The chocolate is sooooo good! I love this place! Note: The peanut butter cups are my favorite! read more

Mouthwatering selection of chocolates and penny candy! Welcoming owner. She does birthday parties and special events too!

I was disappointed--the only 2 products we bought, chocolate malt balls and jelly beans, were both stale and dry so it seems like the products sit on the shelves for a long time. It's also very expensive! It's not a friendly environment and something about the shop is depressing. We won't be going back. read more

Okay, I'm going to start my review of the chocolate . Ive always gone along with the saying" Who Doesn't LOVE Chocolate!". But ... there's chocolate & then there's other chocolate. I believe it's a personal taste kind of thing...you either like it..or you don't. . I received an assortment from this store. Obviously the fact that I hadn't chosen the pieces added to the assortment, all I'm able to do is review what I did get. First of all each piece looked far too shiny & tasted waxy, something I definitely do not like. There was absolutely no richness & just far too sweet to my liking. So to save the calories, you guessed it I ended up bringing on 98% of ox to where I work where they all disappeared. Would I actually shop here? Probably not. read more

If you want to go in to an old candy store Sweet Mimi's is the one to go to the owner is very friendly and the staff is also I saw old Candy that I remembered as a kid in parking parking isn't that bad enjoy read more

I've shopped at Mimi's in person, but this was my first remote order. My wife likes their milk chocolate raspberry jellies. I sent an email to confirm they had what I needed in stock and to get the price and delivery cost. I called Mimi, she was very helpful, friendly, to place the order. 48 hours later they arrived at my door so, I'm ready for Easter. Reasonable prices, great friendly service. Highly recommended. read more

The chocolates are delicious, however the woman (Mimi?) who works the counter could use a little sweetening up. Every time I've been to the store she's seemed put-upon by my questions, needing my order rung up, or perhaps my existence. I've received the same treatment whether shopping solo or accompanied by my child. read more

These are such a special treat to give as gifts! There is a huge , yummy variety of chocolates to choose from!!!!I always love buying from there because I know how much they will be enjoyed! read more

This place is terrific. Just what I was looking for. Upscale chocolate store for a hostess gift. The variety is terrific and the prices are very good. The gift plates are the best: a nice assortment of chocolates on a gift platter that you can use forever...all under $20. And the owner is NOT grumpy. She was very nice. BTW the yelp address is wong. It's really at 94 Main Street. read more

I have never been to this business, but I watched this woman throw a complete temper tantrum behind me in traffic since she couldn't see that there was no room for me to make a right hand turn. Then, like a lunatic tried to cut me off, I'm in a gigantic cargo van by the way, as soon as I can safely make said right hand turn. I have to stop short because there's a man standing in the middle of the road, and she proceeds to nearly run him down in an effort to illegally pass me on the right near i93. This woman seriously needs to lose her licence. I can only imagine if there had been a child trying to cross that couldn't dodge her near vehicular murderous road rage. A word to the wise, if you're going to go postal in your car, make sure your business is blazoned across your murder weapon. read more

Whatever the occasion, Sweet Mimi's is my go to for chocolates. They have a great selection of chocolates for both adults and kids as well as jelly beans, novelty candy and etc. If your looking to add a sweet surprise to the rim of a cocktail or a birthday party favor bag, look no further than Sweet Mimi's. read more

Not so sweet....people who work there could be nicer. After a few visits and being treated like I was bothering them, I won't be back. Products were good, however. read more

I went in to Sweet Mimi's today, I usually go 3-4 times a year. Today was probably one of the worst visits. The man behind the counter was rude when I asked if he had my favorite candy, telling me that they melt in the summer----doesn't all chocolate melt if not refrigerated? Then when I was at the counter ordering the slush I noticed that the rude man behind the counter was BAREFOOT!!! No shoes, no socks, just barefoot. That is disgusting. If you are working, especially with food, you need to have your feet covered. On top of it all the slush was melted as soon as he scooped it out, the chocolate covered oreos that I got were stale and I didn't get a receipt for anything. I was not impressed and will not be back to Sweet Mimi's. read more

