Candy Stores in Boise, ID

“Lee’s Candies is a Boise family-owned and operated candy business that was founded by Lee Nokleby in 1947, using recipes his father developed. Originally located on Jefferson Street, in 1972, Lee’s Candies moved to the brand new Vista Village Shopping Center. In July 2024, they opened their second location in downtown Boise, right next door to another great business, City Peanut Shop. In 1983, Lee retired and passed the business onto his son Curtis, who continue to honor the family motto, “Never Change Your Quality.” In 2020, Curtis retired and passed the business on to a new family, father and daughter Ken and Katie Fernandez.

I have been visiting Lee’s Candies since my parents first took me there as a young child. The house made chocolates I buy today taste exactly the way they did decades ago. There are very few businesses that have been around for 77 years that have maintained the same level of quality they had when they first started. This is one of them.

Today, I was helped by a wonderful employee named Riley. He has worked there about three years. He was extremely knowledgeable about all the products and was incredibly helpful and answering all my questions. He did a great job of carefully packaging, my small assortment of chocolates and other items. The customer service was outstanding!

*Approximately 90% of the house made chocolates are gluten-free.

Highly Recommended!!!

Dietary restrictions: 90% of the chocolate they make is gluten-free

Parking: There is a free parking lot with plenty of space out front.

Kid-friendliness: They have a coloring station to keep children, busy and entertained while you shop.”

“High quality treats! Me and the wife were exploring and found the store, the person working the counter was extremely helpful in helping us find some treats we would like. They provided us with a few samples too”

“Spud yourself or someone else….Doesn’t get much more Idaho iconic than ICC’s candy offerings. Don’t get burned at a retail store, head on down to DTBOI and go straight to the source for quantity, quality and value.”

“Lolli & Pops is my favorite place to get a sweet treat in Boise. I'm having a girls valentines celebration and needed some pink/red valentines candy. The manager Piper was really helpful with making suggestions and generous with samples. At checkout I decided to become apart of their rewards program for extra savings in the future. Their app makes tracking rewards fun and simple! Regardless of the season or celebration, Lolli and Pops will be my go-to stop for sweet treats in the future!”
