The staff were so friendly and very quick! Just a note it's a small store on a relatively busy street so although there is a small parking lot near by try and utilize street parking next to the store and down near by streets! It's also a small store with very limited seating in and outside so don't count on space!

You kick all kinds of ass over Twizzler. BUT. Could you do something about the texture of the licorice? Dear god, it is like biting into a steel-belted radial.

If you ever need a gift for someone, I recommend gifting a box of these chocolates! They have gift boxes available during certain holidays so order ahead to be sure they won't sell out. I follow them on insta and always find their videos of the candy making process so fascinating! Everything is just designed to beautifully that it's almost hard to eat the chocolates, but once you appreciate the design for a bit, trust me, eating the chocolate is worth it! The workers are always so friendly and they make recommendations if needed. There is a mall lot outside to park, but if needed, there is some street parking nearby too.

This was my second time coming to this place…read more The staff is so inviting and friendly and are willing to answer any and every question you have. They made a fresh pot of coffee and even went the extra mile to go get ice as we came in later in the evening and they had run out. I did tell them they didn't need to, but he insisted which I thought was outstanding. This quaint little café is so charming inside. It allows people to gather eat a sweet treat and have general conversation conversations where you can actually hear one another. They do have outside seating too. The chocolate cake was soft and as a non-cake lover I found this very delicious. Definitely worthy of sharing. I ordered a quiche to go. I had mentioned they didn't have the spinach feta pastry that I had before. The gentleman stated we have some in the back, I'm happy to get you one. So I ordered that too. And although this was only our second time coming, the fact that they'll make a fresh pot of coffee in my opinion is key to a great café. I will keep this in my rotation of places to go.

As I was walking to the door, I see a man cleaning the tables. He walks toward the door as I'm walking up to it. We're literally standing face to face with the door in between us. I smile, he is stone faced. I go to open the door as he walks away. The door is locked. I try a few more times, thinking maybe it's me. I look around at the hours again, but next to it is a "we're open" sign. I try maybe 3-4 times more before I give up. I walk to the window and he's sitting at a table toward the back, looking at me. We just look at each other, then he looks at his computer. I turn toward my car, then turn back around and he's still looking at me! I sat in my car, confused. He never looked back up from his computer, so I left. Highly disappointed.

You can even watch them make the soaps in the evenings, most days. Yes, the soaps are expensive, but they're free of artificial ingredients and give back to the community. That's a win in my book :)
