The lady there was super friendly, gave us some samples to try. The place is super clean. You can see where they make their candies, which is very encouraging, because it's a super clean place. So glad we found this place - a must try. It is a bit on the pricier side, but well worth it imo.

One thing about me, I love Swedish Candy so I was super excited to see that they had a store in…read moreSolvang! Unfortunately, the store was not what I expected, which is my fault for assuming I suppose. The Swedish Candy Factory specializes in Polkagris - which are big candy canes essentially. I was hoping to find more Swedish candy options and not just a Swedish candy store - if that makes sense. There were lots of candy options from gummies to chocolates though! The inside was cute and well organized throughout 2 different rooms. They even had a candy making station where you could watch employees, but no one was making anything when we arrived. They also had a big screen that displayed Polkagri fun facts. Overall, this was a very cute store, but nothing besides the Polkagris were any different from the other candy stores I visited during my trip. Staff was very friendly though!

Been in Solvang at least 50 times but have never been to this place nor any other chocolate shops…read moreuntil recently. I suppose this is a great place to check out if you are looking for Danish style chocolates and licorice items, but not sure if it's much better than other chocolate shops for regular chocolates. Main difference with Danish chocolates is that they use marzipan (almond meal & sugar) as one of the ingredients. I'm not a big fan of marzipan so just ended up getting some peanut butter cups and assorted regular chocolates. They were quite good but pricey. Also got a gift box of nut cluster chocolates to share with my coworkers.

I was literally going to walk past this candy store and not go in but something told me to go in…read moreand check it out and I am so glad I did. I was in here on a Friday a little after 6pm and no one was in here. I asked one of the young women working here what time they closed and she told me 6:30pm. I then went to check out their back area and oh my they had quite an assortment of Dutch licorice, I was in heaven! I like salty licorice, less sweet and more salty with a good licorice bite and also found one of the brands I really like. I also tried another I did know, just to see what it was like. The brand I am used to I am saving for later as I know what it tastes like. The new brand I got is a bit more sweet than I like but I still like it and it was good I tried it. This is a great shop if youre looking for Dutch style licorice. They also have plenty of award winning chocolates too and a lot of people showed up after I entered and all ordering their chocolates. Id come back here again when in town!

Best fudge in California hands-down, maybe in the country, maybe anywhere…read more. Recs: Walnut Fudge - Maple Pecan - is a bit overtly sweet in my opinion, but it becomes less overwhelming as I eat it - still quite good. But that Walnut fudge - I can't describe it but my man who doesn't really care for sweets/chocolate/fudge/brownies closed his eyes while he was eating because it was so good. But, yeah he couldn't have more than the slightly huge chunk I gave him.

The shop itself is adorable and has an amazing selection of wines, artisan cheeses, fresh-cut meats, and everything you need to build the perfect charcuterie board. One of the best parts? They offer complimentary cheese tastings, so you can sample before you buy! The store is so welcoming how can you not go in! Walk around and see what they have, I'm sure you will find a wine in their wine cellar to take home! If you're in the area, I definitely recommend stopping by, trying a few cheeses, and taking home some delicious treats. This is a must-visit for any cheese lover!

There are many gourmet cheeses, meats, olive oils, whole bean coffees, wines and more. The woman behind the cheese counter invited us to try the cheese samples. There was a lavender cheese and the black cheese with lemon that caught my eye. I bought the black cheese with lemon. The shop associate told me that the black color comes from licorice powder yet you cannot taste the licorice, only the lemon. There were many things I wanted to buy but had to have control. I love that a mother and daughter team run the shop and I loved hearing the mother speak Danish to an older woman that is one of their regular customers. Definitely check out the wonderful gourmet foods here when you visit Solvang.

They genuinely had some interesting jerky like camel jerky, alligator jerky, etc. We sampled and bought some (fried?) garlic snacks that were so strong in garlic flavor but really fun to try. The regular beef jerky didn't appeal to me as much because I often get beef jerky at Costco for a great price. However, the variety of flavors of beef jerky here is pretty great and unique.

It looks so charming and I couldn't get in there fast enough, so as soon as I finish my wine tasting, I went in there and let me tell you. You can find the smallest whimsical fairy make Believe, Stone little Shop. The owner was so helpful and she really really really really enjoys her job at this spot. I believe she's the owner quite frankly, and she was so helpful, so kind she really made this experience an even nicer one to be honest. You can find the cutest little knickknacks in the store great personal gifts quite frankly, I would go and just check it out. Also be careful because since there's a lot of things that can brake. just want to be on the cautious side because the store is really small. You can find plenty of parking on the street on Main Street in Solvang or you can find parking behind their establishment. Either way you have to check out this store.

Smart tactic since the line was growing by the second. Lucky for us we spotted this shop. My eyes caught the reflection of all kinds of candied apples.

I liked the malted milk bits that were the crunch and the perfectly rich chocolate.

I don't really remember except one is lemon flavored, one is espresso, the other two? Not sure, will find out when I try each. So far I tasted the lemon center flavored truffle. I expected the chocolate to be soft & luscious but it's hard shelled, I suppose it's to withstand melting in the heat. The person who assisted with my purchase was efficient, not really forthcoming with details but sufficient. The shop is clean & all the goods are neatly arranged & organized. It smelled to chocolate which was a delight. The candied apples looked very tempting. Not really impressed with the taste & for $19 for 4 pieces, definitely not impressed as I was with Läderach. Overall, it was a neat experience, but not worth repeating.
