Mary M MottaSeptember 22, 2015Swedish candy is the best! they especially know their gummies and black (esp. salted) licorice. the variety of sour cola candy is my favorite. mix & match - pay by weight. such a fun treat! 🍬
Marcus LundgrenMay 9, 2015If you are Swedish or have ever been to Sweden THIS is the closest you will ever get to the candy they have there... Brings me back, please try it out it is amazing!
Untapped CitiesJanuary 7, 2016Called “Sweet & Swedish,” Sockerbit, which is also a kind of marshmallow, specializes in Scandinavian candy, making it quite a gem among New York City’s culinary locales. Read more
Celena ChanJune 26, 2015The candies here are different from ordinary bulk bin candies! My favorites here are the marshmallows, especially the banana ones! There is a $5 credit card minimum.
Ehtesh ChoudhuryAugust 24, 2014Top shelf sweets, a cut above your so-so shoppes like Dylan's Candy Shop and FAO Schwarz. The Swedes love their candy. I go for the soft caramel ELEFANTSKUMFöTTER.
Ruth TooAugust 2, 2011My new favorite candy shop. Great selection of candy that's not easy to come by. The shop is very sleek & cool & the workers were so nice & pleasant. To top it off, they close later than most.
BollareAugust 28, 2012My all-time favorite spot in NYC is Sockerbit Candy. The owners are a husband/wife duo who are both just as sweet as the selection that they sell in their shop- Chad HornerSeptember 30, 2017excellent place for a gift for anybody who has a sweet tooth! dozens of different swedish candies that you've never seen before
Elysia MannDecember 11, 2014YUM. Fun gummies and taffys and cool candies in interesting Swedish flavors. Cool spot. Also sell random other Swedish snacks.
Lauren LachsOctober 1, 2013the swedes understand gummies better than we do. go, overstuff your bag, leave happy. (& p.s: you like black licorice more than you think you do. trust.)
Dawnmarie SimonSeptember 8, 2013Love this place... a lil on the pricy side but if u are good about not eating all ur goodies in one sitting, its worth it!!! better than american gummies
Marshmallows are sooo delish. Lots of gummy candy. Love this place. Has become my fav candy store. And staff is so friendly. Always greet you with a smile.
Bryan IrreraMarch 29, 2012Amazing, varied, unusual selection, including candies foreign to the American palette (salted licorice?), but worth a try. Put together a sample pack for yourself!
Lisa ÖvermyrDecember 23, 2014The best candy of course! But also the place to go to get your swedish necessities like knäckebröd, nyponsoppa or julmust.
Guri VenstadJune 10, 2013Awesome selection of mix'n match candy! Fill up your bag with more than you can eat and regret it later
Danielle L.April 4, 2015Great place for amazing salty licorice in the States, but only try it if you're brave.
Dane FeldmanFebruary 26, 2016All the sour candies from here are delicious. Easy to get carried away and spend a lot of money.- CollegeFashionistaFebruary 3, 2014Socketbit is CollegeFashionista's ultimate obsession. The candy is as delicious as it is cute. Satisfy your sweet tooth here.
Christina SquitieriAugust 7, 2013Only place to get Go-Go Pops outside of Coldspring. A Lady M or Mojito Lime is worth the splurge.
Great assortment of Swedish gummies and candies. Yum!
Village VoiceNovember 21, 2011Winner of Best Candy Store in the Village Voice 2011 Best Of issue! Get the original Swedish Fish!
KatariinaMarch 25, 2011Fazer chocolates, salmiakki, lakritsi, lingonberry jam, knackebrod and so many other goodies. It's like candy heaven!
Especially delicious: sour banana marshmallow, hard strawberry, mint toffee. Nougat is fresh and delicious.
Robert GeilsNovember 23, 2013Banana, salted licorice, marshmallow dolphins and chocolate coconut bonbon mmmm
