Lolli and Pops Doll Shop

Lolli and Pops Doll Shop sits at 216 Brevard Avenue in Historic Cocoa Village, selling eighteen inch dolls and doll clothing aimed at young girls, in the tradition of specialty doll boutiques found in a handful of cities around the country. Beyond retail sales, the shop hosts birthday parties, tea parties, and fashion shows, turning the storefront into an event space as much as a place to buy a doll off the shelf.

That event based model is fairly distinct within Cocoa Village’s retail mix, which otherwise leans toward antique shops, jewelry stores, and clothing boutiques aimed primarily at adult shoppers. A doll shop that hosts parties gives families in Brevard County an alternative to renting a generic party venue, combining the shopping trip with the celebration itself. The eighteen inch doll format the shop specializes in is a well established niche in the doll collecting and children’s toy world, with dedicated clothing, furniture, and accessory lines built specifically around that scale.

Brevard Avenue, where the shop is located, runs through the center of Historic Cocoa Village and connects most of the district’s specialty retailers, including several jewelers and boutiques within a short walk. Cocoa Village hosts more than fifty events throughout the year under the coordination of the Historic Cocoa Village Main Street organization, and a shop built around parties and celebrations is well positioned to benefit from families visiting the district for those larger festivals as well.

Lolli and Pops can be reached at 321-302-8999 or by email at lollindpopsdollshop@gmail.com, and the shop maintains a Facebook page where it posts updates on new doll arrivals and books party dates. Its listing in the city’s official Historic Cocoa Village Main Street directory confirms it as a locally owned, independently run shop. For families in Cocoa and the surrounding Space Coast looking for a doll boutique experience rather than a toy aisle at a big box store, Lolli and Pops offers something genuinely different from the mainstream retail options in Brevard County.

Parents booking a party at the shop are also, in effect, introducing their child to the rest of Historic Cocoa Village at the same time, since the celebration takes place within walking distance of Cocoa Riverfront Park and the district’s other family friendly stops. That built in connection to the neighborhood is part of what makes a small, specialty shop like this one function as more than just a retail transaction for the families who use it.
