I also overheard other customers saying that the owner and management encourage the reuse of the pineapple shells in their "55 Beef" and "55 Chicken" entrees for multiple customers. So disgusting. I am so glad I did not order either of those entrees, as that comment was made near the end of my visit there. The employees are great and we had really good service, but needless to say my family and I will not be visiting Spice 55 in the future.

The place is decorated nicely and is a good place to wind down. The reason why I only gave it 2 stars was solely the service. I asked if the chai tea latte was pre-sweetened and I was assured it was not if I got it "none sweet". After I got the drink, it was VERY sweet even though it was labeled none sweet. Given it was a $10 drink, I wanted to make sure it was what I ordered.Talking to a different person at the counter, they told me it was pre sweetened and I was not able to get it without sugar. They allowed me to get another drink after I asked. I got the cold brew which was light and a little watered down. My experience wasn't the best, but my girlfriend got a drink and said it was good! If you're into sugary creative drinks with cool ambiance, check this place out! But if you enjoy more basic coffees, maybe look elsewhere.

Pricing was very reasonable, and service was fabulous! Stepping into this delectable candy shop was amazing as the smell of chocolate just envelops you and a very large hug!

They also had free samples of their fudge, and their brittles. They have a wonderful selection of sugar-free confections as well. The staff, was very knowledgeable on what was behind the counter, and answered quite a few questions. If you love, homemade chocolates, this store does not disappoint! Safe travels

The girl behind the counter was spectacular handled my cravings really well and I ended up getting Oreos for my daughter, and I had a selection of Petit fours and truffles, which were fantastic! I also got a couple of large pieces of peanut brittle and some pecan pralines all of which are some of the best I've had in a while. What a great place to get your sugar fix on, and the staff was super friendly, especially when they're about to close. Highly recommend!

The truffle oil was definitely my favorite (and typically is), but I am excited to use my other selections in future dishes.

Inside the store has an ambiance of an old timey southern store selling quality hand made food products. I recommend stopping by Fred's and getting some good quality goodies for yourselves and as gifts.
