Tom's Confectionery Warehouse — Attraction in Brisbane City

We recently had the pleasure of visiting a fantastic confectionery warehouse for a themed surprise birthday party. Our experience was not only unique but also met all our specific needs, which were not available in local stores.

Upon arrival, we were delighted to find that the street signage and outside lighting made it easy to locate the warehouse. The well-lit store allowed us to fully immerse ourselves in the browsing experience, bringing out the inner child in us as we laughed and had fun exploring the aisles and sections. The lighting was well-maintained throughout, allowing us to easily view prices, sizes, and ingredients.

For those seeking specific items, we recommend reaching out to the warehouse directly through a phone call if the website doesn't provide the desired information. We personally had a pleasant conversation with a helpful gentleman who not only assisted us but also provided clear directions.

One of the highlights of this confectionery warehouse is the wide range of products available, including internationally sourced items that are not found in local stores. It's important to note that, like other specialty confectionery stores, prices may be higher. However, with a bit of caution, it is possible to make a satisfying purchase without breaking the bank.

The warm and friendly welcome we received set the tone for our leisurely browsing experience. We were able to take our time and thoroughly enjoy exploring the offerings. The large amount of purchase we made for our party felt reasonably priced, and we left the warehouse excited for the upcoming celebration.

While this warehouse may not be a regular stop for everyday shopping, considering its specialty and focus on special occasions, we definitely plan to return in the future. The availability of ample free onsite parking and the consistently polite and friendly customer service further enhanced our visit.

Opinions may vary, but in our experience, this confectionery warehouse exceeded our expectations in terms of fun, variety, and overall satisfaction. It truly checked all the boxes and made our visit an awesome and...

Tom’s Confectionery Warehouse isn’t just a store - it’s a spectacle, a cathedral of cavities where Brisbane’s sweet-toothed faithful come to worship. An Aladdin’s cave overflowing with everything from humble Cadbury Dairy Milk bars to Japan’s Meiji Chocorooms to boxes of Hostess Twinkies- those indestructible yellow torpedoes of cream and regret. The pick-n-mix section alone could fuel an entire carnival, and the warehouse selection stretches far beyond sweets: imported cereals, jars of Mexican salsa, potato chips in exotic flavors, and tubs of marshmallow fluff - a gooey spread Americans famously pair with peanut butter to make the fluffernutter sandwich, a culinary choice that does a lot to explain the country’s national health crisis.

The warehouse atmosphere is as playful as the products. A towering animatronic Transformer dominates one corner, while a robotic magic tree waves you off at the exit, a quirky send-off after completing a pilgrimage through sugar and salt.

Prices reflect the novelty and uniqueness of what’s on offer: $14.90 for 10 Bertie Beetles, a nostalgic treat once confined to showbags; $11.90 for a 200-gram bag of Herr’s Buffalo Blue Cheese curls, a salty delight rarely found outside the U.S.; and $9.90 for Popin' Cookin' Tanoshii, a Japanese DIY candy kit that’s as much about the process as the end result. But this isn’t about bargains - it’s about surrendering to nostalgia, curiosity, and unapologetic indulgence. You’ll leave with a bag of treasures, a lighter wallet, a sugar buzz, and the distinct feeling your dentist is about...

Tom would be saddened as we were all shocked with the loss of the the warehouse, and high prices yesterday on our visit (with 7people). This place has changed for the worst. Double the price for everything, including the 1.3kg bags of Allen’s lollies. No large popcorn bags either. I have been taking myself, my children and my interstate family here for years and once loved the day out to renew my stash of favourites and grab some bargains at great prices. It looks fancy BUT I agree with others reviews - $$$$ it’s now expensive! The customers are paying for the stores new deck out, and plastic lids on fancy containers for your lollies. A paper bag would be simpler and more environmentally friendly. We once loved the true wearhouse feel this place had, it’s now over for us visiting this place. Many product varieties no longer available and freshness rating reduced as lollies are all stored in those non sealable plastic dispensers. I won’t need to return. I’ve found a “My Lollies” online store it has just like Tom’s original cheap prices & Australian too, it will be my new place to go without the 30min drive and no bridge tolls. The new owners should have moved slowly on the changes and asked the customers if they wanted to take on the $$$ to pay for their up grades along with less lolly and food product options available.
