Three stories of tourist haven for M&Ms and all things M&Ms, from shirts and mugs and plates to toys and of course walls of colored M&Ms.
Incidentally, the Premium M&M's also melt in your hand along with your mouth.
Prices are a bit spendy, but I found a very cool Indiana Jones and the Chocolate Crusade shirt, as well as a great beer stein!
If you're a tourist from the boonies you'll luv it, however, I am a NY'er and it's stores like this that I totally hate ( and I have a sweet tooth ).
What do you need with 3 floors of crap unless you're selling horse manure?
Even when I'm in the mood for a " specialty item " like an Almond M&M or the Peanut Butter variety, the store only has it like 30% of the time - what's up with that?!?
Lot's & Lot's of M&M Chocolate
I felt like a Charlie Bucket who won Golden Ticket
to Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory :)
this place is so cute! you can find anything and everything m&m here. there are chocolates in every color you can imagine. i got a pack of those new premium m&m's and they were so good. pricey but good. even if you don't get anything its still worth checking out.
This place is weird..Mostly I prefer skittles over M & M's anyway, but if you've never been in this store, you should go once just to say you went.
To be honest, the first time I wandered in here, it was only because they were blasting AC and it was about a million degrees outside. They sell all things M & M...but for some reason I can't help but feel like I'm inside a tourist shop at Disney. Weird...
3.5 stars....If you're an M&M's collector (like my mother) or just like M&M stuff you would have a field day in here, it's 3 floors of everything M&M imaginable. If you just like M&Ms the candy and want to stop by to get some you'll pay more here than anywhere else, it's really quite overpriced. It's cool having all the M&Ms divided by color and type with the fill your own bag system but at $10/lb they mind as well be gold. All in all though M&M's world store is a true NYC over indulgence experience and a good excuse to check out Times Sq if you've never been. If you live around here, expect a lot of tourists but it's still a one of a kind store to check out if you're in the market for M&M memorabilia.
Very nice place to stop by and check out. There is a huge variety of colors that I did not know existed.
You can buy all the novelty and of course M&M candies. You get to mix and match whatever colors you want at $18 a pound.
Wow ! What a gimmick , I can't believe people actually need and want a variety of M and M items ... Really ? Really? Stuff is way overpriced and
even the colored m and ms which I would consider to buy in my favorite color are cheaper at the Fuzziwhigs at the mall.... Go figure..
Crowded , overpriced but if you are a M & M fan I guess its your nirvana...
Well. I'm a native Nyer and I think this place is fun and cute, Kind of pointless, they have some M&M art exhibition upstairs which is cool. I wound up buying an M&M Pen and also a Yellow M& M liitle man with the legs pillow. :)
I don't care if it's a tourist trap or that everything is super expensive. It's M&M world and you're just a part of it. ;)
(I bought a cup)
Did I just enter a tourist trap?! OH, YES I DID!!!
Just because I'm a local don't mean I can't enjoy the cities finest traps. This store is 3 floors worth of M&M novelties galore! I only came to this spot looking for limited edition M&M's that I been searching the whole metropolitan area for! Unfortunately, you will have to pay an arm & a leg for M&M's here - they are mostly sold by the lb, $12.99 a lb, that is :/ A price to pay when you are craving chocolate. I never seen so many different color M&M's in my life aligned in tubes along the 2nd floor wall. It was definitely, "eye-candy" - no pun intended!
I have never actually met someone that didn't like an M&M... never...
I went to this MM World because I love chocolate, it is right across the street from Hershey paradise, and the free samples of Dale and Thomas Popcorn. I have also been to MM World in Vegas, which is why I only gave this one 4 stars - the Vegas one is way cooler and worth taking 5 minutes away from your drunken gambling to go visit...
I love the MM statues all over, M&Ms as cowboys, as students and teachers, and of course as the sexy Green Statue of Liberty... The best part of this store is all of the different colors of M&Ms.. I can't tell you how many times I have used this in baking and what not... brilliant... But even if you don't buy anything, the M&M's that have come out of the plastic tube are laying their asking to be eaten... ahhh here is to free M&Ms... I still feel like I am stealing though, but everyone else is doing it... and no, I wouldn't jump off a bridge if everyone else does... grrrr.....
So free M&Ms what could make you not give this place 5 stars?
The staff... unfriendly, hello you're working with chocolate can you pretend to like your job at least and be excited when I ask you to take the lamest picture ever? Oh and when I ask you for a white chocolate M&M, don't tell me to try to CVS... Really??????
