Katrina PeraltaSeptember 4, 2013Great places to pick up some treats to take home to friends and family. I especially like the wide variety of chocolate bars offered. Be sure to check out the cafe upstairs too.
Harumi USeptember 28, 2014A lot of people just stay downstairs which is also fun. They do a lot of seasonal items too (like Halloween themes candies at the moment) but they actually have a bar section as well
Jessica w/ Event StaticJanuary 9, 2013Get the cupcake latte from upstairs! It's amazing! Perfect amount of caffeine to perk you up, and the sweetness of a yummy cupcake rolled into one! Be sure to check out the celebrity candy wall too!
Tracy SolorzanoFebruary 21, 2016Literally like a kid in a candy shop. They have EVERYTHING and more! It's hard not to go crazy with three floors of sweetness so be careful because they charge by the pound and it gets pricey.
Jonathan HosterDecember 11, 2016Go upstairs to the seating/bar area and grab a candy-inspired adult beverage! Amazing! The best part of being a kid with the best part of being an adult!
Halstead PropertyJuly 10, 2013One of our many favorite desserts available in this candy bar, the Smore’s bar is made of divine Belgian chocolate and melts with the crunchiness from graham cracker bites & softness from marshmallows
Whiskey PatriotJuly 26, 2016Where does one begin! This is truly a fantastic candy store! Adults & kids will enjoy all 3 levels of this one of a kind candy land!
Raquel VasconcelosSeptember 12, 2014Candy heaven! Don't forget to check ou the bar upstairs. Delicious!!! They also have some pretty cool stuff, awesome gift ideas!
Kelly RamosMarch 7, 2012Amazing candy selection. They have everything from shirts to iPhone cases. Cocktails are awesome on the second floor. It Can get packed at times but the candy is worth it. (3 of 4 petals via Fondu) Read more
Roger RJune 2, 2016Awesome place for kids...or to act like one!..downstairs has a really good treats area...chocolate covered twinkies!!
StageBuddyApril 8, 2013If you haven't checked out their newly revamped Cafe, do so NOW. You can sit in cupcakes while you sip on their version of frozen hot chocolate and chow down on Crumbs cupcakes. Read more
YaniqueAugust 28, 2014Must visit spot on the Upper East Side! Come out for a fun afternoon and indulge your sweet tooth! Prices aren't as outrageous as I was expecting!
Kyla-Emman NarvaezJune 14, 2013Fun energetic place for both kids and adults. Always busy during weekends and most afternoons. Would suggest trying out the bar upstairs for alcoholic drinks with candy themes!
Carina-Therese KarlsenFebruary 28, 2014A great place with loads of candy! Paradise for candylovers! A lot of famous people come here, and a few of the staff will tell you what they buy here!;)
The Transit NavigatorSeptember 24, 2011The best place for candy-fanatics. The ground floor is pick-and-mix, the lower level is pre-packaged candy (and souvenirs), and the upper level is the dessert bar. Grab a container, and stuff 'er!
Delta WilliamsMarch 14, 2014This place has the coolest stairs! I only got a candy bar because every thing was pretty expensive but I would definetly go back!
Nazila MathariOctober 27, 2012I walk by this place almost everyday and didn't stop by till today. I was like a kid in a candy store literally. The chocolate fountain was pretty and loved how the layout and the candy stairs :)
Audrey TolbertMarch 16, 2015One might call this place a cathedral of candy. Where a multitude of colors reflect and shine throughout the store like light passing through the stained glass windows of Chartres.
Vero NikaAugust 24, 2015Mason jars by Dani are Incredible disappointment here+dirty sticky floors & non friendly blond reception girl at the second floor. We made on order but she did not allow us to sit at the small table!
Sophie NasaridisSeptember 22, 2013Harry Potter's fans, get your chocolate frog (comes with a collectible wizard card) and Bertie Bott's beans (jelly belly)
Stacy AdamJanuary 18, 2011This is the only place I've been able to find dark chocolate with sea salt. All other places seem to only have milk choc. Definitely my favorite candy bar ever. Even if it is $5. Totally worth it.
Yolanda ShoshanaAugust 27, 2011Dylan's is a world of candy! It makes the list due to the fact that there are things here that can help you #eatsexy. Plenty of chocolate around! Find something that you can use to eat off your lover!
