On a walk through New York last week, I stumbled upon Papabubble, an intriguing candy shop based in Barcelona with an outpost in Manhattan.
The shop is truly a candy paradise. Not only do you get to watch candy in-the-making, but you can also sample several different flavors, such as caramel filled apple, soda, fruit mix, and their current Easter mix. They even have candy molded into enormous lollipop rings.
Here, all the candy is made in the store before your eyes. Papabubble handcrafts their unique candy from sugar and natural essential oils, such as oil of clove.
Papabubble makes custom-made candies molded into specific shapes and with written statements or designs. While I was there, they were making "It's a Boy!" candy for a woman who had just given birth. Their turnaround for bespoke candy is about two weeks.
It's no wonder why Gadling got excited about the opening of Papabubble's New York store. It's located in between the Lower East Side, Little Italy, and SoHo on Broome Street between Mott and Mulberry.
