Their chocolate has always been amazing however if you cant actually buy it whats the point. Full story below. I had 3 things i wanted; non perils, mint cream chocolates, and an advent Calendar. Went on a Thursday at 12:30 about half an hour after opening. Maybe thats why they didn't have much. I managed to get the non perils. Out of the mint creams and they had empty boxes for the advent calendar but didn't offer to fill one and said they were out. I got the non perils and left. Then I looked online about ordering since the others weren't in stock and it says they're not taking orders at this time. It's a shame and they might not last much longer.

Everyone in the store was lovely & there's a cat hanging around for petting, what better way to spend some time on a Saturday. Hours are seasonal, so plan accordingly.

What a great find! I ended up coming here simply because I found a parking spot right out front of…read morethe store. My kids were freezing! So we ended up going inside to warm up. I was dad of the year since I never take them to candy shops! But what I found was just so great about this place was the unique offerings. It's a family tradition to make gingerbread houses and I found all the old time candy I used to decorate the gingerbread houses with my mom. They have ribbon candy, and just about any kind of candy you can think of. They also have clear toy candy, which is a very old type of candy that is very rare to find. I spent a near fortune getting clear toy candy at an old time shop in Philadelphia last year. And loved the selection this shop had. It still wasn't cheap but nowhere near what I paid in Philly! My kids couldn't help but pick out some candy for themselves and I got 2 bags of gummy candy that was about the freshest gummies I've ever had. Lastly, the shop has a really fun throwback of those quarter dispensers where you can put in the coins and get either a handful of candy or a toy. My kids were less interested in this. But it brought back memories for me of growing up in PA, and seeing these machines at all the local grocery stores. This shop is fantastic and I hope they continue to thrive.

They even gave us the tip to look in the 3 back windows of the building on the way out. We did, and we saw about 10 people hand rolling pretzels. YES....they hand roll each (big) pretzel.
