Lolli & Pops — Restaurant in Providence

When will your store be going out of business?! Store front is very cute and colorful. I was excited to purchase a gift box of fun gourmet candy for a friend on my way to work. Sales staff not at all helpful in this non-busy store. Sales clerk too busy stock shelves to attend to a purchase. Asked sales clerk about making up a gift box and he stated "We don't really do that. You can pick out candy and we can charge you for a box". I stated that there used to be gift boxes made up on display. Sales clerk states, "oh ya we had to dismantle them". Proceeded to chose candy for my gift box and asked to see the box size so I could gauge if the candy choices will fit. The sales clerk points to the box behind the counter. Asked again to see the box on the counter and he begrudgingly got the box and opened it for me. Chose my candy, about $60 worth, placed it in the box myself and asked if they had tissue for the gift box. Sales clerk states, "no we don't have that any more". Told him to forget it and went to Godiva where the sales clerk happily made up a gift box, gift bag with tissue within 10 minutes. Will not be back to this store and will not recommend...

Took my own candy from the containers and paid for the baggie by weight which wasn't too expensive. You can definitely get better prices if you were to just buy candy on sale at Walgreens or something, but then you wouldn't get the variety or the cool experience of walking into a candy store.

The candy was definitely good, but unfortunately when a bunch of different types of candy are together in one bag, the flavors and sour coatings and all that start to mix together so it's better to separate the bags if you're getting two vastly different kinds of flavors in your candy and pay for them separately. That's something I forgot about because it's not very often that I buy candy from a candy store.

Obviously, at the end of the day it's all just flavored sugar, but it was still enjoyable and a nice little treat. Some prices for other items are a bit on the high side. Like I believe they had a foreign section where there was imported candy which of course is very pricey so that's understandable, but some other stuff were also pretty common candy items you can find elsewhere so they were way too expensive to justify...

The store was great and had an amazing staff until the company and upper management refused to pay them what they deserved. Used to be a beautiful, top performing store but the company is awful and doesn’t care about their employees or their customers. They are pinching pennies refusing to pay staff and increasing product prices ridiculously high to falsely inflate profits. This company will go bankrupt AGAIN, and soon. Please do not spend your money here. There is better candy cheaper elsewhere. Please support businesses that actually care about their employees and...
