The shop was a basic bakery design. Nothing that really stands out. They didn't have anything that…read morewas dairy-free or gluten-free, which is a little bit of a bummer, since they wouldn't have at least one allergy-friendly option. The cookies were delicious. We got a puppy chow cookie, a cinnamon roll cookie, and a salted toffee crunch cookie. The cinnamon roll cookie and puppy chow cookie were fantastic, but the salted toffee cookie was very me and something that you would get at someone's house that they made, not that gourmet bakery taste. It definitely tasted good, but other flavors would be more worth it. The employees were very nice. I noticed that they had a really cool option where you could take home raw cookie dough, or you could make cookie sundaes.

I'm a travel nurse and currently in So Cal, and historically I would make and deliver my own cookies to them. I try to mimic the Barbara's Bake Shoppe cookies that was an iconic bakery in the 60's thru 90's in downtown Iowa City. The cookies Heather makes look a lot like my Cookies, so I wanted those cookies for my family. She was quick to respond, got them Delivered and I paid thru PayPal. Thank You Heather and Pink Umbrella Bakery!

This style of cookie is normally a bit sweet for my preference, but Pink Umbrella does it best. The pumpkin pie cookie is adorable too, but I wish they could get some pumpkin flavor in too ;)

RUN, don't walk, to The Marion Chocolate Shop! This place is absolutely amazing, and I honestly…read moreloved everything about it. We went a few days after Christmas, and enjoyed our experience. The store front is very cute, and the interior is very cozy. But above all else: the CHOCOLATE! There was a wonderful aroma when you walked in. The owners take great pride in their craft, and it absolutely shows. They are incredibly knowledgeable and competent, yet still find opportunities to further their expertise. We bought so much, as it was hard to choose just a couple items. So far we have loved everything. One fun surprise: the chocolate covered Twizzlers - trust me, they are worth it. I think they would also be awesome covered in dark chocolate too. The chocolate espresso with espresso salt (I think that was the name - please correct me if I'm wrong) was AMAZING, and I think my favorite...if I *had* to pick one favorite. They have also figured out how to ship around the US, which is wonderful, because we live in Texas, and can now get their chocolates delivered to us. I also love how they care about humanity. I love that this business took COVID safety seriously during the height of the pandemic, and chuckled at the art that supported mask wearing and distancing, when it was very necessary. Plus, there support of the LGBTQ+ community warms my heart. Sorry for the novella. The TLDR version is this: great store, AMAZING chocolates, fantastic humans. Make plans to frequent this wonderful business.

These are absolutely the most delicious treats ever! I personally love the milk chocolate dipped in pecans and my kids like the milk chocolate dipped in oreo crumbles!

The checkout area has enough self-checkouts to keep things moving, although can get a little bottle-necked when the store is busy, but not any more so than anywhere else. Glad to have another Aldi option, they just can't be beat for the price and ease of stopping in to grab some things.

I'm glad the serving size wasn't outrageously large, but the perfect scoop, however for the price it should be more ice cream. This is compared to the other local ice cream shops and their prices for serving. Nevertheless it is amazing ice cream!!

There's a few tables inside, a row of chairs outside along the front, and a couple of tables and chairs in a side courtyard. We did not try the popcorn but a lot of people were buying it.
