    Dill pickle, cheddar and sweet/salty
    Judi B.

    I have been heartbroken since my favorite popcorn place closed. I've gone to other places and they have all been really fantastic, but A Sweet Experience was exceptional. We were warmly greeted by the owner, who quickly offered samples. I hesitated only because I really wanted to get a lay of the land and see what flavor options there were. The retail area is a relatively medium/small (smedium?) size, with a glorious view of the kitchen. The other owner was busy cooking up some fudge when we came in...so neat. Once we scoured the different flavors, we settled in for some tasters. You can tell that each popped corn is tenderly dressed with flavor that caresses each pocket without compromising the integrity of the popped corn. It's actually quite impressive. It's almost like they paint each pop. We sampled caramel, sweet & salty, white cheddar, cheddar cheese, peanut butter caramel, dill pickle and caramel cheddar. There were still more to try (next on my list is huckleberry) but we were full from lunch still. We had to have a secret huddle to make a decision on our favorites...we wanted to buy them all. I finally settled on the dill pickle (which was herbaceous and dilly, heavily coated with flavor without being overpowering). Hubby couldn't decide so he bought the cheddar and sweet & salty. On the way out, she offered a sample of fudge just in case we hadn't known about it. Now, I am one of those odd people who doesn't love fudge...but she said "chocolate orange" and I couldn't resist. Such impressive fudge! Not too sweet, soft and very flavorful...wow!!! Do not pass this place up!!!! They even have a rewards program to get $10 off a future order. This place is awesome.

    Sweet and Salty Amazingness

    On a road trip to Oregon we took a couple bags of A Sweet Experience popcorn with us. The bag of carmel corn we claimed for ourselves and snacked on it over a couple of days on the road. How we managed the self control I really do not know. Every kernel has a carmel coating that is perfect, doesn't stick to your teeth...it is so AMAZING! We saved the bag of the Sweet and Salty popcorn to give to our friends that we were staying with one night. They kindly shared the popcorn that evening as we talked and sipped on whiskey. Boy, does it pair well with a good whiskey. Next thing we knew the entire bag was gone and we were pretty disappointed. This is by far the best sweet and salty popcorn I have ever tasted. It is the perfect balance between the two making you go back for the next handful. If you are looking for a great popcorn this is the place. They have a wonderful selection of sweet and savory to choose from.

I had to buy four flavors. Because how can you choose just one. I'll probably be back here. Sooner rather than later because does popcorn have any calories? I don't think so. Also, I forgot to add, they have containers for any occasion. I posted a few pictures of all that they have. Great place. Check this place out.

I've been eyeing this place for a while since my favorite place I've ever gone for popcorn shut down. When I "popped" into this place, I was a little lost since I half expected to walk into all the popcorn selections, instead you get a view of the cooking space. I panicked for a second until I turned to my right to see the delectable bags of popcorn, all different colors and flavors sitting there in all their copious glory! The best part is that the helpful sales person generously offered samples, which was appreciated. I had no idea since they were hidden in a side room, but grateful for the offer. We had intentions in mind though and instead of splurging on samples, narrowed our requests to align with our mission - caramel and dill pickle! Dill pickle was lightly dusted with the flavor of dill, with just a kiss of pickle. Hubby opted for the salted caramel (a story twist!) and actually loved it. I'm happy to have another "home" to satisfy my obsession with dill pickle popcorn. Trust me, it's great! My only gripe is the clunkiness of the layout (though it is neat to see how they make everything) and would love if the popcorn bags had zip closures to make it easier to reseal and/or "best by" or even "made on" dates added so I can go by freshness. Regardless, I'm super impressed by the basic selection as they covered all the favorites with a lot of fun and funky flavors too. You must go and support this amazing place!

    What a great candy store!!!…read more First of all it is such a throwback to the original candy stores, I mean way way back. It's wonderful!! The store has bulk, candy from the past, and current candies like pez. The people at the counter were wonderful. They have soda in the coolers. Little gift packages you can fill and buy, boxes and pails. I got Keroppi candy. And a Pez for my mom I'd never seen before. Everything is so tempting!! It's a bit pricy though. Bring your money... if I can afford it, you can too.

They always have such a big variety of goodies. Walking in, it's hard not to get overwhelmed by all the goodies, colors and displays. We went straight to the display counter to look at the truffles and to see if they had the Dubai bar. We were the only ones in the store. It was quite weird not to see a sales associate for a good amount of time. We located the bar, she decided against the bar since she can get one local for the same price and almost double in size. We walked around the store and looked at all the fun stuff. I love how everything is so organized and clean. When you have multiple customers through out the day going in and out of a bin, it's nice to see that it's clean. I personally don't like candy in bulk cause of potential germ contamination. But honestly, I have boughten candy from this joint and I have never had any issues since they keep it so clean. If your looking for a small sweet treat, Lolli and Pops would be a great store to grab your goodies at. Our even a fun gift for someone that likes sweets. They have a little of everything which is nice! Customer service wasn't the best when we were there. But we didn't stress about it. Maybe next time customer service will be better.

The staff are extremely friendly and polite, and love their job. The table seating is ok, that's my only gripe, but it's minor and is expected to appear that way being an old fashioned family candy store. There is a certain appeal to this store that you cannot shirk from. Not only do they sell ice cream, candy, fountain drinks, and popcorn, they also sell Stuffed animals and letters/cards.

Sitting under the big trees with ice cream in hand is part of the charm, and it keeps us coming back to sit on the patio with our ice cream.

I arrived about 45 minutes before closing, and the young lady managing the store was super friendly and helpful. I explained that I wasn't sure what time they closed because the information on Yelp and Google did not match. She said she would update the operating hours to match. There's a lot of sugar inside, and the sweet aroma smacks you in the face the moment you open the door. I walked around the store, asked a bunch a questions, and then made my way to the gelato. The young lady explained that the gelato is made by a man from California, and it is brought in fresh. There are a lot of flavors to choose from, and they all look amazing.