This place is amazing. The sheer sensory overload inside is overwhelming, to the point where you have to let yourself get lost in all the colors, glitz and insanity otherwise you'll go mad. M&M's world doesn't just have candy, in fact, I dare say candy is in the minority of things you can get here. What can you get here? Pillows, shirts, mugs (oh god, SO many mugs), M&M Monopoly, playing cards, forks, purses (made from M&M wrappers) and so, so much more!
The store is divided into three levels. The first mostly made up of apparel and candy, the second has some of the aforementioned games as well as items like golf club covers (seriously). The third floor has a bunch of housewares including plates, cups and cutlery sets. You can also purchase colors of M&M's you won't find on your average deli shelf and even make your own color mixtures (at $11.99 a pound).
I know it's a tourist trap, but this is really a fun and cute place to visit.
I was on the hunt. I will not be distracted by the unimportant things, such as the large group of Mormons in Times Square. I will not be thwarted by a young man selling comedy tickets. I am on a quest to find MY perfect M&M. It seems so simple, dark chocolate, peanut, candy coating... if I could purchase only the green ones life would be complete. But do they have such a thing? Is this a case of my overactive imagination at work setting me up for disappointment?
Upon entering this world of M&M's we were greeted by a giant M&M in a disco suit and the sweet, wonderful smell of candy coated goodness. And I didn't have to look far to find the M&M of my dreams... it was there, awaiting my arrival. Oh how much simpler life would be if the same could be said about... well, everything else in life.
This place is such a tourist trap. You need to fully understand that it's mobbed with tourists. With that being said, I have been an M&M Connoisseur for many, many years and when I visited M&M World in Vegas, I prayed that an M&M World would open in NYC. Lo and behold, here it is in all of its sweet grandeur.
I LOVE THIS PLACE. I am a local resident and I acted like a complete tourist douchebag when I came here. I took pictures lovingly caressing the M&M dressed in Elvis and did other things which I shall not mention in this review. Needless to say, I raided the M&M's of all colors and tasted as many as I effin wanted. AND I DARED the staff to stop me!! I could not be curtailed. I walked around in a daze, wanted to purchase each and every souvenir and ate so many fresh peanut M&M's that I got sick after.
This place ROCKS. I don't care if it's a tourist trap. If you're an M&M freak like me, YOU MUST come here. This is OUR mecca. This is our home. This is our sanctuary. You need to come here before you die. It will give meaning to your life.
Where do i pick up the paint...
Ok 3 levels of MM - UM OK
Each color has there own TUBE - ok
You can get a bag and pour your fav colors of MM in it - OK
then for that one bag you can $$$$ - WTF same choclate as a regular deli MM bag for 1.50$ buy 20 bags and store them at home by color.
I'm sorry but those MM color tubes make me thing of the paint chip stationo at like Home depot or something and the colors are not that great....
O wait lets mix some colors in some tubes - maybe charge more?
Another one of those tourist places where everything has time square on it... the amount of tourists it does not end....
Just go to the deli and get some cholate and call it a day...
MM
Awww, my initials, not to mention one of my favorite candy of all time. In addition, I have to confess that the addition of the Peanut M&M finds their way into my hiking snack bags all the time.
One of the main reasons why we rushed in here was because my friend was hitting every single tourist joint in the world while I was attempting to take in NY without looking like a tourist. But who am I kidding. We were right in the middle of Times Square. But good to know that there were restrooms located here (hint hint)
This establishment takes the M&M character/candy/world to a whole new level. Actually, make that three levels of candy influenced fun and caricature. The reps were helpful and let us take our silly pictures and another star for the large Jenna Jamison movie poster just right outside the candy store. PG-13.
Wow! An overwhelming amount of M&M's. So many fun color combinations, like Yankees and Mets colors. They have some fun stuff in here, a bunch of cute collectibles and stuffed animals, but $12.99/lb for M&M's?! Plenty tourist are drawn here as well. You better LOVE M&M's before entering, or your just going to be crowded and disappointed by the prices.
I believe people can give M & M's World a rating in one of two extremes: either really good, or really bad.
I, in being able to relate with their "melt in your mouth, not in your hands" slogan of a few years back, am going with the former.
They should call this place: M & M & M & M & M & M's World, because anything and EVERYTHING you can imagine you'd want to have "M & M" on is here. Also like me, World is fun, irreverent, and doesn't take itself too seriously. Okay, not really true--I take myself very, very seriously. Seriously.
