The Best Candy Stores in Singapore That Are the Reason Behind My Tooth Cavities
I have the worst sweet tooth, and treats like candies are my weaknesses. I’ve consumed so many over the years; my dentist isn’t happy about it!
I love exploring local candy stores. I’m curious to find ones that can help me live out my Willy Wonka fantasies, and here are my best finds so far.
Don’t tell your dentist about these though! And remember to brush your teeth to hide all evidence.
Sweet Tooth
Address: 1 Esplanade Dr, #01-K6 Esplanade Waterfront
Operating Hours: Monday to Sunday—10:30 am to 9:30 pm
Contact Number: +6598283328
Website
Personally, I consider cotton candy a kind of candy (it’s in the name!), and if you do as well, then you’ll love Sweet Tooth.
The owners initially started selling their cotton candy products at pasar malams (night markets) until they got enough traction to have their own brick-and-mortar store. Now, they’re a leading cotton candy supplier, usually for events and the like.
I love the cotton candy here because it’s so soft and pillowy. Of course, it’s already super sweet as is, but that doesn’t stop me from pairing it with other sweet treats like ice cream or cupcakes (yes, I know it’s too much sugar).
Pro Tip: Make your event memorable by booking their free-flow popcorn and cotton candy machine services.
Sticky Singapore
Address: 3 Lor Bakar Batu, #08-05 Union Industrial Center
Operating Hours: Monday to Saturday—10:30 am to 5:30 pm
Contact Number: +6584827788
Website
I always love coming to Sticky Singapore because I get to see the staff make the candies right before my eyes. It’s so fascinating seeing them work with super-hot sugar and mold it until it becomes a long log that can be cut into candies!
My favorite candy to get is the Peanut Butter Crumble because it has a lovely combination. On the outside, it’s crunchy and nutty, but when you bite into it, smooth creamy peanut butter oozes out!
Brain Blasters is also a great flavor. Each candy is covered in an intense coat of incredibly sour powder, and inside is an equally sour filling, so you’ll really pucker your face when you eat one!
Pro Tip: You can design your own candy for special events or even if you just want a fun gift for yourself or loved ones.
Candy Empire Somerset
Address: 313 Orchard Rd, #B2-20 313@somerset
Operating Hours: Monday to Sunday—11 am to 9 pm
Contact Number: +6567333100
Website
Operating since 1973, Candy Empire is one of the most popular sweet treat stores in Singapore. Why wouldn’t it be? This store has been importing notable international brands, and you can find a wide variety of treats here—from cookies to candies!
I love getting the Warheads Extreme sour candies here. These candies are hard, so they’re not really easy to eat, but I do love sucking on them when I’m bored.
I also love the Woogie candies, especially the cocoa mints and honey flavor. They have the right amount of sweetness, and they always have an interesting filling.
Pro Tip: This store offers discounted deals of the month. Look out for them!
Candylicious Resorts World Sentosa Singapore
Address: Sentosa Gateway, #01-310 Universal Studios Singapore
Operating Hours: Monday to Sunday—10 am to 5 pm
Website
If you’re visiting Resorts World in Sentosa, then Candylicious should be on your itinerary. With a brightly colored interior and displays of candies lining the walls, this store is truly a haven for candy lovers!
I always go for the candy beans because they’re my guilty pleasure. I love just shoving handfuls of them into my mouth and relishing the explosion of different flavors.
Of course, this store also sells several branded candies. For example, you can find a section dedicated to M&M’s and Chupa Chups.
Pro Tip: This store has an ice cream section. I recommend buying a cone or cup of ice cream and then topping it off with your favorite candies.
Hershey’s Chocolate World
From: adelaide6666
Address: 76/77 Sentosa Gateway, #01-075 Resorts World Sentosa
Operating Hours: Monday to Sunday—10 am to 8 pm
Contact Number: +6568846733
Website
Also located in Resorts World Sentosa, Hershey’s Chocolate World is the best store for people who love chocolates.
Of course, the chocolate bars are the bestsellers here, but the store also has the iconic Hershey’s Kisses, which are basically chocolate candies in my book. The classic milk chocolate is my favorite flavor, but the cookies and cream one is a close second.
Aside from Hershey’s Kisses, you might want to get Ice Breakers, which are mint cubes. They’re great at refreshing your breath, and they’re also fun to eat. I love the strawberry and Arctic grape flavors.
Pro Tip: You can create a customized gift set here!
See’s Candies Chocolate Shops
Address: 583 Orchard Rd, #01-K2 Forum the Shopping Mall
Operating Hours: Monday to Sunday—10:30 am to 8 pm
Contact Number: +6566842433
Website
See’s Candies is a wildly popular candy store. In fact, it has countless locations all over the world, and in Singapore alone, there are two!
This store sells American-made candies and chocolates, and they always have unique flavors. I really like the lollipops that taste like root beer, which is shocking because I don’t like the beverage version. There are even cinnamon-flavored candies too!
I also love the Little Pops, which are essentially lollipops but smaller. My favorite flavor is the chocolate one, but I also recommend butterscotch and cafe latte.
Pro Tips:
Get a free sample of the candies you’re interested in so that you can narrow down your choices to the ones you like.
You can create your very own custom mixed box of chocolates and candies here. This works perfectly as a gift!

