A spectacular candy store with tons of choices including hard to find items (I saw candies I havent seen in 40 or more years. And the prices are very reasonable. What a great, nostalgic place.

They have a lot of european candy. Their variety of Haribo gummies is much bigger than at other stores. Haribo Tropifrutti I had never seen anywhere in America for example. Too bad they do not have any Katjes gummies. I really miss those. I spent over $40 here today.

Im a very pleased first-time customer. The product was fresh and arrived sooner than expected. I wont hesitate to refer and highly recommend Economy Candy to my family and friends. Were life long fans of Haribo. I signed up for shipping/tracking information, thanks for offering that feature. Thank you for the professional and customer friendly service.

While I love the new layout of the store, I have problems with the freshness of the candy. I bought a Bonomos Turkish Taffy which turned out to be stale. Most of it was stuck to the paper inside and when I tried to remove it, it turned to powder. I was also turned off by the appearance of some of the prepackaged candies.

Economy Candy has so much variety. When I was there I felt overwhelmed. As of my writing you cannot shop in store but stop at the front table set up and they will get you what you want. They have mystery bags for 10 dollars and it’s fun to see what’s inside. The Australian Licorice tasted great too. I just wish they had a menu of some kind. So much candy so little time!!

Check a video of this place at aboricualifeinusa in youtube and instagram and subscribe.Lots of candy?!! Mystery bags of candy for 10$. And more candy and toys.. Now they are not letting anyone in, instead you order the candy from the outside. Not bad.

Beware guys. Scammer alert. I ordered chocolates from them online. Despite paying extra for cold packaging my chocolates came all melted and messed up. I did email them to send me a replacement or give me a refund, to which they replied they cannot guarantee anything despite paying extra for the cold packaging.

I love the candy my granddaughter had a ball, but I was disappointed because I was so excited to see toys I grew up with and was now able to buy for my granddaughter so she could have the same experience,but when I got home 2 of the toys didnt work even after I put brand new batteries in one of them, so I was pretty bummed about that. But other then that it was a cool experience for my granddaughter

Review №18

Huge selection. They even stock international candy and chocolate. I specifically love the decade boxes (assorted candy from 1950, 1960, 1970, 1980 and 1990, all available in 2 sizes) and the charming vintage decor and atmosphere. In my opinion this one is a store that is more for adults than kids.

What a fun place to take kids. The candy is from the all the decades such as the 60s and 70s. I had a great time going down memory lane looking at all the candy I use to eat. I definitely recommend this as a must see when hanging with kids.

I went there on the weekend, and the store is open to the general public. There are a lot of snacks to choose from ranging from candy to nuts to dried fruits, etc. The goods are fresh! The management is willing to help, and bargain, too.

Great selection, definitely more for the hardcore candy seeker than the simpler, fun experience like Dylans. Candies and chocolate from all parts and eras - floor to ceiling yumminess! Prices are more focused on the product than for the presentation which is good too!

Review №35

Amazing candy store; I was in awe the moment I stepped in. The prices are unbelievably good and they have a very large selection of sweet treats and nuts (which I completely forgot to photograph.) At the counter they have chocolate covered oreos, smores, chocolate covered pretzels and more. They also have pistachios, turkish pistachios, cashews, etc. The staff is friendly and the store is clean and organized. I will definitely be coming here again if I need a candy fix.One thing I recommend for any chocolate lovers is the Tonys chocolonely chocolate. I tasted the tumeric/chai chocolate and it was awesome

Classic and always wonderful. They have all the nostalgic candy from when you were a kid. They just dont make places like this anymore and having it still in existance and operating as a candy store is a gift.

This place will suddenly brings you straight to your childhood in less than a second. The store have all classic and modern candies that you can ask for, candies that will make you remember about them cause you forgot their existence as you grow up. They are different prices, from the economic through the fancy. The only thing I didnt like was the lack of welcoming and interaction between the staff and customers. Its a place where you become a child, when start to remember everything from back then, the joy comes back... Till you talk to the staff. They cut my emotions in seconds. Besides that, everything is awesome.

