It’s fluro-white and smack in the middle of China Town, but there’s something about Candy Cube that recalls the childhood dash down to the local Milk Bar for a 50c bag of mixed lollies (and the occasional Big Boss).
It could be all the candy. The juicy assortment of fruit salad, sour colas, raspberries, milk bottles and fizzers mean that here eyes are frequently bigger than stomachs. Surprisingly the Cube also has a loyalty system, so you can reward your sugar headache with more sugar.
At $1.95 for 100 grams, Candy Cube is 5c more expensive than the store two doors down, but you don’t have to brave the scent of fermented fish to get your plastic bag’s worth.
