When you walk by Lolli and Pops, the old-timey vibe will sing to you like a siren. Heed the call! There’s candy in there, and it’s good. The store is beautiful and well organized, with a room of gummies in the back, a room of chocolate to the side, and different displays organized by theme. My teen didn’t make it past the Harry Potter display at the front, but there’s a lot to see and sample here. The clerk in the gummy room offered a sample of a jalapeño gummy, and then graciously offered me a tissue when I found it MUCH too spicy. Fun to sample, though! Everything we’ve bought in both their locations has been excellent. I’m familiar with a lot of the chocolate brands from the NW Chocolate Expo, and they have some of the best craft brands(Askinosie, Dandelion). There is also a selection of adorable truffles by the checkout stand.

Nostalgia reins supreme in this shop! You can buy candy in bulk and by the pound or pick and choose your way through the wide selection of pre-packaged treats. The staff is friendly, but can be spread thin if the shop is busy, so be patient if you come in on a busy weekend!
