Popular international candy shop with self-serve mix-your-own options
"Gummy enthusiasts of lower Manhattan have a new option to satisfy their all-consuming desires for bubblegum skulls and sour cola bottles. Viral pick-and-mix candy shop Lil Sweet Treat has expanded to a third NYC location in the East Village. (They’re already in the West Village and Rockefeller Center.)" - will hartman, willa moore, molly fitzpatrick, sonal shah, bryan kim
"Recently opened a new East Village location at 150 Second Avenue (between East Ninth and Tenth streets). The mini‑chain is known for a wide array of international candies sold scoop‑style into buckets so customers can mix their own selections; another location is scheduled to open in Philadelphia on June 14." - Nadia Chaudhury
"Lil Sweet Treat’s storefront is so narrow that only a few customers can fit inside at any one time, but line up they do, inside and outside — where a line wrangler is needed to control the excited crowd. The place dispenses gummy candies from around the world, some sweet, some sour, from rows of hinged Plexiglas bins. Lil Sweet Treat is the kind of store common at shopping malls two decades ago, reconceived by a new generation." - Robert Sietsema
