Stopped in today for a quick fudge buy. This was actually my first time here after driving by this…read moreplace for three years. This was three years wasted. I walked into this quaint shop and was welcomed by three workers. Super sweet and welcoming. I went straight to the fudge and they had a lot of varieties to pick from. I asked the nice lady behind the counter what are some of the most popular and she started listing some. I first decided on one square of chocolate peanut butter and after looking more, the worker suggested I should get one more. Yes, she was right! Got some cookies and cream fudge too. They last well in the fridge and more to share. The fudge was priced very well. I was expecting more but it was a great price. Had some fudge tonight and they both are delicious!

We are visiting friends from out of town and drove by Winfrey's and decided to swing a U and get a…read morechocolate fix. I'm so glad we did! It's not every day that I think, "Huh, I want some fudge," but why not?! It's delicious and the fudge here is fantastic. The customer service was phenomenal, and it smells like your next happy place. I'm happy to add it to my list of places to stop at whenever we visit NE. We had a nut allergy in our group, and they were very accommodating and told us about their protocol to prevent cross contamination (washing blades and pans in between batches) and packaged the items for our nut allergy friend separately. Although there isn't a 100% certainty, I'm happy to say our friend did not need an epi pen and was thrilled with his fudge!

We live over an hour away so I ordered it online, it's pricey, but WORTH it. She said it was the best thing she's ever tasted in her whole life. I also ordered the stuffed caramel chocolates and the stuffed biscoff cookie butter chocolates. The caramel is perfect, the chocolate is smooth and delicious. I haven't tried the cookie butter ones yet, but they'll be soon! Whomever packed our order was kind enough to write a little note saying that they had labeled the boxes for us in case they were gifts! Thank you thank you!

I've been buying chocolates from Stowaway Sweets for 10+ years. Due to illness last year, I missed…read morebuying from them for Valentine's Day or other events. This year, I ordered online instead of visiting in person. I noted that the prices had gone up significantly, but my past experience was that their chocolates were fresh, creamy, not-to-sweet, and delicious, so I ordered anyway. It's clear that ownership and/or the chocolate formula and recipes have changed, because the chocolates I received were no better than a Whitman's Sampler. The chocolates were very bland and too sweet, without the creamy mouthfeel. They were so bad, in fact, that I drove to Phillips in Dorchester to buy replacements-- they, at least, are still high quality and worth the price. It appears from some research and asking around that their ownership has changed-- and that my experience of the serious decline in quality and value is similar to others'. If you were inclined to buy based on past experiences, skip it.

The Whimsy Cafe is right in downtown Salem, close to lots of cute boutiques, and it has more than…read morejust ice cream. They also sell chocolates and gifts, adding to the "fun little shop" feel as soon as you walk in. I went specifically for ice cream because I was looking for a nearby ice cream shop, and this one caught my eye. It wasn't too crowded when I visited, and the staff was relaxed, friendly, and helpful while getting my scoop ready. I ordered a cookies-and-cream-style flavor with a blue base and cookie crumbles, and it was exactly what I needed on a hot Friday afternoon during a Massachusetts heat wave. I got the smallest (pixie, 4oz) size, and it was plenty for me. Overall, it's a very cute, kitschy little shop that's easy to pop into if you're in town. I wish I'd had more time to explore the gifts and chocolates, but even just stopping in for ice cream was a fun treat.

This Salem gift shop is packed with Christmas decorations, holiday ornaments, candles, and witchy goodies, + chocolate and ice cream. I picked up a heart ornament with painted gold accents.

A must-visit boutique in Salem for holiday shopping and magical/one-of-a-kind goodies.

I am disappointed to say I would not return to this coffee shop…read more Perhaps I caught them at a bad time of day, they were starting to close. The young that made my coffee tried her best, but it was very obvious this was not a usual thing for her to do, my coffee ended up tasting like lukewarm milk. There were some cute items to look at while waiting. The chocolate croissant was good, but did not give the impression of being fresh made. Very sad as I had passed the shop several times through my day and waited to the end to grab a sweet and a coffee to go back to the hotel with.

