Coconut Grove is about to get a serious sugar rush. ScandyCandy, the Swedish pick-and-mix candy shop that sent Coral Gables into a sweets-fueled frenzy last year, is opening a second Miami-area storefront on Commodore Plaza. The new location will celebrate its grand opening on Saturday, May 9, at 2 p.m., and the owners are dangling a very specific carrot: the first 20 customers through the door get $30 in store credit. The Grove shop will feature the same candy-by-weight setup and towering self-serve wall that turned its Miracle Mile sibling into a local sensation.
Grand Opening In The Grove
The new ScandyCandy outpost is set to debut at 3119 Commodore Plz. in Coconut Grove, mirroring the Coral Gables store’s scoop-your-own layout and bright, social-media-ready displays. Those first 20 customers scoring $30 in store credit are part of the opening-day promotion reported by the Miami New Times. The owners have also hinted at extra surprises on their social channels, so expect a crowd that is equal parts candy fans, families and people chasing a very sweet deal.
The Pick-And-Mix Draw
Inside, the Grove shop will focus on imported Swedish brands and a wall of open bins where customers can build their own mixes and pay by weight. It is the same format that helped the Miracle Mile location blow up almost overnight. According to the company’s FAQ, many of the candies skip artificial dyes and high-fructose corn syrup, a detail that has resonated with shoppers looking for a slightly cleaner treat without sacrificing the sugar high. Expect the usual suspects for Swedish candy lovers, including sharp sours and offbeat shapes like fizzy skulls and tutti-frutti rombs, all ready to be scooped by the pound.
How The Coral Gables Shop Became A Sensation
ScandyCandy’s first brick-and-mortar store opened on Miracle Mile in Coral Gables in August 2025 and promptly got wiped out. The shop sold through much of its opening inventory so quickly that it briefly shut down to restock, caught off guard by demand. Local coverage captured the lines, the viral social media buzz and the way reopening turned into a second wave of free publicity for the brand, according to the Miami Herald. That early sell-out is a big reason the Coconut Grove debut is being treated more like an event than a quiet soft launch.
Why Miami Is Hooked
Nationally, the American obsession with Swedish pick-and-mix candy has been building for a while, boosted by short-form video, haul content and endless close-ups of scoops hitting bins. That backdrop made Miami ripe for a dedicated shop built around the lördagsgodis, or Saturday-candy, ritual. After the Miracle Mile opening, local outlets tracked how viral posts and word of mouth pushed ScandyCandy beyond a niche import store. Neighborhood reporting credits a mix of nostalgia, bracing sour flavors and marketing around cleaner ingredients for expanding its audience beyond Swedish expats, according to The Burn Miami. The Coconut Grove location gives Miami another, more neighborhood-scale spot to see if the trend has staying power.
Practical Details
ScandyCandy started online before moving into physical storefronts, and the brothers behind the brand say the Miami shops are meant to recreate the Swedish weekend-candy tradition they grew up with.

If the Coconut Grove rollout looks anything like Coral Gables, early visitors should be ready for a rush of candy hunters and a real possibility of limited inventory in the first days.
