I happened to see this shop next to Starbucks and decided to check out their caramel corn…read more The proprietor was very engaging and quickly pulled up my request (two bags, no nuts). Pricing was a bit steeper than I anticipated, but so is everything these days. Fortunately I had a bit of cash in my wallet from a recent trip. I ate half a bag in the car before heading home. My wife found the second bag and didn't leave any for me. So, I think the taste was more than satisfactory (perhaps a bit addictive?).

I bought one dark chocolate/sea salt/caramel truffle. I left the store with it intending to enjoy my treat. When I tried to bite into it, it was ROCK SOLID. I could not even bite off a piece of it. So I head back to the store & ask the cashier, "Is this supposed to be hard?". He says, "Well it's a truffle. And it came out of the fridge." I say, "It's not cold, it's just hard. I could have broken a tooth on this!". He says, "Oh well." I say, "OH WELL???". He says, "That's what I said." I say, "Well that's not a very good response from a customer service perspective." He says, "I couldn't care less." I say, "Well that's very clear." He ran a credit to my card to refund me. As I'm walking out the teenager that was helping bag things for customers is slamming my former truffle repeatedly against the counter and it's still one solid piece.

I've visited a couple times over the last few weeks and kept hoping there was just some holiday-season burnout fibs here and there but unfortunately this place has just lost it. Guy at the front just stared customers down, didn't talk until someone came up to check out, just plain uninviting. The bulk candy itself seems to be stored improperly, so many containers left open or the lids not on them, so they were all stale and/or flavorless. There's way better places to grab sweet treats in this mall.

The best was when the carmel corn was still warm. So I started looking for gourmet popcorn tins to gift for the holidays. Even with Black Friday specials, prices for the big name providers were crazy high. Luckily I remembered Candyland. A 2gal tin of Chicago Mix shipped was less than $40. My family will love it.

Literally giving you a plastic divided box is straight out of Whitman Samples play book. Oh and hey don't mix a Carmel with your 9 count box of chocolates those are separate. In the good old days you were able to buy a pound /half whatever of chocolates nope now it's a plastic tray count.

It is more healthy than many alternatives and adds to the flavor particularly of Mediterranean style dishes. There are differences in taste for different types of olive oils and you can sample the many varieties they stock and find what appeals to you. They also have a wide selection of vinegars including white basalmic in many flavors. I make my own vinaigrette using one part vinegar and three parts olive oil. In a large bowl slowly whisk the olive oil into the vinegar until emulsified. Then toss with your salad. Simple, fast , and no added preservatives emulsifiers etc. The store itself is nicely decorated with works of local artists and the staff are friendly and helpful. PS although their toasted sesame oil isn't an olive oil it's a great enhancement poured over vegetables and humus. Treat yourself at Vinaigrette.
