Dietary & Ingredients
Q: Is international candy vegan-friendly?

Q: Are there gluten-free international candy options?
A: Several international candy lines are naturally gluten-free. BUBS Swedish candy is both vegan and gluten-free.
Q: What makes imported candy taste different from American candy?
A: European candy regulations require stricter ingredient standards, which often means fewer artificial colors and flavors.

Each country brings its own confectionery traditions.
Q: Does international candy contain common allergens?

Candycopia opened in June 2022 when Patrick and Alycia Mason brought their vision of a discovery-driven candy store to Oak Park’s Hemingway District. Inspired by old-fashioned candy shops on Cape Cod, the Masons built a space where 100+ apothecary jars line the gummy bar, small-batch makers from across the country share shelf space with Swedish imports, and every visit feels like an experience — not just a transaction.
