Sweet Success in the Lion City: Sugarfina's Permanent Singapore Debut with DIY Candy Bento Boxes

If you're a candy enthusiast with a penchant for luxury treats, we've got exciting news that's sure to make your taste buds dance. The beloved Los Angeles-based candy boutique Sugarfina, famous for its gourmet confections and Instagram-worthy packaging, has just made its mark in Singapore with the opening of its first permanent outlet. After a wildly successful pop-up stint that wrapped up in March 2025, the brand has committed to the city-state, opening its doors at Wisma Atria last month. And the star of the show? Customisable DIY candy bento boxes that let you curate your own sugary masterpieces. Let's dive into why this expansion is a game-changer for sweet tooths in Singapore.

A Taste of LA Sunshine in Orchard Road 

Sugarfina isn't your average candy shop—it's a luxury destination for grown-up indulgences. Founded in 2012 by candy connoisseurs Rosie O'Neill and Josh Resnik, the brand started as an online sensation in the U.S., quickly becoming a favourite among celebrities like Reese Witherspoon and Justin Bieber. What sets Sugarfina apart is its commitment to sourcing the world's finest artisanal candies, from boozy-infused gummies to decadent chocolates, all packaged in those signature turquoise Candy Cubes and Bento Boxes that scream sophistication.

The brand's journey to Asia began with stores in Hong Kong and Taiwan, but Singapore marks a pivotal step in its Southeast Asian expansion. The initial pop-up at Wisma Atria, launched in December 2024 and running through March 2025, was a hit, drawing crowds eager for holiday gifting options like champagne-infused bears and festive collections. The overwhelming response, fueled by Singapore's love for premium, shareable treats, prompted the permanent store at Basement 1, #B1-59, 435 Orchard Road. Open daily from 10:30 AM to 9:30 PM, it's conveniently located near Orchard MRT, making it a must-visit for shoppers and families alike.

This new outpost isn't just a retail space; it's a candy haven boasting the world's widest range of Sugarfina treats, over 50 flavours in total. From vegan-friendly options to limited-edition releases, there's something for every palate. And with islandwide delivery available (free on weekdays for orders over $43.60 before GST), you don't even have to leave your couch to experience the magic.

The DIY Candy Bento Box: Your Personal Candy Canvas 

At the heart of Sugarfina's Singapore launch is the customisable DIY candy bento box. A feature that's already turning heads and sparking creativity. Inspired by the brand's iconic Bento Boxes, these allow you to mix and match Candy Cubes (those adorable, reusable lucite containers) to build your perfect assortment. Options range from intimate 2-cube boxes for a quick treat to generous 8-cube versions ideal for gifting or parties.

Here's how it works: Head to the store, browse the colorful displays of gummies, chocolates, and sours, and select your cubes. Each one costs between SGD $12 and SGD $16.50, depending on the flavour, with bento boxes starting at around SGD $5.50 for the base. It's like a build-your-own sundae, but for candies. Perfect for tailoring to dietary preferences (many are vegan or alcohol-free) or themes (think birthday surprises or corporate favours). The result? A beautifully packaged box that's as photogenic as it is delicious, ready to impress at any event.

This hands-on experience aligns perfectly with Singapore's vibrant gifting culture, especially as the holidays approach. Imagine assembling a box with tropical twists for a Deepavali celebration or spooky selections from the current Halloween 2025 collection. Speaking of which...

Must-Try Treats: From Bubbly Bears to Tequila Twists 

Sugarfina's Singapore store shines with its diverse lineup, emphasising quality ingredients and innovative flavours. Bestsellers from the U.S. have crossed the Pacific with flair, and the local selection includes exclusives not found elsewhere. Here are some highlights to add to your DIY bento:

- Champagne Bears: The brand's crown jewel. Gummy bears infused with real Dom Pérignon Vintage Champagne in Brut and Rosé varieties. Dusted in tart sugar crystals, they offer a sophisticated pop of flavour without the alcohol buzz (non-alcoholic versions available). At SGD $16.50 per cube, these are a gifting essential.

- Dark Chocolate Sea Salt Caramels: Creamy, indulgent caramels enrobed in fine dark chocolate with a whisper of sea salt. A rich, adult-oriented treat that's perfect for chocolate lovers. - Heavenly Sours: Star-, moon-, and cloud-shaped gummies in fruity flavours like watermelon and strawberry. Their sweet-tart balance makes them a fun, shareable pick for kids and adults alike.

- Tequila Mandala Collection: A limited-edition collab featuring small-batch tequila blanco in dark chocolate, agave gummy bears, and spicy margarita cubes. For those seeking a bold, boozy-inspired adventure (again, non-alcoholic options exist).

- Seasonal Stars: Right now, the Halloween 2025 lineup steals the show with tropical fruit ghost gummies, Zombie Brains cubes, pink Skeleton Kisses, and tangerine stars. Looking ahead, a Snoopy collaboration drops this Christmas, promising Peanuts-themed sweets that'll delight fans young and old.

With over 50 flavours spanning gummies, chocolates, and more, the store's tasting bar lets you sample before you commit. Ideal for perfecting your bento box creation. Prices are premium but justified by the artisanal sourcing from places like Germany, Italy, and the U.S.
