The game changer was the brownie. Best brownie ever!!! Hands down. I'm legit going to get it for my birthday every year. It's huge, ooey and gooey. There is caramel and chocolate throughout. I'm going to be dreaming about that mofo.

However, within minutes I got a cart and determined I was going to get my selection from here. They have so many options! The aisles are very clean and the prices are clear, so my biggest struggle was choosing which candies I wanted to take because they are all so good! The prices are very fair. When I checked out, the gentleman was so kind and boxed my items up in a huge carton and asked if I found everything okay. He even offered I pay by zelle so that I wouldn't get an additional charge on my card. Once I paid he walked me to my car and helped me load the huge box of candies. What incredible service. I will definitely come here again.

After stopping here for some chocolates given as part of a Yelp elite event, I realized I hadn't…read moreupdated my review of this place in ten years and it deserves a higher rating than what I gave back then. I've patronized this place several times over the years and have been very happy with the chocolates they sell (Royce brand, from Japan). And the gaufres are a favorite. Aside from the Yelp "giveaway" on my latest visit, I also purchased some other boxes of chocolates and cookies as gifts for upcoming birthdays in my extended family. The women working here were amiable - full of smiles - and very helpful in assisting me in choosing the perfect boxes of treats. The quality of the chocolates is exceptionally high. If the box has the name Royce on it, you're going to be happy with what's inside. As with most Japanese products, the packaging is done with care and presentation is visually appealing. You'll find J Sweets at the rear entrance of Mitsuwa in Irvine.

This is a cute little chocolate and sweets shop in the Tustin District - Union Market place which…read morehas been open for a couple of months now. They specialize in European candies - brands you can not normally find in the U.S. - and toy filled chocolate eggs. They have the generic toy eggs and special licensed kinds (like Minions) with themed toys inside. See the photo for a sample of the neat package! I ended up buying one minion egg and an Oreo candy bar which was something that just hit social media that week and then walked in here on a fluke during lunchtime and they had it. Score! The Oreo bar was $3 and Minion toy egg was $4. Neither of which was cheap but definitely affordable. They give quantity discounts on the toy filled eggs. If you buy 10 for party favors or stocking stuffers, you'll get the best deal. Also 3 or 5 discount I believe. It's a store you could easily spend 15m browsing and ogling even though it is so small. Fun and entertaining and delicious. Cash and credit.

You can choose from blind boxes to tees to plushies to kitchen and home goods, believe it or not. This store reminds me of my bedroom as a single person, packed with toys in every nook and cranny. Give yourself a good amount of time to check out all that you can. Go through the store twice, because chances are, you will miss something the first time around. I love all the fun Miffy and Monchhichi items available. And there are other popular characters like the Peanuts gang, Moomin, and the newest edition Zilly Tales created by Zillymonkey. The store is pretty well-stocked...until it sells out - worst feeling ever! Pricing is subjective. Black Friday prices were pretty cool. Anyway, you can order online too and pick up in-store. Service is super friendly. Parking is plenty. Happy shopping!
