Dylan's Candy Bar

It is interesting how color affects our taste buds, and also our appetite. With so many food made for photos nowadays, it gets our curiosities high, and expectation of a good time also high. I have been wanting to try out Dylan’s Candy Bar since I have seen some yummy looking photos. This is a candy shop with restaurant on the upper floor. After we explored the entire store, two stories of them, it was time for the Dylan’s Candy Café & Bar to be open. The inside was nice and bright with lots of natural light coming in, with the wall facing the street covered with window. The interior was as whimsical as their shop downstairs. We ordered cocktails to go with our brunch, Tropical Splash and Toasted Marshmallow. We were told that the bartender was out, and that the manager was making the drinks. And he felt that the torch that is used for marshmallow is leaking gas… so he had to make it without torching them. Disappointing... They were both tasty though. For food, we ordered Beer-Battered Fish Tacos and Mega Burger. To be honest, I didn't expect much from this touristy spot, but they surprised me in a good way. They were actually really good and tasty. Then we ended with a humongous dessert, Best of Both Worlds. It was really big, really sweet, rich and decadent. I don't want to know how much calorie that thing has... We certainly got more than enough sugar for the day (or for a week). We enjoyed it regardless. Service was REALLY slow, even though it was not so busy. We didn’t really see our waitress much the whole time we were there. She was very nice and friendly, just not efficient. We asked for refill on water, and she completely forgotten about it. We finally got water maybe 30 minutes later… The food and dessert also took a long time to come out. When the restaurant is not busy at all, I don’t know why it takes so long to prepare the food. It took a long time to have our brunch because of the slow service. Other than that, we had a good brunch. Read my full review of the restaurant and food on my food blog, foodlovergirl.

A very interesting store with a wide variety of candy. The displays are great and the merchandise is very unique. You can buy in bulk bags for convenience. Half a pound costs $7.99. Hope this helps!

This is a three story candy store that sells not only candy, but cookies, ice cream and even liquor. The employees were friendly and helpful. The stores sells many different types of candy and many flavors. There were also many different sizes, for instance we saw mini jaw breakers all the way up to a collosal Jase breakers.

You can buy almost any type of candy here including imported candy and chocolate although it can be very expensive. An aero bar cost approx $3.50 plus tax, in the UK it costs approx £0.80 including tax. They have a good selection of branded merchandise available but it can be quite expensive once tax is added. Overall a good shop to visit if you have a sweet tooth.

If you haven't been, just visit. It's an experience. Epic selection, kids love it, not too expensive, no obvious product placement or cashing in. This is a place that does exactly what it says on the tin and does a great job of it. Over the top bombastic decor and displays are great. The staff are all friendly as well.

The place has full of goodies, even though they're pricey, and have gifts from clothing to toys. The place is very colorful and upbeat. Definitely a perfect place for a family to visit and get a treat (even if you don't buy anything!). The upper level is where you can have a party with a bar and ice cream. Very fun!

Super friendly staff! Amazing selection of candy. A but overpriced for much of the candy, but we all know it's because of the name attached. Love the cotton candy made fresh in front of you and the bakery....everyone was really sweet and helpful.

If you came to Times Square and have a sweet tooth, visit Dylans Candy Bar. You will not be disappointed. Three floors of yum. The giant candy flosses are so good and you are spoilt for choice in sweets. The cafe upstairs is fantastic and the food was delicious. You can literally spend hours in here it is a sweetie lovers heaven.
