Now that thorndike creamery is gone, this is the most central place in rockland to get ice cream (and gelato, they have both now!) She also had great window displays during all seasons.

The cashier didn't seem too friendly. He didn't go over anything with us or talk about the store at all. So we just grabbed a few chocolates. They are like the ones you get in a heart box for Valentine's day. Nothing in the store really stood out. The chocolates were okay, but I wouldn't go running back to get them.

Bixby Chocolate was an expected find when we were in Rockland for a cruise stop. Located off the…read morebeaten path, Bixby isn't a place you're going to stumble upon, but when you do you'll love it. The entry is located toward the back of a large brick building. You may think you're going too far, but keep going. There is a sign above the doorway and a sandwich board to help get you there. As you get near the place the smell of chocolate fills the air. Once inside the door it's like you're surrounded by a big chocolate hug. Inside the door there are a number of shelves on your right with pre-packaged Bixby products, ready for purchase. Chocolates and bonbons and toffees of various flavors and varieties, as well as peanut brittles in a surprising number of flavors. Further into the establishment you're presented with displays of various items for sale. It's not just a retail store, but it's also the Bixby Chocolate factory, where their confectionary delights come to life. The day of our visit there was no activity other than retails sales. After a couple samples I came home with a large bag of chili beer peanut brittle. I know it sounds complicated, but it is AWESOME. The staff at Bixby knows their product. Got a question? Any staff member can assist with any of your questions. Need to purchase something and have it shipped? No problem at all! They ship anywhere! Bixby is a destination, to be sure, but it's well worth the effort to find it.

I noticed folk walking by with bags containing their purchases, so I figured I had to be close. Bixby Chocolate was in an industrial area. They offered some samples and had a cafe selling both coffee and chocolate drinks. A lady even offered a ride back towards the ship with purchases since the day was getting a bit warm, and she didn't want the chocolates to melt.

They give the kind of warmth and above-and-beyond service that is rarely found anywhere. I had never been in the shop, but follow them on social media. Upon seeing some special cookies I wanted for my grandchildren who were coming to visit, I asked to order a few. It turned out that they were not available, but instead of simply informing me of that, the owner got in touch to offer that the kids could come in and do a pretzel dipping session. I was thrilled to have a little surprise for them. But that wasn't all--the ladies donned costumes for the Alice in Wonderland theme and gave the kids a magical experience. I was truly blown away by how much they put into making it fun and engaging. The old bank vault is absolutely beautiful. The kids went in and put on costumes themselves, posing for tea party pics and checking out the various Wonderland-themed features. These ladies are truly the sweetest and created a highlight of our grandchildren's visit! Now I need to go back for ice cream. Highly recommend!

It's ridiculously expensive at $20 per pound so I spent over $30 on taffy but it was great. The blueberry, watermelon, and peanut butter were my favorites. Blue raspberry (which is actually pink colored) was also good. I wish the pieces of taffy were a little bit bigger because they're quite small compared to the wrapping so a good amount of the $30 that I spent went toward the weight of the wax paper wrapping but the taffy is great. It's nice to have real homemade taffy and not that Taffy Town stuff that every other candy store buys when it all comes shipped from the same factory in Utah. Service was friendly. They should honestly be handing out samples of the taffy. They asked me if I wanted to try fudge which was alright but on the sweeter side but it's the taffy that was great. At first I only bought a small bag with a few pieces in it just to make sure I liked it, and I loved it. Taffy is soft and flavorful and real.
