    Unfortunately I think this place relies on its location and not on products or service. There is so…read moremuch potential here, but what you have is an aging store that is more "needs attention" than intentional nostalgia. The candy is old and definitely not fresh, the date shakes were meh at best (tragic, considering where it's located) and a cashier that seems as happy to be here are the stale candy and outdated decor. Definitely a "will not return" and that's a shame.

    Due to the oppressive heat, Jamie W and I were in the mood for a date shake. Like real bad. We had…read morejust finished a cocktail combing expedition on E Arenas Road and decided something thick, sweet, and suckable was needed in a non-alcoholic setting. Now we could've gone to Great Shakes (review: https://yelp.to/mzOC66QAth), but there was a line and we just had no patience. So we walked over to this place because only a handful of people were in here. It wasn't a shake shack but a sweets shop, an old-fashioned, family-run operation. There was just one woman behind the counter, and she was busily handling orders for chocolates and candied apples. We waited our turn and ordered a couple of the $7.99 Date Shakes (Photo 9). They were fine, even without the mini-donuts Great Shakes serves with theirs. I need to give her credit for making it from scratch without any help from the rest of the family. FOOD - 3 stars...good date shake, no frills AMBIANCE - 3.5 stars...look at all those sweets! SERVICE - 4 stars...she works hard for the money TOTAL - 3 stars...a sweet tooth goes far here RELATED - Exploring Palm Springs?

    With the small storefront, I wasn't expecting much from this place. However, I was definitely…read morepleasantly surprised. I always appreciate a business that allows you to sample food products before purchasing. They are a chocolatier, where they make their own chocolates on site. As you walk by the store front, you can see the chocolate being made. They seem to specialize in single origin and specialty chocolate bars. Additionally, they sell truffles and a few other products. If you are a chocoholic like me, you're like going to not want to rush while here. They do have odd hours, and close at 5:00 PM. Good idea to call ahead and make sure they are open. I like fact they are open on Sundays. The lady that helped was very helpful. I plan on returning when I'm in the area.

    While the storefront is small, the experience is quite intimate. I loved the smells you're hit with…read moreupon entering the doorway. I only got to visit them during early Pandemic (2020/2021) so I'm not sure if they started back up/do samplings any more. If I'm looking for a nice gift that represents local goods, Parliament is the spot I like to go. Their single origin chocolate bars are available at a few local spots like Gerrard's. If I could wish a cool unique experience pop up in Redlands, it would be the addition of a chocolate tasting experience here at Parliament, that not only teaches people of the process of chocolate making but the art of chocolate tasting like wine tasting.
