I stopped into Red Wing Confectionery on a Saturday afternoon as I'm a huge chocolate lover, so…read morethis place was calling my name. There's so much to take in that I had to set a personal limit (though it's reassuring to know I can always come back... and I will!). They offer a great variety: handmade chocolates, ice cream, coffee, and candies. It's a little treasure for anyone with a sweet tooth. The sweet smell of ch plate fills the air and you can actually see stuff packaging the chocolate (near the counter). The only downside was that the staff didn't greet us when we walked in....we kind of had to initiate the interaction. But once we got talking, things were friendly enough. I left with a small stash of chocolate treats, and they were delicious. Red Wing Confectionery is definitely going to be a regular stop for me whenever I'm in town!

PRO TIP: a "single scoop" is actually two scoops, so you can add for a kids cone to get just one scoop.

We ordered six cupcakes, a chocolate chunk cookie, and a cute decorated cookie. The chocolate chunk cookie was okay, but wouldn't purchase again. We also didn't love the chocolate strawberry cupcakes, had an artificial flavor and a little too sweet. We loved the Black velvet, Bugsy, Boston cream, & Black forest.

Bulk chocolates, gummies, taffy and random candy sold by the amount you scoop, loved the mint malted milk balls! Packaged homemade peanut butter cups with the perfect ratio.

The coconut ice cream with chocolate chips and nuts was fantastic and the portion size was on point! My husband opted for the turtle cheesecake by the register and loved every bite. We will definitely stop in again if we're in the area.

There was an area (kitchen) where they could make some chocolates but none were in process when we were there. There was one employee who was moving a lot of chocolate around and just checked us out when we started walking to the cash register. Not friendly or unfriendly...

Well the chocolate they make is really amazing. 5 stars for that…read more This review is specific for the ice cream portion of the business. 3 stars for that, but weighted overall to consider the chocolate portion of the business. They don't volunteer that they have kid size, which is smaller than one scoop, even when you walk in with a two year old. I really wish they had, or given me more time to look at the menu to see for myself. One scoop is WAY too much for a kid and plenty for an adult. Maybe it's up-selling, maybe they just pounced because we were the only ones there. The ice cream is good, but oddly all of the canisters are covered so you don't get to see the ice cream, you just choose by reading the descriptions. Thirdly they have no where to sit. A tiny bench that barely fits two people by the ice cream and another bench outside. So if you have three people together, you'll have to split up to stay and enjoy it. Also if the third person tries to lean on the wrought fence outside the shop, they are going to fall. That fence is no longer anchored and will be a hazard someday very soon.

It was always a treat to get a huge, delicious caramel after a day of ice skating at Morehouse Park! Back then, the caramels were huge, and one was more than a child could wish for! At Christmastime my family always looked forward to receiving a gift box of the wonderful toffee that then came in big broken sheets, and we would savor each piece of varied size and thickness. My family moved down South when I was a teen, but I never forgot about those memories of how wonderful Costa's candy was. Thirty years later, when I had children of my own, I looked online to see if Costa's was still making their fantastic candy. I was excited to order it at Christmas to share with my Children and tell them about my fond memories of Costa's Candy store, and holiday treats. I was thrilled to buy boxes of caramels and toffee for my sister and parents to surprise them with the best of the best candy! The caramels are now made in smaller cubes, and the toffee is in perfect little thinner squares, but the TASTE is as BIG as we all remember! Now every year I look forward to ordering my favorites, and I'm always pleased that they are consistently as delicious as they have always been! Thank you, Costa's for the memories, and the delicious candy that is ALWAYS delicious!!!