Sweet Mimi's is the best! Great customer service, delicious candy and great giftware and Mimi lives up to the store's name - she could not be sweeter. I would highly recommend you stop by. read more

I've had a few experiences with this store. Their candy is stale (not the home made chocolates but the jelly beans, ect that you can get a few stores down at cvs for much cheaper). As another reviewer point out, the staff is not friendly (to put it nicely) and they do put all of the chocolates in 1 bag instead of nearly in a box. They seemed to get anxiety when kids entered the store. Someone ordered us jelly beans from this store along with balloons as a gift. I hope they didn't pay too much for them. The jelly beans were stale and the flavors the store (not the person who ordered us a gift) picked out was the tropical blend for a little girl (coconut, pineapple, ect = not kid friendly). read more

My husband just got me a mixed box of chocolates for Valentines Day and these chocolates are so good. They have interesting combinations of flavors, and even the classics taste fresh and delicious. read more

I have had nothing but wonderful experiences at this cute little candy store. My kids and I have shopped there for over 10 years. There is a nice selection and the owner is friendly and helpful. It is great to have a locally owned small business like this in downtown andovw read more

Mimi just did my daughters wedding chocolate favors of the bride and groom,s initials. So adorable and delicious! Everyone went home with goodies and we couldn't have been happier with the whole experience. read more

I went into Sweet Mimi's to see if they could do gift boxes for clients of my husbands company. They made up lovely assortments and shipped them out for us in a very timely manner. The clients were thrilled with the artisanal chocolates. The staff was supportive and so polite. Thank you Sweet Mimi for helping us send out gifts that reflect the quality and standards that we require. HC read more

ok, forget a diet if that's your plan. not only are the candies THE BEST EVER but mimi is as sweet as the chocolates she sells and not just chocolates, every different kind of candy imaginable. parties for kids, but so much more, just peek into the window and drool. and the people working there are helpful, delightful and have ideas for trays and baskets that if not already made up, will be made in minutes. my favorite place to go to when visiting friends in new england. that coming from a new yorker!!!!! read more

A "sweet" candy shop run by a sweet lady. Whether you need a quick gift, to send some sweets elsewhere, or just want to satisfy your sweet tooth, this is the place. Now located in the heart of downtown Andover, this is a hub of pleasantries and laughter. I heartily recommend 'Sweet Mimi's. Jay W read more

I was in the town of Andover and stopped by Sweet Mimi's. It was a great find--the candy was delicious-- and I am very particular! They also have all sorts of creative items and gifts. They were very helpful since I needed to pick up something for a friend too. This is a great tip for anyone visiting the town--don't miss this store! read more

The owners are extremely off putting and rude foremost. Their penny candy is always stale as is their fudge they get from Winfreys and let sit for eons and continue to sell. They're chocolates are decent but nothing exciting like new fusion flavors you can get get from premium chocolatiers. For the price they charge you'd expect the product to be fresh. If you're in the market for fresh fudge, chocolates, and candy make the trek to Winfreys. read more

The store lady is a little weird. She didn't seem to hear what I was ordering even I kept pointing to my selections. The chocolates are a little overpriced though they are pretty good. However she kept putting all chocolates in one small bag and they were a mess when I opened it with the wraps all coming off. read more

With all due respect to Aeg from New York, you must've hit Mimi on a good day. I'm local and really do enjoy the chocolates in the store, but I will no longer support this store with my business. I have been treated rudely here on more than one occasion. We work hard for our money, and I choose to support other local businesses that understand the value of good customer service. read more

"Sweet Mimi's" is a huge exaggeration. Absolutely nothing sweet about either of the women that worked there today - Mimi was one of them. Was it Valentine's Day today? Yes, but they weren't swamped with customers, and if I am going to purchase premium chocolate in a premium shop I would expect the experience to be less than painful. I get treated better at Rocky's Hardware. read more

