Tip: This store carries candy, snacks, and more from around the world…read more I was shopping at Collection Outlet Winnipeg and had just come out of a store. Across from it was Dale's Candy Store. I like candy. No, I love candy. I had to check it out, as it was new to me since I was last at this outlet mall. I saw Cookie Monster's Foodie Truck. It was a game that emphasized cooperation. He looked so cute on the box. It was nice seeing jigsaw puzzles, taffy, and gum on the same display table. So much fun! It took me a long time to look at a wall with jerky and popcorn. It was my first time seeing caviar-flavoured jerky. The popcorn varieties were incredible. Whisky caramel stood out from the artisan kettle corn collection. I spotted Smuckers and Jif peanut butter and jelly Pop popcorn. I had to get a bag. There was a lot to look at. This store had a bunch of scratch-and-sniff stickers, both stinky and cheerful scents. I got a couple of Dairy Milk bars that were imported from New Zealand and Australia. The pink lemonade and chocolate malt flavours sounded yummy, so I got one of each. I waited in line to pay for my items. I liked looking at Care Bears fuzzy backpacks and beverages in the corner. An older woman, who was at the checkout, was friendly and thanked me for waiting. She asked me if I needed a bag. I declined, as I had a bag full of purchases with me. I said that the popcorn and chocolate bars wouldn't last long. She laughed. I was right. I paid with a credit card. I tapped and the transaction was complete. I placed my items in my bag, thanked her, and left. The Dairy Milk bars were delicious. I loved the pink lemonade and malt flavours. I devoured both back in my hotel room within a couple of days. The peanut butter and jelly popcorn was excellent. The grape jelly flavour was perfect with the peanut butter, as you'd expect from this combination. I just wish that the popcorn bag came in a larger size. This store was a great find. I look forward to returning for more popcorn and snacks. (260)

I love Lindt, especially its outlet stores. This one is located at Outlet Collection Winnipeg…read more It took little convincing for me to walk into this store. A man greeted me and offered me a milk chocolate truffle. Like a moth to a flame, I took it from him without any hesitation, unwrapped it, and popped it in my mouth. Pure heaven! I browsed around, looking at everything. Moments later, this helpful man asked if he could be of any assistance. I asked him whether he had the no-sugar-added line of chocolates. He nodded and showed me the chocolates that went by the pound that were individually wrapped. There were also no-sugar-added bars. I needed a plastic bag. I had to ask this man for help. He was kind and got me one. Yay! I did a mixed bag of dark and milk no-sugar-added chocolates. I also got raspberry vanilla and milk chocolate popcorn. I went up to the counter to pay for my items. He let me know that there was a sale on thin milk chocolate bars. It was a reflex reaction for me to say yes to anything chocolate. I paid with a credit card. The transaction was smooth. He placed everything in a bag. I thanked him and happily left with my goodies. It was hot in Winnipeg. I made sure that my chocolates didn't melt on me. Air conditioning in the car? Check? Air conditioning at the apartment? Check? Take chocolate on the plane home to Toronto? Yes. I finished the thin milk chocolate bars before I headed home. They were just like the milk chocolate truffles, but in a different shape. I highly recommend the raspberry vanilla if you love raspberry with a subtle hint of vanilla in your chocolate. I felt fancy and my tastebuds were happy. The milk chocolate popcorn is my new favourite chocolate. If you are a popcorn fan, it's elevated with a popcorn morsel enrobed in Lindt milk chocolate. I'm drooling. Ugh! These chocolates travel well. I recommend taking them with you on the plane. They are valuable. Guard them with your life. I loved shopping here. My sweet tooth and I will be returning when we are back in the city again. (327)

Yum! Lindt packages are worth every penny! I've never had one I didn't love…read more The Lindt stores put pretty good sales on across all their stores but I fork over my money at full price too for my favourites. The assortment boxes for about $40 are a great way to discover favourites of your own. The store/mall gets ridiculous packed on weekends so if you can get there during the week you'll have much more time and elbow room to peruse.

Said she was going on her break and was giving me a ride. I accepted. Thank you so much. You saved a girl who was having a very shitty day!!!

I stayed in Island Lakes while I was on vacation in Winnipeg. The closest Starbucks from where I…read morewas staying was this cafe. It's located in a large plaza. No Frills and Liquor Mart anchor it. I entered the plaza. It was a sharp right turn by this cafe. It was tight to hit the cafe's drive-thru that I ended up cycling around to enter it safely. There was a deal going on where you could get a croissant and an iced coffee for $5. I got a regular croissant heated up and a grande iced coffee with a splash of oat beverage. I ordered through the Starbucks app and drove over here. I got a friendly male voice when I got to the speaker area of the drive-thru. I said that I had a mobile order and stated my name. He said that my order was ready and said that I could drive up to the window. At the window, he cheerfully greeted me and handed me my goodies. He looked at my nails and said that he liked them. I had Hello Kitty and blue gel strips that were over two weeks old on my nails. His compliment made my day. I thanked him. He asked if I needed a straw. I said yes. He was great. He hoped to see me again. So friendly! I enjoyed my iced coffee. It was cold and yummy. The buttery croissant was delicious. It was flaky, buttery, and paired nicely with my iced coffee. I came back a few days later to fetch my birthday drink. The first barista had the day off. I got an equally friendly female barista. I ordered a venti summer skies refresher. I also felt like breakfast and got a sausage and egg sandwich. I had also ordered these items through the app. This woman wished me a happy birthday. I wasn't expecting it, but it was a lovely gesture. I got my drink with a straw and napkins with my sandwich. I thanked her and headed over to a parking spot to enjoy breakfast. I used to get the sausage and egg sandwich often several years ago. It has changed. The English muffin is smaller. I actually like less of it to get to the protein. It's the perfect size for the egg and sausage. This sandwich was extremely cheesy. Cheddar cheese melted and stretched when I took it out of the paper bag. I still love this sandwich. It was yummy and hit the spot. The summer skies refresher is my favourite summer drink. I love it so much, especially with the raspberry popping boba. I miss this Starbucks. Staff were super friendly and they never messed up my orders. The drinks and food were yummy. (301)

My friend tells me they are their signature chocolate that have been around for a long time so they've had time to perfect the chocolate. She went to the store and brought be back a box which was a beautiful green box. Inside there were 12 chocolates. I love mint; mint and chocolate, mint tea, peppermints, and one of these really satisfies my craving for mint! Each piece isn't large but enough for 2 or 3 bites to savour the melt in my mouth taste. I'm not sure the price of the box but I'm guessing it was reasonable. I wish I could buy more of these without having to travel to Winnipeg but now I have a reason to visit there!
