And the details with the presentation is also above the others. Personally I do have one other place that beats this one. I would recommend this place to check out as they have so many other options to try. And they had other kataifi flavored bars like hazelnut. They are also at the Iowa City farmers market during the warmer months!

RUN, don't walk, to The Marion Chocolate Shop! This place is absolutely amazing, and I honestly…read moreloved everything about it. We went a few days after Christmas, and enjoyed our experience. The store front is very cute, and the interior is very cozy. But above all else: the CHOCOLATE! There was a wonderful aroma when you walked in. The owners take great pride in their craft, and it absolutely shows. They are incredibly knowledgeable and competent, yet still find opportunities to further their expertise. We bought so much, as it was hard to choose just a couple items. So far we have loved everything. One fun surprise: the chocolate covered Twizzlers - trust me, they are worth it. I think they would also be awesome covered in dark chocolate too. The chocolate espresso with espresso salt (I think that was the name - please correct me if I'm wrong) was AMAZING, and I think my favorite...if I *had* to pick one favorite. They have also figured out how to ship around the US, which is wonderful, because we live in Texas, and can now get their chocolates delivered to us. I also love how they care about humanity. I love that this business took COVID safety seriously during the height of the pandemic, and chuckled at the art that supported mask wearing and distancing, when it was very necessary. Plus, there support of the LGBTQ+ community warms my heart. Sorry for the novella. The TLDR version is this: great store, AMAZING chocolates, fantastic humans. Make plans to frequent this wonderful business.

The staff were super nice as they let me switch out the flavors on my banana split, great place. Only eating 4 stars and not 5, because I walked home in hot weather with the shallow ice cream tray they gave me for my plentiful banana split, and my ice cream melted like all over all of my clothes. Partly my fault, but seller and/or buyer beware.

The experience made the atmosphere feel much less welcoming than I had previously experienced, because of those experiences, I'm likely not to return.

This is compared to the other local ice cream shops and their prices for serving. Nevertheless it is amazing ice cream!!
