Sweet Mimi's Chocolates — Local services in Andover

I got to visit Sweet Mimi’s Chocolates a few weeks ago while at a tournament with our students from my job, and I ended up going two days in a row. It’s a cozy candy store filled with so many sweet treats to choose from.

On my first visit, I got some chocolate-covered almonds that were absolutely delicious — so good that I went back the next day to get more because the students ate most of mine. I also grabbed some shoestring candy, which was nostalgic for me, and some Swedish Fish. One of my co-workers picked out some treats too.

When we walked in, I believe I met the owner, who let us know she had to step out for a moment and that the young lady working there would help us. Both of them were so friendly and helpful, which made the experience even better.

They also had what we call in Philly “water ice,” or a more slushy-style treat, along with a variety of other sweets. The store has a beautiful display of chocolates and candies, with everything from jelly beans and gum to chewy and hard candies. You grab a bag and use the little candy scoops to pick your selections, which makes it fun and easy.

Overall, it was such a nice experience, and I’d definitely stop by again if I’m ever...

They offer birthday parties for kids but it is so small I don’t know how they do these parties. We were excited to try out chocolates but another customer came in as we were waiting for the lady to get the one candy my MIL requested. She ended up with small talk with the client and then taking a full order. She never asked us to wait, not apologized for interrupting our small order to take a larger one. We waited over 20 minutes for her to have small talk and then complete his order before she got the one piece my MIL requested at least 5 minutes before the gentleman came in. Customer services was poor I felt as if we were bothering her being there. Expressed it was our first time and was my MIL birthday she could care less. We were not impressed by the chocolates we did get nothing special and we...

The best things come in little brown bags. I spent way to much money today, but it was worth it. Ate one of the truffles as soon as I got back to my hotel. YUM!! She also has bulk Jelly Belly jellybeans. The owner was very nice to this out of towner, will go back if I run out of candy before my job sends me somewhere else....
