    Coffee and Candy
    Cashea S.

    Cute little candy store hidden near Broadway. The coffee was spot on and the pralines, while super sweet, were delicious. The lady working that day was super friendly. There is such a variety of candies to choose from and if you're looking for something quiet to take a break from the hustle and bustle of Broadway, this is it!

    Loved the pralines here! They let you try them before you buy too. It's hidden away from the Main Street but worth the search!

    Goo Goo, Ga Ga! How can you not like a product with Goo Goo in the title?…read more On this trip, I learned that this candy originated in Nashville. Gotta love local. We accidently ran across it while heading to the Lainey Wilson place next door. Once I saw it, I had to stop in. Inside is a homage to the Goo Goo Cluster with history, trivia and lots of product sold to go. I do wish they had free samples available. If so, I probably would've bought more product. We bought a few items as it was and are still enjoying them back home in the Seattle area. This place is fun to check out and learn about the Goo Goo Cluster.

    This is an incredibly late review as I visited the Goo Goo Chocolate Factory and Store in Nashville…read moreway back in February 2024!! But after seeing a Yelp friend post their positive review of their much more recent visit to Goo Goo's, I wanted to briefly tell the (Yelp) world that I also had a fabulous time at this Tennessee-based chocolate factory, especially in regards to their build-your-own Goo Goo Chocolate class. If you haven't had their chocolate before, the Goo Goo Chocolate Co was founded over 100 years ago in Nashville, TN and is unique for its disc shape, containing nougat, caramel, peanuts, and chocolate. These huge clusters are absolutely delicious and make great gifts! Surprisingly, it is only about 200 calories for the traditional palm size piece of candy. So of course, I enjoyed quite a few during our chocolate making class! I took this class as part of my sister's 30th birthday bash in Nashville in 2024 with my sister and her friends. For about an hour, our lovely cooking instructor entertained us with his hilarious wit, making us feel giddy and grand as we made some Goo Goos! While the base was the same for all participants, we could add whatever we wanted inside before our creation was drizzled in yummy chocolate. We could also grab some tiny treats to snack on too. I remember putting lots of pretzels, marshmallows, and many others things in mine! Best of all, we were gifted with half a dozen full sized goo goo chocolates as well as a branded apron that is incredibly well made and is my go-to apron even now! Then we also got a discount for the attached gift shop to buy some candy for our loved ones... or for ourselves! I bought a magnet and Goo Goo branded coffee beans. At about $45-55 a person, this is a decently priced experience I highly recommend for all Nashville tourists and locals alike.

One of the employees gave us a quick blurb on the candy factory's history: It's a family business of many decades dedicated to handcrafting a diverse range of Southern sweets and delicacies. The founder is Stan, aka "The Candy Man." Aside from the wall-to-wall and candy dispensers, SCK also offers Gourmet Popcorn, Pralines, Divinity, Cakes/Pies, and various gift ideas. I walked away with bags of some of my favorites - Hot Tamales, other Mike & Ike's flavors, Sweet Tarts, and Cherry Sour Balls & Jelly Beans. It was cool to watch the gourmet popcorn, chocolates, and candied apples being made. The sweet landmark you have to stop by when in Nashville. Just don't snack too much before dinner.

    I've been on a bit of a chocolate binge lately and decided to stop by Olive and Sinclair Chocolate…read morewhile we were in town. Per some sources, they are the first bean to bar chocolate maker in Tennessee, and they even offer weekly factory tours, although I wasn't able to make it in time for one. Olive and Sinclair has a relatively small retail area. They have all of their products on display and more importantly, have tons of samples! I ended up trying basically everything. The chocolatier doesn't advertise where they source their cocoa from but I asked an employee and she said they switch it up all the time. Apparently the current batch is from Peru, which gives the chocolate a pretty neutral taste at the start but then transitions to a kind of sharper dried fruit taste. They also sell several types of caramels. The Ghost Pepper Caramel starts with the caramel sweetness. It's only a second or two later that some heats starts to show up. I'm not sure how much ghost pepper they actually use; the heat is a bit more than just a warmth, but isn't nearly to the point of being painful. The heat lingers for quite a while, enough that I had to wait a good five minutes before trying another caramel! Interestingly I think this one has the "cleanest" caramel taste, at least at the start before the pepper kicks in! The Duck Fat Caramel has similar sweet undertones but adds on a really savory and almost meaty element on top. The Sea Salt & Vinegar Caramel has a light vinegar scent. It starts with sweetness and a light tang, but then the vinegar gets stronger. It never gets to the point of tasting like a vinaigrette, but is quite noticeable. To be honest, I'm not a fan of any of the caramels. They are certainly unique and nice to try though! I ended up picking some of their more intriguing products - the Bourbon Nib Brittle and the Smoked Nib Brittle - for gifts. From what I tried in store, they're both exactly as the names imply: super bourbon forward sweet candy, and a surprisingly intense smoky sweet. Yum! Olive and Sinclair Chocolate is definitely a place to pick up some unique local gifts! I wish I had made it in time for one of their tours.

They don't have the flake of a croissant or the light airy vibe of a yeast donut. I also tried the Strawberry Fields, Milk Chocolate, Blueberry Lemon and the Chocolate Sea Salt. The Blueberry Lemon was good the first day, but it seemed that the donuts don't hold up beyond fresh. I feel that may have changed my opinion on some of the other flavors. However, the vanilla crème was good the next day. I conclude they are not my favorite and I would probably stop in for something special to get the Purist or the Vanilla Crème. It was definitely an experience. I'm glad I tried them. However, I think I'm super spoiled by my pastry shoppes in the city and my favorite Amish bakers on the Shore. The shoppe was cute and the service was fine. No complaints. It's nice to know they have an ingredient list to check, I appreciated that. I'd say give them a try because I definitely think it's a preference because the locals raved.
