I have driven past this shop in Mt. Evelyn many times, always attracted by the advertising board stating, "Lolly Shop," but never stopping, but why should I, as all milk bars sell lollies. How wrong I was!




On entering, I saw a vision of sweetness just like a sweet supermarket.




Rack, after counter, after shelf of lollies await you. There are the named brands that you will find in supermarkets, then there are hundreds of plain packaged lollies of all our favourites and some we may have never heard of!




I even saw a display of cereals and tubs of fairy floss.


Red Robin have regular customers - as while I was there, owner Sam greeted them with "hello amigo."


Talking to Sam, he said Red Robin had been operating for twenty years and he was originally from Venezuela.


His daughter, Nina, said the family had operated three milk bars over the years.


Apart from the multitude of lollies, a freezer of ice creams and a refrigerator of soft drinks reminded us we were in a milk bar. I even saw some milk in the fridge.


Takeaway coffee is a specialty of Red Robin and while I was there, several amigos called in for their coffee, expertly made by barista Nina.


One display I will explore on my next visit is the shelf of rocky road, perhaps my favourite lolly.


is not in a shopping precinct but about 700 metres from the Mt. Evelyn shopping centre as a stand-alone shop joined to Red Robin Pizza. Ample off road parking is available right at the front door.


I would like to quote a small section from their website.
