L: ①Dylan's Candy Bar
Accounted for three floors, the amazing candy store was opened in 2001 by the Candy Queen,Dylan Lauren. It looks just like Willy Wonka' s chocolate factory: a colourful lollipop tree near the entrance, the goods shelves that in the shape of flooding chocolate, iridescent Macaroons on the shelf, and glass jars fully filled with doughnuts and Oreo crumbs. It is like a sweet museum with incredible imagination. The charming candies and the bright colours absorb children and even adults in it, so many people regard it as the "Sweet Heaven"

An upmarket candy store in California is called the Tiffany in the candy world, not only because of the delicate and bright blue packing boxes, but also their sweets can heal the Tiffany can do.
The founder of the Sugarfine, Rosie O' Neill and Josh Resnick was a pair of ordinary lovers, but everything began to change since their third date, because they went to see the film Charlie And The Chocolate Factory. This creative couple thought: Why there isn't any candy shop just for adults? So they decide to open a sweets factory for adults which consist of jelly drops, licorice sticks, marshmallow and so on.
Then, Sugarfina burst with popularity immediately. Their candies are from all over the world and many of them suit the adults' taste very much, such as champagne gum, espresso coffee taffy, wormwood sugar, pure malt scotch chocolate, etcetera.
When you walk into the store, you will find a dreamlike feeling of being in a Tiffany candy zone. The whole shop is in a white country style, and seeing the colourful chocolate and panocha in crystal boxes together with a touch of Tiffany blue, you just don't want to leave this place.

K:⑤Happy Pills
It's obviously known to us that when we have a headache, we need to take anodyne, while hypnagogue is needed when we find it hard to fall asleep. But what should we take when feeling upset? A candy store may give you the answer.
A small shop named Happy Pills is caught in a small gap on a busy street in Barcelona. They use a red cross as the logo to tell the world that they are selling pills to make people happy. As a matter of fact, it's a candy store and all kinds of sweets are jammed into glass bottles that make them look as if they are ordinary medicine. Exactly, as is verified by scientists that sweet food can cheer up those who are dejected or down. So just like it's name, it is a kind of happy pills. There is no doctor, nurse or even shop assistant in the shop so that you can buy what you want freely and "Cure it yourself".
So, would you like a pill that can make you happy?
