Each gift box contains sing-original chocolate bars, NeoCocoa, sea salt caramels, and Christopher Elbow chocolates (which are macadeamia and hazelnut praline bonbons). Definitely worth checking them out if you're looking for a gift for one that has a sweet tooth! +gift boxes +beautifully packaged

This is my favorite dessert spot in SF, hands down. It's…read morearguably better than Mitchell's, even though they serve Mitchell's ice cream, because it usually has a much shorter line and it's just so cute and old-timey that it feels like a soda fountain from the 50's. The folks behind the counter are always incredibly nice and surprisingly patient, especially considering they take most of the orders from indecisive children like mine... There's a really lovely little bench swing in the back that's great for keeping kids busy or for photos. There's also a party room in the back that's great I've not yet seen but I plan to book it for one of my kids' birthday parties sometime soon. If you're near West Portal and want ice cream, fudge, or old school novelty candy (including Pez) this is DEFINITELY the place.

I brought my son here for the first time and his eyes lit up. Hell, so did mine! I am a candy-holic and this place serves up some delicious treats. From gummies to chocolate, to ice cream and fudge.. This place has all your sugary needs. Added bonus, they serve Mitchell's, and have my favorite flavor, chocolate caramel crackle!!! THEE BEST!! If you don't know, now you do! Your welcome. The young lady working today was SO nice and helpful. Thank you! FYI, They also offer private parties in their back room. They have different packages with one including candy-making, pizza, and ice cream! Ummm.. YES PLEASE! If that weren't enough, you could even have your own ice cream social and they can come to you with their ice cream cart. Love this! This place gives me old skool, nostalgic ice cream parlor vibes and I love that. Perfect little sweet spot.

I can't give The Candy Store anything less than 5 stars due to their incredible candy selection…read more I think they carried all the heavy hitters of Swedish candy in every flavor imaginable. We got so many different varieties of candy and everything was great. Only annoying part is they have to scoop it for you. Which I get in a hygienic practice, but extremely inconvenient to get a large selection and try many different flavors. You're subject to the scoop they do and don't get to really individualize your bag.

I walked in and the store is very cute. I saw on the Noah Kahan website they were a local business he was partnering with. They had special candy that he himself likes and gave me a free candy and a Noah Kahan postcard, too! Knocking off 2 stars because service was not good! 2 young women were standing around chatting. They didn't stop to welcome me in or offer help! We only talked when I went to the cash register.

The chocolate making kits were mailed out in plenty of time before the event and included the chocolate and other ingredients to make 5 different candies (even tiny tongs to dip with). The owner of the shop led the virtual class and was honestly amazing. He was super funny, personable, very knowledgeable and passionate about what he does. You know how virtual activities can just be...awkward? This was definitely NOT that! Now onto the chocolate - unreal. The peanut butter cups were ultimately my favorite, but I loved the bear paws and pecan clusters. The chocolate covered Oreos and strawberries were also amazing! It was really fun getting to temper chocolate and make all of these treats alongside the group! I'll definitely be buying some of the peanut butter cups to be shipped to my house soon!!

Service was kind. Don't Stay for Breakfast: Disappointed by this one, was 1-dimensional and no better than any run-of-the-mill ice cream bar. It lacked the maple flavor I was looking for. The only highlight was the crunch from the waffle flakes. Pavlova: A significant step-up from the other dessert. Visually, the pavlova wrapped around the presentation of fruit is quite beautiful. The pavlova was light, airy, and had a nice sweetness. The fruit filling was decadent, and added variety to each bite.

I love butter cream frosting but never had strawberry buttercream so I was skeptical! But yes it was really good as well!! The combination of both really satisfied my sweet tooth. I totally recommend and I also would love to visit the other location, ferry building. More cupcakes to feast! (I love the pink bag)

Wow I am impressed with their macaroons and the old fashion cupcake…read more The macaroons are different from others that I tried. They are made with coarsely ground almonds with the skins intact. They do not add any food coloring or processed flavorings, so they are distinctly rustic and natural. It is not sticky, gooey or has too much sugar stuck on them. I like the hazelnut flavor. The cupcakes are decorated nicely. Their Italian Meringue Cupcake is a rich Double-Chocolate cake with a light and fluffy marshmallow-like texture makes me think of a hostess cupcake. I had two yellow cream cheese frosting gingerbread cupcakes, raspberry chocolate and strawberry vanilla cupcake. I am happy with the selection I received which is a great way to try and determine if this bakery knows how to make a good cupcake. I enjoyed their carrot cake cupcake. All cupcakes were nice and moist, the frosting is always the key to a good cupcake. Thank you and I hope to stop by again and try a cake.
