So many awesome gummy bear flavors
Michelle P.

I'm not a big candy eater so I can't really speak to much of the candy. I sampled chocolate gummy bears and salted caramels covered in chocolate. Both were fine, but I wouldn't go out of my way to get them again. If you have a very refined chocolate palate, I would guess that this isn't the store for you. It seemed like most of the options are mass produced. Perhaps the chocolates behind the glass display case in the front are not...but I doubt it. However, this is a really fun place for kids. Lots of options from the bulk sections to fill up a little bag. My four year old, 'Hungry', was particularly delighted by the walls of gummy bears. Some of the flavors are really fun...like rose or mojito! Mmmm! There are quite a few nostalgic candy options (though not nearly as many as our local candy shops). They also have a few different sections devoted to candy from around the world. The layout is very clean and organized. There seems to be enough space to navigate and things are clearly labeled. The lady behind the counter didn't interact with us at all until we were ready to purchase. This is pretty dang pricey though. The bulk candy came out to $8 and we got maybe 15 pieces (mostly gummy bears and a few small chocolates). It's a nice option when you're cruising through the mall, but if you're looking for speciality candy, I'd probably find a local joint. :)

This is old fashioned candy store schtick and I walked in prepared to hate it for over the priced hype that I was certain it would be. After all ,Lolli and Pops is a chain of about 30 stores placed in malls in the U.S. and when merging with (well, taking over) Powell's chain of candy stores in 2014, I expected more of that format. Not to mention I so dislike malls that it makes me cranky to have to go to them to shop. But the vintage yet slightly upscale exterior (directly across the way from Sees by the way) drew me in for a look see. And then the friendly greeting at entry from a delightful young woman, dressed in the uniform garb of white shirt, black bow tie, black and white striped apron and straw hat as one imagines an old fashioned candy store employee would wear turned me from "harrrumph..." sourpuss into sweetened up fan of Lolli and Pops. WARM WELCOME & SERVICE Her name is Rachel and she asked my husband and me two simple questions as she greeted us. "Welcome to Lolli and Pops! Is this your fist time in?" When we answered yes, she continued, "Would you like a tour to learn more about what we have in the store for you?" See how that works? She was so engaging that atlhough I was thinking I could see all I needed to see of a chain candy store on my own thank-you-very-much, I said sure, a tour would be swell. She responded she could even offer us some samples as we toured through. Hang on to that...the samples thing...it will come up again. And as we started our tour she asked about what we liked. Remember the "...for you" comments in her greeting. It continued through the tour, "Do you enjoy chocolate? Do you prefer milk or dark?" and she would vector us to some yummy things to see. It is worth noting every young man and woman in the store, because they were all that on the day of our visit, was equally as warm and helpful in serving customers. They can answer all your questions and they're happy to make recommendations for their favorite things. That great service makes one want to buy things. It is a key piece of retail sales strategy these owners understand. Well done. STORE LAYOUT If you're familiar with Dylan's Candy Bar (the now small chain started with the NYC flagship candy paradise by Ralph Lauren's daughter) Lolli and Pops is a bit like that, although much smaller in scale and without the chaos and pretension of Dylan's. The store is laid out logically if you're on a hunt but still enticingly to encourage gathering if that's what you'd like to do. At the front of the store you'll find the nostalgia section of candy bars you'll remember from childhood...a la Powell's...no matter how young at heart in years you may be. To the right is a proper chocolates and sweets case with delights like truffles and macaron. Left and right and all around are bins with chocolate delights, like the dark chocolate covered espressso malt ball we sampled, and also premium candy bars made by others as well as those made by Lolli and Pops. They even have a section specifically for Asian sweets, a section for popcorn, and a section for novelty and old fashioned sodas. Straight ahead is the "mascot" figure that appears in all Lolli and Pop stores, and it is a big, Oscar-esqe golden "gummy" shaped bear. The room in which it holds court is full of gummies and sours and jellies and licorice from all over the world. Salted licorice coins from Germany. Sour cherry belts from Spain. And if you're the type, like me, who when presented with a bag of gummy bears pulls out all the pineapple ones to eat, this is your place because it offers pineapple gummies all on their own. And here we come back to samples. As she introduced us to the gummy room Rachel told us, "Sampling is encouraged." That's the verb she used. "If you just ask me or..." and here she nodded to her colleague dressed in Lolli & Pops garb standing at the ready in the gummy room, "...or Scott, we'll be happy to help you with a sample from the bins". As if on cue a mom and her adult daughter said to us, "Try the Jalapeno gummy." So we did. Wowza! But it is inevitable that offered a sample of something leads to the buying of it or something else. Which is a darned good reason to have the nice monitor there to assist. TO KEEP IT FRESHENED UP Products are added to and rotated out of the store on occasion so that things stay interesting. THE GIFT THAT FITS EVERYONE Lolli and Pops has a number of different containers that can be filled with the goodies of your choice for gifting. And a unique item is a cool little gift box sized just right to hold one of their specialty premium chocolate bars, that opens like a book to reveal the chocolate, a greeting and a space where you can tuck a L&P gift card in the amount you choose. For the record, I prefer dark chocolate...with sea salt and almonds is a good start...and I can find lots to choose with any amount of gift card you want to tuck in. :-)

The manager runs a great store and has a fantastic crew at her side. Everyone is always full of energy and spirit, even during these trying times. There are so many amazing candy options here ranging from nostalgic, foreign, novelty, and even bulk bins of amazing chocolate covered goods. Having frequented many of my lunch breaks to swing by here one can help but indulge a little. I highly recommend the Pearson's Nut Goodie.

Hair down, over the samples and WHY is she texting on the job, in public? Manager issues apparently...

