This sweets shop offers a variety of chocolate treats, ice cream, and other confections. The staff here is always friendly and welcoming and even when they're busy they're happy to answer questions and make sure you get what you're looking for. There are treats available on the shelves around the store, as well as an ice cream counter, and then chocolates and other treats behind the counter. Some of my favorites are the cinnamon hard candies, the honeycomb candy, and the mint chocolates. We love picking up our favorites plus a few new items to try. They make their items in house, so it's not rare to see them working on some treats while you're in store- and if you're lucky they may even offer you some fresh samples- YUM! There are some tables to enjoy your treats right away and if you're purchasing them as a gift they can wrap them up specially for your recipient. On top of their regular items they also make specialty items for the holidays.

The chocolate is a bit soft, something I was not expecting. The fillings are soft too. The lemon one was so nice and tart. I really enjoyed it. Inside was very cute with a wall full of other candy on display. Plenty of tables inside as well.

They are serving some small bites to taste at the cashier and the flavors are not your usual. Can you imagine a limoncello flavored chocolate?! I tried it and it was delicious! Deep chocolate flavor with the hint of tangy that is just well balanced. The service is excellent! The staff are very friendly and will gladly accommodate requests and make recommendations based on your preference. It's a nice little shop with cozy sitting areas. My friend I went there during Christmas season and the decorations will make you want to sip hot chocolate and just enjoy the sweet moment. I ordered the hot mocha, which normally I wouldn't order because most places just serve it like sweet coffee that has an overpowering chocolate taste but not at The Chocolate Architect. Their hot mocha is legit mix of espresso and cocoa, the good quality cocoa. I highly recommend this place!

What an amazing concept... beer/wine pairings with chocolate...okay - sign me up!…read more While I wasn't able to get the full experience (we had just finished dinner and couldnt really fit another bite/sip and were just exploring the Palladio), I was able to talk to one of the workers - Melissa - who let me know all about the business and their offerings. Can I just say- when someone loves what they do- it shows and really makes the experience so much better! I loved Melissa's personality and she was so sweet and patient to answer any questions we had. They always have chocolate samples and she even offered me a sample of the 3 wine slushie flavors they had. I tried the lavendar chocolate and the pink barbie rosé slushie, blue hawaian chardonnay slushie, and chocolate (I think red blend based) mint slushie. All were so nice and refreshing on a warm almost summer day. Melissa also showed us all the different flights and pairings they do and how she came to work there and her experience there. I loved her back story and her passion for the business. As for the ambiance, there is a small area to sit inside with some chairs and tables and even more comfy cushiony options and also an outdoor patio where you can enjoy people watching outside and live music nearby on Friday nights (when weather is nice) I definitely wanna return and get the full experience, but from those 10 minutes of being there - I know what a great spot it is. Definitely go check it out.

As soon as we walked in, the ambiance was super inviting--pink, cute, and just a really fun vibe. They had a whole wall of goodies like hot chocolate, Easter eggs filled with Dubai-style chocolate (peanut butter and hazelnut), and we even got to sample a lavender caramel, which was so good. They're known for their macarons, so we grabbed a box along with some coconut chocolates. We also got to try a macaron ice cream sandwich--and I can't lie, it was amazing. I actually went back after dinner and bought three more because I couldn't stop thinking about it! The staff were so welcoming and helpful, which made the experience even better. I'm already looking forward to going back and trying more items.

The price is very reasonable for homemade cookie. - Rascal (peanut butter & fudge): the fudge is so chocolaty delicious! The cookie was a tad too sweet for me but the peanut butter flavor was really smooth and prominent. This is a soft cookie type with chewy texture yet not crumbly - just what I like! - M&M's: the cookie was perfect! Not too sweet & chewy.

The vanilla latte and berry crepe were absolutely delicious--both were perfectly made and full of flavor. I also really enjoyed the French onion soup, which was rich and comforting. What really stood out was the exceptional service. KJ was phenomenal--he checked in on every customer and made sure everyone felt welcomed and taken care of. His attentiveness and thoughtfulness truly elevated the entire experience. It's rare to see that level of genuine care in customer service. I'll definitely be coming back and highly recommend this place to anyone looking for both delicious treats and outstanding hospitality.

I didn't pay attention to the pastry counter & will def try something from there next time!

I have a love hate relationship with Toffee. I love it. I hate that I am powerless against it and…read moreNo 12 step program nor ECT will cure me of my addiction to it. In the case of Crack'd its much much worse. The toffee is otherworldly and its impossible to put down. I only have experience with the Original Toffee. Its buttery crunchy taste with a slight smokiness and vanilla undertones is among the best I have tasted. The almonds help cut the sweetness and add a needed savor componenet to the whole affair. Its coupled with the semi sweet chocolate which for my palate is perfect. Full on milk chocolate would be too overwhelming IMHO. Its a small family run local business and has excellent customer service. They can be found locally at several grocery stores or at fairs and the like. Better yet they have a website that allows for super easy ordering. I'm not in the habit of making requests in reviews but I for one would love to see: Toffee with just the almonds Toffee with pistachios and lastly I throw down the gauntlet with some Honeycomb toffee!

The absolute best ice cream spot in town!!…read more Whenever I'm in Folsom I always go out of my way to drop by and see what new flavors are available, but a classic is always birthday cake. Handel's is a crowd pleaser with the whole family every time with the variety of flavors they have, vintage diner ambiance and amazingly friendly staff. I've had some delicious sundaes scooped by Ashley L, I'd highly recommend asking for her next time you're in! You won't leave the shop thinking "dang, they cheated me on my scoop!" but instead the exact opposite because I'm sure you'll be walking out with more than you can stomach. 15/10 spot, don't miss it!

I could blame it on the day, but the amount of filth on the base of the toilet tells me this bathroom has not been cleaned properly in ages!!!
