A New Generation of Candy Shops Arrives in New York With Lil Sweet Treat - Eater NY
"Lil Sweet Treat is a new candy shop in the West Village, opened by Elly Ross. It specializes in international gummies from countries like Sweden, Spain, Germany, and Belgium. The shop operates with a pick-and-mix model, allowing customers to select from various candies and have them weighed at the counter. It fills the void left by Sockerbit, a Swedish candy store that closed during the pandemic. Ross, inspired by her travels and a gap in the market for diverse candy textures and flavors, sells candy at $19.40 a pound. The shop sources its candies primarily from Western Europe but plans to expand to offerings from Asia and South America." - Bettina Makalintal
