I was gifted a lovely box of mixed chocolates from this lovely shop by a former Valentine. It was the first time I truly enjoyed every piece. So beautiful and so delicious. I was able to try another Bevan chocolates every time we visited his little sister. She fancied the 'Thin mints.' Those then became my favorites. So today I have 3 special gifts to pick up and I'm doing it here at Bevan's. Marshmallow caramels and two thin mints. Lovely staff here. Wonderful nostalgic atmosphere. Old photos. It's been a favorite in Media for a long time. I feel very happy shopping here . If I had my ukelele with me I would sing a song about how even if that old old valentine didn't workout... the sweetness of Bevan's is everlasting. It's true. ٩()۶ Tip: cash or check only

Was in area and came Across this on the map. Candy / sweets I'm in. Was a nice little corner store. Walked in and was in heaven. So much assortments to chose from. Everything looked fresh & Sgt's I bought was very fresh. There was only one big flaw... "CASH ONLY""

[571] This cool small local shop is on busy Baltimore Pike. Make sure you slow down and look or you will miss this gem (across from Wendys). A friend gave me a box of assorted chocolates for Christmas and they were so tasty that I had to come check this place out myself. I must have passed it a ton of times so I'm glad my friend introduced me to this amazing chocolate. The candy tastes so fresh that it's hard to stop eating it. They a bunch of cool options and I know this place will be busy for the upcoming Vday holiday. The staff was very nice and helpful. They only take cash or check (who carries that anymore ..lol) I parked on the street. Definitely stop it as I promised you will not be disappointed. I'll be back again.

This place has been a staple in Media for decades. And for good reason. Entirely homemade chocolates and candies. Comprising half a block on Edgmont street It's family owned and operated with pride. Mobbed around major holidays so stop in well before. Also, walk to the back of the building outside and you can sometimes see the candy making in progress. Easter is coming so I'm ordering all my favorites for family and friends.

Wow! Such a cute n charming little store. I was very impressed that they've been a media staple for 50 YEARS. The milk chocolates are veryyy smooth and creamy. We got some peanut butter filled ducks, rabbits and small coconut cream eggs. So yummy! We bought some dark chocolate cream eggs as well and the dark is not as nice as the milk, imo, but still good. The candies are a tad too sweet and they are a bit pricey so 4 stars

America's first Fair Trade Town gets another wonderful addition. Media's Bevan's Own Make Candies are awesome. Fresh, moist, beautiful. Appetizing. The store, taking almost a half a block between State Street and Baltimore Pike in Media, specializes in hand-made candies and chocolate. And their menus and offerings change with the calendar. This time, the owner had me taste some succulent Irish Potatoes, coconut filled with a rough chocolate outside. Grrrrr they were good. And as well, they have a collection of Marzipan delicacies. If you want to feel like Royalty, enter the store.

Coconut cream + dark chocolate!

The candy is delicious, but the people that work there are not very pleasant they act as if you're bothering them.

So funny enough story I think I've been following this business for quite some time then when I was…read morein Gettysburg I bought a keychain from a vintage store that also sold new trinkets (I cannot remember the name) - I'm pretty sure I was following this store before I bought that keychain - because then when I was in Media last fall, 2024, I regretted not stopping in here and realized - hey , that's the company that made that keychain I bought at that random store in Gettysburg. Anyway, 2025, I finally made it in. It's a small shop with mostly made objects and some vintage things thrown in. I think they also print a lot of stuff using vintage prints - I could be wrong? Anyway the store is tiny - at least when stuffed with people - which is a good problem to have but does make perusing all the lovely trinkets a bit hard. It's mostly trinkets. Stationary, plates, jewelery, keychains, toys, bits and bobs. The kind of store you can find almost anyone a gift but mostly walk away with fun stuff for yourself. Prices were mostly reasonable and I like that the items were overall unique to the store! It was beautifully decorated for the holidays and they also had a plethora of ornaments for sale. The staff was nice. I love their branding. Their other store is Greatest Hits (I also have a review of this I believe). But yeah it's a cool spot, check it out while you're in media !

What a cute shop!! Definitely trends towards the pricier end, but they offer a good range of items…read moreand have a selection I was impressed with. We were fans of all the Snoopy and Peanuts-related merch in particular. Great for gifts and locally-made products!

I feel like I could spend hours in here. The owner really makes the shop feel so special as it is…read moreperfectly curated and full of so many little details! They also always have the best window displays! I love sharing this place to friends and family as they have a great selection of books, toys and all kinds of treasures!

This morning I had called the shop to inquire about a dollhouse. I spoke to a woman who stated that…read moreshe would check the price and have me call back in 30 minutes. I was so delighted that she had the house that I just headed right over to purchase it, regardless of price. When I arrived, she seemed extremely uninterested at first, but stated she would find out the price of the hous for me. After I looked at it, I had decided to purchase it, and I told her I would like to load it in the car. She became very distraught and angry Stated that she had told me to call back in 30 minutes because it would take a long time for them to prepare the house. She said that they would need to dismantle the display and it would not be ready until tonight. I told her I'd driven 40 minutes just to pick up the house and I would actually help her dismantle everything from insideif it would allow for me to get it sooner. By the way, there was only a few toys and pluses in the house. The picture is provided for everyone to see that it would only take 3 minutes to remove the items from inside! She then told me that she was very busy and I needed to calm down because she is verybusy and understaffed, and that she needs to check out everyone else in line first and I needed to step aside. She replies in a very mad way I told you to call back in 30 minutes!!!!! I reminded her kindly that she asked me to call back For the price, and I headed over because the price did not matter. I was embarrassed and humiliated, I then decided to walk away and let her check out all the other people in line. When she had done that, I came back to tell her I would help her dismantle the area for the house and I wanted to see what she could do for me. She was clearly walking past me ignoring me for a while and then she came and told me "now do you see what I just said,when we are extremely busy! She was so angry with us. I mentioned to her that she should calm down and that I would help her. Her attitude was so extremely disrespectful and aggressive and demeaning towards me. I don't even know why I bought the house, really just because I wanted to make sure I had everything assembled for Christmas for my kids. She then charged me more than what it cost to purchase the item Yes online, and the item is also marked in many areas and has some damage. I did not even complain about that. My biggest complaint is the way she treated me. It was absolutely disgusting. I work in an extremely stressful environment on a daily basis, and I have never ever talked to a single soul in this way EVER. I have spent thousands of dollars at your store, but I will never come back. I hope that everyone reads this and sees that they do not deserve to be treated this way.. Again I work in a very stressful high volume job, and have NEVER treated anyone this way Also you should have been grateful to be busy in a bad Economy, not taking it out on customers Your response shows everything. You called me entitled, yet again insulting me when I did nothing wrong. I am a kind paying customer at your store who moved aside even though I waited in line for you to check out those ten customers in a calm and patient manner. I tried to park outside your store, but a large beverage truck parked there. I told the lovely young man I would carry the house to my car on the SAME block but he said he would help me. It took 5 minutes for him to walk down the street with me, and I also thanked him and tipped him a cash gift. You can justify why you behaved so rudely to me all you want and refuse to acknowledge your behavior which is not excusable. The house DOES have damage and the price is lower on Maileg site and all websites. I have dealt with all kinds of extremely stressful situations and have NEVER treated anyone like that ever. You seem to find such behavior acceptable and this is why I will never come to your store again
