Candylicious

Candy galore! Great place, lots of candy, amazing customer service! We spent a while trying to decide what to get! I learned what the expression «like kids in a candy store» means.

Breaking news: Heaven is actually in a Montrose area strip center, calling itself «Candylicious!» I screamed with delight upon stepping inside. It felt like a stroll through my 90’s era childhood but better because I was able to buy whatever and as much as my sweet tooth desired. Perfect to buy little gifts for kids and adults. You gotta see this place for yourself!

This place is so fun. It’s almost like a scavenger hunt to see all the different candies you can find. Definitely worth exploring! :-)

Really cute place located next door to the chocolate bar. Went in looking for lollipops and they had plenty. They have so many types of candy: gum, rock candy, lollipops, gummy bears and candy, saltwater taffy, and every candy you can imagine. Also loved the nice selection of European candy! They had mars, lion, kinder, flake, aero, etc. Definitely recommend for a fun outing!
Parking can be somewhat hard to find if the front spots are taken, so just be cautious when you go.

Find another place to get your sweet tooth fix… the lady working while I was in there was rude and not friendly toward kids… working in a candy store should be exciting but I couldn’t tell might as well should have been shopping in a funeral home… from my experience those employees are a lot friendlier… I will stick to the grocery stores for my fix for now on!

Love this location, small but lots of great treats. Wish there was more selection but you can get some hard yo find candies here.

I was never really one for candy when I was a kid. Hard candy? Eh. Maybe the Whistle Pops and Nerds.
This shop is a good one stop shop for American Candy. Sours, Gummies, M&Ms, Zotz, Pixie Stix, Chic-​o-​sticks, a few old fashioned penny candies. Sadly no Japanese candy, so if you’re looking for the fizzy Cola or Seltzer or Milk Candies, you are S.O.L. You’ll have to chance it over on Blalock or way, way over in New Chinatown (Bellaire Boulevard and the Beltway).
I stopped in just to look, but then was overcome with Jelly Bellies. I couldn’t decide, and after a short conversation with the candy (young)man behind the counter, decided to throw caution to the wind and get the Grapefruit Sours. He was so honest with his answers, that I was forced against my will. I also got a strand of Watermelon Zotz in the sheer spirit of 80s candy in slightly unusual flavors, also a concept from the 80s. On that note, if anyone sees Watermelon Nerds, let me know. It has been over 20 years since I’ve seen anything but effing cherry and grape.
Oh, the Grapefruit Sours? Brilliant. They are like dumping a whole pound of sugar on a grapefruit half. Totally unhealthy and unnecessary, but it tastes good!

I’ve been coming here for several years now and this place is AWESOME! They have old fashion cigarette candies!

Love this! Honestly I didn’t think Houston still had candy stores so I was very happy to see this as I drove home! Immediately did a U-​turn and ran in.
Loved the selection, bought a ton of candy I hadn’t seen since I was a kid! Some of them cost a lot but I guess that’s okay because they’re hard to find anywhere else.
A real complain I have for the place is the sales chick. She was rude and terse. Like, you work in a candy store cheer the f*ck up?

This is WAY BETTER than Dylan’s. (That place is over-​priced). Candylicious has decent prices — GIANT lollypops for $ 5 and a helpful staff. This is a good place for occasion-​candy.
The one thing that really put me off was that, paying with a credit card, I was prompted to add a tip. Since this isn’t a restaurant/​café, I was confused. I know that they sell food, but I don’t tip at the register at Kroger or right next door at the Chocolate Bar when I pay with a credit card. They should nix this practice. Next time, I’m only paying cash.

I’m only giving this place 4 stars because I think the idea of having an actual candy store to close to my home is awesome.
Anyways, Candylicious is a great little candy shop. Not big and fancy like Dylan’s Candy Bar in the Galleria, but cozy and nostalgic. You open the door and it smells like pure sugar. The owner is there sometimes and he’s really nice. There are so many things to choose from– any type of candy you could want, whether domestic or imported, is probably in stock here. Gels, gummies, hard candies, chocolate. everything! The selection is awesome and everything is priced reasonably. They have everything from bulk candy to single servings. I promise you’ll find something you’ll like here if you’ve got a sweet tooth.
The only thing I don’t like about going to Candylicious is the parking. There’s literally maybe 2 – 3 designated spots out of 8 or so in this particular shopping strip. If you plan on coming, come during an off peak time, or find parking on a neighboring street and walk.
Overall, I recommend coming here. It’s lovely little place that has something for everyone.

