Lollipops. Gummies. Chocolates. Jellybeans. Cookies. And more! If you’ve ever dreamed of being a kid in a literal candy store, these exquisitely sweet and colourful shopping destinations around the world were made for you.
1. Candylicious, Singapore
Their slogan is ‘Eat Happy’ – and when you visit Candylicious, it’s entirely doable!
This decadent candy store can be found in three locations throughout Singapore – Resorts World Sentosa is probably the best, but also check out Takashimaya Shopping Centre and Vivo City.
At the Resorts World entrance, artificial trees dangle with bigger-than-life lollypops, and inside you’ll find over 800sqm of lolly goodness.

Dylan Lauren’s candy bars have become a sweet American staple, and its flagship shop can be found in New York (with other store branches found in Miami, Chicago, and Los Angeles).
Visiting these shops is something akin to Willy Wonka’s chocolate factory, and the brand boasts over 7,000 confections. We bet Dad, Ralph Lauren, is pretty proud.

When in Covent Garden … eat lollies! Sweets and chocolates abound at SugarSin, with lollies both imported from elsewhere and handcrafted by the shopkeepers themselves.

Can’t make it to Covent Garden? You’ll also find a second sinful location at Shoreditch!

Say hello to candy intertwined with high-end luxury. At Sugarfina, you’ll find the craziest, most opulent lollies – like peach bellini gummies, maple bourbon caramels, sea salt liquorice, and even 24-carat champagne marshmallows.
