With its cream, pastel and gold decor, plus a giant gold gummy bear greeting visitors, pretty Lolli and Pops stores set themselves apart with a sophisticated take on the candy concept. With locations inside local shopping centers, Alderwood Mall, Bellevue Square, and Southcenter Mall, the shop makes for a perfect shopping stop with tweens or teens, bound to bring out squeals of delight and Instagramming frenzy. Think adorable, color-coordinated wrappers and gourmet flavors to photo-worthy treats like marzipan fruits and pearl-scattered strawberry bark.
Younger kids will go ga-ga for the gummy bear bar with dozens of flavors, giant lollies and tubs of cotton candy. Grown-ups, don’t leave without a couple of gorgeous French macarons and an artisanal chocolate — or better, a dozen.
Play pit stop: Bellevue Square is neighbor to the incredible Inspiration Playground at DowntownPark, with hours of accessible fun to burn off that sugar high. Check out Safari Play Space inside Southcenter Mall, and at Alderwood, visit Funtastic Playtorium for active play, rain or shine.
