Sugarfina (CLOSED)

Husband-wife owners Rosie O’Neil and Josh Resnick hatched the idea for this upscale candy chain on their third date—a screening of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. That Sugarfina is a candy boutique for grown-ups is apparent in the pristine white-and-Tiffany blue space. The chain stocks over 150 kinds of candy from the U.S., Greece, Germany, Italy, Sweden, France and beyond, all designed to be compiled into giftable bento boxes. The high-end delicacies include maple bourbon caramels, chocolate-covered almonds designed to look like martini olives, champagne and pale ale gummy bears, and marshmallows garnished with 24-karat gold. But there’s some whimsy to be found among the pricey confections, as well: Try the Fruity Loops, malt ball-like cereal balls covered in milk chocolate and a fruity candy shell. (Sugarfina has a second location at 1837 Union Street, open daily from 11am to 8pm.)