Andy NNovember 29, 2011More sweets (or Candy obviously ...) than you can shake a stick at. Visit the store near Bryant Park for some good eats and then a nice place to sit and relax afterwards.
Ina LiFebruary 20, 2015Loving the giant by bubble gum machine at the event venue floor and the candy staircase
Gozde AksayJuly 19, 2013Their light and tasty ice cream, combined with the m&m cone which actually tastes like m&m cookie, is a great summer dessert.
Caroline SchulweisDecember 4, 2014Check out the bar upstairs if you're 21+! Lots of fun clever candy concoctions/cocktails!
StonehengeNYCDecember 15, 2011It's a candy store, but Dylan's not just for kids! If you can't decide on a candy, try one of their winter drinks. They have a great variety of hot chocolates. Read more
Aimee CJuly 4, 2011owned/run by Dylan Lauren (Ralph Lauren's daughter). Very unique canybars offered here. I picked up an s'more, malted milk, toffee crunch among others. If you can't find your fav candy from childhoo- Waldo JaquithSeptember 3, 2013Go straight downstairs, to the back. Against the far wall is their selection of legit candy bars from around the U.S. The rest of the building is filler.
Will WeaverMay 3, 2014Be warned - simply breathing the air in this place could give you diabetes. Seriously, they have all the candy you could possibly want. What could possibly go wrong?
Nima BeckieJuly 24, 2010Lots of fun!! You'll have a nostalgia trip looking at the all candy from childhood. If there's a candy out there, they'll probably have it. In addition if you're big on smelling sweet (like a cupcake) Read more
jasmine jeffersonMarch 23, 2015Large array of options; love chocolate in itself; great place for a cute little date after dinner
Sour patch peach mojito is the way to go. Hit the bar upstairs then take a customized bag of candy to go.
The Negotiation Institute (TNI)May 23, 2012The most difficult skill to master as a parent is 'the art of negotiating' with your child, especially inside the real-life Wonka world that is Dylan's. FACT: kids are naturally skilled negotiators.
Gilt CityDecember 12, 2011The must-visit Upper East Side emporium offers everything from Dylan’s Candy Bar fashion for men, women, and kids, sweets-inspired beauty products, iPhone covers, dog toys and more.
Townley GirlAugust 3, 2011Keep it sugary and sweet with Dylan's Candy Bar. Packed with all kinds of goodies (that will probably rot your teeth) there is a type of candy for everyone.
Bill CampbellMay 28, 2011For a place to eat your snack off premises in nice weather, make a left out the door on 60th for the court yard in front of CPK. Jake likes the Jelly Belly blueberry soda
Steff HindSeptember 15, 2014Head upstairs, Grab a cocktail and sit in a giant cupcake for table service. Try a strawberry nerd mojito
Stephen JulianoDecember 13, 2010You've gotta grab some fudge! The Raspberry Cheesecake and Cinnamon Coffee Cake are just two of the best! They let you sample the flavors before you buy too!
The cookie mess and coffee and donut ice cream are everything. Do yourself a favor and try both.
Roxana GeorgescuNovember 28, 2014Anybody can find theie own sweet or less sweet poison.... if you go upstairs, they have some nice macaroons
Stephanie KleinJune 17, 2012It's not just for summer! Hot chocolate love here. Great itinerary: Bloomingdale's, Serendipity III, followed by Dylan's (with a to-go trinket), then FAO Schwartz. Perfect kid day.
The cookie mess and Oreo cheesecake milkshake is the best
Nancy HagertyJanuary 21, 2013Try the Strawberry Nerds Mojito - Sour Parch Margarita, Strawberry Nerds Mojito, Pop Rocks Martini ~ LOVE, LOVE & LOVE!
David SchwartzMay 20, 2017Serious this place is nirvana for kids or adult candy lovers. More than just candy; ice cream, adult bevs and fudge galore.
Jenn HJune 30, 2010A little expensive for the stuff you can get anywhere, but for specialty candy it's great! I found sour gummy cola bottles! And, their cupcakes are from Crumbs, so just go there for more choices.
George BalgosJune 26, 2010Go to the bar upstairs for some great cupcakes. It's also surprisingly uncrowded and a great place to relax after you make a Serendipity reservation! (Don't deny it!)
