"Resist the smell of this Aladdin’s cave of candies we’ll assume you have a cold. A tiny one-off in the maze of the Gothic Quarter, this boutique is the original birthplace of the Papabubble franchise. The specialty here is hard candies with images (fruit, hearts) or messages embedded into the center. The colors are intense and inviting; the flavor combos are bold; and the process of creating the sweets (entirely by hand) is fascinating. Show up at the right moment and you can watch it evolve from a saucepan of punchy lava into carefully constructed rolls." - Gemma Askham
