The pairings were excellent. Clearly well thought out and chocolates custom made to suit the characteristics of the wine. I would strongly suggest that if you're anywhere near this place, you take the time to try the absolutely awesome work of chocolatier Carrie Wong. Or visit her website at www.extremechocolates.com. Took some home and will definitely be ordering more for the holidays and other special occasions. I'm also lloking forward to trying the chocolate based rubs I bought for poultry and pork, and the tangerine essence. Carrie, great to meet you. And I'm happy to be the first to post a Yelp review for this outstanding product!

I was disappointed that they only offer the tours on Saturday, I don't plan on going to Salem on Saturday anytime in the near future, but you can see the workers through the glass with all the equipment that makes their absolutely delicious chocolate! I could tell the workers were having a fun time while creating said delicious chocolate, they were singing and laughing! I tried a sample of their nutpuck and the seasonal pumpkin spice, both delicious! I ended up getting both of the those flavors to take home and also the chocolate covered pretzels. I also got some of the white drinking chocolate..so good! I plan on returning to try the other flavors of drinking chocolate!

Regular grocery stores can't hold a candle to the bread they offer. It doesn't need butter or anything on it, although sometimes I add honey. No weird ingredients.

We went into town and found a nice café, I wish I could remember the name, we had a nice lunch. It was small and I still wanted something sweet. We googled the nearest See's Candy and guess what? It was one block away. We went there and were given two samples each! Upon which we bought more than we intended to. We went back to the RV and made a delicious pot of decaf coffee and savored the remaining pieces of our See's Candy together as we watched a streamed WI-FI movie. The manager was lovely and kind and asked us all about where we were from and what we were doing in Salem. Definitely look into stopping in at See's on the Main Street area on Liberty St NE. You may have to drive around twice the block to find a parking spot. But you will find the staff friendly, warm, and inviting at the Salem See's Candy. As always a free piece of candy too!

I cannot support a business that appears to show so little loyalty or respect toward a long-term…read moreemployee. My family member gave this Salem store about 10 years of reliable service, took on leadership-level responsibilities, and consistently delivered the customer care people expect from See's. Despite her experience, she was repeatedly passed over for leadership opportunities. Employees were told that lead positions would no longer be filled, yet someone younger and far less experienced was later placed into the role, The final year was especially discouraging. As a single grandmother raising a teenage granddaughter, she was routinely assigned the least desirable 4:00-7:00 p.m. shift--during the limited evening hours when she needed to be home parenting and caring for her family. The arrangement eventually became unsustainable, and after years of service, she resigned. On one occasion, she was struck by a car while crossing the street to come to work. She was in so much pain that she could barely stand. Rather than someone immediately recognizing that she needed help, she had to ask another person to call an ambulance--an act of basic human compassion that should not have required her to ask. Customers may have a pleasant experience at the counter, but my family's experience left me questioning whether this location gives its employees the dignity, loyalty, and care they deserve.

I am giving this place 3 stars because every time I have gone in, in hopes of purchasing something, the rude older woman makes me uncomfortable to the point where I leave.

I felt uncomfortable and left. Very unprofessional and that woman has been there for years. The storefront was not staffed because she was telling someone off on the phone in the back. Not a good look. I'm a manager and that is very poor service.
