Treat Crate Review (2025) – World Snack Box Experience

Ever wondered what snacking is like in Colombia, South Korea, or Ireland? TreatCrate brings the world’s most interesting snacks right to your Australian doorstep, with a monthly subscription box that takes you on a culinary adventure through a different country each time.

Like other popular discovery boxes such as Sakuraco and TokyoTreat, TreatCrate aims to expand your snacking horizons beyond what’s available at local stores.

After experiencing several boxes firsthand over the past few years, I’ve discovered it’s much more than just a snack delivery – it’s a tastebud-expanding journey into global snack culture.

TreatCrate promises 8-10+ authentic imported treats in each box, with the destination remaining a surprise until delivery.

In this hands-on review, I’ll help you decide if this cultural snacking experience is worth your money, especially if you’re an adventurous food lover looking to explore international flavours from home.

Getting Started with TreatCrate

The TreatCrate website is super simple, with their only current offering being the Classic TreatCrate box. This is available at 1, 3, 6 and 12 month subscription timescales.

With the 1 month box, be aware that it will automatically auto-renew. This is super easy to cancel through their website if you need.

For new subscribers, you’ll need to sign up by the last day of each month to receive the following month’s TreatCrate box (e.g., subscribe by April 30th to receive the May box). If you’re new to subscription boxes, check out our guide to discovery boxes to learn more about how they work.

For ongoing subscriptions, billing occurs on the 15th of each month for the next month’s box. Any changes to your subscription (including cancellations or plan changes) must be made before the 15th to avoid being charged for the next cycle.

Additionally, shipping address changes and payments must be finalised by the last day of the month to be eligible for the next month’s crate.

Where do TreatCrate ship to?

Excitingly, TreatCrate ship all across Australia.

Shipping is a flat rate of $9.95 across all areas in Australia. This includes tracking and signature on delivery by default, though you can request authority to leave if preferred.

My TreatCrate Snack Box

In my most recent TreatCrate experience, I received a well-packed box delivered in the first half of the month as promised. The box arrived in good condition and was filled with an exciting selection of international treats.

The box itself was slightly dirty but otherwise generally in good condition. Upon opening it, I found the contents absolutely packed in – TreatCrate really likes to fill their boxes with lots of goodies! You only discover the location of your box after you receive it, so it’s an exciting moment discovering what contents are inside.

For my box, it was themed around snacks from Colombia. 11 different items that included sweets, crisps and drinks felt like a good amount of food to explore. I received:

The snack box also came with an information booklet and menu, both really useful and interesting additions.

The information booklet contained facts about Colombia, famous people and a short quiz about the country. The menu helped guide you by explaining each item and why it’s important to that country.

I think it’s a fair assessment to say these supporting documents aren’t professionally made/printed, but they’re clearly created with love, care and attention. I feel that’s far more important and I enjoyed the more personal touch.

Whilst I can’t profess to be an expert in Colombian snacking, the products were definitely imported from Colombia and felt like an accurate reflection of the snacks that would be available.

I see this as a real positive that TreatCrate deliver on their promise to help you experience different foods from around the world. For example, I think I’d definitely struggle getting lemon-flavored crisps here in Australia!

How much does TreatCrate cost?

TreatCrate comes in at $41/month for the single month recurring subscription (without shipping costs). If you opt for a longer subscription, you receive a small discount down to $37/month for a 12 month commitment.

I really don’t think that’s a big enough incentive to pay over $400 for 12 Snack Boxes and would like to see them make the longer subscriptions more appealing.

Is this worth what you get? That’s a really difficult question. Like most subscription boxes in Australia, the value proposition goes beyond just the cost of the products inside.

One factor that’s really important here is the often crazy import costs associated with these products. They’re really hard to get in Australia! Based on that alone, it’s certainly good value to buy TreatCrate based on the products inside.

To get the most value out of your TreatCrate experience, you’ll need to be adventurous and try everything that arrives.

Gifting TreatCrate

This would be a perfect gift for any adventurous foodies. Treatcrate offer Gift Packages at the same rate as their 3, 6 and 12 month subscriptions.

I love giving food boxes as gifts because the experience lasts much longer than a normal gift, with regular packages arriving for many months after their birthday.

Conclusions

After diving into treats from Colombia and exploring previous boxes from around the world, I can confidently say TreatCrate delivers on its promise of authentic international snacking adventures.

The surprise destination element adds genuine excitement to each delivery, and I’ve particularly enjoyed sharing these discoveries with friends and family. It’s become a monthly social event in my household.

However, this box isn’t for everyone. If you’re a picky eater or have dietary restrictions, the random nature of the selections might leave you with untouched treats.

But for adventurous snackers who love discovering new flavours and learning about different food cultures, TreatCrate offers excellent value. It’s more than just snacks in a box – it’s a monthly ticket to explore the world through its most beloved treats.
