Great chocolates! The people helping me make my selections were very helpful. They only take cash or checks so I needed to go to find an ATM which happened to be across the street. Good prices for quality chocolate read more

Bevan's Own Make Candies - Candy Stores Near Me - Media, Pennsylvania

Bevan's forms of payment are check or cash. I went to pay with a credit card and before I had time to check if I had cash, the clerk was waiting on someone else. I found the cash, which she took. I was owed 25 cents in return. Before she finished our transaction, she rang up another person. I don't think I will return, as the clerk was impatient and not helpful. I must add a star review- not about the candy. read more

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 read more

Scrumptious candy and friendly and courteous staff. Absolutely the best homemade candy!

I've eaten chocolate all over the world because I love to travel and I love chocolate. Bevan's chocolate is one of my favorites and I'm not saying that just because I'm a Bevan. Sooo good! read more

Bevan's Own Make Candies - a storefront - Candy Stores Near Me - Media, Pennsylvania

[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. read more

Women opens bag to check and then says we gave you 2 small eggs instead of large 1 lb egg !!!! No apology . If I had not questioned name I would not have known that until I got home !!!! No explanation as to why I did not get 1 lb egg as ordered !!! read more

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. read more

This little shop is so cute, and the workers are so sweet! I came in to pick up an order I had placed and didn't realize they're cash or check only (usually I'm good about checking!). Wawa is right up the road if you make the same mistake I did. When I arrived, it was close to their closing time but they were still very patient and kind. When I asked about a certain candy, I was given a sample to take home and ohmygosh it was delicious. I'm still getting to know all of the local places in the area so I'm happy to say that this will be added to my list of go-tos! read more

I love this shop! There was a line when I got there around 10:15z. It went quickly and It was nice to see covid precautions in place. My order was filled promptly and the woman working the counter gave my little one a cute chocolate to snack on. The pieces I tasted when I got home was the highlight! Looking forward to gifting their chocolates for the special people in my life for years to come. read more

Great quality with good process. Love supporting local businesses when we can. This is a good one.

Bevan's has the most amazing staff/service. Family business that has perfected the craft of homemade candy. The chocolate is the best I have ever had and is always a great gift that will light up someone's day. read more

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 read more

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. read more

Bevan's Own Make Candies - Candy Stores Near Me - Media, Pennsylvania

I grew up in Media, and Bevan's has been around forever. We always had special Bevan's chocolate bunnies and custom eggs in our Easter basket every year. The dark chocolate is on par with European darks I have known and loved. Silky smooth and delicious. My husband, who grew up in the CT burbs, was deprived of Bevan's. I bought him his first chocolate bunny this year, and every time he comes home from work, he disappears into the kitchen, and reappears with chocolate at the corners of his lips. Coconut cream is EXCELLENT! LOVE IT! Service was great, and the one blonde woman who I had (twice in the same week b/c I had to go back for more) was really sweet and helpful. It should be noted that Bevan's is CASH OR CHECK ONLY, which I don't think others have mentioned, and is kind of a stand-out these days, so arrive prepared. Well worth the money! Fabulous chocolate and candies! --------------------------------- As of today, Yelp does not have this store's hours posted. It would be very helpful if Yelp or Bevan's could update that info. I had to click on the company website, and then onto their Facebook page before I found any hours. They are as follow: Mon - Sun: 10:00 am - 6:00 pm read more

I stepped into the Bevan's store and was instantly sent back in time. Each spring my parents bought my brother and I large coconut cream eggs with our names written in them. They were always the highlight of our Easter baskets and savored for weeks following. This year, I went back in time and visited Bevan's. I bought my dad an egg with his name on it and sent it to him. We live in different states now but I thought it would be fun to send him a memory from the past. The store is small and with Covid restrictions in place allows two patrons at a time. Everything is homemade and fresh bursting with flavor. They are a third generation run family business. Cash only. Visit Bevan's today for delicious chocolate and hometown hospitality! read more

DELICIOUS homemade chocolate. Their chocolate is not too sweet or full of pectin like commercial chocolate. One of the FEW remaining homemade candy stores in the area. Hit it up-NOW! read more

When we moved to Media a couple years ago I was so excited to see there was a homemade chocolate shop! My husband and I stopped in to try a couple things and were so impressed. The inside of the shop is adorable and smells amazing. The owner was so sweet and welcoming. You can really tell she loves what she does! The white chocolate is so smooth and well rounded. My favorite ended up being the dark chocolate creams! They have a very nice variety. We brought a box of assorted to my family Christmas dinner and since then they've been requested at every holiday! Definitely worth stopping in, you'll absolutely find yourself going back just like we did. read more