I visited the store at noon and the store has a note on the door saying "back in 5 mins." I waited for 40minutes and still nobody came back. I had to leave for work. When I called in the afternoon, the person who picked up the phone was very rude and even did not bother to apologize. He says it was a medical emergency and the store has opened for 30 years and this is the first time things like this happened. How lucky I am! read more

I had to wait for the woman to get off the phone before I could place my order. Way over priced! $25/lb??? The chocolate is 2nd rate. Plus, she had a crumpled up piece of tissue paper in her hand that had obviously been used over and over again and then didn't even use it to put my chocoloates in the box! Used her uncovered hands! Hopefully I won't catch anything. Don't think I will be visiting again here anytime soon. read more

I went to Sweet Mimi's to look for favors for a bridal shower. I must say, the owner was very nice and very helpful. She suggested a long pretzel covered in chocolate and M+M's that would work well with the colors I was using at the table. Not only did they look great, but they were so delicious. I highly recommend Sweet Mimi's for special occasions or if you just want a sweet little chocolate treat. read more

When ever I am in the Andover area I always make it a point to go to Sweet Mimi's. The selection and quality of their product is superb. I am a choc-a-holic so I could spend hours there. The service is top notch and friendly. The only problem is trying to narrow down my selction of what to buy. Can't wait to get back there soon. read more

Candy and gift items in one stop shopping makes this shop easy. The creativity and packaging is terrific.

I have an unhealthy obsession with candy, and the store is perfect to satisfy my needs. On the other hand, the service isn't great. Mimi herself is fairly nice, although sometimes less so than others, but her husband is downright awful! He's incredibly rude, and to KIDS too! During one exchange there were two girls (6th grade-ish) in line in front of me. Only one of them was buying something. She had her candy weighed, and Mr. Mimi gave her the price. Turns out she was a tad short, so her friend pulled out a couple of dollars. Mr. Mimi glared at the friend, telling her that the girl needed to pay for herself. so many things wrong with this exchange... 1) Business is business. Why should it matter to him who's giving it? 2) They were kids looking for a fun, relaxed Friday afternoon. He obviously ruined it as the girl looked like she was trying really hard to hold back tears. 3) How was the girl expected to pay for it herself?! She only had x amount of money. Was he really going to waste that candy? 4) SIXTH GRADERS!!!! read more

Whenever we are back in the Andover area, we make a point to stop into Sweet Mimi's. Our entire family loves chocolates, and although we've tried alot of candy stores, very few seem to measure up to Sweet Mimi's. The quality of the chocolates is first-rate, and the assortment is outstanding. It doesn't seem to matter who is behind the counter, almost without exception, they give you very personal attention. Sweet Mimi's is a real gem, and we'll be back! read more

For being an overpriced candy store with not even an impressive array of chocolates, one would think the owners would at least to attempt and convey sweetness, as the name would suggest. However, not only are Mr and Mrs mimi not "sweet", they are downright unpleasant and surly. I am employed a block down from their store, and have frequented the establishment occasionally in search of a sugar fix. The owners are never pleasant, but my experience today left me with such a bitter taste in my mouth (even while eating their candy) I must write an unfavorable review. I entered the store and greeted Mr mimi, who absolutely knows who I am, as he uses the facilities at my job all the time. He did not say hello, or any words to me despite my cheery greeting and sign of recognition. While ringing me up, no words did he utter except for the total owed. After I paid, and said thank you, he did not thank me for my business, or wish me a nice day. He was so unfriendly it was awkward! I think this lack of common courtesy is appalling, and at the very least, an unacceptable way to run a local business. Especially one called "sweet mimis". I will be buying my candy elsewhere. Perhaps cvs, where I can find equivalent product at a fairer price, and probably a thank you upon checkout. read more