I think every piece of candy in the world is in Economy Candy. From classic 70s bubble gum trade cards, Pez, international sweets to chocolate covered everything. I would get a half lb of dark chocolate covered orange peels and Crunchie from UK Cadbury collection. True confectionery love. There is an old world style here that makes you feel like you stepped back in time and when you didnt think about insulin. Something cool and new is a small vinyl record thingy outside. Found a few good jewels in there so thank you Economy Candy!Will always come back here.

I found the candy I wanted to get as a Christmas present for my daughter here. I understood that I ordered late and their normal shipping times would have the candy delivered after the holiday. Even though they were hit with a huge snow storm, I got a notice that the candy was shipped and will be here two days before Christmas. I know who Ill go to when I need candy again!

A unique candy store with an enormous number of products. The selection and variety of different candies and goods is astounding. There are bulk bags of candy (multiple pounds), individually portioned bags (by the pound), boxes and packages of candy, and other sentimental souvenirs (collectable cards, etc). There is something for everyone.

Amazing collection of mainstream and obscure candies, all available in large or small quantities. There are name brands, but also more generic items like foil covered chocolate balls. They have collectibles too. I picked up classic Batman and Simpsons trading card packs from 1989 and 1990--unopened!

A great place to pick up old brands of candy and jelly rings! This is a very interesting and nostalgic establishment of confectionary miracles, minus Wonka candy! The mix of old bubble gum trading cards and bubble gum cigarettes really took me back. Good stop off when in the Lower East Side.

Attention all 90s kids: GO HERE!This place has candy from every decade from the 1920s all the way til the 2000s but for sure if you grew up in the 90s you will be transported. Get ready to get nostalgic and get candy. I hope this place never closes down. Please go and support them!!! They have been in the LES since 1937.

I was surprised at how much variety they have inside. Not just all - time, mass produced favorites like Warheads or Hersheys, they have a lot of European sweets as well as variety boxes packs.Oftentimes, you dont see homemade Halvah being in sold, this place does though. I look forward to my next visit.

If you ever want to find candies you used to eat as a kid and cant find anymore, visit this store and you will find it here. Every candy, every chocolate, every toy you remember is here too. You can even buy gumball machines and Bennie Babies. Even the lunchbox you had as a child. All sorts of nuts by the pound are available here. Their friendly staff will help you find whatever youre looking for. You will not find another store like this one. Enjoy. Ivan Paredes.

I was here as a part of the 3-Hour Lower East Side Walking and Food Tasting Tour (Hi, Nice guy tours). It woke up my inner child, so I can’t be more happy to pay them a visit as soon as all of this is over!I’m sure Willy Wonka would be proud to run such a place. Well stocked shelves with all sorts of sweets. Some of them weren’t even a part of my imagination. Stuff from all over the world. And the cool thing is that this place has a very rich history. I can’t even imagine that this started as a shoe and hat repair shop with a pushcart that sold candy (cool way to advertise, hahaha).I really love such places, that are still ran by the same family since they are open. It adds so much authenticity and charm to them and their good.Speaking about the goods – I felt like I’m ten years old once again. Chocolate, jelly beans, gummies, gum, dried fruit, imported stuff from around the world, Economy brand items (dark chocolate with sea salt – yay!). They had some decade mixes with candy from all generations (bought one from the 80s ). I even got myself a very cool t-shirt.Five stars for this sweets heaven!

I was walking through the neighborhood, and came across this Gem! This place had all the Candies, little toys, and Movie and/Garbage Pail Kids Cards I remembered as a kid,g up in the 80s. With the prices being so good, I couldnt help but indulge and buy a few items. I was pleasantly surprised the candies and bubblegum were very fresh tasting. Ill definitely be swinging by again next time Im in this part of the neighborhood.

Review №94

This store feels like a hidden gem even though everyone I know seems to know about it. Small store, very hole in the wall but packed to the rafters with every type of candy imaginable, even some harder to find imports. The 99¢ table is great for more common candies, too! I always pick up a few Cadbury bars and vintage trading cards when Im in the neighborhood. Take caution though, as the tiny store fills up quickly and has of late become more popular with tourists.
