Coco Le Vu Candy Shop & Party Room

The ultimate candy shop — and probably a kid’s dream come true to have a party in their party room. A nice gem in the neighborhood.

I had my baby shower here this past weekend on September 12^th. I had the best time!!! When i walked into the party room i wanted to cry. The two owners helped set up and made my shower look more beautiful then i could imagine. I had a candy table filled with candy that went perfectly with my theme colors. The lounge area is very spacious and relaxing. While you sit in the lounge area you still feel like your apart of the party! The owner are very nice and professional. They know how to make you feel welcomed and you will be truly satisfied. The bathroom was very spacious and clean coming from a pregnant woman that was a huge plus. The area is friendly and easy to get to in terms of transportation. Also my driving guest did not have a hard time finding parking. I will be coming back to the shop once my baby gets bigger so she can have her parties here. I will be a recurring customer to coco le vu for the years to come.

We rented out the whole space for my 12 year old daughter’s party. It was fabulous! They were so accommodating and truly a pleasure to work with. Everything turned out perfectly. I highly recommend Coco le Vu for your next party and definitely also stop by for a treat — it’s a great space and their candy selection is excellent!

This is where Willy Wonka would shop for candy if he lived in El Barrio.
Bright and colorful candy shop that really throws one into nostalgia-​land with a pretty extensive assortment of candy items. Some are a real blast from the past.
Also offers a mix of today’s candies and sweets. Chocolates, gummy bears, sodas, ice creams, hard candies, gumballs, etc. The retro candies are what I like the best. Candy Cigarettes, Abba Zabba, Double Bubble, Tootsie Rolls, Peanut Clusters, and the even offer retro candy baskets.
The place itself has a nice décor and design to it, and also features a party room to rent. The day we were here it looked like they were setting up for a child’s birthday party. We bought a bunch of treats to take home and satisfy our sweet tooths.
Very cool spot with a hip style that is much needed in this part of town.

I run my own Marketing company and use Coco Le Vu for off site events with my high profile clients because they are incredible! Christine and her team are professional, organized, and decorate a space with such flair, class and panache that they’ve become my exclusive company for events!

I was simply blown away the first time I came to visit the store. The theme in the shop reminded me of Wilily Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. All I was missing was my golden ticket :) The staff was extremely friendly and very helpful. And the never ending selection of treats took me back to my childhood. And to top it off they have a huge space in the back for private parties. To refer to Co Co Le Vu as a Candy Store, is a understatement. In my opinion this is the Disney World of sweet shops.

I truly adore this place. I recently had a bridal shower here for my best friend and it was great. The staff is amazing and very helpful. They will work with you and are always available to answer any questions. I highly recommend this place.

The shop itself is very cute. It’s brightly colored and full of delicious looking treats. However, as a gummy bear connoisseur, I wasn’t impressed the the selection. They tasted, well they didn’t have any flavor at all. They were a step down for Haribos that you can buy at the drug store.

I love this place it is the true essence of an old fashion candy store with an assortment of goodies. A great addition to East Harlem atmosphere it is a hip spot that is very welcoming. There is a party and game room in the back; they also offer cooking classes for $ 35.

Great customer service, very friendly, clean store, beautifully organized. Candies great never stale. Best customer for a lil shop

Felt like a kid again, grabbing all that candy. This is a cute place to get a bunch of your childhood faves for a fairly decent price. I would go back, but I don’t want to get a cavity.

Move over Dylan’s Candy Shop – Coco Le Vu is where it’s at if you want to visit a candy shop that is colorful, playful, and full of fun, nostalgic, tasty candy and treats at a reasonable price! I had been searching for a venue to host a baby shower and when I discovered Coco Le Vu, I was beyond excited. And when I finally visited the store in person, the excitement was merited.
With a party room that can comfortably hold 40 guests, Coco Le Vu was the ideal place to hold a unique event. Christine (one of the co-​owners and an event planner) was super helpful every step of the way (from where to place decorations, what candy to order from the store, etc.). Any question I had, she or Nalanie (a co-​owner) were always ready with a helpful answer or advice to assist me.
During the event, both Nalanie and Christine were readily available to help. Someone was checking in on the garbage and making sure the bags were being changed and at the end, both women were helping me and my guests pack up and clean. The event was a success and all the guests couldn’t stop raving about how cute and wonderful Coco Le Vu was. So if you are looking for a place to host ANY type of event – birthday, baby shower, corporate event – look no further than Coco Le Vu! A great small business with reasonable prices – support this East Harlem gem!

