If you've ever watched Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, you'll recall the land of the Umpa Lumpas and that magical world of rivers made of milk chocolate, candy flowers and whip cream too. This store is not quite comparable to that, but it is a candy store and with some imagination one can transport themselves into a fun childhood fantasy. I've certainly been in much larger and elaborate candy stores, but this small shop gives all it can in the downtown San Anselmo shopping area. If you're in the mood for a candy bar why not stop in here in lieu of a corner store?

We stopped in right before closing as I'd been to their San Ramon location…read more Unfortunately while I enjoyed the candies, I got sticker shock when it turned out our three small bags of candy had an almost a $30 price tag. Yes they were delicious, but all the prices were blacked out on the bottom and after being run up the register suggested I leave an extremely high tip. I personally don't think telling customers they have one minute to buy something then telling other customers they can't come in because you're closed really warrants a 20%+ tip. The shop door could have simply been closed and the sign turned to let everyone finish browsing and let potential customers outside know you are closed in a polite and professional way, so this was our first and absolutely final visit to this location of Miette as we will not be coming back.

She invited us to her home for a tasting to make sure the chocolates were to our satisfaction (they were, of course). She also allowed us to try some new flavors she was working on, paired with some wine. It was so much fun and so delicious. We served the chocolates during our cocktail hour and they were a huge hit! There were none left over after the wedding. Eva also gave us an extra little box with assorted chocolates to eat on our honeymoon in Hawaii (which we did). Eva is seriously the best. My only advice: Don't chew the chocolates! Eva will literally yell at you because you're supposed to let them melt in your mouth. Haha! I recommend Eva's Delights to provide chocolates to anyone planning an event. I mean, who doesn't love chocolate?

You can even take it to the old back patio up the street and down the alley where they have seating and some basic facilitation like trash and sometimes water. There are menus up front in a basket right by the doors if you don't know what you want. Specials are posted up on cars in several areas. I really appreciate the speed they get well cooked food out once you place an order (remember that other people have placed orders over the phone and may seem like they are getting food faster than you). I get chicken in about 10 minutes since they have a lot of people on hand to handle each step of the process of cooking and boxing the meal. The staff up front have always been friendly (or not there long). Sodas and other drinks available cold, along with t-shirts, magnets, drums and a ton of other cool stuff on the racks to the side and everywhere else. Check out my Sol Food review for what the food is like (exact same as the restaurant). Head over to La Bodega if you don't want to wait for that delicious Puerto Rican fare, and donate to recovery efforts while you are at it.

It's a pretty small spot, but if you make a reservation, you should not have a problem being seated. We were there during a regular weekend time for lunch, and there were two servers covering the entire restaurant. They appeared to share duties and both were equally attentive and helpful to us as we enjoyed our meal. They quickly brought kids, menus and coloring supplies as well as let us place in order for the kids first. We were very surprised that the Shirley Temple came in a very large glass. The bread was nice and warm and very fresh and the butter was room temperature, which is always the best. We loved the covered outdoor seating, which is a great way to get fresh air and still be protected from the elements. There were so many things on the menu that we wanted to try that we will definitely be back. Parking can be a challenge in downtown Larkspur, but we had arrived early and were able to secure parking, reasonably within walking distance. Overall, the experience was really great and definitely worth the value. We all enjoyed our food, though we did have to send back one of the pizzas because the sausage was raw in the middle. They were very professional about it and remade the pizza very quickly. We enjoyed the food, the service, and the ambience. Highly recommend for anyone in the area.

My husband and I decided to give this spot a try after getting many rave reviews not only on yelp but on Eater SF (or maybe it was SFGate?). Anyway, we arrived around an hour before close, most places in this area close at 9pm btw. We were greeted by the host who walked in from near the kitchen area. We decided to sit outdoors since the weather was pleasant. We found a table for two near the projector showing a muted black and white film on the brick wall. The chairs had blankets over them just in case it gets chilly at night. It was very thoughtful. I decided to order their special 3 course meal including a white wine ($45!). It was like they had their own restaurant week specials like SF but I don't believe that exists in Marin. The 3 course meal included a beet salad, pasta (it was the screw shaped kind) with Bolognese and a tiramisu which was my fav of all 3. The white wine was a bit on the sweet side. My husband had the pappardelle pasta with oxtail. That was a treat! I liked his dish more than mine but all of it was so much we had to take half home! The complimentary focaccia really pushed us over the edge. I would definitely come back to try their pizzas!

The parking lot is usually packed as it is shared amongst the other businesses. Holiday-themed treats and items next to the pre-packaged baked goodies. Grab a fresh squeezed juice, shot, or blended smoothie. The bakery had gorgeous fancy-looking whole cakes, slices of cheesecake, mini tea cakes, macarons, lava cakes, and more. There is a hot food bar, salad & soup bar, deli, pre-packaged food for those quick on-the-go with items such as burritos, chicken tenders w/ a side of ranch, side salads, larger salads, mini pizzas, half lox bagels, sandwiches, the list goes on. They even have an area where you can get sushi. I hear their sushi and sandwiches made to order are really good. They have quite the array of cheeses, side options like olives with feta or macaroni salad, potato salad, chicken salad, fruits and jams, easy to shop for special hosting events. This was only the area of Nugget Market I have been able to walk around and view. Their aisles look small, but they are well-stocked and not difficult trying to see what is on the shelf. During the lunch time rush, there have been more people inside where lines may form, however, other times in the mid-afternoon, I have not run into the issue of waiting at checkout. A great market to have in the community!
