LEGO® Friends Heartlake City Sweet Shop - 42649 - New release January 2025 - Brick Banter review

A shop for a LEGO Friends sweet tooth!

LEGO Friends continues for another year, and we’ve been slated with the whole first wave of 2025. Taking a look into the Heartlake City Sweet Shop, how does Friends hold up for 2025’s first wave?

Candy Store

The LEGO Friends Heartlake City Candy Store is one of the lower price entry points to Friends 2025, but sure does make an impact. Like a Willy Wonka shop, there are faces on candies everywhere and plenty of fun tidbits.

First off, there is a whole section dedicated to scooping lollies, a satisfying real life endeavour. There is also crystal candies, sugary drinks, candy mascots and candy making (with viewing window!). This is a fun addition in my opinion, as we see many candy making videos online, and we can do it here. There’s an oven, pot to boil in, and a grey (implied metal) benchtop to pour onto. Love this.

I love the lolly mascots, including the Gubble Bubble face on the stand. There is a lot of questions as to whether there are people inside of these things or not, as I have lots of questions about their legs. Either way – love them. Oh, and that new recoloured Izzie hair from Dreamzzz is a win!

Verdict

This is a set that surprisingly surprised me! It wasn’t until I dived into the smaller details that I came to really enjoy this set, and I love the lolly making station. Very very good set!
