I decided to make a little road trip to Abdollah Candies on my way to bingo at Treasure Island and…read morealthough it was a bit out of the way, it was completely worth it. I could not believe how big the store was. There is so much variety and such a wide selection of both candy and gift items. The candy is incredible. They feature a candy of the month and even offer samples. While we were there, we tried a truffle with raspberry in the center and it was really good. One of my favorite finds was tucked in the back corner...kind of a hidden gem. They have marked down candy that does not quite meet their quality standards. It might look a little different or vary in size, but it still tastes the same. Totally worth checking out. We picked out a variety to bring to bingo including butter toffee, sea sale caramel, peanut butter cups, and a pecan cluster. Everything was delicious. The store itself was very clean, including the bathrooms, and it smelled amazing from the second we walked in. My only callout is that the employees were not especially friendly. We did visit about 45 minutes before closing, so maybe that played a role, but it was not the warm welcome I had expected. So much so that I felt weird taking photos (which is reflected here). All in all, still a really fun stop and absolutely worth the trip.

Wow! My first time being here, to say there is a lot of choices is an understatement! I've been to…read moreother chocolate stores, but this felt next-level. Finally settled on butter toffee and dark chocolate truffles. So very good! They were also sampling a fruit creme covered in chocolate, very flavorful!

Cute chocolate/honey shop!…read more NOTE: they have moved to a less visible, and honestly a little less photogenic, location across the river. They are now in a quiet area of businesses in the Harriet Island area, which happens to have lots of nice areas to stroll. This is a shop that sells artisan chocolate and honey. They're super proud of their honey and even invited me to check out the buzzing bee boxes out back! This is good honey; I don't have pure honey too often but this is very sweet stuff. The chocolate bonbons filled with honey are great, perfect blend of the two. You can also get chocolate-drizzled honeycomb which is quite intense and is ideally experienced shmushed onto some toast or creatively combined with something somehow, but it is a good idea to do something like that. And they have chocolate that isn't about honey but is interesting, artisan stuff! And you can sample a whole bunch of the flavors! Get bars of the ones you like or maybe do what I did and buy a mixed bag of little pieces and bring them to a party and let people guess what the flavors are. The owner was very nice to talk to here, so if you want to do some shopping that might involve either chocolate or honey I think you will be glad you came here.

They had a special for $26 for 30 lollipops. If you have never had a See's lollipop, they are better than any lollipop you have ever had. Super rich and creamy and flavorful. They have a lot more flavors than they had when I was a kid. There was only chocolate and caramel and butterscotch when I was a kid. Now they have flavors like sugar free stuff, coffee, vanilla, just too many to name. They are so wonderful. The lady at the checkout was very nice and we even got a few samples of a chocolate coconut piece of candy when we went in. See's was a big thing in California, so I am glad to see some in Minnesota.

If i could give this store a -10 I would. I absolutely DO NOT recommend. Horrible product quality,…read moreand complete lack of customer service. I bought one dark chocolate/sea salt/caramel truffle. I left the store with it intending to enjoy my treat. When I tried to bite into it, it was ROCK SOLID. I could not even bite off a piece of it. So I head back to the store & ask the cashier, "Is this supposed to be hard?". He says, "Well it's a truffle. And it came out of the fridge." I say, "It's not cold, it's just hard. I could have broken a tooth on this!". He says, "Oh well." I say, "OH WELL???". He says, "That's what I said." I say, "Well that's not a very good response from a customer service perspective." He says, "I couldn't care less." I say, "Well that's very clear." He ran a credit to my card to refund me. As I'm walking out the teenager that was helping bag things for customers is slamming my former truffle repeatedly against the counter and it's still one solid piece.

I've visited a couple times over the last few weeks and kept hoping there was just some holiday-season burnout fibs here and there but unfortunately this place has just lost it. Guy at the front just stared customers down, didn't talk until someone came up to check out, just plain uninviting. The bulk candy itself seems to be stored improperly, so many containers left open or the lids not on them, so they were all stale and/or flavorless. There's way better places to grab sweet treats in this mall.

Masterpiece Chocolates is a fairly new store that focuses on making high quality chocolates with either local or sustainable sourced ingredients. The assorted truffles we sampled were all of very good quality. I especially liked their Raspberry Truffle, it had a bright and fresh berry pop with each bite. Turns out the raspberries are locally sourced from their own backyard garden. They have a standard menu as well as a few rotating feature flavors to choose from. They are still a pretty small operation so hours are somewhat limited but well worth the trip to try out the chocolates! A lot of love goes into their products and you can taste it!
