This was really not the type of place I'm used to. I was being escorted around the area and they chose the lunch location. They had a good variety of items but a lot of things I don't eat. I ordered the soup. . . small bacon corn chowder and a BLT on gluten free bread. Thankfully, I don't think the soup was made with cream or dairy. The broth was too thin (I could be wrong). It was okay. The BLT was tasty. I enjoyed the gluten free bread (tasted like mine). I don't think I'd return but only because I didn't see anything else on the menu that I really wanted to try.

The front of the café, with a pretty long line.

We've had good experiences here in the past and are not ones to leave reviews but our experience…read moretoday was unacceptable. Ordered specialty drinks outside after 3 p.m. Inside was closed so only outside menu was available. Two of our drinks were not as pictured on the board outside (a main ingredient was missing). We approached staff who stated only "sorry we are out of that." We planned to sit outside but there are only 4 chairs (party of 4) and one was dirty so we left to eat elsewhere in town. It was closing time for this business. The two drinks that were incorrect were VERY sour. I ate part of mine ($8 ea) but did not finish and we went to another local business and ordered a different drink for my spouse (tossed both of these in the trash) as she stated Her's was also too sour (and she typically likes sour). We decided to contact the business via social to request a refund. The owner did not take responsibility, blamed us and made false accusations. They stated we were refunded but given the name calling they engaged in and unusual nature of the message we received we told them it appears they must have confused us with another customer so I'm unsure if we were actually refunded. I let them know this and I stated they need to apologize and they then blocked us. We would never act inappropriate in any way. To imply so is insulting. The experience ruined our day. We will never again frequent this business.

Yes, we had to wait since the ice cream treats were made by hand and there was a line of kids & families waiting at the window. I'm an adult and we can wait our turn.

My daughter just brought home a red bag. This red bag is always a cause for great celebration! Any treat coming home from Gabriele's are always tucked in the signature bag...our family favorite is Gabriele's Drunken Cherries. I would hate to know how many hundreds of dollars our family has eaten of these over the years. This last Valentine's Day, as wandered in shortly before closing, I was told that most of my fam had been in there that day... a testament to the goodness of Gabriel the Chocolate Artist. read more

The category says Candy store, and there is lots of that, but there is a lot of other items as well. They have a nice selection of tshirts and souvenirs for the visiting vacationers and lots of specialty food items. I have repeatedly gotten some jars of excellent salsa, and there are all sorts of condiments and other savory items. But we do need to talk about the candy. There is a huge selection of candy that is prepackaged and it is quality product. But the good thing here is the fudge and other homemade chocolate candies. I tried the salted caramel fudge- which was incredibly rich and smooth and just a little salty. mmmmm. And they also make a chocolate square that was Salted caramel covered in dark chocolate. Oh my. There are nonchocolate treats as well, and many of them are available by the pound (1/4 pound minimum for the fudge). It is a fun place to stop and there is lots of good things to choose from. Do stop!!
