I got a package of three and Steve and I shared this little box with great enthusiasm! As one would hope there is the smooth chocolate flavor with a notch of heat and spice to really add some fun complexity to it. I love chocolate candies with a spicy heat anyway and I give my ringing endorsement on what Whimsey Chocolate produces! Delicious and I can't wait until I have the opportunity to get more!

I stopped here on my way to Seattle for a Mariners game. I've been on a chicken salad kick and this…read morelittle deli was on my list to try. I got the half order of the chicken salad sandwich and pasta salad as my side. The chicken salad was really good and had little slices of almonds. I could've done without the lettuce or tomato and would've liked some more chicken salad. The pasta salad was not something I would get again. It wasn't good or bad just ok. It had a slight itallian dressing tang and all that was in it was olives. I had a couple bites but didn't want the rest. The lady that helped me was super nice and they have a grandma kitchen feel. They also had a book exchange which I love!

I am brand new to Kalama. Went in with my mom and sister to get lunch. We got a Ruben, pesto…read moresandwich and a tuna all with pasta salad and chips. We watched the sandwiches be made it was sickening to watch them press on the sandwiches and foods with their bare hands. Everything looked like it came premade from a store. The Reuben was toasted too much it hurt my mouth. Nothing had good flavor at all. Pasta salad tasted store bought and was nothing special. And all of our chips were expired. For almost 80$ including tip this was SO not worth it. I will never ever be back and neither will my family.

Wish I would have read some reviews before booking Country Bear for my April 2023 wedding. It was…read morenearly impossible to reach Danielle in the 2 months leading up to the day, and when she finally responded (after ignoring us multiple times and for multiple weeks) we heard many excuses. She was so unresponsive that we had backup plans in case she didn't show up on the day. My last payment went missing on her end and took over a week for her to find. I had to ask her at least 4 times to update our contract. I have emails stating there was no oven on sight, but she showed up with uncooked food expecting an oven. The venue manager came to the rescue and let us use the oven in her apartment on site. This issue resulted in food being served late. My friends and family who helped set up décor at the venue heard her and her staff complaining about the space (it was a very small venue). I called her the night before to ensure she had everything she needed. She did not answer the phone, and then texted me the morning of my wedding day asking if I had cups. As part of our contract we paid for real glassware which apparently she forgot. Instead she had to run out and get plastic disposable. I will say that the food was pretty good, and she gave me a handful of tasty menu options in my budget. She was thorough helping me with a cocktail menu and how much alcohol to buy, and even brought a mixer that she already had on hand for one of the drinks (she sub contracted the bartender).

Where do I even start? If I could rate Bear Country Catering 0 stars, I would. It was an absolute…read moreawful experience working with Danielle and team. Her poor business managment skills, lack of communication, and ability to make up an excuse for every issue is just the start. It was so bad working with Danielle and this company that we were reaching out to other catering companies days before our wedding in an effort to ensure we were going to have food. Below is a few of the issues we had with this business for our August 2022 wedding. - Zero communication after paying deposit. - Excuse for every issue in not being able to communicate. - 30 min late arriving to venue for wedding - They forgot knives for our 200 guests - Ran out of drink cups that they were supplying within 5 minutes of serving - Half the staff that was promised - They forgot table runners - Unprofessional staff Saving the best for last.... We had 40 people that DID NOT eat. We were notified the morning of the wedding that guests would need to serve themselves for everything but meat, that was not our original plan. The sides ran out so quickly and the meat was not served to 40 people. We paid for 220 people. Called Danielle multiple times the week before to let her know that we would be more around 200. (Trying to be courteous) We had 194 folks show up and still they still ran out. At the end of the day, save yourself the awful experience my wife and I had to go through and find someone else to cater your event.

I will start by saying I have loved Red Leaf since they opened up in Woodland many years ago. I've…read moregone to the Kelso ones and all have been great. I was pleasantly surprised to see one in Kalama as my in laws live up the road. My experience at this one was really off. I ordered the 20 oz Mayan Mocha with almond milk and they wanted ~$8.5 for it. The sign said $6 for a 20oz. I asked how it came out to that. She said almond milk was .85 cents I was like okay then it should be like $7 with taxes. She said the signs are old and it was ringing up ~7.65 for a 20 oz then .85 for the almond milk. I asked how much was the 16 oz, she said ~$6.45 with taxes for the order then when I went to pay said it was like $7.25. I really don't get the extra charge for the milk alternative either. Milk and almond milk are comparable in price. It's about $4.5 a gallon. Starbucks started to charge one single price regardless of milk option/alternative. I left without coffee this day. I don't think I've ever done that. Warning to customers, watch and be cognizant of what they actually charge you per drink. Pricing is mysterious. I don't like being baited and switched in price.
