Discover rare confections and local sweets today!
At Sweets and Treats of Iowa City, we’ve been on a delicious mission since 1983: to bring the world’s most extraordinary candies and chocolates right to downtown Iowa City.
Step inside and you’ll find treasures you simply won’t see anywhere else in the Midwest — sparkling Japanese KitKats in flavors like cheesecake and sweet potato, creamy Belgian pralines, spicy Mexican chocolate discs, hand-painted truffles from small French chocolatiers, old-fashioned British boiled sweets, Scandinavian salty licorice, and rare gummies flown in from Germany and Turkey. We hunt the globe so every visit feels like a sweet adventure, even if you never leave Johnson County.
But we never forget where we are. Alongside the exotic finds, you’ll still discover the nostalgic classics that have kept generations of Hawkeyes coming back: house-made fudge poured fresh daily, giant rainbow lollipops, wax bottles filled with liquid sugar, satin-wrapped gift boxes, and candy cigarettes (because some traditions deserve to live forever).
Whether you’re hunting the perfect unique gift, restocking your childhood favorites, or just treating yourself after a long week, we’re here to make every moment a little sweeter — and a lot more interesting.
Come explore the world, one candy at a time. Sweets and Treats — Iowa City’s passport to extraordinary sweetness since 1983!
