    Selection of caramels and truffles
    eve k.

    My friend was visiting from California and i asked her to find some things she wanted to do. She told me she wanted to go here. I thought of all the time when I saw their sign... Anyways, this place is awesome!!! The sheer variety is impressive but the flavor combinations are even more fantastic! Not to mention that the owner is the bee's knees! So pleasant and clearly has a passion for his work. One of the coolest parts is that if you get a box of various confections, the each of the little sections in the boxes are numbered and corresponding to the menu of chocolates so it's easy to identify which it is!

    The first time I came here with Beth Then i came again with my husband. It is a nice local experience to visit this little shop on downtown Kalamazoo. I tried couple of flavors one of these was the rose and raspberry Carmel chocolate. I can say this is my favorite flavor. I give it 10/10 The owner is friendly guy and we heard the story behind the business. I suggest this business to make more marketing deals and offers because it deserves to be known .

    Delicious chocolate and very kind service! This was our first visit and we were offered a free truffle to sample. We tried the key lime, espresso, and coconut cream. All excellent. We have yet to try the peanut butter and honey, raspberry peach, cinnamon nutmeg.

    Truffles

    The truffles are amazing, every single one I tried. And I really love and support their mission. Recommend highly!

    Fruit salad truffle! It's heavenly!

    I cannot believe that I haven't been to this place and I live around the corner! Thanks to Beth, I've made my first visit! Met both the owner and his mother. They are very nice and welcoming. Learned a little history and also what they do as well. I was offered a free chocolate for the first visit and I chose fruit salad truffle! It was heavenly delightful! I will definitely be back for more! I looked around and saw all the reasonable items to gift others as well. They have chocolates for everyone! If you are a chocolate lover and also support fair trade, this is where you have to visit! We love supporting local businesses and this is one place that I'll be frequenting from now on.

    Went to the ribbon-cutting for the new expansion to Confections with Convictions today. Very excited for them that they're expanding their space and moving into online ordering as well. Got to take a tour of the facilities (the new mail order area is houses where Victorian Bakery had been in the rear part of the building, and their kitchen areas are expanded now as well). Tried the vegan hot chocolate and highly recommend it!

    Another five stars because I obviously love this place. See how fast I came back? It is an honor to bring my business here. I brought my dad this time. He was so happy he got a piece for free for coming. Because he wanted more of the green tea. I had to make quick decisions so everything was green tea. Though I don't mind, but it wouldn't be a variety box anymore haha.

    Ummmm.... Delicious!!! On your 1st visit into this cute shop you can receive 1 free truffle from the display case! My son and I went for a quick treat. There were so many handmade creations to choose from. He picked out a white chocolate lemon cream truffle and I chose a milk chocolate mango, pineapple lime Carmel as our samples. Wow, so creamy and full of flavor. We then picked out four truffles to take home and share with the rest of our family. 1 salted caramel, 1 banana pecan Carmel, very dark chocolate and fruit salad. They come in a simple box with a sheet telling you exactly what you purchased. These would make a perfect gift for anyone.

We step in and nobody is in sight but within about 20 seconds someone came into the main room and greeted us. We were looking at all the sweet treats and settled on 6 milk chocolate peanut butter cups for 60 cents each. I enjoyed them, but it would have been an extra bonus if they had used sea salt like they did with different items and charged a touch more. Everything was reasonably priced and they had some unique items, like chocolate covered orange peels. If you're looking for some nuts, chocolate or gummies for your significant other and are in the Kalamazoo area I'd come in and check them out. You won't be disappointed.

Some things are made here and other things are bought, fyi. I do think this is info that should be apparent and not something you should have to ask, since everything is repackaged with their own label. They do roast the nuts and make the brittle there. I normally love chocolate dipped pretzels but the coating on those and the graham crackers is way too thick, disappointing. The whole point is to have the contrast between the crunch and the chocolate. The prices are reasonable and the woman who helped me was very nice. I would stop in again to try some other things.

Everything is nicely packaged and labeled with ingredients. The popcorn, available in both sweet and savory flavors, tastes great--much better than that break-your-teeth stuff you can buy in bulk at the grocery store. Around $3-$6 for a small bag that one person could finish by himself, the offerings are pricey. Again, I only shop here for special occasions. I love that they also carry a small selection of specialty sodas. I drink pop almost never, but if I see a unique flavored pop in a bottle, I'm suddenly all about it. Here I've found Jones Soda flavors I've never seen before. They also sell greeting cards. See? A very present-friendly place. I've always received excellent customer service. The employees are friendly and available to answer questions. You are able to sample any of their popcorn flavors. I do wish they were more proactive about serving their caramel apples though. I bought one and asked "Can you cut it up?" The employee responded, "Yes, that's how I'd eat it." You missed my point, sir; I wanted to know if you could physically cut my apple so that I could conveniently eat it on my way home. Oh well.

We happened to be in town during lunch time so Nate and I stopped in for a quick bite. Their lunch menu includes some sandwiches, a couple salads, pizza, soup, and quiche. I got the ham and cheese sandwich, and Nate got an 8" pizza. The food came out pretty quickly, and I liked the sandwich. It had plenty of mayo and thickly sliced ham and cheese. It came with a little cup of pickled veggies, which I enjoyed. I had a bite of the pizza, which was very tasty! The prices were great - I think my sandwich was $7.50. We also got some pastries for dessert - I chose the cherry danish, and Nate got the pistachio croissant. Both were very tasty and not too sweet. The vibe of this bakery is more old-school and homey than some of the more "trendy" bakeries that I'm used to - not a bad thing, just a little different. They sell loaves of bread, cookies, and pastries. I loved their merch, too - cute pins, hats, tote bags, etc. They have brunch every Sunday and they were swapping out some art while we were there. It's a cute spot and I'm glad I finally got to check it out.
