From spicy, hot, and sweet Sriracha sauce to green foaming sugary candy that looks like it's packed into an aerosol can. (Is it really?) I bought some Turkish Delight here for around $10 and it came with 20 pieces which I thought was a good deal, and I bought a gummy pizza which was around $20 which was actually the size of a small 10 inch pizza and had gummy meat looking pieces. The Turkish Delight had a price sign, the gummy pizza didn't. My daughter also bought some odds and ends and I quickly spent $50. The cashier was neutral. It was late in the evening and I think we may have been their last customers before they closed. Since it's literally decked to the halls, and jam packed with candy you get a feeling like you have to buy EVERYTHING. Prices seem to be on some items and not on others which I didn't favor. If I would have known how much the gummy pizza was I wouldn't have bought it. Also, with all the candy in close proximity to each other the colors inside the stosorta run together. If you're looking to make a lot of candy choices in your life this is a good place, yet you might get overwhelmed and spend a lot too!

Our mixed selections included dark chocolate almonds, dark chocolate peanuts, butterscotch chews, dark coconut special, dark peanut butter heart, milk chocolate peppermint pattie, lemon truffle, marshmallow egg, dark cherry cordial, dark chocolate chip truffle, and others. It's hard to pick a fave, especially of the dark chocolate variety, but the dark chocolate almonds never disappoint. Service was slow with just one worker helping a line of customers on a Saturday afternoon and each customizing boxes of chocolates. But the lady was friendly, and I didn't run into any problems paying with a gift card. Still, it was so inefficient, it's good I wasn't in a hurry on this day. The place was set up with plenty of specialty items for grads and teachers, and a week ago with Mother's Day gift options.

The female cashier who originally helped me was kind, welcoming, and handled my items with care. I purchased about half a bag of candy from her, and everything was pleasant. I later decided I wanted some dark chocolate, so I returned to make another purchase. By this point, the store was getting busier, and another employee stepped in. He asked whether the remaining candy was mine. I explained that it was not mine anymore because I had decided not to purchase it. Instead of simply leaving it at that, he continued confronting me about the candy and the original $43 price. I had already decided that $43 was far too much for a small bag of gummy candy, so I only purchased the portion I wanted and left the rest behind. His attitude toward me was rude and unnecessarily confrontational. While I was paying for my chocolate, he even threw it onto the scale rather than handling it with the same basic courtesy the previous cashier had shown. When I pointed it out, he picked it up and gently placed it down. I asked why he couldn't have handled it that way in the first place, and he continued arguing with me about the candy. At that point, I told him that he was being rude and disrespectful. There were children nearby, so I chose my words carefully and left the store. I understand that employees have to protect their merchandise and can question customers when necessary. However, there is a respectful way to handle those situations, and this was not it. I would have happily taken my business elsewhere if I had known I would be treated this way. Unfortunately, based on this experience, I Definitely won't be returning. Also, I must note for anyone wanting to buy candy in bulk: the gummies taste rancid. Whatever the store smells like is exactly what the candy tastes like...

Amazing Chocolate Class & Delicious Treats!…read more I'm rating this based solely on the chocolate class and their chocolates--I haven't visited their pop-up store in Concord, but I had the pleasure of attending their class in Oakland. First off, the chocolate is absolutely delicious! Second, the owners are incredibly kind and accommodating. The entire family is so welcoming and friendly, making the experience even more enjoyable. We were lucky to have our class led by the owner himself, Michael Dunn, who made the session both informative and fun. Parking was conveniently located right in front of their Oakland location, and we were fortunate to have a smaller, more intimate class. Everything was well-organized--from the hairnets and aprons to the chocolates and dipping stations. They shared insights into the chocolate-making process, along with a bit of history and its significance, which added a cool educational aspect to the experience. This is such a fun activity, whether you're with family, on a date, or even solo. Honestly, it would also make for a fantastic work team-building event! And the best part? Taste testing! Everything was fresh and absolutely delicious. Thank you for an amazing class and incredible chocolates!

I've purchased this apple several times at Rachel Dunn Chocolates, which was a chocolate shop on Detroit Ave. in Concord. The apple is juicy and sweet. The caramel is just the right amount so it's not overly sweet. I ordered one for dessert for Christmas. It's refreshing after a big dinner.The apple is huge, and it easily can serve 8 people with a good size wedge. The literature that comes with the apple says it can serve 8 to 12 people. It's best to take the apple out of the refrigerator 8 hours before serving so that the caramel and chocolate are easily sliced. Once we forgot and then the chocolate was brittle and broke into pieces when we sliced it.Customer service is great. I wasn't able to get through on the phone line to order so I sent an email. This was 4 days before Christmas, and I didn't think anyone would actually get back to me, but someone called! I was able to get my order in and have this for Christmas. It comes in a pretty gift box.

Oh, and I was about 3 espresso martinis deep (shoutout Original Joe's), which probably contributed to the financial confidence. My friend had been RAVING about Läderach in a South Bay mall, so I went in. I'm not gonna lie, it's a little intimidating at first because there are HELLA choices and everything looks a bit too good to eat ya know where it may not taste as good. Thankfully, the staff was super friendly, professional and patient and they'll let you sample different chocolates, which obviously helped. I tried one truffle, purchased two and grabbed four smaller individually wrapped pieces of their chocolate bark. And I LOVEEEE a good presentation, so the individual packaging and cute little bag had me feeling very pleased with my purchase. I only ended up spending around $20, which got me two small truffles about the size of a quarter and four pieces of bark, LOL i said "only"... So yes, this is definitely bougie chocolate and you're not walking out with a pound of candy for $20. BUT LEMME TELL YOU, it was soooo worth it. The chocolate was GOOD good. Rich, fresh, creamy, and the bark especially was amazing. I completely understand the hype now. Will I abandon See's? Absolutely not.