Go at least once, and you can at least take lots of fun pictures (both inside and outside towards Times Square). No one's following you around or pressuring you to buy anything.
Tip that will earn me the "Useful" flag = go late at night, an hour before when they're about to close, and you'll be rewarded with unfettered access to the wall-to-sugar-coma-inducing-wall of M & M dispensers:

There is a plethora of M&Ms in different colors and flavors. At three levels, M&M's World competes against Dylan's Candy Bar in square feet but of course not in variety. M&M's World has more variety in products like shirts, mugs, towels, you name it. It's definitely worth the experience but not worth the cost. If I remember correctly, the cost was $13.99 per pound?
One of my favorite spots to hit when I'm in NYC. A lot of cool souvenirs to buy for family and friends. The candy itself is way over priced though but I personally don't mind shedding a few more bucks for it. The only thing bad I can really say is the checkout lines which can be a little overwhelming for just a bag of M & M's. Other than that it's always a great experience to stop by.
I had no desire to go to M & M World but my coworker was looking for a gift for her son. I am a fan of the candy and really got a kick of three floors which includes furniture that has nothing but a theme of M & M's. I was thinking to myself do people really buy M & M furniture? Guess what? They do!!! Is that sad??? I don't know.
Anywho....
The coffee mugs and soup cups were awesome!!! Definitely a place to check out if you are visiting.
I don't understand why a candy requires three floors of crap to celebrate it. Moreover, I don't understand why my family spend an hour browsing this crap and actually spent money here.
I LOVE LOVE this place. Not for the fact that it is in Times square..no no ..
Not for the redic. overpriced times square-ness.
BUT you can literally walk through here with a hand of M&Ms from the machines from the second floor and no one cares at all -_-
FREE CHOCOLATE.
what is better than that?
I really must ask.
In -18 degree windchill the M&M world was like a long-lost best friend. This place has HEAT and for that alone, I give it 4 stars.
The fifth star is for the dancing, yellow M&M mascot with whom I took photos.
This place is like Disneyland for the cold and weary. For reals.
It's literally like a beehive, as another poster said. Three floors of tubes of M&M's, alarm clock M&M's, kitchen gadgets, pillows, you name it, it's got an M&M stamped on it.
It's a cool place to go to once just to look around at stuff but buying anything here would be a waste. Almost $13 for a pound of M&Ms?!?!?!?
It isn't that I think the M & M's World is A-OK. Nor do I think
"Eek! Methinks not" or "Woohoo! As good as it gets!"
No...simply put, this place should not exist. It seems like something placed in a movie about the latest craze, where everyone is freaking out about some brand new product. But M&Ms have been around for a really long time. They're not new and their products have never flew off the shelves.
M&M's World creates this...well, world where everyone is killing each other to get a landline phone with Red and Yellow sleeping next to it. I definitely recommend going in, if only for the serious mind warp.
Oh my god...they are real!
I don't know if it's just because I went in the middle of the Christmas season or what, but M&M's World is pretty much what I'd imagine hell to be like. It was not my idea to go here. There was a line to get in, and I haaaaaate crowds, so already this was looking like a bad idea. Inside, there are countless tourists willing to pay $12/lb for M&M's! $12? Really? Can't you go to the drugstore down the street and get a big bag for $3 or $4?
If you're a huge M&M's fan, they have you covered. Everything from M&M themed beach towels to dog sweaters are here. I've been doing just fine throughout my life without a plethora of M&M's products. After experiencing the crowds that they draw, I think I'd like to keep it that way.
Pretty cool place, but swarming like a beehive. All sorts of M&M paraphernalia and every color candy imaginable. Still, I don't really understand the craze. I mean, they're just overpriced M&M's, right?
I was a tourist when I came here, so the five stars shouldn't be a surprise. For someone like me who likes bright colors, loves chocolate, and gigantic round talking candy, walking into this store is like walking through Disneyworld for a five-year old. That's a bad comparison and I apologize but I had a blast when I walked into here.
Wall-to-wall candy dispensers with all sorts of candy, really cute merchandise. They made for amazing gifts to friends back home and I loved watching their faces light up when they opened what I had to bring them. Plus those huge M&M statue thing-a-ma-bobs in there? GREAT photo op. C'mon. This place is great.
I guess this may be Willy Wonka's garage if trademarks and patents do not exist.
Imagine wall to wall of M & Ms, from peanuts to plain to whatnot specialty they may have there.
