So I did what any normal obsessed chocolate/coffee lover would do and got the mocha with espresso. Again I'm about the overall taste of both coffee and chocolate minus processed sugar. This is amazing. Feels organic and like I'm going to have natural energy without the crash. Highly recommend if looking for some cultural medicine!

My friend and I came here after work last week due to some sweet chocolate cravings. As soon as we…read morewalked in it smelled delicious inside, and the store was very clean + organized. There is an option for anyone looking to buy a little treat varying from semi-sweet to decadent. They even had dog treats near the front! What caught our eye was buy 3 candied apples get 1 FREE. WE WERE SOLD! Soooo many options caused me to be indecisive. I was also trying to find something suitable for my chocoholic husband too. I ultimately chose the Cookies & Cream apple and Enrobed S'more. Our 3 other apples were the M&M ones which is my friend's favorite. These items were solid choices! I would love to come back here but not anytime soon. The customer service we received came off as if we were inconveniencing the employee. Yes, we heard her asking us patiently if there was anything she could get us but the body language was showing different. More so annoyed. It's not like we arrived before closing time. Maybe we interrupted their prep? Not sure, doors were opened so we came in. Another chocolate shop can have our business.

We ended up choosing an assortment of macarons and a truffle cookie, and everything was decadent and full of flavor. I also wanted to give kudos to the staff, who were incredibly helpful and kind.

Their professionalism really stood out and made the experience even more pleasant.

I haven't actually tried any of the chocolates yet, although I did end up buying the fall sampler box. It looks beautiful. TBH, the girl working on the counter was really abrasive and impatient with me. I walked up. She asked what she could get for me and I started to say that my mother was coming to town and I wanted to buy her something special and she turned around and started talking to someone else. Then when she turned back around, I asked her about the flavors in the box and then I asked her about the flavors and the other box that was for sale of their regular chocolates. She said that the regular chocolate box comes with a card. I'm like I don't see the card. What are the flavors in here? And then she picks up the box and then starts reading off the back and pointing to the case below to the different varieties. It wasn't what she was saying about how she was doing it, very quick jerky motion, and obviously irritated. I'm sorry, but I'm getting ready to buy a box of chocolates for almost $50 and there's nobody in line behind me. I've never been here before so I need a little help. That kind of place should have better service. Especially if they're going to act like that at the counter and then turn the little iPad around at the end of the transaction where it asks how much gratuity you want to leave. I left $2 which honestly was $2 too much. When we walked outside, my man asked if I thought my mom would like them and I said I hope so. And then I said, I thought that girl was really rude and he said she absolutely was! So not just in my head. If my mother absolutely loves those chocolates, I may return to the business, but otherwise I'll probably skip it.

Wow...too many choices of taffy in huge barrels! They also have some nostalgic candy towards the back left side of the store. I bought some different flavors of salt water taffy and they were all good! I think i picked out 5 different flavors and it was only alittle over a buck! Cute shop with a nice lady at the counter. Kids will love this place!

I'm unexpectedly a fan of salt water taffy now…read more On our recent road trip, we stopped by Sacramento for a night and bought a random assortment of salt water taffy from Munchie's. Munchie's offers candies of all types, but we were drawn to their seemingly endless selection of salt water taffy flavors. We devoured the entire bag of taffy during our trip. I love the cute shopping baskets to select all of the flavors we desire. With the amount of taffy we bought, the price was less than $14! Some of our favorites were the S'mores, Cookies and Cream, Chocolate Caramel Mocha, Buttered Popcorn, and Grape. They really know how to make an adult feel like a kid again.

Sweet Oven is one of my go-to spots for amazing Vietnamese coffee and matcha (although the…read moremacaroons and croffles should not be overlooked). Their coffee offers the strong, bold flavors of traditional Vietnamese coffee while also introducing fun and interesting variations, the honeycomb and fish sauce coffees being some of my staples. More recently I tried their seasonal jasmine matcha and persimmon matcha - both are delicious, with the persimmon matcha being one of the best matchas I have ever had. Service is quick and friendly, and accommodating to dairy substitutions. SWeet Oven shares space with the Sandwhich Spot, making for a clean cafeteria feel. Highly recommend this spot for your coffee/tea/sweet needs.

Summary: the drinks are unique, delicious, and the ingredients are freshly prepped for each drink…read more The black sesame hojicha, mango sticky rice matcha, and pistachio latte are stand outs. The people are friendly and knowledgeable if you have questions. It's family owned. Finding it is annoying because it's in a larger corporate building and shares the space with the sandwich spot. There's plenty of parking around the area, but only a few spots right in front of the entrance. Full review: Been coming here for a little over a year. Tried almost all of their drinks, cookies, and macrons, including several of their rotating specials. I've also had their savory croffle and it was delicious. This place is BY FAR the best matcha/coffee shop I've ever had. If you are a Dutch bros or Starbucks person, you may not love it. This place is not about dumping sugar into all their drinks. Flavor comes first, sweetner is secondary. Food/Drink: I'm not the coffee drinker, my partner is, and he rates his favorite as follows: 1. Pistachio Latte 2. Fish Sauce (it has a strong caramel flavor with a little saltiness, no fish flavor) 3. Cookie Butter 4. Black Sesame He's tried every coffee on the permanent menu and these are his favorites. Now for the Matcha/Teas. I can't pick a favorite, because they're all perfect. Not too sweet, and whatever the flavor, it stands out! For example, when they had a pistachio matcha, I watched them crush pistachios for my drink specifically. The flavor was so strong and they clearly know what they're doing picking these flavor combos, because it was excellent. I also love the banana matcha, the banana pudding matcha, the mango matcha, and the double matcha. But the star is the mango sticky rice matcha. I've only had it twice because it's a WHOLE MEAL in a drink. It's delicious and unique and the flavors are outstanding. It actually has all the ingredients of mango sticky rice, including cooked rice. It's amazing!! My personal favorite drink, that I've got the last 10 times I've visited is the black sesame hojicha. It is seriously the best drink I've ever had. Right now, I think they only have the double black sesame on their menu, but I've asked for this every time since it was on their specials menu and they still make it. The cookies and macrons and AMAZING. The s'mores cookie is my absolute fave and the damn crème brûlée macron is in my top 10 desserts of all time. The savory croffle is also a surprisingly good breakfast choice. I honestly thought there is no way they could be doing all of this well, but they don't put anything on the menu that isn't delicious and well made. Service: We've been here so many times that we've been lucky enough to talk to both the husband and wife that own the place. They are so damn creative and come up with the flavors for not only the drinks, but the pastries. They are both very nice. There are a few people working the registers every time we visit and they are helpful if you have questions and they're quick to get these drinks out even though they basically prep the ingredients fresh for each drink. Location/parking: This place is a pain to find. It is across the parking lot from the bank entrance, sharing a space with a sandwich spot. There are a few parking spaces in front of the store, but the parking on the main street is free. There is a lot of seating inside and large tables for big groups. There are even plug in areas at the bar like seating along the windows. Unfortunately, they aren't open on Sundays or it would be the perfect study spot.
