The best chocolate/sweet shop I have ever been to in all my travels. The guys who run this shop are so kind natured, truly lovely and oh so knowledgeable about everything chocolate and sweet! We had such a magical experience in their store yesterday - we were greeted with so much warmth and after much cheery conversation we were asked what type of chocolates we like, and then were recommended different chocolates and sweets based on what we told them - every single chocolate and sweet they suggested was exactly what we would liked - they listened and advised and were so on point with their suggestions (gladly welcomed suggestions as there are so many options in this shop, you could be there all day deciding what to get!). The chocolates at the counter that they are making in this shop are truly something special - we bought a small selection, walked down to the lake to enjoy them and had to go back to get more after our walk. The coconut chocolate is insanely good, as are the assorted fresh berry truffles, and the cherry jelly and raspberry jelly chocolates are genius - never tried anything like them. If you are in Tahoe and you want a magical, joyous experience go to this shop - the chocolates and sweets are magnificent, as are the wonderful humans working there! Thank you so much for a truly heartwarming experience yesterday, we...
Read morethe owner tried to sell a candy mystery grab bag to my son. He advertised the bag as a great deal, $25 value for a $10 bargain, with wonderful candy. After his deceiving pitch, my son decided to purchase the grab bag with his own money. My son opened the bag, which contained vegan, gluten free peanut butter pellets, a rice crispy treat, a cinnamon candy, and EXPIRED cookies! I immediately went to the store to try and exchange just the expired cookies. The owner did not care that the cookies were expired stating that "the cookies are still good after the expiration date" and that "they are wonderful." I was shocked by his response, and tried to reason with him. The owner even tried to trick us by saying that the cookies were Australian-made so the expiration date is later. In the end, the owner would NOT exchange the cookies, and did not give us anything in return. Deceitful, wrong, and...
Read moreWith all the delicious choices in there for a chocoholic, it's hard to even know where to begin.
First of all, it's great to have places like these, locally owned boutique shops that offer the best in the category.
Of course you'll find the usual trays and trays of house chocolates that all scream "pick me, pick me." However, I have a soft spot for fudge and I got a fair sized portion and was it ever so dense, full of flavor and devilishly good. Eating it is like mainlining something awful...ly so rich, it's like sinning in real-time. Even the Pope would indulge.
There's all kinds of sugar stuff in there it's insane, jelly beans, chocolate bars from Europe, Asia, where they make 'em better than the U.S. I'm also a sucker for root beer, which they had plenty of.
And if I get sent to hell for all my sinning, then let...
