They are not easy to find these days, but I grew up loving them and I love them as much now. Regina's has been around since 1926, so they are celebrating 100 years in business. They make their own candy, as well as sell imported candy. They have two stores, the one I visited in St. Paul on St. Claire Avenue and one in West St. Paul. You can also order candy online. This little store is a gem and frankly, I'm grateful that I do not live anywhere near either store, or I would be 50 pounds heavier than I am. I do not have the willpower to resist, although I did refrain from their butter English Toffee (aka Butter Brittle ) and fudge. Everytime I have visited, they have been consistently friendly and helpful. I hope they are around in another 100 years!

I couldn't recommend to stay as far away from this place as possible enough…read more The staff is not trained well, you will get incorrect answers to questions and your kids will be disappointed. I came here for the first time as I live right down the road and I would never recommend this place to anyone. I had an incredibly frustrating experience and unfortunately there wasn't any type of resolution that was given to us - not even an apology. The kid at the register simply told me he was new. I understand things happen but at least have a team meeting or something and get your crap figured out. Extremely disappointed. Not a fun experience. Not a place I'd go back to unless they are able to make things right. I have a daughter in TEARS because of my experience and I have been up all night thinking about what to do. Hence why this review is coming at 5am. Stay away from this place and go somewhere else.

Definitely stop by next time you are in the area.

The store has cups of chocolate organized by type (fruity, peanut butter, nuts, etc). Next to most of the chocolates are buckets with individually packaged cups holding samples, so it's nice to try it before purchasing. It is on the pricier side, with a lot of the smaller cups being around $15-20 each. The quality and taste is worth it though! They also have a punch card where you get a free cup of chocolate after purchasing 12 cups. They offer free gift wrapping which is a nice touch. Service is friendly. The shop is located in a strip mall with plenty of free parking available.

Popped by this sweet little store tonight on the hunt for some gourmet chocolate to bring to a…read morefriend this weekend. I was specifically looking for something local rather than going to a chain chocolate store. The store is tucked behind a Taco Bell and next to a Dollar General, so I wasn't sure as I stepped through the door. But I was pleasantly surprised by the cute little shop that greeted me. Chocolates of all sizes and types were laid out on tables. Everything was labeled (always appreciated) and priced clearly. There were all kinds of chocolates -- dark chocolate, milk chocolate, white chocolate, dipped, molded, filled, etc. There are truffles and chocolate bunnies and also an astounding array of items that would be perfect for Easter baskets in pretty pastel colors. (It is currently late March.) My husband and I took our time browsing the small shop... There is plenty to look at. Along with the chocolates, there are also other interesting treats like toffees and chocolate dipped pretzels. We didn't know until we checked out that there were samples at the counter :-) We really enjoyed the salted caramels, though there was a LOT of caramel inside each one -- good or bad, you decide. We also found a nice box of chocolate turtles for our friend and wound up buying her some toffee too because we couldn't pass it up. Me, I'm a sucker for haystacks, so I bought some of those for me... yet to try, but they look wonderful. The service was great and totally no-pressure while we shopped. But as we checked out a second woman came out from the back (owner I believe) and then insisted on handing us samples and telling us all about products we had already passed up. I appreciated her eagerness and her personal attention -- I believe she was coming from the right place. But at that point I had made my decision and was ready to go. She also told us that they make many of the chocolates right in the back of the shop -- the kitchen is apparently housed in the back of the shopping center. But not EVERYTHING is made in house. Just something to know. They also have a loyalty club, so be sure to get a punch card when you go the first time. Oh, and they have a selection of sugar-free treats for people who are watching their sugar or are diabetic. That's about it... a nice, sweet shop and a great local addition to our business scene.

We all ended up building our own 6-pack of different sodas so we could sample a bunch of unique flavors. In my opinions.. I personally think the coolest thing in the shop was their soda chilling machine thingy--you pop your glass bottle drinks inside, and it chills them down in just a few minutes! (I left mine in an extra couple of minutes to turn it into a slushie, which was so perfect on a hot day). While we waited for our drinks to get ice-cold, we wandered through their massive candy selection. They have everything from nostalgic, old-school retro candies to fun new treats. Once our sodas were ready, we went to the back to play pinball, which was a total blast! Be careful if you bring the kiddies, I feel like you'll be spending a lot of money! This is such a great spot to take out-of-town family and friends for a fun afternoon. The food area wasn't open while we were there, but that just gives us a great excuse to come back soon!
