Looks like they also keep up with consumer demands and likes and dislikes bc some were discontinued so it's good they must listen to opinions. We loved the balsamic vinegars and bought 3 for $60 and they were pretty amazing: black garlic, watermelon, and white peach. The staff Van was great and friendly.

A decent little shop with a wide selection of bulk candy and chocolate. The prices seemed fair,…read morebut like any bulk candy store you have a shop smart. The one thing that stood out to me here was their business model. You aren't allowed to fill your own bags. As you browse you are approached and asked if you need a bag. If the answer is yes the helpers fill the bags for you. You tell them what you want and they get it out of the bulk bins. A little different than other bulk candy stores I've been in before where it's more of less self service. From a health and welfare standpoint I can respect this... From a control standpoint I really wasn't a fan. I want to have the bag in my hand. I know roughly how much a pound weighs in my own hand. It's hard to judge the weight when it's in someone else's.

Are you a root beer fan? If you are, then you have to make sure to check this place out while…read moreyou're in Galena. The store isn't large, but they offer a wide variety of root beer brands. In the back, there is a root beer bar where you can purchase one to enjoy while you're there. The staff is always nice and helpful when you have questions about the different types of root beer they offer. They also offer a root beer flight, which I HIGHLY recommend. It gives you a chance to sample what they have in stock before you buy. This is always on my list of places to stop and order a root beer flight every time I visit Galena.

This was such a fun experience and we just chanced upon it while walking Galena downtown…read more I have always loved root beer but I never thought that it would have different tastes and different kinds and there's so many of them. This tasting was so enlightening and I'm definitely coming back because each tasting is different They don't serve the same thing every single time and even if I don't do the tasting I would just come back and buy some root beer from them. This is definitely a stop you need to make when you're going to Galena. Happy tasting!

There is a staff member at the very front that offers samples to help you decide which bag or bags to purchase. This is such a cute and family feel spot. Everyone seemed so happy to be in there and it brought me so much joy. My fiancé and I went with the galena mix which contained cheddar, caramel and kettle corn. It was verrrrrrry good. Next time we'll be more adventurous and try some of their unique flavors.

We walked in and many people were trying samples of popcorn. It was three of us and we ended up…read moregetting three samples which is only one each. Two of them we didn't like but one we really did, so we considered buying one to share on our drive home. However, we are broke college students and decided we didn't need it to save money. As we walked out of the store, the man handing out samples said "So you are going to eat everything and leave?". It was weird because he tried to embarrass us in a crowded store. We would've laughed it off with him, however we thought it was weird how he was happily handing out samples to others but then seemed annoyed when we wanted to try. Usually places that voluntarily hand out samples don't get mad at you if you don't like it or decide not to purchase. Just weird vibes.

We ordered $80 worth of pizzas. I arrived 10 minutes ahead of the projected pick up time. The…read morepizzas were not produced until one half hour later. 2 different servers looked into the matter. They did not discount for lateness. I have always said that it costs just as much to make a good pizza as a bad one. The pizza here was a "C." The crust was pretty flavor less but done well crisp. The tomato sauce was sweet and not at all authentic Italian leaning. The Italian sausage was not noteworthy at all. In short you can find a decent frozen one to rival anything here.

I bought some rainbow colored orecchiette, which was fun. They also have pasta that is labeled with various universities in the region; Illinois State, Wisconsin, University of Iowa, etc. They have dog shaped pasta, as well as other interest-based ones. The biggest issue for me is that it was so incredibly high priced. The pasta I bought was $15 per bag. I know it's imported, but... wow. What I buy at the store is maybe as high as $2.50 per bag. In addition to all the pasta you could ever want, they have some other food items and culinary tools.

This is a MUST STOP at location if you are a chilihead! Hundreds of different sauces included their own "Fire in the hole" (FITH) brand. I absolutely loved how they displayed the sauces, the information posted, and the free samples! The ghost pepper and reaper jars of their FITH salsas are very good, but need to be approached with caution! I torched my taste buds on a sample of the reaper version. It took a while to come back. Lol The FITH pepper sauces are good too. A nice mix to searve as a dip with a bottom layer of cream cheese... We have a Pepper Palace here in the Des Moines IA metro that I enjoy hitting up every now and then with a pretty good variety of sauces. Galena Canning was right up there with it...if not slightly better. Awesome selection and fair prices!
