I have always been fascinated by Charlie and Chocolate Factory and the amazement of what the…read morefactory looks like behind closed doors. For about twelve years, I have made Cerreta's my go-to place to find local candies and chocolates to give as gifts, treats for my wife, co-workers, and me, and an all-around fun experience. Whether it is Glendale's Chocolate Affaire or getting local-made chocolate for any holiday, I've always had fun visiting the store as opposed to just purchasing their chocolates in local grocery stores. When you first walk into the store, you see the individual wrapped chocolates all the way on the left with the boxed and bagged gift sets in the middle aisle of the store, and taffies and other candies on the right side of that. Immediately to the right when you arrive is the factory itself and the entrance to their tour. Similar to Willy Wonka's chocolate factory, Cerreta's also provides tours of their chocolate-making process with special treats at the end. This is great for groups, classes, or families and always makes for a fun photo op and a tasty experience. Cerreta's offers candy and nuts, popcorn, barks, brittles, and toffee, taffy, gifts, novelty items, sugar-free items, merchandise, and holiday items, which you can also purchase online. When you arrive, you are typically offered a complimentary chocolate. On each visit, I'll typically get some gifts for out of town friends and family, some chocolates for my wife and I to share, and some to bring into the office. My wife's favorite chocolates are dark and milk chocolate fudge cream, dark orange melt away, milk chocolate raspberry melt away, and milk chocolate mousse. In addition to this, I also like white orange dreams, dark chocolate strawberry cream, milk chocolate vanilla cream, s'mores, and French mint. In fact, it is French mint that Cerreta's is known for. I have a conference next week, and I got a two pound box of French mints as a silent auction item for a charity fundraiser at the conference. You can visit the Cerreta's website at https://cerreta.com. In addition to online purchases, you can learn about locations around the state where you can buy their candies and/or chocolates, how to use the GrubHub delivery service, educational VIP tours and other teacher resources, and details on signing up for their newsletter to get the latest updates on new products and sales. Cerreta Candy Company is a family-owned business founded more than 50 years ago by Jim Cerreta, Sr., who moved to Arizona from Ohio. There are now four generations of the candy business overseeing the production and operations of the chocolates and candy. They are open Monday through Saturday from 8 AM to 6 PM and located in the heart of downtown Glendale with plenty of parking outside. The service is wonderful! I've never seen an employee who wasn't smiling working there. If you haven't been to Cerreta's yet, you HAVE TO go and check it out. There are gifts for any occasion, and creative gifts at that. But make sure you get something special for yourself when you visit. Enjoy!!

I've gone here for years…read more The treats are consistently delicious. Service is always friendly. They have a big parking lot, so I've never had an issue parking. They have tours and so many different candies to try and great gifts for the sweets lovers in your life. One thing that my minis are a fan of are the "make your own chocolate" so you can create custom treats. The chocolate is delicious and you get a decent selection of options to include for your custom treats. It's fun to do on a random day if you're trying to find things to do as a family or it'd be a cute day date tbh. Would I come back? Yes, always.
