Ok, so I saw this cute video on YouTube about viral blue cream chocolates. I loved the look of the…read morecandies and the process of making them, and figured I'd try them out ... just once on a whim. My wife light heartedly teased me, "you did not just spend $$ on a box of candy from an unknown shop on the other side of the country!" I was worried about them surviving the trip to Fresno. Well, they arrived today, perfectly intact with a tiny bit of chill left in the cooler pack to keep them that way. My wife tried one (it's up to four, I think, now), and then she wanted to know the name of "this shop I found". She immediately dug up the shop's website and began picking favorites. Hercules now has two solid fans now in Fresno. My wife has been looking for years for a chocolate experience she's missed for all that time, and these provided that. It's fantastic that you can order light, dark, or mixed as well as creams, nuts, or mixed to get exactly the variety you like best. We got all dark and a mix of fillings. They are perfectly sweet without being cloyingly so. And both the chocolate and the cream inside are so smooth without a hint of the crystalization present in even premium brand mass-produced chocolates (think Godiva). I should probably add that I love them, too. But I had a feeling I would watching them being made, so that was kind of expected. The red creams are amazing! There were some crunchy toffee ones that I really loved as well. I haven't hit a blue one yet like in the video, oddly enough, but there are plenty more to go! We will definitely be having more shipped out this way before the 100°F summer months make that too risky.

Holy mother of pearl I have found the Shangri La of the candy world! I am completely shocked that…read morethere isn't about a hundred reviews that are five stars for this location! Now there are quite a few places to get a good gummy around the Syracuse area, but none of them even get close to this place. From the amazingly bright lights that glisten off the crystal like coating of their gummies, to the wall of Pusheen products, everything is beyond perfect here. They have tons of gummies, chocolates, and all sorts of random weird candies to choose from. I will warn you, if you aren't careful, you will probably end up spending way more than you should when you come here. Yes the prices are a bit high, but I will not fault them for that. The condition of their candy is pristine and their location is beyond perfect. If you have not come here then you must stop what you are doing right now! Grab your keys, arm your sweet tooth, and prepare for the paradise of your taste buds.

Cute small business with a lot of charm. I had to stop here since they had a special for Matcha. I…read moream obsessed with matcha and it's hard to find soft serve around Syracuse. The staff was very nice and gave quick instructions to direct us around the store which had a bit of a different layout. We went on no weigh Wednesday, which here it has 3 different sizes for that. There were a decent amount of froyo options, but notably only one sugar free option so it was a bit limited for my partner. There weren't as many toppings as other froyo places in the area as well. The back area has a bunch of free to play arcade games and a fun vibe, with a lit up netted ceiling.

The whole vibe felt relaxed, welcoming, and thoughtfully designed for all kids to enjoy. The staff was incredibly patient, and you can tell they truly care about creating an inclusive environment. As a parent, that meant everything. The kids had the best time swirling their own froyo, adding toppings, enjoying the cookie cake, and playing the free arcade games. It kept everyone entertained without being overwhelming. The unlimited photo booth prints were such a fun touch and made the day even more memorable. We celebrate neurodiversity, and Luv Handlz does too. The space makes every child feel seen, supported, and able to have fun comfortably. Parking can be a bit limited, but there's street parking and an additional lot across the street behind Chadwick's. Whether you're hosting a birthday, grabbing pizza and froyo with friends, or just looking for an easy afternoon treat, this is such a great spot. Fun, simple, inclusive, and genuinely welcoming. Highly recommend!

They have most of what you expect with a middle eastern market- big bags of rice, flat breads of various kinds, lots of preserves and tea, a halal butcher, Indomie noodles, dried dates, spices in bulk, etc. Admittedly it's not very clean and kind of smells but I overlook it because they have what I'm looking for.
