Dylan's Candy Bar, More Than Just Candy

Shake it up this Summer at Dylan's Candy Bar

By Shannon Trelease, Macaroni Kid Hamptons, NY June 20, 2022

When you are invited for a tour and tasting at Dylan's Candy Bar in East Hampton you think to yourself "dreams really do come true!"    

Dylan's Candy Bar is located on Main Street in East Hampton and is open  May to September, stop in for a sweet treat and shake up your Summer  with their magical milk shakes and one of a kind ice cream!

The ambience begins outside with a beautiful, clean, and inviting store front.

Walking in all of your senses are invigorated with bright eye catching colors,  easily accessible candy bins, and magical store fixtures such as a custom built chocolate drip shelf display .  The music is upbeat and sweets related of course, the store is clean, well organized, and easy to shop.  As we walked in we were greeted by Andrew who gave us a tour and made my two kids and I DELICIOUS milkshakes! Vanilla and Chocolate, the Dylan's Candy Bar Mascots, greeted us as well  



 Interesting facts my kids and I walked away with

  • The candy is separated by a candy story! The store begins with the roots of Dylan's Candy Bar including mascots Vanilla and Chocolate Bunny as well as the "Tackle Box" a box you can buy already filled OR empty and fill yourself with your favorite candy.  The finale is the delicious new milkshake and ice cream bar
  • The signature ice cream flavor is Marshmallow Clouds created by Max and Mina exclusively for Dylan's Candy Bar owner Dylan
  • Their ice cream cart outside their store will be available for folks who would like to grab some ice cream on the go and has mobile pay
  • There is an old fashioned candy section that has candies like soda bottles and wax lips
  • They have an international candy section 

Can we talk about Marshmallow Clouds for a second? This ice cream is a home run! It's soft and pillowey, it tastes like cotton candy and marshmallows had a baby.  I HIGHLY recommend trying this when you stop into Dylan's Candy Bar.  The milkshakes are amazing too! With custom created bold and bright combinations of flavor and toppings, it's sure to ignite your senses.  

Thank you to Dylan's Candy Bar crew that made our experience so wonderful! 

Andrew, Shannon, Erin, and Dylan were all so kind, upbeat, positive, and creative !
