Here’s a sweet roundup of 8 fully vegan candy stores plus 8 more that aren’t fully vegan but do offer plenty of plant-based options. Enjoy!
FULLY VEGAN CANDY STORES:
1. Zuckerlwerkstatt
Vienna, Austria
An all-vegan candy shop that makes candy and jelly sweets. You can watch them make the candy on the spot! Enjoy their vegan caramels, lollipops, and chewy sugar candies.

A vegan bakery offering different types of French pastries daily as well as other treats like mixed cookie platters, vegan butterfingers, ginger snaps, chocolate-coated crispy rice balls, cinnamon twists, and halloween-themed treats!
rjlupin says: “I’ve lost weight since I left Bethlehem! These are easily the best vegan baked goods I’ve had, and for a while they were right in my back yard! I still occasionally drive the hour to get to Bethlehem and have a treat. Love them.”
4. Vesweeties
Bedworth, England
A fully vegan sweeties company delivering bags, jars or gift boxes of mixed or sorted, fizzy and non-fizzy pick and mix style sweets, many of which are gluten-free. Partnered with the Eden Reforestation Projects (with every order they plant a tree). This is an online delivery business so are available to place orders any time any day.
ThroughTheLens says: “Amazing sweets and fantastic customer service! I had already had a couple of bags of their sweets and we decided to order a big bulk batch from VeSweeties for our wedding. As we had a few people coming that have Celiac, we opted to just get the ones that are gluten free, but even then the range is huge, they were all super tasty, and everyone at the wedding (regardless of whether they were vegan or not) loved them.“
5. No Whey! Bake Shop

A vegan shop selling baked goods such as vegan candy bars (like twix, m&ms), pumpkin pops, skull pops, sprinkled sugar cookies, Halloween brownie bars, cupcakes & muffins and an assortment of chocolates from its parent store, No Whey!
