Coming here was a family event for us...my daughter always insisted on coming with us (at 21 years old!) and my 24 year old son insisted on going here on every trip to Idaho. I truly loved every flavor I tried here, but dill pickle, huckleberry, loaded baked potato and caramel were my favorites. Unfortunately, they had to close their brick & mortar in 2024 due to a family matter. We miss you!!!!

Inside it is super bright and welcoming. Gilbert was so dang friendly. He gave me samples and he was happy to do so. I didn't ask for any. Customer service is seriously top notch. I tried dill pickle. Seriously yummy. Idaho baked potato. Another seriously yummy one. Movie kettle was good. Sea salt caramel. Mmmmmm. I also tried the fudge. Rocky road. Can't mess up a classic. I had to buy four flavors. Because how can you choose just one. I'll probably be back here. Sooner rather than later because does popcorn have any calories? I don't think so. Also, I forgot to add, they have containers for any occasion. I posted a few pictures of all that they have. Great place. Check this place out.

It's almost a "blink…read moreand you'll miss it" location, but your gps will get you there...good thing because you will not want to miss it! I've been eyeing this place for a while since my favorite place I've ever gone for popcorn shut down. When I "popped" into this place, I was a little lost since I half expected to walk into all the popcorn selections, instead you get a view of the cooking space. I panicked for a second until I turned to my right to see the delectable bags of popcorn, all different colors and flavors sitting there in all their copious glory! The best part is that the helpful sales person generously offered samples, which was appreciated. I had no idea since they were hidden in a side room, but grateful for the offer. We had intentions in mind though and instead of splurging on samples, narrowed our requests to align with our mission - caramel and dill pickle! Dill pickle was lightly dusted with the flavor of dill, with just a kiss of pickle. Hubby opted for the salted caramel (a story twist!) and actually loved it. I'm happy to have another "home" to satisfy my obsession with dill pickle popcorn. Trust me, it's great! My only gripe is the clunkiness of the layout (though it is neat to see how they make everything) and would love if the popcorn bags had zip closures to make it easier to reseal and/or "best by" or even "made on" dates added so I can go by freshness. Regardless, I'm super impressed by the basic selection as they covered all the favorites with a lot of fun and funky flavors too. You must go and support this amazing place!

I was…read morehoping to find a wide variety of peanut butter flavors, but there were really only two options: honey roasted and regular. They do, however, offer different kinds of candy and mixed nut snacking combinations, which makes browsing interesting. Expect prices to be a little on the higher side. The peanut butter, for example, was about $9 for a regular-sized jar. Bonus, they are liberal with the samples.

What a great candy store!!!…read more First of all it is such a throwback to the original candy stores, I mean way way back. It's wonderful!! The store has bulk, candy from the past, and current candies like pez. The people at the counter were wonderful. They have soda in the coolers. Little gift packages you can fill and buy, boxes and pails. I got Keroppi candy. And a Pez for my mom I'd never seen before. Everything is so tempting!! It's a bit pricy though. Bring your money... if I can afford it, you can too.

They always have such a big variety of goodies. Walking in, it's hard not to get overwhelmed by all the goodies, colors and displays. We went straight to the display counter to look at the truffles and to see if they had the Dubai bar. We were the only ones in the store. It was quite weird not to see a sales associate for a good amount of time. We located the bar, she decided against the bar since she can get one local for the same price and almost double in size. We walked around the store and looked at all the fun stuff. I love how everything is so organized and clean. When you have multiple customers through out the day going in and out of a bin, it's nice to see that it's clean. I personally don't like candy in bulk cause of potential germ contamination. But honestly, I have boughten candy from this joint and I have never had any issues since they keep it so clean. If your looking for a small sweet treat, Lolli and Pops would be a great store to grab your goodies at. Our even a fun gift for someone that likes sweets. They have a little of everything which is nice! Customer service wasn't the best when we were there. But we didn't stress about it. Maybe next time customer service will be better.

The staff are extremely friendly and polite, and love their job. The table seating is ok, that's my only gripe, but it's minor and is expected to appear that way being an old fashioned family candy store. There is a certain appeal to this store that you cannot shirk from. Not only do they sell ice cream, candy, fountain drinks, and popcorn, they also sell Stuffed animals and letters/cards. It's a throwback to the days I never got to experience. To make it even better, it's only a short steps away from a small but interesting toy store next door! My name is Brandon Thomason, and I'll see you next monday!

I arrived about 45 minutes before closing, and the young lady managing the store was super friendly and helpful. I explained that I wasn't sure what time they closed because the information on Yelp and Google did not match. She said she would update the operating hours to match. There's a lot of sugar inside, and the sweet aroma smacks you in the face the moment you open the door. I walked around the store, asked a bunch a questions, and then made my way to the gelato. The young lady explained that the gelato is made by a man from California, and it is brought in fresh. There are a lot of flavors to choose from, and they all look amazing. While I was trying to choose, I was offered many samples, which did help me decide on my choice. I got some gelato for myself and some for my wife, who was patiently waiting at home. While it didn't live up to gelato stand by the Trevi fountain or near St. Marks Basilica in Venice, it was damn good. If you're craving sweets, make sure to check Cravin's Candy Emporium.

It was perfect timing to stop in for an afternoon caffeinated beverage and a treat. I have been to a lot of parts of Meridian but I didn't even know this shop even existed. Where have I been? This shop is my ideal hang out spot. They have coffee and chocolates, two of my favorite things. And the chocolates here didn't disappoint. They all looked so good. The chocolates were prettily lined up in the bright display case. There was also a variety of packaged goodies too. I'm a visual eater so I like to pick out my own chocolates. Making a decision to which one to get will be the hard part. I got a a couple americanos started for my friend and I. We got iced americanos with sugar free white chocolate and cream. While our drinks were being worked on, I ate my caramel marshmallow milk chocolate heart and checked out all the merch on the floor. I did a run through all the treats in the little paper bags. The chocolate dipped potato chips caught my eye. I love me a sweet and salty treat. I love the Valentines day packaged chocolates. A big red heart full of sweets. There is also cards, art work, stickers and homemade goods. This is a great place to grab a quick and easy gift. My chocolate was so good! The marshmallow, caramel and milk chocolate is such a winning combination. I could have eaten another 2 or 3 pieces but I had some chocolates earlier in the day so I really had to control myself. The americanos looked really good. The sweet gal that made them did a good job. The espresso was very present. The half and half did help with the bitterness of the espresso. The white chocolate was there but I could have used a hair more or a packet of sweetner to make it a tad sweeter. I didn't see any sweetener packets anywhere so I'll have to ask them next time if they have any. But the espresso was just what I needed to keep me going. This venue is very cute. They have all sorts of options here besides coffee and chocolates. There are also Italian sodas, gelato, milk shakes and espresso in a scoop of ice cream. The espresso and ice cream combo is definitely a must try the next time I'm in! There is also a happy hour between 4 to 6 so that will be a great time to come in for a sweet treat. Looking forward to coming back and trying other sweets that are offered here, especially that espresso and ice cream concoction.