- Friday and Saturday—11:30 am to 9 pm
- Sunday—11:30 am to 7 pm

For gummy bear enthusiasts, Bears and Friends Singapore is the candy store to check out! Operating since 1995, this store offers more than 80 gummy bear flavors—from classic to unusual!
If you like the classic flavors, you should get the Classic Cola Bottle gummies or the Fruit Juice Berries gummies. The Sour Fruit Juice Bears are also great because the intense flavors will make you pucker your face!
For me, I like the ones with unique flavors. The Party Bears are my favorite so far because they taste like pineapple raspberry sparkling wine (and yes, it does contain alcohol!).
Pro Tip: Sometimes, the store holds promotions like limited-time discounts and themed gummy bears.
VENCHI Singapore Marina Bay Sands
Address: 8 Bayfront Avenue B2-56A Canal Level, The Shoppes at Marina Bay Sands
Operating Hours:
- Sunday to Thursday—10:30 am to 10 pm
- Friday and Saturday—10:30 am to 11 pm
Contact Number: +6566887010
Website
Located within Marina Bay Sands, VENCHI is another store that will appeal to chocolate lovers. This brand has been around since 1878, so it’s not a surprise that it now has multiple locations all over the world.
I love getting the Chocoviar Arancia, which has chocolate candies with fruity flavors. The candies also have a soft blood orange filling inside, and I love the burst of citrus I get every time I bite into one.
I also recommend any of the Cubboto Chocoviar options. They have a crunchy exterior and gooey filling inside. My favorite flavor is the creme brulee one because it’s so addictively sweet!
Pro Tips: Feel free to create your own packet of chocolate candies! This store also sells gelato.
Royce’
Address: 4 Tampines Central 5, #01-31B Tampines Mall
Operating Hours: Monday to Sunday—11 am to 9 pm
Contact Number: +6565383024
Website
Royce’ is a chocolate shop originating in Sapporo, and now it has branched out to other countries, including Singapore!
Whenever I visit the physical store, I’m always in awe of the assortment of flavors available here. The classic option, Au Lait, is my favorite, and it has a rich flavor and smooth texture.
Many of the chocolates offered here have traces of alcohol in them, but don’t worry because they also have liquor-free options that are perfect for children and adults who don’t like alcohol.
Pro Tip: Some products sold here are temperature-sensitive, so be sure to check before you purchase anything. To be safe, simply store the chocolates in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight.
Läderach
Address: 78 Airport Blvd., #01 – 241 Jewel Changi Airport
Operating Hours: Monday to Sunday—10 am to 10 pm
Contact Number: +6569588154
Website
Läderach is a well-known brand in Switzerland, and thank goodness, there are multiple locations in Singapore now. My go-to branch is the one in Jewel Changi Airport.
I love getting the truffles because they’re so smooth and rich. They’re also not that sweet, making it easy to devour them in no time. Honestly, I think I can eat a whole box by myself!
I also really like their snacking products, which are small, irregularly shaped chocolatey bites. I recommend the Chocolate Nonpareil Dark. It consists of paper-thin discs coated in milk chocolate and topped with colorful sprinkles.
Pro Tips:
This store sells gift boxes and hampers if you’re looking for a fun gift idea for a friend.
Another gift you can give to a fellow chocolate lover is a gift certificate from Läderach.
CandyCrunch
CandyCrunch is a store I’ve only heard about recently because it’s an online store, and I’m so happy I tried them out because now, I’m always ordering something from them.
This candy store specializes in freeze-dried candies, a concept I never thought I’d like before. They also sell halal candy options, so if you’re Muslim, this is the store for you.
I love the freeze-dried marshmallows (Lucky Charms) because they’re so light, airy, and crispy. Sometimes, I’m in the mood to get creative and use these candies as toppings for my ice cream. It works really well; the freeze-dried candies add a nice texture!
Pro Tips: Since this is a small business and its products are made-to-order, it might take a few days before your order is shipped to your house. The moment you open the bag, consume the candies immediately. Otherwise, you risk the texture changing.
Janice Wong Pure Imagination
Address: 1 Kim Seng Promenade, #B1 K119 Great World
Operating Hours: Monday to Sunday—10 am to 9 pm
Website
I’ve been a big fan of Janice Wong for a long time, so of course, I had to check out her Pure Imagination, a store specializing in bean-to-bar chocolate and other artisanal products. And wow, this store truly feels imaginative—like a real-life Willy Wonka!
My favorite product that I’ve purchased so far is the Chocolate Crayon Box, which has chocolates that really do look like crayons. I love how colorful they are, and each “crayon” has its own flavor. Biting into them is such an experience!
I also love getting the Singapore Signature chocolates, which are inspired by the flavors of local delights. Have you ever wondered how laksa leaf lemongrass tastes in chocolate form? Well, now you can get your answer!
Pro Tips: Janice Wong often hosts workshops that let you paint chocolates.
The SGFR Store

Address: 139 Tampines St. 11, #01-34
Operating Hours:
- Monday to Thursday—11 am to 8 pm
- Friday to Sunday—11 am to 9 pm
Contact Number: +6583339301
Website
The SGFR Store is a popular snack store in the country. Though their drinks are their bestsellers, their selection of candies is worth checking out as well.
What I love about this store is that they stock candies from different countries. Products made in the US and UK are the most famous, but there are also snacks in countries like Turkey and Saudi Arabia!
I like getting the Big Sky cotton candy mints. They’re sugar-free, but somehow, they still taste like actual cotton candy! I also enjoy the Atomic FireBall candies, which are indeed super spicy but also kind of sweet.
Pro Tips: Sometimes, this store hosts special promotions like limited-time discounts and discounts for students.
