    Spring is here in Ohio!
    Jeff C.

    If you want to find the best locally owned candy store around you've found it Everything from retro to modern candy items even some international candy choices and tons of soda/pop to choose from

    Me sitting in Boyd's, circa 2010.

    From the cute exterior to the selection inside, Boyd's is a Toledo must. When I first moved to Ohio my mom found it on a list of "Toledo sites to see" and we all made a trip. The inside is very small and cramped, but don't let that deter you - every possible space is crammed with candy. From the retro stuff that your parents have probably told you about (or maybe you've told your kids about) to the newer stuff and even things I would never think of, Boyd's definitely has something for everyone. We spent well over an hour just going through the selection. I, personally, don't have much of a sweet tooth, but even just visually it was so much fun to be there and read the wrappers and listen to the people reminiscing. The prices were good, too.

    What a great new find. I went for ice cream and found they have fantastic gelato. I had no…read moreintention of buying any of the chocolates until I spotted the dark chocolate caramels so I had to try them. The service was perfect, they were happy to help, friendly, and fun. Price was right as well. Such a nice clean shop, I will return on my next trip to PERRYSBURG!! Thanks

    While the chocolate looks very delicious and artsy, I did not particularly enjoy the Gelato…read moreoptions. There were a handful of options to go with, but out of the three I tasted: apple, orange, and vanilla, they all had a grainy texture to it. Now usually, Gelato is not as creamy as ice cream, and it is served at a higher temperature than its cousin, in order to maintain that famous elasticity. But this Gelato was a bit flaky/grainy. I imagine it had to do with the tub maybe having melted with the constant opening and closing of the glass, or maybe or it was turned to fast, but it had a sort of ice crystal flake taste/texture to it. The slow-churning technique that makes the majority of difference from Gelato to ice cream just maybe didn't reach the level I was used to (granted I had lived a year in Italy). But unfortunately, the Gelato felt more like ice cream, while the rich flavoring and vibrant coloration was lacking. This is my first time there, and perhaps I just happened to turn up on a slow or bad day. Now, I did not have a chance to get any of the chocolates, but from their looks, I could see myself picking a few up. The gentleman who served us was extremely kind and helpful, and I did feel welcomed. But this review should be acknowledged purely as a reflection on my opinion of the Gelato. It was not horrible, but it left much to be desired. That said, I would not be opposed to swinging by another time I feel the sweet escape. I'll probably venture into the key lime truffle.

    I had high expectations. A minority owned business check. Especially a woman owned business check…read more Now they're on doordash, check. Checked all my boxes. So we ordered a little bit of everything. We got the chicken salad that I heard was really good. We got the gumbo which was the soup of the week during Mardi Gras time. I got some hot tea. I got some pound cake and some sweet potato pie. Now usually I don't order sweet potato pie from places because I'm almost always disappointed unless it's truly homemade like my grandma used to make. I have to say I was let down by this one. I kept trying to taste more of it to get some more flavor from it but it just was okay. I didn't finish the one slice that I got. The pound cake was okay again. My man loves chicken salad and they give you a nice Hefty portion here but he said it was way too many onions in there and he only ate maybe four or five bites before putting it in the fridge which is where it still is right now. The seafood gumbo was again average. My man says no comment lol but we go to New Orleans a few times a year just to eat. So this was a letdown for me. I didn't have anything great. I heard awesome things about this place. Maybe I'll come back and try the cookies but the desserts I tried here didn't do it for me and I wouldn't go out of my way for them.
