Uptown Candy Shop Riverside is a specialty candy store located at 5225 Canyon Crest Dr, Suite 1 in Riverside, California. It is part of the Uptown Candy Shop brand founded in 2023 by a father-daughter team and expanded from its original Downtown Upland location into multiple Inland Empire communities. The Riverside store follows the company’s distinctive mix of traditional candy-shop nostalgia and newer international and social-media-driven products.

The store is especially relevant for customers interested in Swedish candy. Uptown Candy Shop maintains a substantial Swedish category that includes Bubs and other gummies and sour sweets, while its website specifically identifies viral Swedish candy as one of the brand’s signature offerings. For Inland Empire customers who previously had fewer local options for these products, the Riverside branch provides a closer specialty-candy destination.

Dubai chocolate bars and viral TikTok treats form another major part of the store’s positioning. Instead of limiting inventory to standard grocery-store brands, Uptown Candy Shop actively incorporates products that gain traction online, alongside novelty sweets, crystal candy, imported chocolate and international snacks. That strategy gives customers a reason to check new arrivals and social-media updates for restocks and trending items.

For more traditional candy shoppers, the store carries retro and nostalgic sweets, old-fashioned hard candy, salt water taffy, gummies, chocolate, sugar-free candy and bulk selections. The catalogue also includes European products and sweets imported from countries such as the United Kingdom, Germany and Australia, creating a range that crosses multiple candy styles, origins and generations.
