    Came here for my birthday with some friends and had a great experience! The dude working here was very nice to us and even gave us a free sample of the chocolate caramels, which were absolutely delicious! They were so big and soft and chewy, I bought several of them, as well as a lot of chocolate. I'm already looking forward to the next time I can visit!

    Love this place even if only for the chocolates. Lots of other cool stuff. Love to stop here every time I am in the area. Service is also really good.

    This is a cute gift shop that sells fine chocolates and other candies as well as gifts. Over the years I have purchased an adorable easter bunny mug, guinea pig salt & pepper shakers, and assorted chocolates. On my most recent visit, I tried two types of fudge, chocolate walnut and turtle. Both are very good. I still have one of my guinea pigs, but sadly, someone who will remain nameless broke its mate!

    To begin, I think your response was rather insulting and condescending. 1. I never walked up to the counter, only my mother did. She said, "This looks like your last one, can you please set this aside so I can make an exchange." What in that comment is rude? 2. The young man raised his voice loud enough to make us and other shoppers uncomfortable. 3. Nowhere on the packaged product does it say "contact the manufacturer" we bought the product from your business, as a seller, why can't you contact them on your customers behalf and figure out why they are selling bad product? From a business perspective selling faulty product makes any shopper look at any of your products as potentially faulty and untrustworthy. 4. The young man also accused my mother of lying, when she is a regular who spends money at your small business why would she lie about a $30.00 spoon break after coming out of the package. 5. You might have been actively listening, but the young man continued to interrupt, and talk over her in an aggressive tone. 6. I never said you were a big name company, and that's just why every customer matters. 7. Take some responsibility and ownership for displaying products that are defective, you contact the manufacturer and fix the problem. I hope this $30 spoon, bad attitude and condescending message was worth losing a reliable customer (and some).

    Mystery signage

    Sitting outside the shop waiting to see if they will in fact be open today. " Will be back in 15 minutes" From when? I've waited 15 already. Dialing their phone number gives me a wonky message about entering my access code. Frustrating.

    Gift of handmade chocolates - Xmas 2016
    Shanna K.

    A lovely box of handmade chocolates from Gourmet Works was given to me for Xmas this year and they are delightful. Beautiful to look at, not overwhelmingly sweet and generously sized. A special treat for sure.

It's probably the best bet to get a gift that is cute and unique but you want it to lean more towards being western and not too kawaii and anime. Think of gifting a punny keychain or cute Jellycat versus a Chiikawa plushie or anime acrylic if that makes sense. Meaning that it's probably easier and maybe more acceptable to get a slightly more normie a gift here than it is elsewhere. As you can see, I'm learning what it's like to touch grass and re-integrate into human society. There's a good number of plushies, Jellycat and unique ones like a pink fairy armadillo mole one, tote bags and socks, nice range of jewelry, lots of California themed goods if you're looking for souvenirs that aren't mega generic, and they have a lot of other items as well. As with the quality and high regard some of these items have (Jellycats are NOT cheap), it can be a bit pricier, so make sure that you shop around and check prices elsewhere and that you actually truly care about the person you're getting stuff for and it's not a forced obligation one (family member you're ugh with or coworker Secret Santa that you barely know). Maybe a couple cute things I had my eye on, but it wasn't really for me (speaks volumes about me), but I can see how a store like this works in a pinch if you're gift shopping.

My wife, 2 young boys and I went in on a Sunday evening to get some stocking stuffers for family and friends. We expected a normal typical night of just doing errands and going home. Instead we were greeted by Saundra whom not only smiled but warmly conversed with us. It was not forced but felt genuinely sincere. In a current world of this geo political climate, to have someone be so kind to out minority family just made our night. We went in to buy snacks and all left smiling, warm hearted and happy. God bless you Saundra (and your mom whom you spoke about at check out as well). The world needs people like you and you deserve all the absolute best. I hope management and whomever else that works there sees this. She is an absolute gem, please treat her well.

Got a couple of my faves, keogh's irish butter potato chips and laceys dark chocolate and almond toffee wafers. No line at the front register. But the worker did the strangest thing. She tried to squish the brittle cookies and multiple large packages of chips into a tiny paper bag half the size of my puchased items (there were clearly bigger regular-sized bags available right next to her). I ended up just holding some of the snacks separately. Luckily my car was parked close by, as there were plenty of spaces available in the lot.

    WOW! My new favorite shop! Dried to come during Covid and they'd closed and I only stumbled upon it…read moreaccidentally this time while on my way to the Apricot Stand that's across the street. GIFTS: I was so shocked at all the gift options in this place! And I almost didn't go in because it's located INSIDE the community senior center. But I found the things they sell remind me of what you'd find at Cranberry Hill, nice quality, only this shop is smaller and the prices are lower. Gifts for ME too...lol. Given the pricing and cute stuff, I might have (definitely did) buy a few things for myself too. EASY TO FIND: Anyway, it was easy to find, they had a sign. You just turn right as soon as when you walk in the double doors and they're right there. The center is that huge lot by the duck park, and the senior center is at the far back of the lot. PRICES: They really have a wide range of pricing because of their selection so I feel I can easily find something price appropriate for the person I'm buying for. They had a ton of small things under $5 (even $2 and $3 dollar things) like little mats for under your coffee mugs, but higher end like the amazing colorful hand knit scarf I bought...for myself. It was hand knit with that extra thin yarn...a million stitches and only $45?! Bring on fall! CARDS?! What? YES and so cheap (good riddance Hallmark). Tons of cards like those high end Papyrus ones at the store that are more like a part of the gift, only these started at only $3.50 a card. Crazy. HAND-CRAFTED: Sometimes I think "church bizarre" when I hear that, but they said everything in there was hand made and it looked so professional to me. SELECTION: They fit a lot of stuff in that little shop. Candles, paper art, purses/bags, jewelry and lots of beaded things, knit things, towels, even children's stuff, and a ton of hand sewn gifts like placement settings, and cup holders, etc. Even some of the jewelry (Pom-Pom key chains and seed bead stuff) were teen friendly, along with some of the fairytale paper art boxes. TWO CRAFT FAIRS: They were advertising a craft fair and said they do two a year, in May and November and that it's supposed to be huge with tons more stuff, so I'll be heading back for that. MEN: Honestly, this seems is a great place to men to find gifts for the various ladies in their lives.

    This place is awesome! Everything is handmade and good quality. I especially like the stuff with…read morethe LX label inside.
