Lolli & Pops — Restaurant in Lynnwood

Adorable and delicious candy shop, Lolli & Pops, your go-to place for gourmet bulk confections at the Alderwood Mall!

I love this place. Their teenage staff is as sweet as their candy. They have chocolate covered gummy bears, for starters. Chocolate covered cherries & blueberries. Salted caramel chocolate rocks. Handmade bonbons. And so much more. And that's just in the chocolate section!

They also sell bulk non-chocolate candies. Your gummy fruits, hard candies, saltwater taffy, jawbreakers, and the like. All by the pound. Not cheap, but hey! A great shop for when you wanna spend $50 on pure happiness.

Not to mention your specialty and novelty candies, like obscure European and Asian imports, and the 5 lb gummy bear.

I do have some complaints. Firstly, they offered a refillable jar that cost $15 the first time you bought it, jar & candy included, but every time thereafter was sold as being $5 per fill-up, your choice of any bulk candy. So imagine my disappointment when I brought mine in last week to find Lolli & Pops no longer honors that agreement! Boo!!! Now my jar costs nearly $10 to fill up. And to me, that's bad business.

Those who bought the $5 jars should see them honored. Wanna up the price for future buyers? Fine. But change the jar design to distinguish old jars from new, and honor the terms of your original sale. Bc quite frankly, I feel bamboozled.

Second, they used to stock the most delicious cotton candy, set apart from the rest by its depth of flavor. They've replaced it, of course, but the new cotton candy is regular old ho-hum, clawingly sweet cotton candy I wouldn't dream of spending $7 a container for. Bring back Li-Hing...

Lolli and Pops at the end of the mall was pretty "iffy", there was a worker named Cheryl or Sharon that I am referring to. I went to check out my items with her on 8/2 and she asked if I found everything. I told her one thing I couldn't find and she went to look for it and I followed her to see if she found what I wanted so I can pick the right selection. On our way back to the counter my son asked her about some chocolates, we ended up adding those chocolates to our shopping bag so when we get back to the counter there was some people waiting in line and this worker starts ringing these people up as if she forgot she had been helping me first or maybe even she is racist? I had to wait back in line. When it was my turn again to get rung up I asked her her name very nice to see if this was a complaint or misunderstanding, she answered with a quick question of her own. Before I could even process the name she gave me she quickly replied "whats your name" as if its any of her business while she is on the clock to know my name. I wont be shopping there any more. If you are helping someone while working make sure you finish with that customer before moving on to the next customer if good customer satisfaction ratings is what...

There is simply nothing like this store and all the delicious sweetness anywhere! Not only is the store clean and organized and filled with amazing fun finds for children of all ages (adults too) it has rare and unique sweet treats as well. But here's the best part about this store that keeps me coming back- THE STAFF! They are simply amazing! Great customer service from everyone at all levels. They remember their return customers and what they like. Customers are always greeted no matter how crazy busy the store is. Tim is a rockstar! He takes the time to show you new things and helps patiently with even the smallest most and indecisive customers like my five-year-old. ;) He makes gift giving a breeze, and comes up with great ideas for themed movie nights with candy that makes me look like the coolest mom ever! Hah! I had never seen any of the Harry Potter movies and Tim helped me pick out great candies for each movie as we watched the series. Hannah is also very sweet and helpful. Love this store! Happy to spend my money with such great products and service! Kudos to team Alderwood...
