Literally giving you a plastic divided box is straight out of Whitman Samples play book. Oh and hey don't mix a Carmel with your 9 count box of chocolates those are separate. In the good old days you were able to buy a pound /half whatever of chocolates nope now it's a plastic tray count. The selection is reduced but thankfully they added forever shelf life cotton candy and Necco's...use to really like this place but 0 thought was given to carrying over any atmosphere or creating a new one. Oh well it was good while it lasted.

The chocolates were great but the fun is gone. I suggest better lighting in the chocolate case, get rid of the cheap plastic trays...and why the PEZ dispensers and popcorn and Easter grass. Not good.

If i could give this store a -10 I would. I absolutely DO NOT recommend. Horrible product quality,…read moreand complete lack of customer service. I bought one dark chocolate/sea salt/caramel truffle. I left the store with it intending to enjoy my treat. When I tried to bite into it, it was ROCK SOLID. I could not even bite off a piece of it. So I head back to the store & ask the cashier, "Is this supposed to be hard?". He says, "Well it's a truffle. And it came out of the fridge." I say, "It's not cold, it's just hard. I could have broken a tooth on this!". He says, "Oh well." I say, "OH WELL???". He says, "That's what I said." I say, "Well that's not a very good response from a customer service perspective." He says, "I couldn't care less." I say, "Well that's very clear." He ran a credit to my card to refund me. As I'm walking out the teenager that was helping bag things for customers is slamming my former truffle repeatedly against the counter and it's still one solid piece.

Not a huge fan of this place. Went a ton a few years back and the service was kind and friendly and…read morethere were many types of great candy to choose from, but that's all changed now. I've visited a couple times over the last few weeks and kept hoping there was just some holiday-season burnout fibs here and there but unfortunately this place has just lost it. Guy at the front just stared customers down, didn't talk until someone came up to check out, just plain uninviting. The bulk candy itself seems to be stored improperly, so many containers left open or the lids not on them, so they were all stale and/or flavorless. There's way better places to grab sweet treats in this mall.

The in-laws being in town was the exact excuse I needed to finally stop in here, and oh heck yeah,…read moreI anticipate many future stops. The place doesn't have a big footprint, but it doesn't need to. Types of chocolates are arranged based on their flavors, like those with peanut butter, those with fruit, those with mint, those with fudge, etc. Trust, there's plenty to choose from, and each flavor has a bin of samples available for you to try. I didn't wanna go TOO ham scarfing down sample after sample, limiting myself to four in order to make a decision about what I wanted to bring home (the winner ended up being Orange With Envy Pecans but the Yellow Jackets were tempting). Pricing is a little steep, but you're getting a really good quality product that's produced locally, supporting a small business. I've been weening myself off generic candy (like Nestle and Mars) because it may be cheap but it just isn't quality or that satisfying ultimately. So I'm glad to have found the Droolin' Moose (which is conveniently about a five minute drive from my house) as an alternative temptation. They do have a loyalty program with a stamp card so that every twelve cups you buy, you'll get lucky number thirteen for free. Huzzah! Yes, all the candies are packaged in cups, which have a fun new design for each season! A little something to collect if you want. ;) I also noticed their catalogue which had many boxes or options to bulk order that reduce the price some. They also offer shipping, which may prove dangerous for my in-laws visiting from California, LOL. They also had various apparel for purchase, as well as greeting cards and little plush moose. The employee working there was courteous and helpful, taking the time to explain the store to us since we were newcomers. The parking lot at this location is quite dinky and only fits five or six cars. Turning in off busy Lyndale can be a smidge nerve-wracking, just be warned.

We stopped in on our way home, and I'm so glad we did! The shopping experience was relaxed and…read morecasual, with friendly customer service that made us feel welcome. There's also a spacious free parking lot, which made the visit even more convenient. One of my favorite things was being able to sample different chocolates and candies before deciding what to buy. My top favorites were the Big Shots, the combination of rich milk chocolate and coconut was absolutely delicious. The Cherry Bombs were another standout!! the chocolate covered cherries were so good its hard to have just one. I was also pleasantly surprised by the Yellow Jackets. I wasn't sure if I would like them, but they completely won me over and will definitely be on my must buy list the next time we visit. They were crunchy and the lemon flavor wasn't artificial at all. Whether you're looking for a thoughtful gift or simply want to treat yourself, this is a great place to stop. The quality of the chocolate is excellent, and for the amount you get, I definitely think it's worth the price. We'll definitely be back!

We were walking down Main St on our way to the food truck festival when we came across Amy's…read moreCupcake Shoppe. Truthfully, I was on the hunt for a bathroom, but was more than willing to grab a sweet treat while we were there. I had already peeked at what people were enjoying out on the patio, and on such a perfect spring day, it was hard to pass up. We ended up trying a few macarons. They were beautifully displayed and there were so many flavors to choose from. We had a family dinner later that day, so they felt like a great option to bring along. We stopped in closer to 1pm so I'm guessing the selection of donuts and cakes was a bit picked over compared to the morning hours. That said, they still have a good variety and I would definitely go back earlier in the day to try one of those donuts! We had a few questions about how the macarons would hold up in a warmer car, and the employee helping us was happy to answer everything. It seemed like the owner was there as well and heading out for the day. She was very kind, especially to let us use the bathroom. One quick note, Google shows Amy's Cupcake Shoppe as permanently closed, so they may want to look into updating that. Overall, a really great stop and one I'm glad I stumbled into - those usually are the best!

You order at the counter, take a number and they bring the food to your table. Customer service is average. This time we got the steak salad, a side of homemade chips, and a pastry. The salad was amazing and we loved the chips. My only disappointment is that they don't serve lates or cold brew coffee. For having a brunch cafe vibe you'd think they'd want to do this. Thankfully there is a caribou in the same lot.
