Finally stopped in on a late Saturday afternoon, kinda fitting it was Valentine's Day too!…read more Nice clean store , lots of chocolate items to choose for, mostly pre packaged in plastic cups I loved the graham crackers covered in milk chocolate and the chocolate covered pretzels!! Nice milk chocolate Prices are little spendy- great to get gift items Not 5 stars as I tink they should have samples of chocolate to try before purchasing

Visited Droolin Moose again for the holidays and always love getting to try the samples…read more Prices have gone up quite a bit since I last visited so keep that in mind when coming to the store. I highly recommend the Happy Campers, they're my favorite.

Cute chocolate/honey shop!…read more NOTE: they have moved to a less visible, and honestly a little less photogenic, location across the river. They are now in a quiet area of businesses in the Harriet Island area, which happens to have lots of nice areas to stroll. This is a shop that sells artisan chocolate and honey. They're super proud of their honey and even invited me to check out the buzzing bee boxes out back! This is good honey; I don't have pure honey too often but this is very sweet stuff. The chocolate bonbons filled with honey are great, perfect blend of the two. You can also get chocolate-drizzled honeycomb which is quite intense and is ideally experienced shmushed onto some toast or creatively combined with something somehow, but it is a good idea to do something like that. And they have chocolate that isn't about honey but is interesting, artisan stuff! And you can sample a whole bunch of the flavors! Get bars of the ones you like or maybe do what I did and buy a mixed bag of little pieces and bring them to a party and let people guess what the flavors are. The owner was very nice to talk to here, so if you want to do some shopping that might involve either chocolate or honey I think you will be glad you came here.

I can't tell you how many times I've passed this business without giving a second glance. I thought…read morethis was a bath and body or lotion store. Last Sunday, my best friend and I decided to stop after getting a Wetzel pretzel as it was near the stand and we were in snackoma. We were given a warm greeting by Ashley and she thoroughly walked through the different selections and also gave us a little bit of background about the company. I was pleasantly surprised by the hazelnut chocolate. I typically do not like hazelnut, but theirs is so smooth and tasty. I ended up getting one of the lemon truffles and the strawberry and cream chocolate. I'd say for the chocolate size and pricing it's about seven dollars for the size of your hand. One of the truffles was four dollars. Yes, this is on the expensive side, but it was a treat - and totally worth it. The lemon truffle was one of the best things that I've put in my mouth lately and I will definitely be back. I'm still thinking about how pleasant Ashley's customer service was.

Literally was about to head up the escalator and this chocolate shop stopped me in my tracks…read more.... looking from the window, I was SO curious what I was seeing as I never heard of this place. I don't even know how to pronounce the name, haha! Literally I was starring at sheets of chocolate! Greeted and educated by Ashley on the quality of this chocolate. Oh my goshhh, I've never had any chocolate like this in my life! It's high quality, smooth, and flavorful. Just INCREDIBLE! Ashley was kind enough to share a sample which made it hard to pick what to buy because let's be real I wasn't leaving without something. I went with the classic/top seller--milk chocolate hazelnut and a mini mousse caramel truffle. Absolutely delicious! The store is clean, bright, warm, and inviting . Lots to see and honestly, hard to pick, but I see why people come here. When I visit MOA I will be making a stop here. Thank you to Ashley for making it a great first visit.

There is sooo many treats here! They sure do pack a lot into a small space. I love that they have…read moreeverything you need if you want to grab a quick gift for someone. Prices are a bit pricey, some items are available elsewhere for cheaper price. I was really hoping they had chocolate covered dates from chocodate or even homemade ones but they just had regular dates from what I saw. Everything looked really delicious behind the counter but we didn't have much time so I didn't get to try any this day but will be back if I'm craving some sweet treats. The chocolate covered strawberries look amazing.

I tried the baklava made by the owner and it was some of the best baklava I've had! It's flaky, gooey and is sure to make your mouth water. I also purchased some truffles from their case which were reasonably priced and look delicious. The attendant who helped me was very friendly and had many suggestions of items to try. I ended up purchasing some Turkish delights based on her recommendation which I look forward to trying. Be sure to check out Valley Sweets for any of your sugar cravings!

I'm not a fan of really dark or bitter coffee and whatever cold brew they use had awesome flavor. Oh, and their cookies? Huge & out of this world.

I went here with some family members (one of whom is gluten-free) yesterday. We appreciate that the…read moreice cream is gluten-free by default unless noted! The flavor selection ("periodic table") is always kind of limited but it's a small location with not that many spots for flavors. I got the basil ice cream, which had that flavor note that you only ever get with fresh-from-the-garden basil. The location is also really good as it's walking distance from my family's place and the 50th and France area is pleasant to take a stroll around with your ice cream.

Decided to come here on a date night after dinner and this place was delightful!…read more There is a large free parking ramp next to this place! If you walk from the parking ramp, down to Bellecour Cafe and look straight across the street, you will see this place! The vibes in here are honestly lacking and the only reason I dropped a star. There is very little seating, so expect to take your ice cream to go. In the summer, that's not a problem as there is ample seating outside! But during the cooler months, there is only one table and a couple of small benches. Everything here is also white and with a name like "sweet science" I was expecting more "science stuff" The staff here was absolutely lovely!! Very polite and super friendly! You are allowed to try samples and these gals seemed to be having fun with their job! Down to business: The ice cream was DELICIOUS! I am lactose intolerant, so having some vegan (dairy free) options was great! It looks like they use cashew milk for most of those bases. I hate cashews but this didn't taste like cashews at all! I got the vanilla chocolate chip and it was creamy, perfect vanilla and the chocolate chips added a very nice texture! Would highly recommend!! My boyfriend got a mint ice cream with cookie dough pieces and a marshmallow fluff that they torched! Very good! He was extremely impressed! I would absolutely recommend this place!

It perfectly nailed that dreamy combo of rich, dark chocolate, crunchy graham cracker goodness, and that ooey-gooey marshmallow. Seriously, it hit every single s'more craving spot on. I'm genuinely sad I only grabbed one, but honestly, it's probably for the best because when it comes to s'mores, I have ZERO self-control and would've devoured the whole batch in one sitting. I didn't even take a photo because I was too excited for this and I dove right in. Can't wait to try more treats from the local Groveland Confections! My eyes are looking at the homemade caramels. Chocolate options were absolute perfection. I noticed they are also located in Minnetonka so I may have to go check it out for myself sometime.... VERY SOON!

I decided to make a little road trip to Abdollah Candies on my way to bingo at Treasure Island and…read morealthough it was a bit out of the way, it was completely worth it. I could not believe how big the store was. There is so much variety and such a wide selection of both candy and gift items. The candy is incredible. They feature a candy of the month and even offer samples. While we were there, we tried a truffle with raspberry in the center and it was really good. One of my favorite finds was tucked in the back corner...kind of a hidden gem. They have marked down candy that does not quite meet their quality standards. It might look a little different or vary in size, but it still tastes the same. Totally worth checking out. We picked out a variety to bring to bingo including butter toffee, sea sale caramel, peanut butter cups, and a pecan cluster. Everything was delicious. The store itself was very clean, including the bathrooms, and it smelled amazing from the second we walked in. My only callout is that the employees were not especially friendly. We did visit about 45 minutes before closing, so maybe that played a role, but it was not the warm welcome I had expected. So much so that I felt weird taking photos (which is reflected here). All in all, still a really fun stop and absolutely worth the trip.
