🍬 What is Sour Bites

Sour Bites is a Québec dessert/candy brand that's gone viral on TikTok. They started mostly via online / Laval, but now have a location on 2185 Rue Crescent, Montréal. ?

They specialize in:
• fruits enrobés de bonbon (candied fruits) ?
• Tanghulus (fruit skewers with sugar crunch) ?
• Chocolat Dubaï (a chocolate bar with pistachio & kunafeh) ?
• Verrines, cheesecakes, tasses (dessert cups), etc. Lots of variety. ?

👍 What's Good
• Visually impressive / Instagram-worthy. The presentation is colourful, the sweets look beautiful. Great for that'wow' factor. ?
• Variety. If you like sweets, candy, fruit combos, there are many options: fruit + candy, verrines, chocolate bars, etc. You can pick what level of sweetness / fancy you want. ?
• Locations & hours. They're open late (especially on weekends), which is a plus if you want dessert after dinner or late nights out. ?
• The novelty / local trend. There's something fun about trying a dessert place that's trending online, with flavours & concepts people are buzzing about. Sour Bites has tapped that well. ?

?

👎 What Could Be Better / What to Be Aware Of
• Pricing is steep. These are treats, not cheap snacks. Some items like chocolate bars or boxed sweets go for $12.99 to $27.99 CAD. ?
• Overhype vs reality. Some customers might feel that the'social media glow' oversells a bit: while delicious, not every item is mind-blowing. If your expectations are sky high (because of TikTok), you might find some items more novelty than'best dessert ever.'
• Salmonella/recall concern. There is a recall posted by MAPAQ:'Chocolat Dubaï from Sour Bites in Montréal' was linked to a salmonella outbreak. If you have bought that product (between specific dates: April-7 to Sept-5, 2025) you are advised to discard it. ?
• Lines / availability. Because of its popularity, some flavours or products might sell out. Might need patience or to come earlier. ?

⭐ Overall Rating & Verdict

I'd give Sour Bites approx 4.0-4.5 / 5. It's fun, indulgent & a treat place done well, especially if you love sweet / candy-fruit combos. But it's not without its drawbacks: cost, occasional overpromise, & the recall is something serious to watch.

If you're in Montréal & crave something sweet, novel, & shareable (Instagram + taste), Sour Bites is absolutely worth trying once. Just go in knowing it's more dessert entertainment than everyday snack.

Amazing Experience & The Best Chocolate Bars!

I recently ordered from Sour Bites Montreal, & I couldn't be happier! Their selection of sour candies is incredible, & every bite was packed with the perfect balance of tangy & sweet. The quality is top-notch, & you can tell they really put care into their products. PS the chocolate bars are HUGEEEE!

If you're a sour candy or chocolate lover, this is THE place to order from. I'll definitely be coming back for more. Highly recommend!

Please come to Ottawa soon!
