The sausages come from Corralitos Market & Sausage Co, which are renowned in Santa Cruz. Roy, who I am assuming was the owner was very nice to us and gave the kids some free licorice. The location was perfect, as we just stopped by had a little rest and then continued on our way. It was nice to watch the boats in the harbor and check out the little water taxi picking up and dropping off people. Back in the 60's it used to be called Bill of Fare, I think it's rather quaint that he keeps the name displayed. Next time we will try the ones with cheese.

As a dark chocolate addict, I've been wanting to try San Jose Candy Kitchen for some time. I hadn't…read morehad any chocolate for several days, so I decided to have some delivered today. I ordered my favorite, dark chocolate almond clusters, as well as English toffee, chocolate peanut clusters, almond bark, and chocolate hazelnuts. It was delivered quickly and everything was nicely individually packaged. The two squares of English toffee I ordered were like two bricks. Massive and covered in powdery almond pieces. They tasted good, but were too hard and thick. I prefer smaller pieces of toffee rolled in larger pieces of almond. I wasn't too impressed with the almond clusters or bark, either. It tasted okay and had lots of almonds in each bite, but the dark chocolate was overly sweet and tasted like the type of chocolate used in grocery store candy bars, even though they make it right there. The dark chocolate peanut clusters were the best item. They had a wonderful touch of salt that was so delicious. I would definitely go back for more of those. Next time, I'd like to try a caramel apple and chocolate dipped strawberries. Both look scrumptious on their website.

So, we finally decided to go for it when we were at the mall at opening time and there was no line. We ordered curly fries with sour cream and onion seasoning. The first problem - they let fries sit for a few minutes while he took other orders. As a result, the fries were warm-ish, not hot like I was expecting with made-to-order. The second problem - half of the fries were over-cooked. They were crispy, like eating potato chips! The concept was cool - but the execution was luke-warm.

My toddler immediately requested for a macaron in which I obliged if she could promise to be patient as I did some browsing and shopping. Pick your battles folks, pick your battles. Lmao! This establishment specializes in all things sweet and delicious! The assortment of bulk sweets are plentiful and you are able to purchase as little or as much as you wish. Customize your treats how you see fit- whether your love involves chocolates, gummies, sour, sweet, jelly-filled, or even spicy- this is the spot for you. I appreciate Lolli and Pop having items you normally couldn't find at any random store. My word of advice: take your time to browse the countless items and don't be shy about asking for a sample. 5 solid stars for the young lady whom I recall was a supervisor or assistant mgr running the shift during my evening visit on 2/8. Thank you for answering my questions, being patient, and being such a positive vibe as a whole. 4 stars overall because there were a few questionable bins containing candies that should immediate go into the trash. These candies were clearly crusty, discolored, and abnormally hard. Other than that, my kid greatly enjoyed her macaron and the special recipient was WOW'D by her gift. Mission accomplished!

It was samples of their chocolate hazelnut which was delicious. The quality of the chocolate higher tier and you can taste it. You can also try samples of the other chocolates they have on display which is awesome. I tried their matcha dark and white chocolate fusion and it was so yummy. Perfect blend between the matcha and the chocolate flavors. You also can break the amount of chocolate that you want and it could even be as small as a sample size too. I believe the cost is by how much it weighs and the type of chocolate? I ended up getting the smaller pieces of the matcha chocolate and the hazelnut chocolate. It came out to be $11.47 for both the chocolates and I have attached a pic to show you. They nicely package it. I def recommend trying this place. The workers here are also very nice! Loved my experience! Also was here around 6pm on a Tuesday and it wasn't too busy.

I went to pick up some truffles as a gift and after reading how delicious they sounded, like a kahlua and orange truffle, I walked away with some for myself as well. So far I've only tried one, but it was so delightful! Rich, creamy, and full of delicious chocolate and orange flavor. I will be heading back soon to get some more and potentially more as gifts as well. We received great customer service from the girl working, she was patient and willing to answer all of our questions about the truffles. They also have gelato, which I have been wanting to go get for a long time. Sadly they close at 5, so I haven't been able to get it just yet...but soon I will make it happen.

They did not understand at all, and I unfortunately had to ultimately give up and leave as it was just not working out. Chocolate places that put cocoa butter and/or sunflower/soy lecithin are cheating BIG TIME. If your cacao beans are good enough, you do NOT need any of that hot garbage in your chocolate. This place puts cocoa butter at the minimum, I wasn't able to figure out if there were any emulsifiers like lecithin. All I saw were some glitzy decorated truffles that did not match what I was looking for obviously. Could not recommend this place at all to other Yelpers -- there are so many better fair-trade craft chocolate places in the Bay Area.

The produce section was not as extensive as those at other Asian markets, but it was still adequate. However, the store carried many unique candies and snacks that I have not seen elsewhere. Notably, sakura flavored products were especially common during my visit. There were two large sections dedicated to premade meals, including rice bowls, hand rolls, onigiri, and sushi. The rolls seemed overly heavy on the rice, with relatively little fish filling. The prices also felt somewhat high for the portion sizes. However, the store offers a 20 percent discount on sushi and bento boxes daily after 6 PM. I ordered the nigiri combination, which included salmon, tuna, and scallop. The scallop was plump, and the tuna was sliced thickly. The salmon was slightly thin but still rich and fatty. Overall, the fish quality was good. The sushi rice was above average, with a distinct vinegar flavor despite being refrigerated. The total cost for the eight pieces was close to restaurant pricing, though the convenience factor partly justified it. I would rate this market a 3.5 out of 5 but rounded up for the good sushi rice. I would recommend shopping elsewhere for produce, but this is a good place for snacks and premade meals, especially after 6 PM.
