I selected a pound of various chocolates to get exactly what I wanted plus to avoid any possibility of the pre-packaged assortments being stale. These pre-packaged boxes however looked beautiful and all the chocolates were laid out neatly, with plastic wrap covering them so you could see what was inside. I figured the staff would place the chocolates I chose into a similar box and with as much care. Instead, to my horror when I opened the box at home, she had just thrown them into the box! You can see this in the photo attached. It upset my mom and is not the caliber of service you expect from a shop like this, furthermore, it easily could have been avoided: the girl who did it could have just placed a pound of candies into two boxes and tied them together with a ribbon or used a divider to create two layers in one box. There is no excuse, especially when something is clearly intended as a gift, for this sloppiness.

I just visited Thornebrook Chocolates this morning (2/15) for the last time!…read more The conversation went like this: Question: "Do you have any chocolate covered cherries?" Answer: "Yes, we have these." (Clerk pointing to several small boxes behind a glass display case) Question: "May I see one?" Clerk retrieves a box and holds it on her side of the counter. Question: I extend my hand and ask, "May I look at it?" Answer: "No sir. It has alcohol in the cherries. I cant let you touch the box." Question: "The reason I can't look at the box is because it has alcohol?" Answer: "Yes Sir." Customer Departing Comment: "Enjoy your chocolates." Clerk Departing Comment: "Have a nice Day." Query: How does one read the ingredients without holding and reading the box? My wife visited several days before Christmas in a prior year to purchase some Marzipan. She was told they were making some later that day and to come back in the afternoon. When my wife returned she was told it had been made but all of it was sold. Overall, I do not feel customers are valued by this business and would never return!!

The misty-eyed host wearing iconic ice cream parlor attire greeted me and rattled off the holiday discounts immediately setting the tone - it's like you're stepping into a place where sweetness and tradition meet. The vibrant Whirly Pops at the counter are like a candy store mascot, drawing you in with their oversized allure. And then the selection of classics, like Jelly Bellys, Candy Apples, Cotton Candy and M&Ms, immediately brought back a flood of childhood memories. It's like being transported back to simpler times when a bag of those candies felt like a real treasure. Miss Tilly's list of ice cream flavors sounded like a whole other adventure. Delicious titles begging for a taste test - Salted Caramel Praline, Razzle Dazzle, Coconut Almond, Espresso Chip, Candy Craze and Christmas Cookie. And with treats like Tiramisu Truffles, Rice Crispy Treats, Vanilla Cup Cakes, Chocolate Fudge and Gingerbread Bars, it's no wonder I felt that sugar coma coming on. How could anyone possibly choose just one or two when everything smells so good and reasonably priced? This place will really satisfy the sweet tooth of any candy enthusiast.

Seriously, it's a sweet tooth's paradise! After leaving La Hacienda I was craving something sweet. I always pass by this place as I leave La Hacienda and so I had to give it a try. The selection here is insane (in the best way)--so many unique flavors that make it almost impossible to choose. I sampled their Abuelita (Mexican hot chocolate vibes--rich and slightly spicy), Fruity Pebbles (childhood nostalgia in every creamy bite), and Patrón Tequila (yes, tequila in gelato form, and it's as good as it sounds!). But when it came time to make the big decision, I finally settled on Tres Leches and Ferrero Rocher--and WOW. The Tres Leches was a dream come true: velvety, smooth, and perfectly balanced with that classic sweet milk flavor we all know and love. The bites of tres leches cake in between each bite was moist too. As for Ferrero Rocher? Absolute decadence in every bite, with just the right touch of nuttiness and chocolate goodness. Both flavors nailed it on creaminess and texture--it held up beautifully without melting too quickly. And the best part? None of that artificial sweetness. You can tell they use real ingredients. The lady behind the counter was incredibly friendly and clearly knew her stuff. She walked me through the flavors and gave some great recommendations, which made the experience even better. If you're looking for authentic Mexican gelato that's bursting with flavor and texture, this spot is pure gold. Trust me--once you try it, you'll be planning your next visit before you even leave the parking lot.

Their menu is pretty much the same as any other menu that has this ice cream. However the flavor options seem limited compared to others. They don't have any guava, passion fruit, or rum raisin. We ordered a bionico with fresh con mantequilla and it was good but I've had better due to the type of fruit they had which was apple, pineapple, and melon. I still have a craving for this and will need to go to my local spot! I'm not sure about the service since my hubby ordered.
