We really enjoyed stopping by here. Who knew there were so many choices in carmels. The shop had a nice ambience and the carmels were delightful. A great treat that we saved for the end of the day.

If you’re looking for quantity, Pärlans is not for you — not unless you’ve got a big fat wallet. But if you’re out for quality, there’s no better place. I find it overpriced personally, but since I don’t eat sweets very often anyway, it’s worth it when you do indulge. Plus, I simply adore the shop! The Pärlans shop is one of the most convincingly vintage in all of Stockholm. You can walk in and enjoy the 1940s music, lounge on the couch, sample a delicious vanilla-and-seasalt toffee, and even peer through the glass panel and watch the toffee being made. The staff have adorable uniforms and 1940s styled hair; the girls frequently have red lips. It’s like stepping through a time warp — a delicious time warp. They are also all very friendly, and you can get your candies gift-wrapped right in front of you and select the colour of ribbon you would like. Pärlans is a great place to get your sweet-toothed friend a little gift. Otherwise it’s worth coming in and just enjoying the atmosphere, and paying 9kr for a single toffee of your own to melt in your mouth. You won’t regret it!

I got a few Pärlans Konfektyr(Pearl Confectionary) vanilla and sea salt caramels as a welcome amenity from the Hotel Skeppsholmen in Stockholm. After scarfing these splendid sweets down I found myself immediately wanting more. As luck would have it, a day or two later — whilst traipsing through Söder — I spotted their eye-catching logo on a shop. Sure enough, it was Pärlans Konfektyr. They both make and sell their delicious confections here(and will let you take a peek at the action if you’re so inclined). Flavours they come in include polka(Swedish peppermint candy), salty licorice, almond, chocolate and cocoa nibs and my favourite: vanilla and sea salt. Vintage style hounds will appreciate the 1940s hair and attire the shop girls sport. I can’t think of a better gift to bring back from Stockholm than a box of caramels from Pärlans Konfektyr.

This little awesome old style candy store is great. They make some great caramels here — handmade with natural flavors. This little store also serves coffee and has a few seats for those who want to enjoy eating the caramels in the store. Otherwise there are very nice boxes that the caramels come in — excellent as a little gift when visiting someone or for someone you feel deserves a little cheering up. Very friendly service adds to the experience. There are a few other places around that sell their caramels(Urban Deli, Cajsa Warg, Café Mezzo, Museum of Modern Art and Rosendals trädgård to mention a few)
