kawaii kandies

Great little candy shop in heart of Old Town Monterey. Very friendly owners. I wasn’t sure which chocolate truffles I wanted so they let me try a couple. So creamy and delicious. Loved it

Great selection of candies and Asian snacks. If you’re looking for a quick inexpensive gift for someone this is a great stop too. I recommended the Brown Sugar Bubble Milk Tea

I LOVE this store! ❤You and your daughter are so beautiful and amazing! best of luck! 🍀

Awesome store with such a cool selection of candy, drinks, plush and chips. The owners are SUPER nice and attentive! I love taking my kids here!

The people working here are so nice and easy to make conversation with. There's a mother and daughter that work here and they're both fantastic!

The shop is cute and even has a little Instagram worthy selfie area.

I can't wait to give these few products a try!

Great place with a good selection to choose from! Candies, drinks, and plushies.

The owner is amazing. Really took the time to help me find THE COOLEST gift for my 11 year old daughter! Ty ❤🌈🙌🏽

They have a very unique and interesting selection of treats, and the owners are very friendly!

Cute selection of imported sweets and some nice bags/backpacks. A quick fix for any sweet tooth

What else needs to be said? Beautiful shop, great selection of candies— both the common and the weird— 10/10 would recommend.

I came to Monterey with my girlfriend to explore this town and Kawaii Kandie’s was one of the things on her list to check out. The first day we came on 10/11/22 there was a Farmers Market event, understandably so, it was closed and there was a sign displaying “closed will return 1:10pm which we thought was odd. We looked up the hours and adjusted our plans to come the next day. The next day 10/12/22 it was also closed with the same sign displaying the same thing. We thought we’d give this place one more chance and to our surprise on 10/13/22 it appears to STILL be closed. It’s frustrating to find a store such as this to be closed for three days in a row and not have the hours of operation updated. If it is temporarily closed, please post a sign saying so! That way we don’t have to waste time trying to come back here.
