They also do Alive after 5 in Hamilton and other events that are right in the center of the store. Sara is super sweet. Her products are a lot of home decor, gifts for women, clothes, scarves, jewelry etc. always something new when I go! My favorite part are the lamps. If you are ever in the market for a neat lamp, her husband makes them and they are amazing. All kinds of unique pieces turned into lamps. This is my go-to spot if I need a gift for my mom, sister etc or just something for myself :) She also does events with local Hamilton businesses. I went to a chocolate and wine sampling there and am doing a flower class there in a few days. Keep it up Sara!

They have two counters where you can make your own candle scent. It is so fun!!!! You tell them six scents you like and pick a container. They all cost about $25 for a medium sized candle. Then mix away. The counter hosts offer support during the whole process. Wax is poured and you label. Two hours later you can return to pick up the set candle. My kid mixed mango, orange and lavender- I am shocked by the amazing scent!!!! It's FIRE!!!! Party space is available and they sell a variety of personal items or premade candles also. GREAT fun family or girls outting.

Before checking out me and my friend were checking out the lip gloss and we were very rudely told that we were not allowed to be testing products. This of course is very understandable but It would make more sense if there was some signage or testers available. In most stores this is a normal thing to do. The owner scolded us as if we were children saying that it's "common sense". Afterwards she came back and guilt tripped us saying this is how she takes care of her family and our actions were "unacceptable". We are people just like her and we made a small mistake, no reason to act this way. I did NOT buy the stuffed tomato because I do not believe this business deserved the money. I believe that a right minded individual wouldve just approached the customers and informed them "please do not test the products." But this lady was extremely disrespectful.

It's one of the first places I think of if throwing a party for a certain time of year. Also, with the scarcity of stores that still sell fabric and sewing notions- they have a decent selection of both for my sewing projects. They also carry some decor fabrics and upholstery type fabrics. The staff is always helpful and if the front registers get busy they don't hesitate to open more up. Look for the sale items- they are always a good value.

We visited their location in Oakley, and we were blown away by the service quality, the selection of chocolate delights available for us to choose from, and the gorgeous, quaint little space in which they sell their wonders. * We opted for an array of treats including some of their signature bark, truffle cakes, and so much more. The beauty of Ruby's is that it doesn't just deliver quality, but also, their chocolates are so very affordable. Unlike some store purchased chocolates at $20 a box, we enjoyed a vast amount for a mere $8! Thinking ahead to Valentine's Day...make sure Ruby's is at the top of you list, and support this superbly run local business! * www.rubyschocolates.com * 3923 Isabella Ave, Cincinnati, OH 45209 *

4 stars for the chocolates and 1 extra for the amazing customer service! Certainly good cake…read moretruffles. I first tried Ruby's Chocolates at Martha Stewart's Food & Wine Festival in October in Cincinnati. They were featuring their Red Velvet and Turtle Cake Truffle. They were amazing, so I figured I had to actually go to their location and try more. When I looked up their location, I was surprised to find they are 8 min away from my house. I was super excited. I went by and tried them! I was greeted by Ali, the son of the owner. I also believe he is the Selling/Marketing Director. He gave AAMAZING customer service and was very personable. I ordered the bite size truffle box (12 truffle minis in a box). They had premade ones but I wanted my own flavors. They did this with no question asked or frustration. I had to wait 30-40 min for my custom box to be made but I talked to Ali for the most part. The owner, also came out and spoke as well. I had my youngest daughter with me (3 mon) so they both were admiring her. This business is a mom and two son trio. The other son came out as well at the end! All are very sweet! It was Halloween and the owner's birthday so they threw in 3 chocolate covered Oreos for my oldest daughter (3 year-old). How freaking sweet was that?! The chocolate covered cake truffles I got were Red Velvet, Key Lime, Turtle, Maple Bacon, Cookies and Cream and Chocolate. All of them were good and of course lent a different flavor. I'm not a big Key Lime fan but believe it or not the Key Lime flavor was very good! All of the truffles had a tender moist center with a chocolate outer shell. My favorite was probably Key Lime. I'm normally a huge Red Velvet fan but something about the way they make the Key Lime, stood out to me more. The Cookies & Cream was also very good. The Maple Bacon was good and different. Also, the truffles are pretty rich (especially the chocolate ones) so a 12 mini box will last you awhile. We still have over half a box in the fridge. They store well in the fridge. We take small bites out of them just for a sweet fix and put them back. Overall, Ruby's Chocolates has amazing customer service and good chocolate treats. This place is good for gifts for friends or family depending on the occasion. Definitely give them a try.
