Why people drive out

The candy you'd normally cross the county for

Most people looking for Swedish candy end up driving all the way into Los Angeles. We built the wall here instead — plus Dubai chocolate, European imports and every viral snack the internet is talking about this week.

  • A full Swedish pick-and-mix wall, restocked weekly
  • Dubai chocolate bars — pistachio, kunafa and the new drops
  • Freeze-dried snacks, exotic sodas and nostalgic classics
  • Staff who'll actually help you pick — that's the whole point
Bulk & party

Build your own bag in three moves

Birthdays, baby showers, weddings, office parties — tell us the colours and the headcount, and we'll put the candy table together.

Grab a scoop

Work the bins — gummies, chocolate, sour, sugar free, bubblegum and hard candy, all priced by weight.

Match your colours

Doing a theme? We'll sort by colour so the table matches the balloons, not fights them.

We box it up

Favour bags, candy bouquets or full party trays — collect in store, or ship free over $75.

In their words

What customers keep telling us

"My favorite candy shop in CA!!! Located in downtown Upland, I was shocked to find their large assortment of Swedish candy. Most other places I know about are all the way out in LA, so this was much more convenient. The owner is very sweet & welcoming."

SamanthaUpland

"Always friendly helpful service. I love this shop. It reminds me of the candy shops I had growing up. All the best candy we grew up with as well as the new candy of today. Also the only place I've seen with a great selection of Swedish candy."

ChanelleUpland

"This place is truly a TRUE CANDY store. This place will make any child happy and will bring out the kid life of an adult lol. The ladies in here are energetic, positive vibe. I'm happy to have businesses like this in our beautiful Downtown Upland."

Our story

A father, a daughter, and one very good idea

Uptown Candy Shop opened in 2023 in Downtown Upland — a father and daughter who shared a sweet tooth and a pile of childhood memories, betting on the idea that the Inland Empire deserved a proper candy store.

Three shops later — plus a kiosk in Rancho and a gift shop — the plan hasn't changed: stock what people actually can't find nearby, keep the bins full, and treat everyone walking in like they're about to have the best part of their day.

"She was telling us how this store was hard to start up, but she's excited about the investment on her and her family's future. Please support her small business!"

Questions we get asked

Where are Uptown Candy Shop's locations?

We have four candy stores and one gift shop across the Inland Empire, California: Upland (237 N 2nd Ave — our flagship in Downtown Upland), Riverside (5225 Canyon Crest Dr, Suite 1, in Canyon Crest Towne Centre), Chino (16357 Main St #160, at Town Center at The Preserve) and a kiosk in Rancho Cucamonga (8443 Haven Ave). Uptown Gift Shop is four doors up from the candy shop at 241 N 2nd Ave, Upland.

Do you sell Swedish candy?

Yes — Swedish candy is what most people come in for. We keep a full pick-and-mix wall in store, which means you don't need to drive into Los Angeles to find it. You can also order Swedish candy online for delivery.

Do you have Dubai chocolate bars?

We stock Dubai chocolate bars alongside our viral and TikTok-famous snacks. Stock moves fast — follow @uptowncandyshop on Instagram or TikTok to see what's landed this week.

What are your opening hours?

Our stores are open Monday to Saturday, 11:00am–7:00pm, and Sunday 11:00am–6:00pm. The Rancho Cucamonga kiosk follows its centre's hours.

Can I order candy for a party or event?

Absolutely. We put together candy tables, favour bags and candy bouquets for birthdays, baby showers, weddings and office parties — including colour matching to your theme. Message any store or email uptowncandyshop7@gmail.com with your date and headcount.

What is Uptown Gift Shop?

Uptown Gift Shop is our gift and collectible-toy store, a few doors up from the candy shop at 241 N 2nd Ave in Downtown Upland. It stocks Fugglers, blind boxes, Sonny Angel figures, Pokémon and plush — so you can pick up the gift and the candy on the same trip. Call (909) 449-1060.
