Glace Candy, a new candy store by Sasha Zabar, opened on Madison Avenue, connected to his popular hot chocolate and ice cream shop. Inspired by the nostalgic Millionaire Deli candy counter, this new store sells international candies and Zabar's own homemade treats. Customers can mix these sweets into seasonal ice cream flavors using a marble slab. While the luxurious design enhances the experience, Zabar faces supply chain challenges due to tariffs, affecting pricing, yet he has not raised retail prices as of now.
Madison Avenue is about to get a lot more indulgent. The Upper East Side shop that made waves with its luxurious hot chocolate and small-batch ice cream is expanding its sugar-fueled empire.
Inside, guests can fill bags with rotating candies from Sweden, France, Germany, and Japanâmostly sold by weight for $19 a pound.
Zabar's own housemade treats also line the pastel-colored bins, from locally sourced fruit chews and sour gummies to S'mores-inspired marshmallows based on Glace's cult-status hot chocolate.
Zabar's sweet expansion wasn't without its sour notes. Recent tariffs impacted supply chains and pricing on imported goods, and he admits to eating the extra costs-literally.
