Like many children of the late ’70s, early ’80s (yes, I’m that old), growing up I had only one life-goal that needed to be accomplished. I was going to find a Golden Ticket to Willy Wonka’s chocolate factory. I was positive that this was better than winning the lottery. My 7-year-old mind came up with all kinds of wild schemes to procure one of these life-altering scraps of paper. From eating my way through thousands of pounds of chocolate to bribing unwitting playmates to do my ticket-search bidding, I (quite, literally) drew up blueprints. But as every year passed without a sight of the sweet metallic shine, the dream was buried along with all other childhood fantasies in the sad graveyard with Santa Claus and Sasquatch. That is until I happened upon my first Lollis & Pops.
For those of you who haven’t yet been blessed by the Candy Gods with a visit, Lollis & Pops is the Willy Wonka Chocolate factory in store form. Manned by nostalgically dressed sugar fairies, the stores are stocked floor to ceiling with delightful treats. From champagne truffles to lavender bon-bons to exotic popcorn, the gourmet flavor options are endless. And best of all, the presentation is impeccable with all of the candies gorgeously boxed by hand to perfection. You will also never get tired of visiting this sweet haven, because the product is always changing. The treats are sourced from all over the world, both from famed and local artisans, and thus change daily depending on the candy’s batch size and availability.

Holy Moly. This place is right up my alley!! I have a sick addiction ? And no better place to enjoy that than a place that brings back memories! Definitely have to keep this in mind!
I always wanted to win a golden ticket too! 😉 The store looks amazing- I wish they had one in the U.K.!
I love chocolate. I will love to go there some time but my diabetes will suffer. Lol
Oohhh this place looks so fun! Like a fancier Dylan’s! I’ve never heard of it before!
So…this is where heaven is located! 🙂
I can’t believe that this heavenly-looking place exists here in Houston. I have got to visit now!
No, I’ve never even heard of them! But it looks fantastic. Can’t wait to do some research lol 🙂 Thanks.

This place looks incredible! I always dreamed of visiting Willy Wonka’s chocolate factory. I wanted to see that chocolate waterfall…how amazing would that be?
I have to go here! My daughter (7) would be in heaven, so would I!
What a cute store! And I love the packaging.
OMG, this looks amazing! Is it only in Houston, or do they have other locations elsewhere? If not, I know where my next trip will be to 🙂
It’s is fabulous! No, they have stores around the nation. Here’s their store locator: https://www.lolliandpops.com/pages/stores
This store looks amazing. My daughter is travelling, I am going to tell her she must check this out. She has always been a candy lover. It would be super if she picked me up some of the sea salt caramels, dreamy!
Totally worth some heavy mom-guilt tripping! 😉
