MMELO Boutique Confections — Restaurant in Columbus

This place is amazing. I wish more people knew about it, because it's a little hidden and I've always been the only customer when I've walked in (though to be fair, I've only arrived towards closing hours). Every time I've walked in here, there's always been a different person behind the counter. And every time, that person has also been amazingly helpful and friendly. So I don't understand any one in this review section who may have commented that they ever had a less-than-amazing customer experience. I don't get a chance to come to MMELO often, but each time I come, there always seems to be a new treat available. Recently, I bought a jar of some "chocolate jam" because it sounded interesting. But I really wish I had stocked up on many jars because that stuff was amazing! Everything I've ever had from here isn't just, "this is pretty good." It's, "OMG, this is EFFING AMAZING and I can't believe a place like this exists in Columbus!" Plus all their confections are...

I highly recommend stopping here before hitting the North Market or coming across the lot for dessert! They have amazing, delicious, creative (think rosemary dark chocolate with chanterelles for example), all natural, chocolate treats with many vegan chocolate options available. The family owned (say hi to Paul and his wife) tea, coffee and treats shop has awesome unusual options for tea such as Butterfly Pea (popular in Thailand) and the regular favorites too. The employees are great people happy to chat or let you be; together they make these amazing items available at the store along the south side of the North Market parking lot (I could throw a rock and hit the market from their location in what formerly was a bar but is now a much more scrumptious space with comfortable seating) and at various hotels and other markets around the area. (City was giving them trouble for creating signage, so take a look at the photo to find them - it's worth...

A fantastic shop. I was doing some last second sightseeing before heading home. Had to stop by the market since it had been recommended by so many people. I was looking for a candy shop, and oh did I find one.

This place uses all natural ingredients. Yes they're a bit more expensive than your typical chocolate, but you're paying for the ingredients and PHENOMENAL service. Paul, the owner, went above and beyond. I'm a very easy customer. I don't need anything too crazy. He insisted that he had to make everything perfect. First little box for a chocolate broke while closing it, have to have a new one. Waited for some time while the customer ahead of me made decisions. Have a complimentary chocolate.

The atmosphere is great, and I'm really bummed that after spending a week in Columbus for work that I didn't find this shop until a few hours before I...
