What a great place to stop and visit when you're in Grass Valley! I had come to town after a hike and obviously needed to rejuvenate myself with chocolate! What a delight. Walls and walls and walls of homemade chocolates. Three or four shelves of a variety of black licorice, my absolute favorite. And three ice cream freezers. One for Italian ices, one for gelatos and one for standard ice cream. Staff waa super friendly and helpful, guiding us through all of the choices. My hiking companion and I ordered a whole bunch of black licorice, one of our favorites. He then got two scoops of the chocolate ice cream, and I got two scoops of gelato: hazelnut and salted caramel. The ice creams and gelatos were delicious. And the assortment of black licorice was amazing. We brought home a quarter of a pound, and quickly gobbled it up when we got home. If you're in town and in need of replenishing some calories, I highly suggest you stop into this delightful shop with the greatest servers ever. read more

This is an adorable shop! Before our trip we were told by a friend that we HAD to stop in and visit Lazy Dog. They have a great selection of handcrafted and packaged candies. As well as gelato and ice cream. We had just had lunch, so ice cream was out of the question, but we did choose a few selections of chocolates to enjoy later in the day. The prices were a bit high for some items ($4 for a tiny nut cluster), but most items were in the realm of what one would expect from a candy shop. read more

They have delicious candy and chocolates and so much more! Love the selection of gummy and ice cream along with gelato. If you like jelly beans you will find them here!

This is a really cute spot in a tiny town. When you walk in, you're immediately transported to a place where Willy Wonka EXPLODED. And I mean that in a fun, amazing, magical way... not in the "creepy dude at the back of the bus whose hands you can't see" kind of way. There is literally any candy you could possibly imagine lining the walls and shelves. The sight makes your inner fat kid giggle in diabetic delight. I got some ice cream which was rich, creamy, and flavorful in the exact perfect ratio. Do yourself a favor and stop in for some nostalgia and a sugar rush. read more

We spent 24 hours on an overnight trip and went twice to Lazy Dog Chocolateria. Our evening ended with the pleasure of picking out some dark chocolates while my husband picked out black licorice from their broad selection. The wait staff was great. The next afternoon we returned for gelato, coconut almond and burgundy cherry. They have generous servings. All was delicious. The shop and its windows are attractive and draw you in to browse the extensive candy and ice cream selection. read more

During our stroll through old town grass Valley, we happened upon this amazing sweet shop. It had so many things to choose from, my head started spinning, and I couldn't pick just one of the amazing chocolates or candies. As I drifted to the back of the store I saw all the amazing ice creams, many of them made in the house. As it was a hot day, I decided to go with the ice cream, and it was delicious! The staff was very helpful in picking something from this vast array and the smells of sweets create a wonderful ambience throughout the store. Can't wait to come back and try something new... read more

This store has an incredible selection of candy and chocolates. I'll focus on the ice cream, as I am a huge gelato fan. My friends and I went straight to the ice cream offerings (no tasters). I asked for some dark chocolate gelato in a cone. -No, sorry, we only serve it in plastic bowls. -How about a paper cup? They had a huge stack of them. -No, only plastic bowls. -I have to tell you, I am a huge gelato fan, but I hate plastic. Could you make an exception for me? -No. I had regular ice cream in a cake cone, but the whole experience left a bad taste in my mouth. read more

This place is just cool. The decor and the vibe are both very nostalgic. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, they didn't try to rush us in choosing our ice cream.

If you're looking for a uniquely sweet spot that keeps it fresh, this is it! Our family has been coming here for the past two years, and it's always a delightful surprise to see the ever-changing ice cream flavors that keep everyone on their toes. ***FAVORITE MEMORY*** One year, my kids decided to surprise me with a wicked twist on the 12 days of Christmas. Each evening, they gave me a totally offbeat taffy hunk from Lazy Dog that I'd have to guess by taste (like pickle or grass) which usually left me cringing. It was more like the 12 Days of Anxiety. Anywho, the relaxed vibe of Lazy Dog perfectly complements the playful spirit of their EXPANSIVE treats and chocolates. Whether you're in the mood for a classic scoop, some sour treats, or amazing chocolate, this place has something for everyone. I highly recommend stopping by for a taste of both nostalgia and novelty. read more

Great candy store and chocolate joint! Old vintage vibes, and great window displays. So many treats for the eyes and tummy! And it smelt like heaven in there! The service counter employee was very helpful and kind. I was so overwhelmed when I was in there I forgot to get a bag of assorted jellybeans lol. They have some really fun, interesting molds of chocolate like horseheads, etc. etc. They look like art you almost don't want to eat them! I wound up with a large bag of assorted gummy bears, and they were perfection. Piña colada was my favorite flavor! Also had to get a dark Chocolate covered cherry for the road! Will definitely be back here! read more

Allllllll the nostalgia feels in this cute place! Their candy selection and chocolates are incredible and their ice cream was so good! Get the Bing Cherry! The server who helped us and scooped my ice cream crushed it by pushing it all the way down in the waffle cone which just was the cherry on top! Cute little yummy spot! read more

Wonderful place! Picked up some dark chocolate honeycomb which I adore. Nestled into a wonderful walk way that once was a street. Completely redone for stores and a walking area, this candy store fits right in. Clean and busy place, I love the great variety of goodies. Seating inside is limited. There is some outside in shade or umbrellas. read more

Super cute dessert shop with delicious creamy chocolates and a range of ice cream to pick from!

