BouNom Emporium - Avon, Connecticut

This place definitely is pricey but worth it as the only Swedish candy in the area. If you haven’t had Swedish candy you will be pleasantly surprised as the flavor and quality is way above American candy. This place is very cute, clean, and organized. I can’t recommend enough as there are so many options and the quality is worth the price. All your favorite options are here so you can try as little or much of it as you like. Staff was very friendly and answered all my questions- Definitely a try for candy lovers!!! Recommend

Lovely addition to the plaza. Lots of candies from around the world that you won't find elsewhere. The owner greeted me warmly and was very pleasant while I shopped. If you love sour gummy candies they have EVERYTHING you want!!!!!

If you're a fan of BouNom Bakery, you will be a fan of BouNom Emporium. Khamla, the owner, recently opened up a gilded age candy shop right across the parking lot from there. They sell retro toys and candies from Japan, Korea, and Europe.

It's a cute little shop that has a small silo connected to it. They did a wonderful job with the decor and colors inside and outside. When you first walk in, on the left there are an assortment of candies that you can scoop into a bag. You pay by the weight. The candies range from chocolate covered gummy bears to gummy cracked eggs. There was a table with more goodies. In the back you will find the toys and more treats. There was a room located in the silo that had a bench around it; it reminded me of a garden.

Khamla was at the cash register and was super nice as always. She gave my son a couple of candies, on the house. She even had a shelf full of toys for the kids to play with. I was definitely like a kid in a candy shop! I have a sweet tooth and I love unique treats. The candies were so good; I loved the chocolate covered marshmallow and gummy bears and the banana candies. My family and I are definitely a fan and look forward to going back.

All the candy was fresh and well displayed. Had a fun time choosing everything and you pay by weight for the stuff you bag yourself. Just like all the other candy stores, and pricing was similar. Really liked this place and the wide selection - will be back.
Also the young woman who walked me through everything was very kind and sweet.

We loved this candy shop so much!!! So many different kind of candies to choose from. There’s candy from all over the world. They’re all delicious. It’s also very nicely decorated inside. It brings back nostalgic memories. Our kids had the best time coming here and so did we!! Will come back again soon.

Adorable shop with amazing candy!

I was greeted with a smile the moment I walked in. The place smells incredible and has such a fun, inviting vibe. It was my first time visiting, and the Swedish candy quickly became my favorite! I’ll definitely be back for my next candy fix.

I went to your store around 1:30 yesterday and the store was empty from customers and we noticed two employees. I drove from about 25 minutes away to check out your Swedish candy selection with my mom. I noticed you had a lot of variety and was very excited and walking in when the store was empty was a bonus, gave me a chance to browse. But I was very disheartened when I walked in and noticed one employee (black girl) watch my mom and I walk in and she immediately walked into the back. The cashier looked over and went back to adjusting something behind the counter. No one greeted us or said anything. So I continued to look and navigate myself, I had to ask questions on which scoop goes where and which bag to use. I went around and got my candy wondering why no one said anything to my mom and I especially being the only ones in the store. They just kept doing their own thing, I asked what their favorite candy was and the cashier answered the other employee simply laughed at my question. My mom asked if they had a certain candy and the cashier rolled her eyes and pointed in a direction. During this another couple walked in and also was not greeted, I over heard them mention how rude it was that no one said anything to them and they walked out. When I walked up to pay for my candy a group of teenage girls came in and both employees greeted them asked how they were doing. The cashier showed them where bags and scoops were as the other employee told them where they could find all the candy around the store where the scales were etc. The store is great but your customer service was terrible. Two groups felt disrespected because they weren't greeted or talked to but yet a small group of young adults came in and they were talked to and shown everything. All I hear about is how it's a woman owned shop and the owner is amazing and so friendly, I didn't see that from any of their staff. Do better.
