How about some Ohioan culture? Anthony-Thomas Chocolates has 13 locations in the Columbus area…read more When you enter the store you are blown away by how neat and artfully displayed everything is. There's so much variety! You can even get Buckeyes packed in an Ohio State Themed Buckeye box. On my first visit, I bought the 16oz. Milk Melt-A-Way Mints and we took it to a family's house. Once we got to the dessert (the mints) there was silence. Everyone was in Nirvana. I secretly sobbed inside when we left the remaining mints behind. It was then I realized I should have just brought half of the box, but I digress. On this current visit, I chose to make my own half pound box from the counter case. Who am I kidding, it wasn't like I just jumped over the counter....but Mackenzie (the manager) was very helpful. Basically, you get 16 pieces, which does not include truffles, so I said, "Just give me two of each flavor from the milk chocolate creams and two from one of the dark chocolate creams." There are 7 flavors, and it seems you cannot find them on the website. So I guess if you want to custom build your box you have to do it in the store. But don't worry, there is so much to chose from on their website! I will definitely be back and try their Buckeyes. And get some more melt-a-way mints.

It has just the right balance of sweet for and old fashioned, & it tastes like the perfect adult s'more! And to pair with any drink you choose; you can also get a s'mores kit and roast your own marshmallows and build a s'more right at your table!

I'd like to try that the next time I go!

That's right the donuts are fresh. The only problem is when you have donuts that good people want access to them all the time. Back to the problem. Their hours are not very supportive of that idea. In fact, it feels like whenever I walk by they're close. That may have something to do with the time I'm walking by, but it'd be nice if they were open more so we could get more donuts. However, it is a great donut shop and feels awesome to support something local.

The cake was very tender and moist and the buttercream frosting was perfect. I'm amazed at the tenderness of the cake after eating horrible grocery store cakes. Kudos to Schneider's bakery for keeping the tradition of having excellent buttercream frosting. I'm not a fan of whipped frosting on cake at all. Anybody else like me that buys cake for themselves and doesn't need an occasion?

The guy working was very friendly and offered some samples. I got my staple, pistachio and since my son loves cookies & cream he gave the cookies and milk flavor a try. Both flavors were excellent and the texture was even better. The shop is kinda small, I can imagine in the summer during peak hours this place can get very busy and seating sparse. Right now it's a bit toasty inside but hopefully it won't be as warm in here as the days get hotter.
