I was so impressed with how smoothly everything ran--handling twelve six-year-olds is no easy task, and they did it with patience, energy, and total professionalism. The kids had an absolute blast, and my son is still talking about it. The experience was fun, stress-free, and incredibly well organized from start to finish. Huge thank you to the entire crew for making the day so special. We're already looking forward to our next candified event!

I've been looking for these in stores for many years since my favorite candy store closed down in NorCal! The employees were really kind to let me try a piece of candy before purchasing! Just make sure you ask them for a sample because they grab the sample for you. This is to keep the candy clean from strangers hands :) Such a nice hidden gem, especially if you're looking for any retro or Swedish sour candy.

I ordered balloons for my brothers repass the night before, I asked that they be available by 3pm…read morethe next day. I got to the store at around 5pm I walked in and the young lady was on the ladder restocking and said oh I'm sorry I forgot about your order. Her and 2 other employees started to blow up the balloons at that time they mentioned they didn't have the color strings to match the balloons I ordered. I said why didn't you mention this yesterday? They all just gave blank stares. Mind you this was for my brothers home going service my moms wishes. One of the ladies was like well we don't have navy blue.. then she's like oh we don't have white either I'm standing there in disbelief. The balloons weren't ready and now you don't have the correct supplies to complete the job? I settled for what they had. As they were blowing the balloons I noticed they were over filling them I asked for them not to do that but they just stared at me. As a result of the over filling a few balloons popped in the car. I asked them to bag the balloons it was very windy they acted as if they had no idea what I was talking about. Fast forward I take them to the drop off location I arrive by 6:30pm to set everything up. The service was 3 pm the next day. I get a call while at my brothers funeral that all the balloons were down. They checked the cameras and noticed that around 10pm the night before the balloons started to deflate. I have experience with balloons there's no way they should have deflated that soon. I didn't want to ruin my moms wishes my best friend had to emergency call in a balloon company to try and replace the balloons before the repass. This was by far one of the most stressful events I've experienced. I was so disappointed. I will not be returning and I hope this doesn't happen to anyone else on such a special occasion.

I went to a chocolate making class hosted by Albert. It was AMAZING!!! Not only is Albert very…read morepersonable and professional, but the wealth of knowledge that he has and his passion for what he does is evident from start to finish. Albert is very talented and accommodating to learners of varying abilities. He also makes the class so much fun that I was surprised how quickly the time went. I highly recommend!! As for the chocolate, I have never tasted anything like it! The quality, the taste, the texture is such an incredible experience. It is easy to see why he is in such high demand.

Happened to stumble across Chef Albert and his sweets collection when I went to the Partake…read moreCollective. Chef Albert is sooo friendly and personable, which I love! He let me sample the vegan chocolate honeycomb and it was quite crisp and delicate. The texture literally felt like chewing on honeycombs wrapped in chocolate. Yum! I decided to bring home the cocoa butter crisps, which the chef states is made out of Ritz crackers and chocolate. Made me quite intrigued cause when you think of Ritz crackers, you don't automatically think of chocolate. But oh my gosh, I really like them! Perfect balance of chocolate and cracker with a great amount of richness coming from the Belgian chocolate. Loved the caramel flakes on top, as well. Ambiance inside the Partake Collective provides a modern vibe with a quick grab and go experience. I like how Chef Albert's sweets are set up neatly as soon as you turn the corner up the stairs. Sweets and chocolates are always an eye catcher for me, so I am glad I saw this and got to meet Chef Albert personally. I would definitely recommend trying the variety of chocolates and sweets-- hope to come back soon when I'm in the area!

What a cool place and yummy popcorn…read more Ever since this spot opened in Bixby Knolls, I have been wanting to make a stop because I LOVE popcorn. First off, shout out to the owners dad who talked about his son's business and how he moved back to SoCal to help him out. To help support their business, I decided to but a few bags since I loved their story. Plus, the shop was cool, service was great, and you are immersed by the popcorn scent once you walk in. Most importantly, there are so many flavors and if you are undecided like I was, they allow you to try 3 flavors. After deliberation and going back and forth which felt like hours, actually 2 minutes, I ended up taking home Doritos Cool Ranch, Strawberry Cheesecake, and Dill Pickle. Doritos Cool Ranch: Tastes just like the chips, and as a matter of fact, there are chip crumbs throughout the bag which is a plus because it is one of my favorites. It's mind boggling how they can master the taste and trick your mind, thinking you are eating a bag of chips. Not too salty, popcorn was fresh, and the taste was perfection. By the time we realized, the bag was done and had us wanting more. Strawberry Cheesecake: Sweet but delicious. Definitely tasted like I was eating cheesecake. Cool tip-eat one of the pink and white kernels to get the true taste and be sure to savor it. Dill Pickle: I am not a fan of pickles but I would make an exception because it had a great taste. My boyfriend enjoyed this a lot, too. As soon as I tried one, it was as if I was eating a pickle but it wasn't overpowering. Overall, such a great experience and we will definitely be back to try out some other flavors. Plus, they take recommendations so be sure to submit what you want to see in the store.
