According to their listed hours, they should have been open. Really frustrating when you're traveling and plan your stop around a place.

Fix your hours or actually follow them -- either way, visitors deserve better than a locked door.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

I got a package of three and Steve and I shared this little box with great enthusiasm! As one would hope there is the smooth chocolate flavor with a notch of heat and spice to really add some fun complexity to it. I love chocolate candies with a spicy heat anyway and I give my ringing endorsement on what Whimsey Chocolate produces! Delicious and I can't wait until I have the opportunity to get more!

I was then told to "scoot up" so there would be "more parking," which would've put me past the sign, into a no-parking zone, and right at a turn--you know, breaking the law and increasing the chances of my car getting clipped. Before I could even finish explaining this, I was cut off with "Whatever dude, do whatever you want." Real welcoming. The dirty looks while she continued setting up sealed it. If this is the hospitality before opening, I can't imagine what it's like once they're busy. Hard pass.

We…read morewere just looking around but the friendly cashier offered us to try a sample of anything we were interested in, so I decided on the brown butter flavor. I'm so glad I tried it because I hadn't been planning to get anything but once I tasted it, it had me SOLD. I was so sad when I finished the bar even though I was savoring it like Charlie from the Chocolate Factory book BUT I'm buying a whole bunch for my family's stocking stuffers for Christmas (they each picked out their own flavor and I'll order them all together) and for my own Christmas presents, hehe. So excited to try more flavors but mainly, to have my favorite brown butter chocolate again! Really high quality chocolate, have never experienced such a rich and complex taste in chocolate that melts so beautifully in my mouth. Normally I'm a die hard dark chocolate fan but the brown butter milk chocolate is so rich that it gives dark chocolate vibes. PS Thanks to the sweet cashier for changing my chocolate life forever!!

Cute place packed full of unique gifts...great Christmas gift potential: ornaments, jewelry, sweets, art. As for the chocolates, they've got a decent sized selection displayed near the back of the store. I needed 8 boxes for gifts, and not being a big lover of chocolates myself, I let the very sweet and helpful employee make the selections for me. They have a variety of box sizes based off of weight, and pretty good pricing in my opinion. Sweet place with great customer service! :)

In the display counter are yummy donuts and bars, some gluten free, some vegan. They make cakes, too! Columbia Gorge Confections is for everyone because everyone loves a sweet treat! I have several gluten free friends, and some vegan, and when they come to visit, Columbia Gorge Confections will most definitely be on the list of places I take them! Located on 7th street near Oak Streer, right behind Evoke Tasting Room.

I discovered this sweet little chocolate and tea shop this summer. I have visited twice, each time getting a different pastry and a chai. They serve chocolates, tea, coffee, cookies, coffee cake, bread and other treats. It has a whimsical old school charm to it. Lots of art, vintage books and an antique piano adorn the place. The staff have always been helpful, and the pastries and chai have been consistently good. They have good hours. They also have community outreach and offer enrichment classes. If I was a local, l I would sign up for a chocolate making class or one of their paintings / art classes. This is a great place to go for a break or to work remotely. It's definitely a must-visit if you plan to visit Longview, WA.

I've been a huge fan of the original location for a couple of years. Not only are they delicious, but their wrappers are beautiful too! I gave these away for Christmas gifts one year and it was a real hit. I had the opportunity to chat with the passionate owner, Hamoody. He's incredibly personable and told me about what the new location has in store. They have a soft opening right now (grand opening planned for the end of March 2025!), and it's even better than the other location. They'll be offering ice cream in addition to their chocolates. What really caught my eye, is the sign that said they have the viral Dubai chocolate.I even went to Dubai at the end of last year and couldn't find it! Hamoody told me they'll be creating a special fruit Dubai chocolate parfait-type dish. While it's not available just yet, I was assured it will be available soon.

After a while her regulars came in, so it's definitely a spot that locals frequent. I love that it truly is a diner feel. I got a cup of coffee (no fancy business here and I loooved that). The food was honestly so cheap! Lots and lots of it and we didn't pay that much at all. I got a standard breakfast with pancakes the size of the plate haha and sausage and eggs. The food was okay, but honestly for what we paid, no complaints at all! It was typical diner food. Definitely a cute breakfast place to check out. Portions were massive and it kept my giant husband full for our hike haha.
