You can order Swedish candy online from anywhere, but there's something special about walking into a store and picking out your own bag. Here's where to find authentic Swedish candy in physical stores across the US — from dedicated Scandinavian shops to IKEA food markets.
The Big Picture
Physical Swedish candy stores are concentrated in three areas: New York City (BonBon, Sockerbit), the coasts (California, Massachusetts), and cities with large Scandinavian-heritage communities (Minneapolis, Seattle, Chicago). Everywhere else, your best bet is IKEA's food market or online ordering.
