Have you tried their cherries covered in chocolate? If not, you're missing out on something really,…read morereally good. We went to this shop and tried their Christmas chocolate-covered cherries, and they were extremely good!! One of the best things we've tried. I'm not sure if it's a seasonal thing, but I definitely recommend that you go check them out. You won't regret it, for sure. The only thing I didn't like was that we had a lot of trouble paying. The tap payment didn't work, and the option to insert the card didn't work either. We ended up having to give our card number to the employee so she could process the payment manually. Because of that, I'd recommend being prepared and bringing cash. The truffles were okay (I'd say there are other places with better truffles) but but overall, the cherries are absolutely worth going for.

I was extremely impressed with the gentleman behind the counter. I found out later that his name was Scott and he was the store manager. Scott was so incredibly friendly, enthusiastic and the perfect person to be dealing with customers. You could really tell that he loves and cares about his job. It's not often that you find someone in retail with that kind of infectious enthusiasm and charming personality. Fanny May is very lucky to have an employee like him representing the company. You can really tell Scott loves his job as well as dealing with the public. He's certainly in the right profession. He made our visit very enjoyable (and delicious!).

So many different items available for purchase such as gifts, home decorations, candles, party planning, jewelry, clothing and sunglasses. I purchased a pair of sunglasses and earrings.

They've got groceries, meats, even liquor. All in one spot. Super convenient, honestly. I ordered a hot chocolate and a pastry. No name on the pastry, which somehow made it more tempting. It didn't look like anything i had before, so I went for it. Sat outside on their little patio and enjoyed the weather. The hot chocolate was creamy, sweet, with just a slight bitterness at the end and top of that some marshmallows, Really good. The pastry was flaky, light, and dipping it into the hot chocolate made it even better. Staff was friendly and helpful while I stood there deciding. Felt easy, not rushed. I'll be back for sure. Probably to try another unnamed pastry. Or two.
