Oh man this place has the potential to be so dangerous…read more Do you remember, in the pre-Katrina days, there was a place at Oakwood Mall (and maybe The Riverwalk) that was called Sweet Factory? You went into this delightful little candy shop, filled your bag with as many goodies as you wanted, and they charged you by weight. Well, Lolli and Pops is the same type of place. I was drawn into Lolli and Pops with a free sample of candy- candy from strangers is acceptable in cases like this. Walking in, I was in candy heaven; there were sweets of all types to explore. My favorite section was probably the candy from overseas- they had a lot of Asian treats that you can't get anywhere else and they have Pocky here!! They had regular sugar candy, a chocolate section and a while chocolate section. Chocolate covered pretzels, chocolate covered everything- I wanted it all. If filling a bag isn't your thing, they have a wide selection of goodies that are wrapped and boxed and ready to go. They also had really cool things like giant Rice Krispie Treats, cotton candy and fancy sodas that would be great for a party. I am really tempted to get one of those Rice Krispie Treats for my birthday...really tempted. I'm knocking off a star only because the place was jam packed and it kept me from really digging in and exploring all of the candy. I know it was a Saturday, so if I return it'll be on a weekday.

It was nice to finally experience this place but it's quite overpriced to me for the quality. I…read moretried 4 of the truffles and had the lavender, strawberry, bourbon, and passion fruit. Only half way liked the lavender. The others not so much. Service and the cashier were nice/pleasant. The shop is cute and colorful. Nostalgic and exciting to be a "kid is a candy store"! My godchild loved the gummy sour candies he got. Also tried the birthday cake caramel corn. It doesn't have much of a taste. The caramel is even bland. I did appreciate that it wasn't overly sweet but would actually have preferred that. Could be my choices. I may try something else from here soon.

No one spoke to us and we were the only customers in the store…read more Some of their prices are high. I have Amazon prime, and one toy was $30 over amazon's price. It was a colorful store with a small candy station. I'm not sure I'll ever go back.

It definitely has a lot of unique toys and games for your kiddos or even those kids at heart. My daughter came here and was in love with the little Japanese erasers shaped like food. They even have candy and party supplies. The sales associate was very helpful and was there to assist with anything we needed. From time to time they will have locally-themed toys available for sale, but you'll most likely need to pre-order it. Earlier this year, they had a crawfish boil set that was so adorable and regret not putting an order for it. It was definitely a local favorite - pot, crawfish, corn & potatoes; super cute! There are not a bunch of toy stores anymore, where kids can actually come look at toys, especially unique ones, so I am so glad they have this here.

Yes, it's seasonal, so don't go looking for it, until the tinsel is hung and the scent of Christmas trees fill the air. I grew up eating See's Candies and I must say I have a stronger appreciation for them now than I did when I was a kid. There is only one particular chocolate I can never get enough of and that is the dark chocolate caramel chew. I can eat about dozen of those. The employees are always so nice and they always have samples to give away. I never say no to free chocolate and their lollipops are always a popular giveaway that the kiddos seem to love. A box of dark chocolate caramel chews always seem to brighten up my holiday season.

They also had a good selection of flavored oils and vinegars as well as a nice selection of local products. I loved the variety of spice blends. The airy, rustic vibe of the store was perfect.

Wow I cannot recommend enough attending a cooking class here. I love to cook and feel like I have…read morepretty good knowledge but I learned a lot in their date night cooking class! It was a blast. Everyone was so nice, it was fun to meet people and enjoy the experience with them. The instructors were awesome! Fun, friendly and informative. The food was phenomenal. We had reverse seared chuck steak with chimichurri, flavorful roasted potatoes, not your average roasted cauliflower, a light and tasty fennel/celery salad and an amazing roasted onion hummus with spicy chickpeas. For dessert I learned to make cream puffs and it was accompanied by an awesome in-house tea. I can't wait to book my next class with more friends. This place is awesome, can't recommend enough. Such a fun date night or friends night out. Heck, something fun to do yourself! Learn a new skill and get a great meal out of it. It comes with a store discount so I racked up before leaving. Big fan.

We had grilled pork bahn mi, grilled chicken vermicelli bowl and a grilled pork spring roll. The cashier was nice and got us cups of ice to go with our water. The vermicelli bowl was our favorite-traces of mint, cilantro, chicken, noodles cucumber with a sweet sauce and occasional crunch of peanuts. I enjoyed the spring rolls and the peanut dipping sauce is so good you want to lick the bowl clean. Bahn mi was good. Lots of meat in it. We also enjoyed buying a hot sauce and ramen from the store. We will be back.

I'm a big fan of the Quoeviet brand "Hue" Style Beef Flavored Soup Base as it's my favorite go-to when I'm feeling a head cold coming on! This is also my go-to place for large bags of jasmine rice, which is yummy and very floral. Also, coffee candy, find some and thank me later! In the past year they've added a price scanner near the candy area so that you are no longer left guessing what things cost. They've also been better about keeping the flies out, an issue a lot of people had with this store a number of years ago.
