Well it seems Elias Läderach is the only Swiss chocolatier to have earned the title "World Chocolate Master". Dang.. he's like the Rocky of Chocolate?! I have to make sure there are no nuts or fruit in these chocolate pieces. I walk in to, what feels like chocolate heaven. There are so many choices! The counter person was helpful, I explained this gift is for my aunt and needs soft, delicate chocolate pieces. We chose a nice size white box that was wrapped in black lace. Very classy and it was the perfect gift for my aunt. I was offered a sample of the chocolates in the display case, I asked for a champagne truffle? I can taste why Elias Läderach is the World Chocolate Master. That chocolate was fire! Great chocolate shop located in the Smithaven Mall.

I asked for one sample and then right after I asked for a second of a totally different chocolate because I wanted to compare before making my purchase. As soon as I did this she said "you cant ask for another you cant get 3 and 4 you would have to get the variety pack". I said I only had one sample so far and I want to mix and match my own chocolates. How dare she. This place is not cheap and I wanted to make sure I purchased something I enjoyed. I ended up making a purchase that I was satisfied with because the other worker in the store was kind enough to allow me to sample 3 flavors in all. Chocolate is fresh and delicious but this worker left a bad taste in my mouth.

We decided to stop by Kilwins for a quick treat and to check out the fudge. As soon as we walked…read morein, we were greeted by the amazing smell of fresh waffle bowls being made. The store is beautiful and well stocked with every kind of chocolate you could think of. The fudge was delicious, and the ice cream was the same great quality we always expect. My kids are very picky, even with ice cream, but the staff was so patient and let them try all the samples they wanted until they found what they liked. Shout out to the great staff for being so friendly and helpful. The prices were fair for the portions we received, and I loved the variety of flavors, especially the Key Lime and Lemon Meringue. We will definitely be coming back

Of course I had the ice cream. My favorite is the salted caramel! Yummy!

I had a half-off Entertainment (online printout this time; there's one in the physical book too) coupon, which was gladly accepted by the genuinely kind and surprisingly knowledgeable girl who helped me out. As always, I went with the unpackaged products, though they did have a plethora of those. She was personable and accommodating, but not imposing or pushy, and I ended up scoring 5 pieces of chocolate from the glass display along the side/back wall, which came out to $1.60 with the coupon. Bear in mind that these were devoured amidst a late night hunger-pang-turned-sweets-binge. The coconut chocolate cluster was tasty with a hint of welcome saltiness, the dark chocolate candied orange peel was a bit unwieldy but delicious nevertheless (and at least a bit 'healthy'), the sea salt caramel did rudimentary justice to one of my favorites, the dark chocolate marzipan was solid, and the dark chocolate raspberry flower truffle satisfied a fruity dearth that the citrusy peel didn't quite fill.

Please notify your server if you have a food allergy; they were very accommodating to my table with my food allergy and notified the kitchen staff to not cross contaminate.

The service was very slow, we were in for a good 15 minutes before we ordered and another 20 before the food came out. The coffee is very good, a staple that I'm a snob about. The waffles were very dense, too heavy to eat and they came out colder than I would like. If the butter cannot melt, it's not hot enough for me. Overall, I'd go by again if I were in a pinch.

Whether you're an ice cream enthusiast or just have a sweet tooth, Mickey's has something for everyone: traditional ice cream, cakes, hand made pies, premium pints, non-dairy options, and their famous ice cream sandwiches (yummm). There were so many flavors and treats to choose from that it took us a while to decide! I loved seeing the grab-and-go pints, such a great idea for busy families or for bringing dessert home. Before making my final choice, I sampled the cookie dough ice cream (which was rich and packed with doughy pieces), but I went with a scoop of Java Chunk in a cone with chocolate sprinkles. The flavor was spot on! A perfect blend of coffee and chocolate chips. My niece opted for her all-time favorite, cotton candy with rainbow sprinkles. The look on her face was pure joy. We took our treats outside and enjoyed them in the seating area, which was spacious and comfortable, perfect for relaxing on a sunny day and making the most of the beautiful weather. My niece told me it was the best day ever when we were enjoying our ice cream, so safe to say this place does it right.
