I need to go back soon and get some treats for my family. Great place to go for holiday treats as they always have something festive for the next holiday. I hope they are open for many, many years to come! Cannot say enough good things about this wonderful shop. I would much rather support a local business first. Small business is very important to the economy and I appreciate all of the hard work these amazing people put in to build their business and keeping it active everyday, especially in these trying pandemic times. It can be scary to even go in stores but this one feels very safe to me. I saw their name on the Grubhub app, too! Would love to try chocolate delivery!! Will have to check that out. :-)

I have to admit that I do have quite a sweet tooth for chocolates, especially the homemade…read morechocolates. While I was in Mechanicville very recently, I decided to check out Park Avenue Confectionary to pick up a box of gourmet truffles for MOI- I heart truffles! I deserve a nice treat every now and then. This little chocolate and confectionary shop stocks homemade chocolates and candies including chocolate bars (white, milk chocolate, dark, etc), lollipops, special themes (molded chocolates), bagged chocolate covered candies, chocolate covered pretzels, dgift boxes, and baskets. They also carry sugar free varieties too. The prices here are very fair: $9.95/lb for chocolates and $14.95/lb for truffles. I've been to other chocolate shops near my home,, some of which charge almost double. The owner was very accomodating in helping me to customize and choose an assortment of truffles (24 pieces/12 oz box). There were around 20 choices of truffles to choose from, and I was pointing out what I wanted from outside the glass case. This was like choosing what kinds of donuts I wanted for an assortment (give me one glazed, two jelly, three cruellers, etc), you get the idea. The total came out to just under $14 with tax. I brought the box of truffles into work for ME to indulge on while I was crunching numbers and calculations at my desk (my coworkers are on their New Year's diet, hehe). Each of the truffles tasted very fresh and had a nice hard shell outside with creamy and rich ganache inside. The hazelnut was my favorite. The truffles went well with my daily cup of Starbucks Coffee. It took me the whole week to finish the box, munching on a few pieces each day. What a sweet week! Major credit cards accepted (including AMEX). CLOSED on Sundays

This is a fun place. It's got almost a little bit of everything. Plenty of beverages, snacks, dish…read moreware, kitchen supplies and beauty aids, but it seems that toys take up about half of the store. The word has gotten out about the toys because many families show up. I grew up on Sanrio toys and Hello Kitty has always been one of my favs. You'll find plenty of Hello Kitty and friends merch but I've noticed that they've already run out of some items and not restocked. There's no staff on the floor to offer assistance. Since many of the products are not labeled in English, only Japanese, they really need more customer support. Also, please fix the token changer, which has been broken for several days. The entire front portion of the store is dedicated to machinery that only accepts tokens including the arcade-style claw machines and small toys /key chains dispensers. I saw people wandering through the aisles looking really confused since dozens upon dozens of machines in this section are unplayable if customers can't change their dollars into tokens. There's no one around to even explain that to them. I did, however, enjoy buying snacks. The spicy potato sticks may be my favorite. I look forward to trying the new foods they plan to bring in. I wish they could offer full meals. I mistakenly thought the store would look more like a Japanese version of H Mart which is Korean and truly has everything. Still, Ebisu's arrival to the Capital Region gives shoppers more variety and options, which is great.

They have a wide variety of items from all kinds of food and drink to household items and cosmetics. They also have figurines, cards and plushies. My son loves Japan so he especially enjoyed our visit. It's expensive and I spent over $50 on the first visit and they included a few freebies. Check it out!

I do think the selection has always been great, and I appreciate the emphasis on supporting local work, although that also seems to have changed a bit since the change. It is a pricey location for most things, but I do always enjoy seeing what is in the store, the card selection is consistently excellent, and it is a great place to find a gift!

I tried a sample of the almond butter crunch and decided to bring some home with me too. It's the best butter crunch I have ever had that I couldn't even wait to have another piece until I got home. The Bon bons are so pretty and delectable. I picked the milk ganache, dark ganche, raspberry, hazelnut and strawberry cheesecake. The raspberry was my favorite. So glad to have a chocolate place close by. I will be back soon, I can't live without that butter crunch!

They have a really cute gift shop. The staff is really nice. That being said I don't think I've ever really liked a breakfast sandwiches and I went there for breakfast yesterday and you go and you put your order in at one counter and then you bring your ticket to another window and then they call your number and you get your food. I got one egg cuz I didn't want a lot I wanted toast I only wanted one toes but they do two toes and hash browns it's one order wasn't a huge order everything was $16 including the egg toast bacon a soda 20 oz in a Mallo cup. I suppose it wouldn't have been so bad if I liked it. The bacon was not good. It was very greasy and kind of also dry and gritty. The egg had no seasoning. The toast was good the jam was good the hash browns were good. I don't enjoy them for breakfast. I did have the best fish sandwich I've ever had in my life there a long time ago it was a special. Was that fish sandwich and had a yummy sauce. It's a fun experience to go there by do not like the breakfast. I couldn't get anybody to eat this bacon except the dog and she can't eat bacon.

When I say variety, I mean reallly variety! Dog treats, melted glass bottles, light bulb ornaments, crocheted socks, amber jewelry, a clock that runs on water, a barber chair, pasta sauce, a heart made out of wine corks, fashion clothing designed just for you, Americana, hats for Saratoga track season, sparklers, polymer clay jewelry, and artwork made out of bent forks. What this translates into is that you KNOW you will find something when you walk in, because the interests are so wide. Regarding the start-ups, it's neat for them to have a place to launch their businesses while having some support or infrastructure at the same time. I wish there were more places like this.
