Six of the Best Lolly Shops In And Around Melbourne

Let’s face it, we all go a little bit bonkers for a great lolly shop, especially if you’re a kid. It’s not just the abundant colourful delights that tickle our fancy, but that irresistible smell of sugar has a tendency to lure us through the doors, despite our best efforts to resist! It’s a good thing that Melbourne’s array of sweet shops is a great one, with many scattered in and around the CBD. Here are our picks of six of the best lolly shops around town:

Sugar Station

If your kids are looking to ride the sugar train, Sugar Station is just the ticket, and with stores located at various locations around the CBD, it’s bound to be one sweet ride!

Sugar Station is a fully stocked store, and you are guaranteed to have a hard time getting the kids out of it in a hurry. Products include Jelly Bellies, American chocolate such as Reese’s and Jolly Ranchers, boxed chocolates and bars, gummies, sours, sherbet – you name it, it’s there! You’ll even find old-school favourites like fairy floss, and salted liquorice (yum!). To wash it all down, a range of sodas are available in-store as well.
