The kicker for me are the Charlie & Wonka chocolate toy trucks with chocolate inside---got this as a backburner for a few Christmas gifts.

And it's not all candy and gummy bears; they even sell 12-pack can of my beloved Coke Cherry...and the disgusting Vanilla flavour too.

In the back, they've got an impressive stand alone rack of Pez everything...even Hello Kitty, unfortunately.

Willfully,... more

Try not smile in this store. I dare you! Are you strong enough to frown and be dismal while surrounded by the happiest colours and flavours from around the world? I lied. Don't try this! Do yourself the best favour and give into the candy. Let yourself be taken over by the bright, magical colours of Gummi Boutique.

The feeling I get when I walk into Gummi Boutique is way better than a kid in a... more

What can I say about Gummi Boutique? Living a few doors away from their Kensington location is proving to be dangerous to me, my sweet tooth, and my lack of willpower. They have pretty much everything you could possibly imagine. Apart from the usual chocolate and gummi candies, they have an incredibly impressive assortment of imported candy bars. (i have a friend who used to buy Whatchamacallit... more

Whenever I walk into Gummi Boutique, it's quite literally like being a kid in a candy store. How so?

a) It's a candy store.
b) I'm really good at being as excited (or more so) as a 5 yr old about candy!

Last Christmas, I loaded up on vintage candies for aunts and uncles. How did I know they were vintage? Easy. I walked in and asked if they had anything that people 55-65 would enjoy from their... more

This place is right next door to my best friend's flat, so it is way too easy to stop in here when I'm pet sitting for her.

There is just SO many things to look at and buy, from tried and true classic candies, to totally bizarre novelty candies and gifts (anyone need a pink fuzzy moustache for a party?), to an entire wall of bulk bins. Yum!

Prices seem a bit high, but they're not ridiculous,... more

I had to write an update... the staff here are awesome. They are helpful without being pushy or in your face.
James at the til was a rockstar. I did not know Yelpers got a 10% discount for checking in. I am unable to check in anywhere these days as my new BB does not have a Yelp app which really blows! James took my word for it and my bill for my wad of sour candy came down!
Love the selection... more

I loves me a candy store and now that I have kids, entering one is justified in my own mind. Something for everyone here including gifts and ideas for birthday party loot bags. Some very unique candies and tons of jelly bellies as well as some harder to find items from my youth. I feel no shame in admitting we left with 3 bags of candy with one of them being mine (tee hee). Every once in awhile... more

How come I never heard of this place before?

Candy heaven is the first thought that comes to mind when I was thinking of what to write in this review. One wall is filled with all these wonderful bulk candy bins that you can scoop into either a plastic bag or a cute box (for a $1 extra) and afterwards you pay by weight.
The other areas of the store are filled with other fun and different candy... more

I came here to write about the Vanilla Coke but Teagan P. beat me to it.

Still, pretty amazing. There's also Cherry Coke and I discovered on my second visit that there's a retro fridge in the back where you can get cans of those items individually without having to pay for a whole case.

The candy selection is amazing, the staff is a lot of fun, great style and decor. More people need to know... more

They sell vanilla coke, nuff said.