The best salted carmels! Love the chocolate covered raisans, and even had PUPcicles!

I don't know if I'm just used to the high prices of the Bay Area but the chocolate here is CHEAP! We ordered three pieces and when we heard the total scrambled to get a bunch more, the fudge melts and lemon creams were especially delicious! We stuck with chocolate this time but there is also a million different types of candies including saltwater taffy. This place also has tonsss of ice cream flavors including sherbets and gelatos, and they also provide different prepared options like ice cream bars and sandwiches too! If you order a bar they give you a little to go bowl to carry it with for spillage, very cute! I'll be stopping by whenever I can going forward, thankfully they're open late too! read more

It was our first visit to the area, and this place was recommended to us, so we tried it. It's a wonderful place just to walk through, with lots of charm. The staff is very friendly and helpful. They have a great selection of all kinds of treats, candies, chocolates, ice cream, and more. We had some of the best pumpkin flavored ice cream we've ever tried! I think it was pumpkin cheesecake ice cream, but it tasted like heaven! Will definitely come back when we return to the area. read more

My goodness... if you love sweets or want to visit a place that'll make you feel like a kid again, come check out Lazy Dog Chocolateria! Layout is open, all sorts of candy from wall to wall, fudge/chocolate treats behind the glass, fun flavors of ice cream and gelato near the back, super cute decor and it was a bit of a sensory overload for me lol We weren't sure how the service was going to be since there was a huge group infront and behind us, but staff asked if we've been helped yet and then took care of us with our ice cream and candy requests. He also rang us up at a different register away from the line/crowds so I appreciated that. Typically when it comes to candy out of glass bowls/jars, they tend to be stale and taste old... wasn't the case all of the different gummies we got. Everything tasted like it came right out of a sealed package! My daughter also ordered a cotton candy pop rocks ice cream cone... interesting combo but fun! Definitely will be coming back in the future. read more

We had so much fun at the Lazy Dog Chocolateria! The shop itself is really cute with pink accents and an old school ice cream shop vibe. Don't worry, there is ice cream, chocolate dipped ice cream bars and all the chocolate and sweets you might want. I was surprised by how many different kinds of treats they actually had. I ended up purchasing a half pound of milk and dark honeycomb chocolate, a quarter pound of hostess mints, one of their fancy truffles, some vanilla dipped dog bones for Oslo and a black raspberry ice cream bar dipped in dark chocolate. Everything was delicious and Oslo loved the little dog bones we got for him. The honeycomb candy was tasty, but I wanted it to be like sponge candy from Buffalo, NY (which is similar, but Sponge candy is fluffier). It's easy to get carried away in a place like this, so get ready to splurge or come in knowing what you're going to get or how much you're looking to spend. The staff is so sweet and helpful as well. If you're purchasing items as gifts they'll offer to pack them in cute bags, but it does make it tough to sneak a piece or two to sample. We'll definitely make a point to head back next time we're in the area. read more

Terrible experience! My 3 year old was very excited to pick out a piece of chocolate. She decided on a peanut butter M&M cup. My husband noticed right away that my daughter couldn't even bite into it. My husband tried and he literally almost broke his tooth trying to bite into it. I went inside to inform the business owner as I don't think chocolate should be an inedible. Especially since it was $7.50. I spoke to the manager and she basically just told me it was solid chocolate. I told her that I understood that, but it still shouldn't be so hard that even a grown man and can't bite it hitting against the pole. This thing was solid. Please don't support business owners who don't care about their customers. Should have done the right thing and let my daughter switch it out. read more

First time here and I was shock how deep the store went. Bigger on the inside like a TARDIS . Lots of candy and lots of ice cream. I came for ice cream. When I get overwhelmed by choice I pick the first that looks fantastic. For me it was their handmade drumstick. It came in 4 flavors vanilla, chocolate, mocha almond and salted caramel. I chose the salted caramel. It was huge. I never intend on eating the whole as it was half as big as my head. . Super chocolatety shell, great ice cream. I ate as far as I could. Hubs ate some more then I knocked the ice cream off the top so I could also eat some ice cream with cone. A very nice crispy sugar cone. Next I might actually get some candy. read more

I picked up one of the homemade drum sticks from here and was pretty disappointed. The joy of a drumstick isn't necessarily the ice cream on top but from the cone down. The cone on their drum stick was completely empty. No ice cream inside and no chocolate lining (which means no chocolate cone bite at the bottom). Felt really duped for how much they cost. Wish I had gone for something else. read more