This candy shop is hip, spunky and cute. Christine (one of the owners) is a sweet woman.
To be honest, I’m not even a chocolate lover (I know, pretty weird), but the chocolate covered strawberries and the dark chocolate almond bark… DEE-​LISH-​US. My mom went bananas when she visited the store because they have a bunch of old school candies from back in her day.
When I have a sweet tooth, this is where you will find me.

I just had a baby shower for my best friend yesterday at this candy shop, and I couldn’t wait to leave a review about my experience! I live in New Jersey, but needed to find a venue in NYC that could fit around 35 people comfortably. I searched Unilocal and other review sites and found Coco Le Vu. I drove into the city to visit the shop before I booked the space, and I was quite impressed. The front of the store is a well designed, clean, colorful, and festive candy shop. You walk through the candy shop to get to the party room. The party room is a very clean, well maintained room with a lounge area and bathroom facilities. I went ahead and booked the space. The ladies working at the shop were so helpful with me. I asked many questions of them during the planning process. Christine always responded to me in a timely fashion up to the day of the event. The day of the event finally came and I was even more impressed! The shop provided me with chair covers for the chairs and I was able to rent table cloths from them as well. The room was setup and ready to go when I arrived. The room looked wonderful. We had quite a few guests, food, and beverages, so we created quite a bit of trash. I noticed that a gentleman would enter the room every now and again (very discreetly), and clear the trash as the party was going on. I never had to worry about that. He also would check on the bathroom so I never had to worry about that either. Every question I needed to ask of the ladies, they answered with a smile.
Our party ended at 4, and the shop gives you 30 minutes to clean up and clear the room. There was another party after ours. We were very close to going over that time, but they NEVER made me feel rushed or kicked out. They even helped my group to move items from the back of the room to the front of the store, which they did not have to do. The shower ended up being very cute and we all had a wonderful time. I would recommend this shop to anyone looking for a space to have a baby shower, bridal shower, or birthday party.
My only tip is be prepared to look for parking. If you are unloading a lot of decorations or food, give yourself some extra time to arrive at the location to find parking. The shop is able to provide you with the 2 closest parking garages as well. I loved Coco Le Vu!

Stopped in today with a few co-​workers. Nice inviting atmosphere. They have candies that I haven’t seen since I was 6 years old. In addition to all of the old schools favorites, they also sell chocolate covered nuts, pretzels, graham crackers, etc. the best thing about this candy store is that you can use the back of the store for private parties either for children or adults.

Candy Store is great But Events needs work… Halloween Event without goodies bags!!! Hello!!! It’s ridiculous

Nostalgic heaven. I was feeling good after leaving Ricardo’s for happy hour and stumbled into this brightly colored Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory mini. I wanted everything but settled on Peanut Chews (freaking expensive) and lipstick candies. I love lipstick candies which is basically chewy cherry taffy in the shape of a skinny tube of lipstick. Nothing like that chalky crap being passed off as such. They were about $.10 but the Peanut Chews, the Peanut Chews were $.25 for one. On a normal basis a pack containing 6 is $ 1 so… not sure where the disconnect is and why they are overcharging people for Peanut Chews. I’m like the only person that eats them lol. They are missing buttered popcorn Jelly Belly’s! You are not a candy shoppe without them!

Amazing addition to the locally owned business here in East Harlem. Coming in here, at the instance of my five year old, is always a treat to the senses as the displays entice you to fill your candy bags beyond bursting.
They have all the classics as well as the newest sinfully delicious treats. I can’t wait for each and every visit to satisfy my sweet tooth!

So as you can see by my check-​ins, I’ve visited CLV with my children a couple different times. I really want to write a review but alas I cannot because my vocabulary isn’t extensive enough to descibe the sheer awesomeness that is Coco Le Vu.

When you play the game of «‘memba when?» and you recall all the great places you could visit right in your neighborhood that made you feel happy; for most of us there is a candy store in that story from our childhood. ‘Memba going up and down each aisle meticulously picking out just the right combination of sour straws and licorice by the yard. And of course you hate it when your little brother has the audacity to pick something entirely different so that he can have some of yours later. Sheesh the nerve! Well that is what this store did for me.
This lovely little shop has dozens upon dozens of all that is chocolate covered, sour fruity and gummy chewy to satisfy the sweet tooth. At $ 4.25/ ½ lb the price can not be beat. My fav so far are the dark chocolate covered peanuts.
