Slodycze Wedel

Came in because I had some family visiting from out of town and we wanted to do something unique. This store has a great selection of polish candies and a very friendly and helpful staff. My favorites were the coconut crème and nougat honey truffles. Best part is, they will let you try anything before you buy it!

Great shop where Polish was spoken at me as I entered, then when they realized I didn’t comprehend they laughed and eventually spoke English at checkout. Massive $ 5 dark chocolate bar over the fruity lizaki deseniowe, or patterned lollipops, which cost just 30 cents each. Will be back for the liquor-​filled candies.

This place has been here forever. I remember coming here all the way from
New Jersey to pick out my favorite candy for Easter. This quaint candy shoppe really takes you way back to the good olé days in Poland. I’ve been eating all these sweets since I was little! My favorites are: prince polo (wafers covered in chocolate), sliwka (plums covered in dark chocolate) and torcik (big wager torte covered in dark chocolate).
It’s cash only but everything is super cheap! Go check it out after a yummy polish dinner :)

Not my usual candy choice. I got them as a gift and all I can say is yum sometimes it’s fun to try something different!

This candy store would be the kind of store Willy Wonka would have if he was Polish. That is the best way I could describe this place.
We were driving by and almost missed it because at night there is no lighted sign.
The lights were dim so I thought they were closed but nope, the door opened up and in the room I went like in the scene in Willy Wonka the Chocolate Factory movie, the awesome Gene Wilder version not the awful Johnny Depp version! I was aah-​ing and ouuu-​ing at everything.
Almost everything was not labeled in English but the staff is super nice and can help if you have questions. I have to say they were pretty patient with me.
It was fun in this store trying to figure out things and seeing unfamiliar candies. We ended up with a bagful of candy, YUM!

I have a few problems with what the sell. Mainly in the summer, the chocolates are always messed up and melted in the box. Year round the chocolate just taste old like its been seating for too long.

Being absent from Greenpoint and Williamsburg for a while, I was finally able to take a trip just to see if my favorite Greenpoint candy store was opened. As the bus passed by, the shades were drawn and it didn’t look like it was opened. It looked more like it was closed for good. I was shocked and disappointed but when we finally got off the bus and ventured over, to my surprise Slodycze Wedel wasn’t close and inside it was still as I remembered it. Yeah!!! Candy boxes filled with chocolates on shelves and mounds of self-​serve candies on the counter. There are also cookies and lollipops, chocolate bars and other sweet treats stashed all in this wonderful Polish candy store. Don’t ask me to pronounce the name for you, I couldn’t even begin to try. Just know you’ll be getting a treat when you step in.
The shades were drawn to protect the chocolates and candies from the sunlight and heat. The store also has tinted brown glass windows. I cannot for the most part read what is on the packaging. I try to find English whenever possible, but if I can’t, then I look for any identifying pictures that gives me a hint of what flavors I might be getting.
I used to get the Prince Polo bars here. It is a chocolate covered wafer and one version has hazelnut. Oh hurt me! But now since I can find those in my hood, I go for those items I can’t get but here at Slodycze Wedel. During the holidays, they have giant, very decorative boxes of gift chocolates, but when it is regular season, there are still a substantial amount of candies here to satisfy those with a sweet tooth.
I spied Milka brand chocolates here as well as cookies and picked up a package of Milka chocolate chip cookies with raisins. This cookie was delicious. The raisins added a nice, different touch to the chocolate chip cookies. It made the cookie richer and it blended well with the chocolate chips.
They also have candies by the pound, and you can grab a bag and fill up. Candies vary in prices here. Another candy package which I couldn’t read had Zozole Musss on it. Inside the candies are cherry and green apple and inside the hard candy there is a fizzy liquid. It was quiet good and only $ 1.29 for bag. Workers here are nice and pleasant.
If you want to satisfy your sweet tooth and are wandering Greenpoint, Brooklyn make sure you stop off at Slodycze Wedel.

This candy store is amazing! Don’t worry if you can’t read Polish because (A) everything tastes good and (B) the people working there will tell you what everything means and they’re super friendly.
If you like chocolate, this is a must-​visit. My favorite are the coconut-​filled truffles in the blue and white wrappers. The fun, colorful wrappers on all the candy make it a great place to shop for gifts, too. I’ve brought boxes or bags of the various European chocolates to friends/​family as Christmas presents on more than one occasion and they have always been well received.
It’s cash only but everything is really inexpensive.