The staff aren't attentive to customers. I've been in the store without ANY staff. What the?? I went to the local store and purchased most of what they sell in bulk for about half the cost. Save yourself the experience and go to See's across the way for chocolates.

This brand new candy store is sweet. They have a huge selection of quality chocolates, snacks, candy, and truffles. The truffles are so cute and delicious. They're definitely worth their high end price. Our favorite truffles are; extra bittersweet black cat, cookies & cream, dark caramel macchiato, Mexican hot chocolate,..so far!:)) We'll be back for more!

I love Lolli and Pops! They have a huge variety of candy and a lot of stuff that you can't find anywhere else. I love coming for their gummies and chocolate bins because you can pick just a few pieces of everything. If you want to try it out, just ask them for a sample. Everyone working there was super friendly. Turns out they just opened up yesterday! I'm happy to see them here. I've been the Portland shop and loved it too~

I picked a pack of 6.. can be picked as per ur preference.. i chose hazelnut, lavender, birthday cake, rose, cappuccino n coconut
Aswathy V.

There is something magical about being in a candy store. Chocolates, truffles and chocolate bars…read moreeverywhere. I have been to a lot of candy stores in our valley but just a shop that focuses on chocolate, a total different vibe! I made my way to the Chocolat Bar today. The perfect shop to help with my sweet tooth. I remember getting some chocolates as a gift but it was nice to be able to make my way into the store. The venue is so stunning. Beautiful displays of hot cocoa containers, chocolate bars and gift boxes of chocolates. Bright display cases of beautifully made chocolates and truffles. Everything looked divine! As much as I wanted to buy a whole pound of chocolates, I knew I couldn't polish off a whole pound by myself. My husband loves chocolate but isn't into anything fancy. I know he wasn't going to help me with a the chocolates I would have picked out. So, I opted to grab a small box of assorted chocolates. The little box I grabbed was simple and delicate. I love the little blue bow on the box. It was just the right amount of goodies for me. And since it's a variety, I get to try a little of everything. I appreciate that they have a list of what was going to be in the box. You get a nice mix of dark and milk chocolate. I'm not going to lie, I opened up that box and had 2 pieces of the dark chocolates drops. No guilt polishing off 2 pieces of chocolate right away. Later I had a milk chocolate drop with cashews I believe and I'm in love. I recall the chocolates I had in the past were fabulous but the chocolates I got today were delicious! And I plan on not sharing the rest of the box with anyone in my house. I was hesitant at the store purchasing a whole pound of chocolate but after eating 3 pieces of it today, I think I'm going to have to grab a pound the next time I come in. I know I'll have to pace myself with that many sweets but it'll be so worth every penny! Happy I stopped in for a treat today. The staff was super friendly and helpful. I got to support a local business. After reading a couple reviews, the coffee and Gelato are a must here too, a must have on my next visit. The store is so pretty and bright. The chocolates here are fantastic. I can't wait to come back soon for some Valentines day treats.

You are in for a treat here. The chocolate alone makes it worth the stop, but the moment you step…read moreinside it feels like a cozy French café. Do not skip the coffee because they do it right, and it pairs perfectly with whatever sweets you pick. Service is always friendly and personal, which adds to the charm. Whether you love milk chocolate, dark chocolate, or truffles, the selection is deep and everything is top quality. My personal favorites are the barks, especially the mixed nut, cocoa, and cherry. I have yet to find a bad one. The best way to enjoy it is to grab a selection, order a coffee, and sink into one of their comfortable chairs for a little break. Just be warned, you will walk out with a bag of chocolate that somehow ends up around forty dollars. Worth every penny.

The chocolates are definitely the highlight: they taste premium, are beautifully made, and feel high quality. They're slightly on the expensive side, but worth it if you want really good chocolate. About half of the store appears to be their in-house chocolates and truffles, while the other half consists of gummies, taffy, and other candies that are sourced from elsewhere. I did ask before buying, so I knew -- but unless you ask, it's not very clear what's made in-house and what isn't. A bit more transparency would be helpful. The gummies I tried were excellent (and I even got a great $1 bundle deal). The taffy, sourced from Salt Lake City, had good flavor but was firmer and more rubbery than the soft, melt-in-your-mouth texture I prefer. Overall, a strong 4 out of 5 stars -- great chocolates and selection, with just a little room for clearer labeling.

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.

I used to go to Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory when it was out at the outlet mall. Now there's a new owner and new store front in Meridian which is so much closer to me. My friend swears by their Dubai chocolate bars here. I finally got to try out the Dubai chocolate and I see the hype in them, they are so good! I made my way in to see what kind of goodies they had. I like that you're not committed to a pound here so I'll be able to get a variety of treats. Walking in, you are smacked in the face with this amazing smell from the caramel they were using to dip the apples in. You are visually sent into overdrive with all the chocolates, Valentines decor and dipped apples perfectly displayed all over. I didn't even know where to begin! I wanted to look at everything, God forbid I miss out on something good. I would literally get one of everything if I could. The truffles, fudge, dipped twinkies, apples covered in caramel and chocolate, smores, it was all calling my name. Trying to narrow my selection down was going to be a difficult decision. But I ended up going with a milk chocolate sea salt caramel, a milk chocolate caramel, a milk chocolate truffle and one more piece that I can't remember. I also snagged a little bag of peanut butter melts for my husband. The gal that helped me out today was kind and patient with me. I was looking over the display case and wanted to make sure that I got anything that called out to me. It was neat seeing the dipping of the apples, it's an art for sure. The store is very cute, perfectly laid out and welcoming. I'm looking forward to eating my goodies later. I will have to make my way back soon. There's more treats that need to be tried out.
