This Sweet Factory has anchored this corner of Bellevue Square for as long as I can remember…read more Colorful, visually attractive, and I almost never buy anything from them. Oops, sorry, but they are kinda spendy. To be fair, their pay-by-weight candies are the exact same cost as Lolli & Pops and Candy Street in Lynnwood, which is about $5 per quarter pound. The weight adds up quickly. If any kid touches the candies, they pretty much will need to throw away the entire lot. It is an expensive business to run. I observed a child dropped a piece of jawbreaker. The lady immediately approached the parent asking to take the dropped piece. No yelling, no anger, just the right way to run a sanitary business. They have a huge assortment of chocolates, candies, cotton candies, and some beverages, too. Being Easter, they had cute sweets that are unique. I wonder if they will have after Easter sale. Hehe. Amongst their regular offerings, I found one of my favorites - dark chocolate malt balls. Theirs is a bit smaller than the double chocolate ones I usually buy, but cocoa is very expensive now. Happy to find something.

Very clean store and great nostalgic black and white theme for decades. Like that the staff wear uniforms too. Ya'ss. They always give free samples. I always like making my own 1/2 lb size boxes. Easier to pack and carry on plane. And they oblige me by stuffing them with whatever I want. It always ends up being over 1 lb! Heh! I'm a good customer and always take back special handpicked boxes to family and friends back in East coast since they don't have access to Sees store fronts. Donna a reg attendant is always friendly and helpful in making my special boxes. Always- I'm a FaN!!!

Not much parking in the area, so you'll have to drive around a bit and then walk over but plenty of shops and places to visit. Got a $60 box and came with 20 pieces.

I picked up a small box of assorted chocolates from Fran's because it's super popular in Seattle…read moreand I wanted to treat myself. The box looked nice and fancy, and I tried a mix of dark, milk, and white chocolates. The chocolates were good, but not as impressive as I expected given the hype and price point. I was hoping for something more memorable or unique in flavor--it definitely didn't stand out from other chocolatiers I've tried. Service was just okay. The staff didn't seem very friendly or welcoming, which was a little disappointing. It wasn't bad, but it didn't feel like the kind of place where you're excited to come back just for the experience. Overall, I'm glad I tried it, but I probably wouldn't go out of my way for it again. Worth a visit if you're curious, but temper your expectations.

But if you want a place with lots of "fun" stuff where they mix different things into the chocolate, you can get things kids will like, etc., then this place is pretty great.

They had samples of tea and coffee to try before committing to an entire bag which is pretty considerate. One of the workers was very helpful in explaining their coffee selection and how it was roasted. Yes, some items still have a mark up, but you're paying for the convenience of all the stuff being in one place. They can't exactly draw you in with a loss leader. I bought some Fran's Gray and Smoked Salt Caramels and I've been slowly enjoying them since!

With the rate of inflation, I say they are making an effort to keep the cost down. I must admit I have seen even higher lately. Yikes... I haven't been going as regularly as I have in the past because of cost. On June 4th, while at Bel Sq, I decided to stop in. A surprise awaited me. For the first time ever, they offered a discount! A purchase of any box filled with only "May exclusives" receives 30% off, while supplies last. Their smallest box is a 6 count. A box of 6 that is normally $18 sold for $12.60 with this discount. Every month 5 temporary flavors are offered as the month's exclusives. Since I love trying new flavors, this discount is a great for a snacker like me. The staff member said it was the first time she has ever seen this discount. Me, too! I don't know if this deal will continue in the future, but I sure hope so. Their shop is now on the second floor, by Macy's. Decor is different, more colorful, just as pretty.

The Amazon community Banana stand is just that, a banana stand within the Amazon building lobby…read morethat gives out bananas for free. No Amazon affiliation required. A very nice gesture, especially for those who enjoy bananas and/or haven't had anything to eat and don't want to purchase anything. The whole thing seems to be some sort of corporate gesture to seem genuine and motivating, but it's a bit weird to me and comes off like the equivalent to the often meme'd about "pizza party" that jobs give. I say this because they have the "Banistas", the people who hand out the bananas as extra friendly, which isn't itself bad, but it seems forced. It seems like they're instructed to be really energetic and engaging when it really isn't called for. The fact that they have a title and "bananagers" that bring up more when the bananas get low. (Yes that's the real title for these people). So no, I'm not hating on it, get yourself a banana. I'm just a bit leery of over cheery corporate efforts like these.

While we were in a bit of rush and making these items 10-15 minutes, but it was well worth the wait. For the tomato soup they offered complementary croutons and cheese - which is amazing. Their plastic utensils look extra-ordinary. So we thoroughly enjoyed the place. The store we visited in the mall has few tables nearby to sit which can be busy but if you wait around one of them will likely open up soon.
