Great throwback candy store…read more You can buy items in bulk which is a great option if you are looking for party favors or to fill some holiday baskets. I bought a box of some local favorites: French Chews, Buckeyes and some Opera Creams. If your looking for a souvenir from Cincinnati to share with someone definitely stop in this candy shop! It was a neat step back in time as well! The staff was friendly and helpful.

And they sell assortment bags ( handy for alleviating the guilt of hiding some of the Easter eggs a little too well). The staff is really helpful and the selection is HUGE!

I actually had a snoball with ice cream in the middle, and strange as it sounds I've been thinking about it ever since. I can't wait to go back for another. There's a cute little sitting area on the side of the building, and we loved watching people. The store itself makes it's own candy, and while I didn't partake this day, you know I will. Actually it will be a great place to buy gifts when I need one. Parking can be problematic, but even if you have to park way up the street, that will help you work those calories off!

I knew this walking in and they seemed perfectly okay with my toddler "taste testing" while we walked around the store. This isn't usually the case so kudos for that. It probably wasn't too big of a deal because the candy is over priced and gets paid for regardless. My neighborhood candy store growing up was so much better but this was more about living vicariously through my son and seeing the smile on his face as he stuffed it with sour patch kids and gummy bears!

After failures to find a popcorn place where I live, I drove to Patty's on a Sunday afternoon when…read moreI was in town in February. Due to street parking meters, this was perfect as the meters are free. (This is almost like being in Chicago and going to Garrett's popcorn, except having to hop out of the car at the store and then stand in line ...) Patty's reminds me of Garrett's popcorn out of Chicago, but with its own charm. You can see them making/mixing the popcorn behind the counter. Unlike Garret's they have a huge variety of candy. The employees were friendly and the person (manager?), opened a bag of cheese corn in order to give me a sample. The sample was beyond generous. Finally a popcorn place that has wet cheese! I was super impressed and walked out with their largest bag of cheese corn, some cheesy grippo's popcorn and the Chicago mix. My family from Chicago were all impressed with the mix. The chessy Grippos was spicy and fine, but not my style. I brought a bag of the Chicago Mix back after two weeks to the wife. It was still fresh enough and disappeared quickly. I look forward to my next visit to Cincinnati and stealing away from the family to get some of this great popcorn.

Can you say Tootsie Roll pops and peppermints for days? And at great prices. Plus the owner at the counter was the sweetest lady to talk to. Oh! They also have spices that you can buy as much or as little as you want too. This store is just too much fun :)

Great locally-crafted chocolate bars, many flavors, welcoming staff…read more When we get to Findlay Market in northern OTR, Cincinnati, we visit family owned and operated Maverick Chocolate Co., since 2014 on the part of Elder Street along the south side of the market, close to Elm Street. The staff is welcoming and is generous with the tastings: four of us tried around ten flavors in all! It was a hot day, so this was our last stop by the market, so it would not melt on the way home. We got some bold Rüya dark 65% chocolate, flavored with Turkish espresso, with a touch of traditional cardamom expressing welcome. The cardamom flavoring is milder in this chocolate than it is in mideast coffee. That works for us. We got two with mild bourbon flavors: the somewhat-sweet Prohibition, and the lightly-orange seasonally-available Old Fashioned (reminiscent of the cocktail). We also got some seasonal slightly-fruity limited-edition Thailand 70% chocolate, one of our favorites. And we grabbed an assortment of lighter and darker sweet creams and truffles. We used to watch the bean-grinder in action here. Last year moved it to a new factory on the Licking River across the river in Lexington KY, a town where they also opened a second retail location in 2024 that includes gelato! The aroma here is lovely and chocolatey and roasty. The chocolate is divine.

I came here for the second time last month when I was visiting Cincy and I was so excited to go…read moreback since I had such a great visit the time before but I was a little disappointed this time around. First, the chocolate is still GREAT! No knock on the product. It was more the experience. The clerk seemed a little disinterested in helping me, which is whatever, everyone has an off day, but it was a bit off-putting when I was trying to figure out what to get and I was just met with a dead stare. The nice thing is there are samples out for all the bars so I was able to try a few things I was interested in without their assistance. Ultimately I landed on one of their peanut butter dark chocolate bars, a cacao nib bar, and a sea salt chocolate chip cookie for the road. The cookie was excellent. Really really good! When I got home I busted into the bars to share with my family. The cacao nib bar was delicious. But the peanut butter bar was....mislabeled. It said peanut butter on the sleeve but upon opening it there was no peanut butter to be had, which was disappointing given the bars are pricey. The chocolate was still delicious but I was bummed I didn't get to enjoy more of my favorite of the samples. So a bit disappointing, but ultimately the chocolate was still excellent and I'd definitely go back there. I just hope for a bit of a better experience next time.

I walked in and saw various kinds of popcorn on display and then I saw the menu and was quickly overwhelmed. I didn't know there were so many different kinds of popcorn. I've typically been a plain Jane kind of girl - butter and salt, cheese popcorn, and more recently Chicago mix popcorn. As I looked at the menu, the staff person offered samples for me. The chocolate gold is a future purchase for sure! The staff was VERY helpful. I got my Yelp popcorn - which is strawberry cheesecake. I wasn't sure if I would like that because it's not something I've thought about or tried before. I was pleasantly surprised with how yummy it was! I still purchased just a medium size butter and salt, a medium size cheddar, and then got a complimentary share size of their Windy City mix. Mainly because I was sharing this with some kids I babysit. This is a really neat store that has a really cool vibe. I'm not brave enough to try the mystery machine outside the store. But I bet it's fun!
