Small boutique by the movie theaters and also near Shake Shack. We came to the mall on a weekday and decided to get treats to bring home. When we passed by, there was a sign indicating that staff was on break so we decided to come back after lunch. When we came back there was a lady behind the counter and she was assisting other customers. Yes, this candy is expensive but holy cow are they delicious. My husband like the gummy candies, and the one we picked out were very flavorful. I wish there were samples so that you're able to try them, but they do sell sample packets (4 for $10). Each sample packet some with about 10 pieces of small candies. My daughter chose the sea salt caramels and when I tried them they were delicious. The chocolate was not too overbearing and had a small hint of sea salt. The caramel was the right amount of stickiness and didn't stick too much to your teeth. Packaging is beautiful and a nice gift for those who appreciate sweets!

We came to the shop on Saturday 11/25 14:40, and the staff Audrey and Branda ( sorry if I spelled wrong) were super nice and helpful. Last time they helped me with choosing gift boxes. I appreciate their service and hope they can get promotion in the future? ps: the Santa gummy is yummy!!

The candy at sugarfina is definitely overpriced and honestly not great. Especially the long stem rose gummies that tasted worse than the $2 haribo cherries from CVS. There are a few gummies like the champagne gummy bears that are very good but still overpriced.

Sugarfina makes an effort to label their food with known allergens, however the store clerk had no idea what any of them meant. When I asked her if any of the chocolate was vegan, she said yes it was all vegan... this didn't make any sense to me because I read several of the packages before asking and they all said "contain milk". When I pointed out the label said this, she told me that chocolate had to be made with milk and it's still vegan if it has milk in it. She told me she use to make chocolate at Godiva and they must use milk but this doesn't stop it from being vegan and that's how sugarfina does it. When I told her there is vegan chocolate on the market with absolutely zero milk products used, she started to argue with me and said she should know... I politely asked her to not tell people chocolate with dairy products is vegan because she could mislead someone with a serious dairy allergy and she said that's not her problem- they should read the ingredients which are written so small you can barely see them. I beg any manager in this company to properly train people working in the store so the public is not at risk and so they don't argue at all- let alone incorrectly with customers. One of the worst experiences I've ever had shopping.

I love sugarfina! It is very pricey, but they do market themselves as a luxury store, so that's fitting. They do have sales/deals often so wait for deals before purchasing if you're looking to save. All of the candies I have tried from here have been so yummy and flavorful! They have also given me a free sample each time I have came to the store which I really appreciate! The items I have tried are the strawberry champagne bears, island pineapple gummies, lemon ginger kombucha bears, and oatmeal cookie balls (highly recommend). ALL of these were great! I love the unique flavors offered and how they make sure each item they make has great flavor. Looking forward to trying more items from Sugarfina :)

What can be a better way to reward yourself after a long working day ?The gummy candies!They come in varieties and adorable packaging. We walked into the store and came out with a big bag of treats! The place is very enlightening, lots of shelf displays, it's very convenient to find merchandise. The staff was very friendly, she introduced us to some samplers, then she helped us to find the products.In addition to the yummy treats, the store also offers some promotional deals, definitely worth a trip to visit and shop around.

Cute gummies if you like sugar a lot. I've had these a few times and they are delicious but take me forever to eat. This little store is cute and the gummies make for nice gifts.

Sugarfina has the best candy selection ever! My go to for gifts, often for myself! They always have a fun new collaboration or seasonal flavors and mini hard to find brands that you won't find anywhere else. The quality is well worth the price and the packaging is always beautiful! Service is very helpful, be sure to sign up for the rewards program for special offers and birthday freebies!

I came to UTC right after getting my hair done and I had to check out Sugarfina. They had come out with chocolate bars based on tea last year and I finally got an opportunity to try them out! Luckily enough the chocolate that I wanted was 50% off, I ended up buying a white chocolate matcha bar, a white chocolate lemon tea and a rose gummy bear cube! I love Sugarfina, my husband gets me candies from here for Christmas. For the little amount I spent the sales associate was so nice and made my shopping bag so cute! Definitely a great place for great candy gift giving, check them out.

Sugarfina probably should not be a “veg shop,” but I am unsure how to classify it; maybe just a store? If someone knows, please submit an update or let me know! Otherwise, it is a charming little candy store with a decent amount of vegan products. I have wanted to try them for a while and thought about ordering them online but finally, after seeing them at the mall went inside. The staff instantly knew exactly what candies were vegan and showed me the labeling of vegan options. There was one all-vegan tropical box and various other candies that were vegan. The manager (I assume) popped her head out of the backroom and told us about vegan samples. We tried a strawberry one (which was good and reminded me of a candy I had years ago in Germany and never found in the U.S) but decided to buy the cranberry cocktail bears and heavenly sours. I will admit I ate the cranberry cocktail bears in basically one sitting… oops. The vegan gummies were pretty close to their gelatin counterparts, of course, not the exact same texture but closer than other alternatives. The heavenly sours were similar to sour patch kids, so I would probably not get them again, but they were good! The staff was friendly, and even though it was a little pricey, in my opinion, I would definitely get them again. Worth a stop if you are at the mall! Updated from previous review on 2022-05-17
