It was very busy when I stopped in, and unfortunately I was on a time crunch, so I didn't get the chance to try the coffee or teas this visit. But honestly, just walking in felt like an experience all on its own. This place feels less like a quick stop and more like stepping into another world for a little while. I'll definitely be back, and next time I'm bringing my favorite people so we can slow down and really enjoy it.

The in-laws being in town was the exact excuse I needed to finally stop in here, and oh heck yeah,…read moreI anticipate many future stops. The place doesn't have a big footprint, but it doesn't need to. Types of chocolates are arranged based on their flavors, like those with peanut butter, those with fruit, those with mint, those with fudge, etc. Trust, there's plenty to choose from, and each flavor has a bin of samples available for you to try. I didn't wanna go TOO ham scarfing down sample after sample, limiting myself to four in order to make a decision about what I wanted to bring home (the winner ended up being Orange With Envy Pecans but the Yellow Jackets were tempting). Pricing is a little steep, but you're getting a really good quality product that's produced locally, supporting a small business. I've been weening myself off generic candy (like Nestle and Mars) because it may be cheap but it just isn't quality or that satisfying ultimately. So I'm glad to have found the Droolin' Moose (which is conveniently about a five minute drive from my house) as an alternative temptation. They do have a loyalty program with a stamp card so that every twelve cups you buy, you'll get lucky number thirteen for free. Huzzah! Yes, all the candies are packaged in cups, which have a fun new design for each season! A little something to collect if you want. ;) I also noticed their catalogue which had many boxes or options to bulk order that reduce the price some. They also offer shipping, which may prove dangerous for my in-laws visiting from California, LOL. They also had various apparel for purchase, as well as greeting cards and little plush moose. The employee working there was courteous and helpful, taking the time to explain the store to us since we were newcomers. The parking lot at this location is quite dinky and only fits five or six cars. Turning in off busy Lyndale can be a smidge nerve-wracking, just be warned.

We stopped in on our way home, and I'm so glad we did! The shopping experience was relaxed and…read morecasual, with friendly customer service that made us feel welcome. There's also a spacious free parking lot, which made the visit even more convenient. One of my favorite things was being able to sample different chocolates and candies before deciding what to buy. My top favorites were the Big Shots, the combination of rich milk chocolate and coconut was absolutely delicious. The Cherry Bombs were another standout!! the chocolate covered cherries were so good its hard to have just one. I was also pleasantly surprised by the Yellow Jackets. I wasn't sure if I would like them, but they completely won me over and will definitely be on my must buy list the next time we visit. They were crunchy and the lemon flavor wasn't artificial at all. Whether you're looking for a thoughtful gift or simply want to treat yourself, this is a great place to stop. The quality of the chocolate is excellent, and for the amount you get, I definitely think it's worth the price. We'll definitely be back!

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!

Cute chocolate/honey shop!…read more NOTE: they have moved to a less visible, and honestly a little less photogenic, location across the river. They are now in a quiet area of businesses in the Harriet Island area, which happens to have lots of nice areas to stroll. This is a shop that sells artisan chocolate and honey. They're super proud of their honey and even invited me to check out the buzzing bee boxes out back! This is good honey; I don't have pure honey too often but this is very sweet stuff. The chocolate bonbons filled with honey are great, perfect blend of the two. You can also get chocolate-drizzled honeycomb which is quite intense and is ideally experienced shmushed onto some toast or creatively combined with something somehow, but it is a good idea to do something like that. And they have chocolate that isn't about honey but is interesting, artisan stuff! And you can sample a whole bunch of the flavors! Get bars of the ones you like or maybe do what I did and buy a mixed bag of little pieces and bring them to a party and let people guess what the flavors are. The owner was very nice to talk to here, so if you want to do some shopping that might involve either chocolate or honey I think you will be glad you came here.
