tuckshop

Campus candy counter

A tuckshop is a small store selling snacks, candy, and light refreshments, typically found in schools or other institutions.

The term is primarily British, Australian, and South African: I bought a meat pie at the tuckshop during lunch break.

Tuck is an old informal word for food, especially sweets.