I've ordered grilled cheese before and had them mess it up. I know melting cheese shouldn't be hard, but some restaurants can't get it right. The bread was perfectly crispy and buttery. Lots of cheese so I was a happy camper. Soup was flavorful! The restaurant is adorable and connected to a little indoor mall area. Definitely a lot of options but you should come to this spot and have a little bite or a good drink!

That's kind of steep for chocolate but it was gourmet truffles. I really loved them! They tasted fresh & light. They were perfect not too sweet just right.The inside was fluffy & moist. I picked the love spell,protection charm,fireball, & levitation ones. The love spell was rich vanilla bean in a white chocolate ganache w/ a white chocolate shell. The protection charm was pumpkin spice latte infused w/ white chocolate ganache,dollop of whipped topping, & a thin dark coffee ganache in a dark chocolate shell. The fireball was cinnamon cheesecake in a milk chocolate shell. And finally the levitation was caramel ganache on top of a bed white chocolate rice crespearls (think Rice Krispies cereal) in a milk chocolate shell. Just describing the truffles is fancy,lol. The box it was put in was fancy & cute! Def was worth the money. It melted in my mouth & all the flavors bursted when I took a bite. Yummy! She had chocolate lollipops for sale as well. I was good w/ the truffles.

Pure Bliss! I needed…read moresomething almost last minute and these folks took my order by phone and had it ready in record time. If you don't know, "Edible Arrangements", yet, you really need to check them out, even if you don't quite need to use them right now... because, eventually, you will. Edible Arrangements HUGE variety of delicious chocolate-covered fruit displays are not only as visually appealing as they are tasty but they are forever the perfect alternative to the usual gifts of flowers and chocolates. With this, gift recipients get BOTH; "floral"-looking arrangement of chocolate covered fruits is just so pleasing on so many levels! After you pick just the right gift from dozens, if not hundreds, of selections, you can also add on anything else relevant you want such as a balloon, or a fuzzy little bear/animal, plus you can have them write, and include, a card with your gift. They're very good about delivery. They use refrigerated trucks and, so far, I know of no instance where they've ever left anything outside under circumstances where it would spoil. Watch, send someone a gift from Edible Arrangements and not only will they profusely thank you on the day they receive it, but they'll be thanking you again and again and again with each new bite they take of a chocolate covered strawberry, pineapple and/or orange. I wish I was there to see it! Enjoy!

Look for the adorable little red truck outside and you've arrived at Fatties!…read more It's such an interesting concept, they sell savory and sweet items all in a ball like shape. There are a couple breakfast "chubbies" with things like eggs, cheese, and sausage. There's a Mac n' cheese chubbie, snd 3 flavors of Fatties (aka cookies). Drinks and ice cream are also available, I ordered a Nutty Buddy fattie and it was warm and delicious! I did have 1/2 and saved some for the next day but I think it's best when it's warm (as all cookies are!). I would've loved it if they had more than three flavors to choose from since they also offer cookies by the dozen, and it would be more fun to have a bigger variety in your box, but regardless, what they do have to offer is yummy.

They are famous for their Gibralters and their Blackjacks - I of course, took home both. The Gibralters come in lemon and peppermint flavor - they are big pieces of candy that are made to be broken and shared. I also took home two of the blue raspberry flavored fruit jellies which didn't make it very far - I'm a sucker for anything blue raspberry flavored. The inside of Ye Olde Pepper Companie is very small, the line took up the entire store and people actually had to wait outside until people left before they could come in. The line moved quickly though and they were very organized when helping customers. There are no tables to sit at, just tables, cases and shelves of candy! They offered chocolates, fudge, Saltwater Taffy, caramel corn and even brittles. Is it the best candy in the world? No, but I love knowing that I got to visit and purchase candy from the oldest one in America. Staff were very friendly and they gave me a See's Candy vibe minus the cute little outfits. I will definitely visit again if I get the chance! Check out a part of history!