It will be a sad world if you're colorblind as this what they baited me to go inside an wander like a little child one winter evening. I would love to buy most of them but slapping myself more than I could, I have no use for them. Yes, they maybe colorful and cute but what's the real use for them?
A great tourist spot and an awesome M&M memorabilia store. ( Cause really, you can order them colorful, even printed candies online).
If only I can make Skittles build a store besides them. I think I would love that battle of the teenie buttony candies.
What's good in the eyes will still be the same once they go in your stomach. (Now I'm talking about the chocolates. They are nothing but food coloring my dear children. American chocolates, sad to say, are not as good as the others. Say, Belgian for some generic reference).
I inherited my chocoholism from my mother. So it's no surprise we ended up here during her visit. It is indeed a world of M&M's. Everywhere you turn.
We didn't purchase any of the insanely overpriced novelty items but there are two things of note.
1) The myriad colors of candy coated melt in your mouth not in your hand chocolates displayed on the second floor is a feast for the eyes but probably not very safe to observe when under the influence of any hallucinogenic.
2) An M&M walks around like the ambassador of this place and poses for photo-ops. Yeah I got a picture with him but at the risk of having my yelp cred diminished I will refrain from posting.
In short, the tourist in you may enjoy the world of M&M but the drug addict in you should probably steer clear.
I love chocolate, but not this much! The novelty of everything inside was kind of neat - chocolate designed pillows, key chains, shirts, ties, ornaments, anything you can think of. The most impressive was the M&M dispensers. It was cool to waltz in and out, but the shopping line was ridiculous!
If you've been to the one in Las Vegas, you'll think this place boring. There wasn't much here. Spinning statues, that was the best, I guess. The M&Ms were a bit pricey but that's what you get in a tourist area. There isn't much to see though...3 floors but not so much to do, only merchandise all around.
A store dedicated to the art of the M&M....im all for it!
3 floors! 3 floors of M&M's people! I made a $15 bag of teal, black and aquamarine peanut m&m's. You want a color that looks like vomit? They have that! What about UTI yellow? Holla! They've got that as well!
Theres a little machine that can tell your mood too. It makes you do funny dances and yells at you if you dont move at all. It reminds me of that photobooth segment on Jay Leno where the lady is watching the people and making fun of everything they do. i want that job!
Theres also a costumed green m&m to take pictures with. Yes, thats right. You can take pictures with the horny m&m. She looks scandalous too.
If youre desperately looking an M&M t-shirt (who isnt?) they have tons to choose from. Even sweet denim jackets. Nothing screams stylish like a man in jean shorts and an M&M denim jacket. Theres also plenty of storage options for your M&M's in case a bag doesnt really do the trick for you. Anything M&M that you want, they have....except flavor. They hate flavor.
Bring the kids. Just watch out for that green lady....she steals innocence.
My one gripe...you would think that with a 3 floor store in times square that you'd have a section for peanut butter or almond m&m's? Any other kind thats not regular and peanut. NOT ONE BAG. Whats up with that?
You see that huge, colorful screen above the store entrance? Aren't those M&M faces cute? Well, you've seen the highlight of this place already at that point, so don't bother walking in...unless you must really see a row of M&Ms on display or must really buy those "M&M" imprinted clothing and goods.
It's a waste of space, if you ask me, to have three floors wholly dedicated to M&Ms in the middle of Times Square. I love the candies, of course, and find it amazing that they never melt in my hands...but walking out empty-handed, I knew I wouldn't be back.
I have never been here, so I can't tell you about the place itself. However, I called up today (from Chicago) looking for 300 lbs. of Holiday M&M's. (You know, the red and green ones.) No, I'm not kidding. First, the woman who answered the phone laughed. Truth be told, I would have done the exact same thing. Then she gave me to Jesus, who is in charge of all that inventory stuff. He was very helpful and made sure that he actually did have 300 lbs. in stock if I did need them.
Sadly, I'm not able to use his store because they were too expensive ($9/lb) for what we wanted them for. If there was any way that I could have used this store, I would have done it. Customer service, though, was top notch.
This isn't just NY exclusive; there are M&M worlds all over the place. This one in particular is over crowded because it's in the dead center of Times Square. Be sure to wait in line for a while to check out.
There are like three to four floors of just about anything you can think of M&M, from T-Shirts to candy to jewelry.
But, it seems over priced because of the amount of people piling in, so they want to swallow your money, as a pound of really cute whatever color you want is like $12 to $13 a pound.
Wow...any color M & M you can possibly get...you can even go to a machine to see which color of M & M you are. Great tourist attraction...sure attracts us.
