Since then she is continuing to produce products and flavors that live up to the Dallmann name! Definitely Gourmet Quality!!! Isabella and her staff are true artists when it comes down to creating mini art pieces with unique flavors to choose from. You get to customize your order online (as this establishment is not a storefront) make your payment and it will be shipped to you. By special appointment only you can do a pick up. I suggest reaching out to them in order to arrange that. Her business facility is in an industrial complex shared with other family owned businesses and mainly this establishment is only for her private preparations of her delicious creations! Kept very clean and functional! We've been sporadic as customers ever since we got to pipe in the Grenache ourselves and sample the chocolate making process & yummy goodness! She's got very creative packaging too. So a special occasion can be very personalized too. Dark, milk, and even vegan options available. You've a choice to swap or double up on a flavor choice if she happens to run out of a particular selection. Truly spectacular products. You might even see them at a chocolate fest, or even wine or food pairing type event elsewhere! This time we tried a bar in conjunction too a chocolate box and my daughter is happy with it! I mean who doesn't love chocolate for any occasion but February is just that more special in our home. Thanks Bella and staffers! You're the best!

They refused to give us money back for the ice cream because we didn't have the trash and because "they don't own it"

The employees are very helpful. For example, I was looking for a specific item for a DIY birthday centerpiece and they didn't have enough in stock, so without hesitation they called the Escondido store to check their inventory. If DIY isn't for you, don't worry they have plenty of items (Pinterest worthy) ready to complete your party. They have themed party items and traditional party items as well. I frequent this location because there is plenty of parking. They accept cash or card, but there is a fee ($.35) for card if your purchase is under $5.00. MexCandy offers a big selection of food/treat items found Mexico. It's convenient to get these authentic items locally. Tons of candies, chips, and cookies to choose from.

Firecracker, Churro, Honeycomb, and Spicy Maya! Tastes so good!

I've order a couple of times from Asia and all my orders were delicious!…read more My first order was for custom macarons for my sister-in-laws graduation. I ordered 4 dozen pink and white marbled with a gold paint streak. The filling was raspberry vanilla. These were the best! My 5 year old started eating a few as soon as we picked them up. I even had to sneak a few for myself before I brought them to the party. Everyone at the party loved them and had multiples! My second order was for Father's Day cookie bundle. These tasted amazing! There were 3 different flavors Blueberry/Biscoff Cookie, Raspberry/Pistachio, and Nutella/Strawberry. My favorite were the Raspberry/Pistachio cookies. For this order I needed to have them shipped to myself as I'm in the South Bay and Asia is in North County. The cookies were delivered without any damages. I bought this order for my husband and my mom (her birthday was Father's Day weekend) and I ended eating most of the cookies! I would add some pictures but I haven't taken any as I was too busy eating everything! If you are looking to order cookies or macrons, you need to order from Asia! You won't be disappointed!

Their cookies especially have a nice…read morebalance of ingredients that don't really clash with one another like you would normally get in regular store-bought cookies. You can really taste the homemade aspect of these treats as each ingredient is distinct and flavorful. It just goes to show that they really do craft these sweets with love and meticulous care! Shipping speed was also quick and arrived on time with no issues. I have yet to receive a broken/crumpled cookie and that's all due to the fact that their packaging skills are amazing! All in all, their sweets are delish and I look forward to every lunch break just so I can treat myself to them! ~

You can tell everything is handcrafted with real care. If you're looking for top-quality chocolate from a local San Marcos small business that actually takes pride in what they make, this is the place. The truffles are fantastic and there's a great variety to choose from. Dayleen clearly knows her craft, and it shows in every bite. Highly recommend I'll definitely keep coming back.

I got to try a Macaron making class and it was a fun experience. It was supposed to take 2.5 - 3 hours. The other party was late so we started about 10 minutes late and we went way over 3 hours. The class is very hands on. You get detailed instructions, and a template for the Macaron shapes. The instructor is the owner, and she is Cordon Bleu trained and loves making Macarons and Chocolate. She will tell you all about her schooling, background, experiences, and the history of the Macaron. The instructor will walk you through the process step by step, explaining why you have to be precise and follow each step completely and in order if you want to get good results. She also explains how you may need to add a little extra of an ingredient based on the humidity, the science behind it, etc. You make the Macaron shells and you also make Italian butter cream filling to put in the Macaron. You will get 14-16 delicious Macarons depending on how you follow the template design setup. Enjoy my photos.