This must be what Willy Wonka dreams about at night. The place is every kid’s fantasy, too. As someone who loves candy way too much, I love it too. The store offers an over abundant selection of candy — from old fashion taffy to new fangled sour stuff, from run of the mill stuff such as Starbursts to really eclectic stuff such as candied insects — this store has something for everyone. The staff is friendly enough and while some of the candy can be more expensive than average, they have some very affordable stuff, too.
My only complaint is the ridiculously poor parking situation, or this place gets five stars. Count me and my dentist a fan.

Beautiful! I LOVE sweets. If it were healthfully possible to live on sweets, I would. This place is fun and has many types of candy that cannot be found elsewhere. Many are European imported candies :). I love the nostalgia and coolness of the old time gums and candies. The employees are nice and helpful. I always have a great time and leave with lots of awesome sweets. Epic!

I struggled between a 3 and 4 store for this place.
Here’s the good: an incredibly fun place, a friendly staff, and tons of candy you remember from your childhood. The place made me feel happy the moment I walked in the door. It was a place you were happy to be at.
Here’s the bad: extremely limited parking (especially with The Chocolate Bar next door), high prices, and a confusing layout. It was hard to find the items I was looking for in the store.
Bottom line for me is that I’ll drop in for special occasion needs, but I won’t do my regular candy shopping here.

A dentist’s dream! Almost every type of candy you can think of is available.
I don’t care for sweets and mostly went in to just check out the store which by the way is pretty cool. I had no ideal you could special order candy sculptures? One was in the shape of Elvis.
Check it out.

Most of you have probably been to The Chocolate Bar next door, but you need to do yourself a favor and check this place out!
There are so many different candies. Bulk candies, individiually wrapped candies, candy in a bag, candy on a stick, and candy glued to a styrofoam number or letter of your choice.
You can’t help but get a little nostalgic when you walk in here. They have candy that’s popular today, and candy that was popular 50 years ago. Want some candied crickets? Well they have those, too!
If you’re traveling to Houston and are in the area, this is definitely a must see.

Sensory Overload! You could easily spend an hour in this store and not buy anything because you are overwhelmed by the selection. I went in tonight with a specific purpose in mind… Atomic Fireballs! I need them for an event and I’d already looked at Kroger, Walmart, and Target. No one carried them, but Candylicious did! I called and the nice man on the phone checked on their stock and told me they had plenty of them. He also informed me that they would be open until 10pm. That’s some late hours for a candy store!
I went in (after having to park a block away on a side street — some seriously limited parking here!). I looked around but there is just too much! We saw some English candy like Flake, Aero, Toffee crisp, maltesers, yorkie, curly wurly, etc… I also love the candy cakes they make. I also liked the Halloween section!
We were able to get the Atomic fireballs (60 of them for $ 6). I was so happy to be able to get what I needed!
This is definitely my ‘go to’ store for anything candy.

OK, I enjoyed the trip to candylicious, but as somebody else suggested… one trip is probably enough.
Pros: Feeling like a kid in a candy store. Having new things to taste at your fingertips for instant gratification. Close to my apartment.
Cons: Tiny store and hard to maneuver if there is more than one person checking out the chocolate skittles. It was pretty expensive. you’re definitely paying for the quaintness of a brick and mortar store. You could buy everything (even the weird stuff) cheaper online or at cost plus/​world market.

A lot of candy (retro, current, trendy, semi-​toy and what have you) all under one little roof. I saw everything from salt water taffy, Pez dispensers galore, and ultra cool lip balm that was made to tell others to «Go Intercourse Yourself». I SO got one for my sister and my bestest! Prices are a little bit more expensive than if you were to pay at Wal-​mart or what have you but there are so many candies here, it just makes it so much easier to buy your sweet tooth the all the cravings it desires all at once.

It’s cool, but I think one visit is enough. Things are too pricey here to make this your go to candy shop unless they stock something you love that is hard to find.
Situated right next door to The Chocolate Bar, it speaks to a different kind of sweet connoisseur. We came on a weekday late evening around 9PM and there were only a few kids milling about in the store. They have these awesome candy sculptures (which are available for purchase) in the store decorated with all the candy you can imagine. If you needed something custom made, they can probably do that too. The topiary trees were my fave as they were they least garish. We got a bag of those strawberry bon bons that are hard candy wrapped in a strawberry looking wrapper for $ 6.50.
The people behind the counter weren’t very friendly and that really stuck out coming from The Chocolate Bar. The prices are pretty high, but I guess you pay a premium since they have high overhead costs and stock a lot of hard to find candy. Good luck finding parking in the lot. Try the street. I don’t have much bad to say about this store, just question it’s lasting power. It was a nice visit, but I doubt I’d ever come back again unless I was feeling curious again after exiting The Chocolate Bar.
