On our way home from Badger, CA, it was one last drive through Sequoia/Kings Canyon before saying…read moregoodbye to the Sierras for my friend from France. Everyday we hiked, we talked about a dessert we had earned, then we'd laugh because there wasn't any around to be easily had. But I knew.... Leaving the park and heading into Three Rivers, there stood an adorable red and white "chalet" of delights where we could have some ice cream next to the dancing waters of the Kaweah River. We entered the ice cream shop, the furthest to the right when viewed from Hwy 198(Sierra Dr.), and were immediately hit with the aroma of their freshly made waffle cones and bowls. After reviewing their in-house made ice cream flavors, my friend opted for Blueberry Pomegranate Gelato and Three Rivers Wild Blackberry in a waffle bowl and I chose the Wild Blackberry and Raspberry Cheesecake for my waffle bowl. We made our way through the gift shop, the furthest building to the left, and out to sit on the covered deck, where 2 red Adirondack chairs waited for us. For me, enjoying an ice cream treat whilst sitting on the back deck overlooking the river is a part of visiting Sequoia. Reimer's opened this flagship location in 1956 and it's a special place where hand made confections, created with the finest ingredients and proudly displayed, are offered alongside delicious ice cream, sherbet and gelato, with seasonal flavors highlighting local fruits, like our wild blackberry this day. The gift shop carries some local items featuring Sierra motifs, in case you need one last souvenir from your trip. Sparkling ornaments and decorations are available all year and add to the happy and festive nature of this classic gem of a roadside stop. The ice cream hit the spot, but the waffle bowl is a true standout. I don't know the secret recipe, but notes of vanilla hit my nose and hints of cinnamon danced on my tongue. SO good! Until next time, Reimer's.... Cheers! "CC"

The workers do not communicate with you at all. They do check you out very quickly though but it was difficult finding someone to help out in finding certain items. The location is also very strange to get into along with the parking. Lots of items were also not labeled with pricing or had incorrect pricing for different items. Overall I would recommend giving this place a try given it is one of the only ones I've been able to find that has variety of candy. Considering the amount of people moving here from LA county, this place could make lots of money if they step up just a little bit. It really gives off LA bulk buy.

The coffee shop was fantastic, but DO NOT EAT the breakfast in the restaurant area. Oh my G-d. This…read morehad to be some of the worst food I've ever had. I ordered scrambled eggs with no butter and just a light amount of oil. They came in a cup, and when I dumped them onto a tray to try to eat them, an unbelievable amount of butter/oil poured out. It honestly looked like someone had pumped popcorn butter all over them. Completely inedible. The kids' pancakes were also raw inside. Money straight down the drain. The outside of the place is cute, the bathrooms are clean, and the shop itself is adorable with a ton of stuff to browse and buy. If you're stopping by, grab a coffee, use the bathroom, check out the shop and then run out of there before ordering breakfast. If you have kids, they do have an outside play area.

But on a recent Quilt shop hop, imagine my surprised to discover the Quilt store was two doors down from Stafford's. I think that was a sign that I had to go visit. The double sign was that the quilt shop gave away coupons during their event for one free piece of chocolate. So for my free piece of chocolate, I chose the red wine truffle. Oh my goodness, I had to close my eyes to savor it, the taste was that sensational! The shop itself is beautiful. It has tables inside so you can sit and enjoy their confections. All of the shelves are lined with all kinds of specialty chocolates. These include chocolate covered nuts, truffles, bars, Pops, and all kinds of delicious concoctions. You can order single pieces at the front counter for an individual choice and they will compose a box of your selections. They also had many, many packaged items ready to go on the shelves. The staff were friendly and very knowledgeable about their offerings. They were willing to explain the different flavors; the cost of a box of six individual truffles which you can select was $12.50. There's parking in front of the shop on the street and also behind. It's nestled in the Porterville downtown area with multiple Restaurants and eateries very close by. One could have a fun day window shopping, lunching out and then popping by Stafford's for a sweet treat and to buy gifts to take home. Absolutely not to be missed!