The service was great but we happened to come just before the shop was going to close for a week-long vacation, so the shelves were nearly empty - which is actually a good sign that they make everything fresh. My 9 year old bought a $2.00 White Chocolate (confection) Golf Ball-shaped lollipop and she enjoyed it. Can't wait to come back at Easter or Christmas and see everything they make. Limited hours - so be aware of that. read more

Staff very friendly and efficient. Great selection of candies and chocolates. I like to call ahead for an order because we stock up on their goodies. Everything is fresh and very good. If you don't see what you want, simply ask because they may have it. read more

Out of towner who stopped in to give the place a try. The candies are overall good but really sweet. I only had the milk chocolate though so the dark are probably significantly less so. Nice to see a small local company doing well. :) read more

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

Bevans has been making candy for 50 years. But that is not what makes them great. Everything they do is quality. EVERYTHING. It is easy to order your favorite- but this is a place to branch out and try new things. If you do- you can easily end up with new favorites. Everything melts in your mouth. read more

If your heart desires really good, fresh candy, look NO further. This is THE place to get it. If you don't believe me, just ask my dentist. Seriously, they have some of the best candy you have ever tasted. Just remember to bring cash because they keep it simple. If you need coconut Easter eggs for Easter, try to get there a few days earlier. Their Easter candy is so incredibly good, they get swamped. You will NOT be disappointed. read more

The selection in the store is good especially considering the small size of the showroom. I have tried only a few of my purchases, and found them to be better than average. The dark chocolate is a bit bitter and not as smooth as some of the higher end chocolates that I have had, but you can certainly do worse. I purchased a number of interesting items for my children for easter, chocolate dipped pretzel bunnies, chocolate covered coffee beans etc. They have yet to try them so the jury is still out on those. What one should be aware of the the extremely rude service that you will encounter. The store has been at its current location for more than 50 years, so I suspect that most of their customers are well known to them. If you are a new customer it seems that they do not really want your business. I was purchasing over 10 items, and they do not provide any carrying baskets etc. I initially tried to hold all of them, and despite looking right at me none of the three employees offered to help me. I eventually placed the items on the counter to better allow me to shop and was given a dirty look. When I had finished shopping I stood in front of my items for almost a minute without any service. The employee was not occupied at the time and even once stared right at me without saying anything. Only when I asked to check out did she start ringing my items up. She promptly dropped one of my items on the floor, and broke it. Rather than saying she was sorry she just continued ringing up the other items, When I went to pick up the broken item and put it aside she curtly said "just give it to me". When everything was finally tallied, I pulled out my credit card and was informed that they did not take credit cards. Rather than waiting for me to get some cash she literally walked away from me. I am not sure if she thought that someone like me did not carry that much cash or what, but her actions were completely dumbfounding. So if you are looking for homemade chocolates in Media, they are your only real option. The samples and the selection are pretty good, just be prepared for rude service. read more

Awesome local business with awesome local candies. Having grown up in Springfield, I can credit Bevan's for introducing me to and subsequently addicting me to chocolate covered pretzels - of which theirs are the my absolute favorite. For as long as I can remember, my father would bring home boxes of their pretzels on major holidays. Now I'm 23 and I still get as excited for a box of Bevan's as I did years ago. Keep it up! read more

The candy is good. The people who work here are not pleasant. When you walk in, they act as though you're inconveniencing them. One woman in particular is downright miserable. For a small business in an unstable economy, you would think they could be somewhat pleasant. Therefore, it's not worth the money. Parking is horrible. Go up the road a bit to Trader Joe's. You can't beat their prices, and the candy is DELICIOUS. read more

I cant believe some of these reviews.... I bet the people writing them are probably always miserable and pain in the a$$ customers. Generations of the Bevan family has always made the best buttercreams and caramels not to mention just everything they make. im drooling for the dark chocolate pretzels right now. everything is made there the operation is unbelievable. Anna F get a life and wear a smile on your face, life is short eat BEVANS haha!!!!! read more

Love this place. Everything is wonderful, but their chocolate covered pretzels are the best I ever had. Just wish they would ship and/or do online ordering, at least seasonally. I grew up in Media but have moved away and can only get their candy when I'm home (i.e. not often enough). read more

I have only lived in the greater Media area (if there is such a thing) a few years and have been to Bevan's a few times and have not been disappointed. GREAT service, gift wrapping, and better than the grocery store quality candy. It is made fresh and very tasty. I was in and out for Valentines Day with a line of folks ahead of me with gift wrapping in a matter of minutes. read more

Mediocre Candy, RUDE sales ladies. The candy is just okay. Some appears to not be made there, but it's unclear. The worst part about this place is that the sales ladies act inconvenienced when you show up to buy something. There is limited parking, the shop is as big as a large bathroom, the candy is just okay (Trader Joe's is right up the street and has much better candy, and better prices!!!!!!!), but the arrogance and condescending attitude, especially from the one lady who is always coiffed and made-up, is not worth the trip. read more
