Usually, I would like a smile, or even a "welcome" because these people are forced to! But these servers? NOTHING. Not even when you say thank you! Don't expect a you're welcome.

We also bought the amazing rice krispy treats (dairy free)- one covered in jelly beans and one covered in nerds. Again, the jelly beans were so soft & fresh. The rice krispy treat was so gooey and delicious- I ate pieces at a time because it was so big. This store was a delightful find on a weekday when not much was open. My daughter with allergies was very happy to find some safe options. Will definitely be back next time I'm in town.

The chocolate tasted like quality and the pretzel rods and apples were FRESH! Words cannot express how good it was - try it out for yourself.

I hope it tastes as good as this location!

Recently walking down Milwaukee Ave after dinner, we came across this place--we had to stop by during business hours. I called a few days later and talked to Nathan...what a wonderful young guy! When we went in to the cozy shop, to see he and his coworkers, for gifts, they were so helpful. Buying a pre-boxed selection was one option or picking out some truffles, peanut butter "buckets, and other beautiful chocolates. The recipient absolutely loved them, thoroughly enjoying the toffee, the peanut butter confections, and the truffles---the dark chocolate lemon and the red velvet with white chocolate were the big winners! Seriously, think about giving confections and chocolates for the holidays, from this place! It has the small-town feel to it with the help, the location and the selection. Check them out for corporate gifts or personal gifts...they wrap beautifully! See them sooner than later, the holidays will be here before you know it!

It was nice to get to a free sample! I got some creams (strawberry, raspberry, orange, and lemon) and they were amazing. These might be my new favorites (Fannie May creams used to be my favorite chocolate but they have a weird taste now). I got chocolate covered pretzel rod pieces, and a couple of on sale Christmas chocolates: bear claw and chocolate covered oreo's. I didn't know what a bear claw was (or if I'm calling it the right thing), but they said it was like a bigger turtle. It was delicous. The chocolate pretzles and oreo's were great too.

Before visiting, I had…read moreexpected there might be a factory tour or some opportunity to see how the candy was made, but that's not the case. This location is strictly a retail outlet. Even so, we still had a great time. The selection of candy was excellent, and it was fun browsing all of the different varieties and trying some of the treats they had available. As expected, the candy was delicious and lived up to the quality we've come to expect from the brand. If you're hoping for a behind-the-scenes factory experience, you may be disappointed. However, if you're simply looking to stock up on great candy and enjoy a fun stop during your travels, it's definitely worth a visit.

This place has become a staple in the region and I absolutely love to see how they've grown over the years.
