but w/​discount prices. Don’t get me wrong, the prices are good, I just wasn’t impressed w/​the selection.
DON’T FORGET, BRING CASH !!! Only cash is accepted.

Here are some awesome tips guaranteed to save you a few bucks: 1) Do not buy your pinatas from Party City. Buy them from Pinatas Villafan in Santa Ana or the toy district in Downtown LA. 2) Unless you enjoy, paying at least $ 10 per stick, buy pregnancy tests from the 99 CENT ONLY store. YES, the 99 CENT ONLY store. They are way cheaper and just as accurate. 3) Go to Kandy Kays «candy warehouse» to buy bulk candy for Halloween, pinatas, birthday parties, weddings, and other candy hoarding needs. This is a great place to go if you are planning on having a candy bar/​buffet for an event. A variety of gummy candies (peach rings, swedish fish, worms, cola bottles to name a few), special colored M&Ms, Hello Kitty themed candy can be found in bulk. They also have retro candy like pop rocks and PEZ. Their selection changes on a regular basis. There is no big sign that can be seen from the street. They are located in complex of white industrial-​looking buildings. CASH ONLY. So, there you have it — my 3 FREE tips towards becoming a millionaire… or at least less poor. Don’t say I never did anything for you.

CANDY CANDY CANDY!!! I’ve shopped here a few times, usually for birthdays or so, and I’m always satisfied. Customer service is wonderful and they have all my favorite candy. This isn’t Nordstroms, it’s a warehouse full of candy, and it is AWESOME. I took my godson here and he went bananas, the lady even gave him a few pieces of candy which was very nice. I will definitely continue shopping here for my candy in bulk.

I was looking for one thing and one thing only: a big fat lollipop that would cost me no more than $ 1 each, and indeed I found it. 3 oz. lollipop for $ 1 and 6 oz. for $ 2. I was on a budget. Three 3 oz. lollipops please!
I didn’t have much time to look around, but what I did see was packages of single colored gummi bears for those who has a color theme of some sort to abide by for weddings, bridal showers, or any party for that matter. They also have gummi rings in a range of colors and I’m guessing, flavors. The guy who helped me out, pointed that the lollipops I bought also comes unbranded. Comes in handy when you want to personalize it. It costs the same as the branded lollipop.
Location Tip: If you’re looking for this place by address, turn when you see the 9700s building, because you won’t see 9868. It’d be the first driveway on the left if you’re coming from the southeast direction. I wish someone told me before I drove by it twice. The candy store is in the back, though I didn’t see «Kandy Kays» anywhere on the building.

I didn’t know what to expect when I walked into Kandy Kays of California. The place is located in an industrial complex of sorts. My sister-​in-​law had recommended it because I was looking for a large amount of gum balls for a photography session. I had looked many other places, Wal-​mart, a few Dollar stores and could not find what I needed anywhere. I was amazed and totally pleased with their selection. They have mixed or solid color gum balls (and a large amount of the many other candies) and the man at the register even ran to the back and found the blue that I was looking for. Thanks for everything I will definitely be coming back!

This is the most awesome place EVER. It’s basically a candy warehouse that sells all sorts of candy at bargain prices! Amounts can be as small as a chocolate candy bar, to a small bag M&Ms to a 5 lbs bag of gummie bears, all out awesome bargain prices! AND it’s open to the public!
A lot of people come here to get candy for fundraising sales, fill their pinatas, special events like weddings, bridal shower, birthday parties, goodie bags, or just to get their favorite candies all in one place for outlet prices. My sister has a pink themed wedding, so it was so fun running around looking for both loose candy and wrapped candy with a pink theme.
This is good quality candy, brand names, some fancy brands, some super market brands. Jelly bellies and M&Ms by the COLOR. No more paying ridiculous prices at the tourist trap candy stores!
The owner is the nicest man ever. He lets you browse around forever and never bothers you or haggles you. He even gives you free samples as you shop. Very friendly, and a very old-​fashion, customer-​first, attitude. I love this place so much!
Be warned – cash only, but he lets you leave your items to run to the ATM/​bank down the street if you forget. Inventory changes every day, so there’s always new things to try and see!
