They do have a big selection of loose candy that you can buy by the pound but I wish they had more chocolate options with that as I am more into chocolate than sour sugary things. It is fun to go with the family and wander around, looking at the knickknacks and funny things. They also have really funny sodas with disgusting flavors like earwax and also some political joke items. The staff here is really friendly and Young. I'm glad that they give young people a chance to work and get experience.

Ecclesia has over gone a lot of changes since I visited earlier this year, so make sure to be open minded when you visit! First, the book shop *squeel* Adorable! Quaint, cute, decent selection, good children's section and they feature local authors. Support your local bookstores!!! They are wonderful. If you didn't know, this is a mini-food hall of sorts. There are several food vendors: a Bar at the top, a restaurant I've yet to visit alongside it, as well as several spots to eat downstairs. Downstairs they have : - A bagel spot (get there early for the best selection and don't be disappointed if they run out- that's what it means to have fresh baked daily!) - A great BBQ spot (this is coming from a KC native and BBQ critic!) - Apres coffee - a cute coffee shop with alternative milks and Italian sodas options. - A stuffed pita restaurant (I'm sorry I don't know the name!) - Gluttony and Graze, for salads and gourmet hot dogs and burgers - And don't sleep on the cute little kiosk to order Mexican food! I didn't get a chance to check it out, but it's next on my list to try! Though, please note all of these places have different operating hours - though you're mostly safe Wed-Sun. Either call ahead or be open minded when you come in, just in case! Overall, highly recommended. People sleep on it because the outside is unassuming, but you have to try it at least once!

I finally decided to stop in this cute little shop and try it for myself... had to do it for the Yelp! And omg I'm so glad I did. The berry tilly cupcake is absolutely amazing! Seriously I have no idea how they get the cake so soft. I'm usually a chocolate girl but every single white cake cupcake from this place is so good. The chocolate cupcakes are delicious but it's more like a dense dark chocolate cake... while it hit the spot, the texture wasn't like the berry tilly. I also tried the chocolate cream pie based on a recommendation from the staff and I was pleasantly surprised! They have a great team working the counter. I plan on going back to try more from the menu and ordering a custom cake for a bday!

I got to Yelp in Castle Rock today. And it was for this cute cake shop in the heart of Castle Rock…read moredowntown. And it's none other than the Cake Company. I had a side hustle job assignment in the very neighborhood mid-afternoon. And I simply didn't want to go there, work, leave and get home; I wanted to discover a business I have never been to. I hence googled bakeries and this cake shop came up. According to a little research, this shop opened its doors in January of 2021 by two sisters who are Colorado natives. This element added more excitement to my quick visit I made today. The Cake Company is adorable. From the exterior signage to the interior decors, everything that decorates the whole space matches the theme of the store. Mostly pink and off-white, they not only sell beautifully crafted cupcakes, pies, rice crispies, cinnamon rolls, to name a few, they also sell some gifts such as wine glasses, t-shirts, journal books, tote bags, mug cups, I mean you name it!! I was at awe standing in front of the showcase that displays all sorts of sweets. When one of the ladies upfront greeted me with a very peppy welcoming tone, she kindly said to take my time. I thus allowed myself to be indecisive for several minutes to take my time (LOL!!) Whereas the pies and cheesecakes to the right looked amazing, they also appeared a bit too big and decadent. Since I only needed one good piece of some delicious something, I opted for a cupcake as they aren't as big as the other sweets. Upon asking the same lady which ones are the most popular, she said it was either Berry Tilly or Better Than Sex. My instinct told me to go with the latter: Better Than Sex. The different lady transacted my purchase. She carefully put my cupcake in a single cupcake box. Just so you know, their boxes are tilt-free so your sweet stuff won't tilt inside it (unless you violently shake the box!) The cupcakes are $6 each. And yet, if you buy 6 or more, each price is reduced to $5.50 up to 11. If you buy 12 or more, each price is reduced to $5.00. 20% discount will be added if you purchase 3 dozens. The shop does sell gluten free ones and yet any of the discounts I mentioned don't appear to apply to them. After the purchase, I looked to the left to discover a little entry way to the store next door. It's Lost Coffee. The customers are free to go in and out between the two shops. This means that you can take your cupcake to the next store and have some coffee or tea to pair with it. This is another store that has this symbiotic relationship with their next-door neighbor business. I always find the concept so intriguing. Businesses help each other. As soon as I got back to my car, I immediately opened the box and started to dig in. And wow....I know this is such an ordinary statement but I will say it: this is/was by far the best cupcake I've ever had. It was perfectly moist in the sponge part with the perfect sweetness. After one bite, it was simply impossible for me to stop eating it although I wanted to save some for later. The cupcake thus disappeared so quickly in a matter of 2-3 minutes. Their cupcakes are phenomenal. There is no way you'll buy cupcakes from other places once you have experienced theirs. I am already pondering as to when I should go back. Discovering great businesses bring me joy; this is why I can never stop Yelping.

I thought maybe I got an old bag or something, but the "best by" date was like almost 2 months in the future (which means it probably wasn't old).

They also have plenty of samples of various flavors, so try before you buy. In a pinch or moment of uninspired indecision, I could see these popcorn products making it into a rotation of generic holiday or special occasion gifts. Perhaps somewhere in the line up between summer sausage set and assorted chocolate.

I then said such and was told (rudely) that it contains peanuts. I am severely allergic to nuts. Their flavors are listed on placards just stating the flavor w/ absolutely no indication of a nut allergen (which is illegal ). The only allergen signage I saw was in the back on the freezers, primarily out of view of customers and just said something about cross contamination I believe. Once I was told it was nuts I explained how it would've been nice for the allergen to be disclosed because I am allergic, to which the woman working responded with ZERO empathy, concern, or even a simple "sorry". Because of their carelessness I had to miss the majority of the event I paid for and go in an ambulance. Today we contacted the owner over the phone and were met with nothing but a rude, defensive and arrogant response. He took zero responsibility, never apologized, never sounded understanding, and blamed me (the girl who could've died) for the entire incident. This lack of disclosure and disregard for laws and consumer safety could have easily killed someone. Peanuts are the most common allergy ESPECIALLY among YOUNG CHILDREN. Imagine it was a 5 year old instead of me. Edit: I immediately contacted my parents and went to EMS. I was laughing because I was in shock and scared of going into anaphylaxis (laughter is a common defense mechanism). I was 17 at the time (18 now) and am extremely informed on how to manage my allergies and have been taught since a young age. Yes I should've asked BUT there should be some sort of allergy indicator on the flavor placard, which is all I'm asking for. I ordered another flavor along with a water as a means to wash down the allergen in my system (a technique that anyone with food allergies can recognize). Bottom line is customer service was subpar (never received an apology) and there should be some sort of indication of allergies ON THE FLAVOR PLACARD.

Been eying this place for a while now and finally the time and place arose. For $6 you can get 3 generous scoops - the only challenge is narrowing it down to 3! Based on how delicious the options were that I chose, I suspect that any choice would be satisfying. We went for the chunky chocolatey options - caramel Oreo, s'mores, and and turtle. There's a reason the caramel Oreo is the most popular flavor. It is quite good. But every single one was excellent. My only issue was that they put it in a pint container, which means the scoops are stacked on top of each other and you cannot try the flavors at the same time easily; you have to eat one layer and then the next and then the next. Also they still don't allow samples even though we can fly without masks - I guess maybe ice cream places have decided that is a decision to stick with post-COVID? but I sure enjoy trying things to make sure that I want them. Minor complaints in the grand scheme of things.