I love candy stores. The way to Vivian’s heart is to take her to Willy Wonka’s Chocolate Factory! But if you can’t quite snag one of those Golden tickets, she’ll still gladly accompany you here.
My eyes lit up as soon as I stepped into this store. I missed it the first time around, because they had their blinds down. It is almost like they don’t want you to come in, but, you can’t hide candy from me!
They have mounds and mounds of candy lining the counter. And if you love chocolate, you are in heaven.
The only problem is that NOTHING is labeled in ENGLISH. So, I was fumbling around trying to guess what things were. I was able to make out some candies that were made with Marzipan, truffles with almonds, hazelnuts, pistachios, fruits, etc. They also have lots of already made gift baskets (I went close to Easter).
I bought some loose candy and enjoyed it while strolling around Greenpoint.
A true wondrous delight! The kid in you will love this place!

Every time I walk past Slodycze Wedel I am reminded of my childhood. Growing up in a Polish household I have grown to prefer Milka and Wedel instead of Hersheys or whatever else the American market has.
This store always had displays of candy that intrigued me and made me want to try more. I remember going here around the holidays for the themed candy boxes that made wonderful gifts. And this is probably the first place I ever got a Kinder Surprise. Oh how I miss those days…
But in recent days the prices have gone up to meet the current economy’s demand and the store never seemed as packed as it used to be. I wonder if they are in Maspeth or somewhere in Queens. Its a sign that Greenpoint is less a Polish community and more a community that offers exotic flavors to the new population.
I for one enjoy the chocolates offered here but I do have my insider tips that I unfortunately cannot share.

Not a fan of Polish candy. Plums covered in chocolate. Yuk. Everything looks super pretty. The packaging is fancy but the chocolates are very ethnic in flavor.

We randomly found this place as were venturing around Greenpoint. This is a Polish candy store and everything is absolutely Polish! Who knew Polish people had so many variety of chocolates!
There’s sooo much candy I didn’t know what to choose, but I got things I love like amaretto, marzipan and tiramisu! The girl that rang us up was do delicate with everything I just wanted to say THROW IT IN THE BAG! But I’m sure that’s part of the nice Polish ways?! :) She was also so sweet and was telling her favorite Polish restaurant. I told her I would come back to her if it wasn’t good! And she’s like OOO PLEASE DO!
Anyways the chocolate is absolutely DERRICIOUS!!!
Each bite is like bliss! I honestly think you need one of those pieces and you are good to go! So get the individual pieces they have in the baskets I think they taste better then the ones in a bag/​bar.

The reason I was a chubster when I was young is because of this store.
Delicious Polish candy from chocolate wafers, to lollipops, to chocolate by the pound, to beautiful gift boxes of chocolate. The store itself is cozy and cute, baskets of candy everywhere, and the ladies working here are very helpful and nice.
If you’re looking to sample a little bit of all the shiny wrapped chocolates, get the Mieszanka Wedlowska.
As for gift boxes, they have a red tin heart one with a variety of milk chocolates in it (all bf’s in past have been required to get this for me on Vday). There’s also a silver Chopin tin gift box of chocolates. I mean, the box itself is even gorgeous and the chocolates look good and taste soo yummmy.
I can go on and on, I have a chocolate obsession with this place, but if you love chocolate, you should def check it out. :)

wow, there should be a warning sign for people like me, my eyes nearly POPPED from sheer excitement!
i second, the marcepan /​marzipan is delicious!
there seemed to be two sorts of marcepan, both individually wrapped — the dark chocolate coated one is wrapped in dark brown/​bronze foil, and the sweeter coated variety is in a cream-​colored, double end twist wrapper. Alas, there’s no plain marzipan, would have loved to try the polish variety, but the ladies said everything in the store contained chocolate… not exactly complaining… but fyi.
will definitely return for more goodies soon!

If I was a kid, I would’ve pooped myself with happiness when I walked in here.
Excuse my vulgarity, but it’s the truth.
I don’t even LIKE candy, but then again, I didn’t realize such delicious colorfulness was possible. This place is overwhelmingly beautiful; it’s an entire room full of every type of truffle wrapped in every single color of shiny wrapper possible.
Even if they didn’t taste amazing, I could STILL just hang out and be perfectly content gazing around in wonderment. And it would STILL be the best candy shop ever.
Well, maybe not if the truffles didn’t taste amazing. But they do.

