Scandi Supermarket Craving? Visit Lollipop in Orihuela Costa

If you typed scandi supermarket into Google while sitting on a terrace in Playa Flamenca, you are probably after Swedish candy, not tinned meatballs. Lollipop, right here in Orihuela Costa, fills that gap with a proper pick and mix wall, Swedish soft serve and a fridge of cold drinks. You will not find flat pack furniture, but you will find every jar of salty liquorice a homesick Swede could want.

What Scandinavians Are Actually Looking For

When Norwegian or Swedish holidaymakers search for a Scandi supermarket around Orihuela Costa, they usually mean one thing: candy that tastes like home. Big supermarket chains on the coast sell some imported snacks, but the selection is thin and the prices are steep. At Lollipop we cut out the middleman. Our loose sweets come straight from Swedish suppliers, weighed out fresh at the counter, so a bag costs what you would expect to pay in a Gothenburg pick and mix shop rather than an airport kiosk. Regulars from Villamartin and La Zenia pop in specifically because the shelves change with the seasons, just like back home.

The Pick And Mix Wall Is The Real Supermarket Substitute

Forget wandering supermarket aisles looking for the sweet section. Our pick and mix wall in Playa Flamenca does the job in one stop. You grab a bag, fill it with wine gums, sour sweets, foam bananas and the salty liquorice that splits opinion between Brits and Scandinavians every single time, then pay by weight at the till. Most customers spend somewhere between four and eight euros for a bag that lasts a couple of days on the beach. Kids from the nearby campsites tend to head straight for the sour sweets, while the Swedish and Danish crowd load up on classic licorice pieces they cannot get anywhere else on this stretch of coast.

Soft Serve, Milkshakes And Cold Drinks Round Out The Shop

A real Scandinavian sweet shop is not complete without mjukglass, the soft serve ice cream that Swedes grew up queuing for at seaside kiosks. We serve it with the same swirl and the same choice of toppings you would get on a summer evening in Malmö, and a cone rarely costs more than three euros. Pair it with a milkshake or grab a cold drink from the fridge if the Orihuela Costa sun is doing its usual July job on you. Tourists staying near Zenia Boulevard often treat Lollipop as their afternoon stop between the beach and the shops, using us the way they would use a corner supermarket back home, just with better ice cream.

Finding Us In Playa Flamenca

Lollipop sits in the heart of Playa Flamenca, an easy stroll from the seafront promenade and close enough to La Zenia and Villamartin that residents from both areas treat us as their regular sweet shop. There is no webshop and no delivery van, this is a walk in shop where you choose your own mix and see exactly what you are buying. Staff switch easily between Swedish, English and Spanish, so whether you grew up calling it godis, sweets or caramelos, you will be understood at the counter.