I’ve had candy from here 2 times before as a teen. They have rum and vodka infused chocolates that are so good you just want to go after the whole box. Ladies and chocolate lovers beware! f-.-f
But seriously try some, their white cow candies (I think that’s what they are called) they are like a creamy taffy, so awesome.
I would like to go back one day, but some places in Brooklyn are so densely populated you cant find parking to pick up a nice treat when you are in the area. Taking the train is best!

«Trick or treat»…
Slodycze means sweets in Polish and Wedel is a Polish confectionery company opened 150yr ago and considered as the «Polish national brand» in candy market; and so, «Sweets Wedel» is open in Greenpoint, Brooklyn. Mideast and East Europe Chocolates and sweets are considered some of the best. Polish are not as popular as Swiss (Lindt), German or Austrian brands but it doesn’t mean that they are not as good. I have never get disappointed when I tried it before back in Spain. Slodycze wedel is not limited to Wedel, they also offer assorted sweets from another Polish brands including Solidarnost, Mieszko or koperdik. Ok, names doesn’t mean anything for me as well; I just know that are Polish and that quality wise is the same.
I love the chocolates and the combination with different nuts, fruit flavors or liquors. That one with Vodka is the stronger sweetest shoot I could ever drink. Be care and eat it in one bite. The coconut and the pistachio are delicious. To be honest any nut reach perfection for me. But I mostly love the marcepan (Marzipan), a sugar and almond meal sweet produced also in Spain and Germany. There is individually packed sweets of marcepan as well. The main part of the store consist in a large bench with baskets filled with chocolates and organized depending of the kind. You can grab the ones that you like and make your own mix. And its just $ 7.99 per lb. There is also chocolate boxes and other sweets bags in the side tables. I got 2 bags of one of my favorite sweets named in general Dominosteine, a German delight of layered gingerbread, jam, and marzipan enclosed in a chocolate shell, with a flavor close to marzipan but less sweet and traces of Ginger. My co-​workers loved it. There is also other spicy pastry dough cookies like spicy gingerbread. In betw, those are sweets consumed during Christmas time. perfect. Just realized that I have so many favorite things in here. Thankfully, is pretty far away.
So… Treat, definitely.
Remember is cash only (Chase is close enough, tho) and be care (or not?) of the bars along the line to the cashier. I wasn’t… but you know what? the piece of orange and chili dark chocolate form Cocoacara that I enjoyed last night before I fell sleep made me have nothing but the sweetest dreams.

This store is always Christmas all year long. You walk in and lost instantly in la-​la-​land because you know that you are in a chocolate store but it is all written in polish so your knowledge on what’s what is the same as 5 years old’s brain and taste buds.
I am not into themed boxes of chocolates. This place is where you can grab a chocolate bargain by the pound. Packed with endless coffee bean bags of truffles — many many — I would say at least 50 bags. You grab some of these and some of that, but there are still more to pick. THE DEAL — $ 7/​lbs of (please control yourself) mix.
My definite favorite is coconut truffle — it has coconut picture in blue/​silver wrapping. If you have enough of liquorish ones, you will get drunk. So parental discretion is advised.
I get several pounds for Christmas gifts for my neighbors, around the block kids or someone you would like to give some-​thing or some occasional treats (?!). Good for Halloweens, too. Most of all, these truffles are already individually wrapped in shinny and pretty wrappers, potentially assumed for Christmas and Holiday spirits. So only thing you need to do is eat some and Give!

This is the place for authentic Polish candy. Think Willy Wonka Polish style. My Polish friend who lives nearby brought me here as a tour of her favorite Polish spots. They have all different type of Wedel and non-​Wedel goodies I’ve never seen before and although I prefer eating salty savory snacks over sweets, I can appreciate the occasional sweet treat.

Lovers of European chocolate need to make a trip here asap.
This little corner candy shop off of Manhattan Ave and Meserole Ave has some great treats that are rarely found outside this neighborhood or the NY area.
When my wife’s parents go to Poland, they usually bring back a giant bag full of chocolates. Now most of them are at this location, so we can have them all the time. One of my favorite brands is the Prince Polo. It is a wafer (which is extremely popular with the Poles) covered in chocolate.
Go here… it is a definite must do when in Greenpoint.
