A friend of mine was going to Oshkosh so I asked him to get me a variety of chocolates. I asked him…read moreto get me three pounds. I live about 200 miles away, but he's from Milwaukee so it made sense and I appreciate it. Anyway, it was the end of the season so they were only selling pre-boxed creams and nuts inn1 lb. boxes. These were the best chocolates I've ever had. Not a bad one in any of the boxes. No pinks, or oranges, or lemons. Just the ones I love. Maple creams, coconut, vanilla, chocolate and then the nutty ones were fabulous. I like dark chocolate over milk chocolate but both were really good. I plan to visit Oshkosh in the next several weeks (for the first time), so I will definitely stop in at Hughes for a few pounds. I may actually get more than 3 lbs. because they freeze real well for future delights. I'm not sure what else there is to do in Oshkosh, but Hughes is gonna be on the list for sure.

I'm sorry to have to update my review and lower my rating. Their chocolates are top notch.I…read moreappreciate that this family run business is still here, after decades. My family has been going there for since I was a young child; I won't say how many decades. I may be ending a long-standing tradition of making the annual family pilgrimage to Hughes. I feel that success has gone a bit to their heads, and they are a bit "pissy." I am rating them at a three for now, since their chocolate is undeniably fantastic, and I am also considering that perhaps they are stretched thinly. We all have our breaking point. Last year I think I spent $800 there, less than the year before--specifically because they were out of stock on many of the items I wanted. I was partially to blame, because I had waited too long. But not this year. I called today to pre-pay for some chocolates so that I wouldn't make the drive for nothing, and so that I could avoid the congested basement and be on my way. I figured on buying 25-40 pounds this year, depending on what they had. To their credit, they answered the phone. But I was told that I would need to commit to 75 pounds before they would consider taking a prepaid phone order. They aren't open on Sunday, so I was told I'd need to visit in the next couple days if I wanted toffees before they sold out. "First come first serve." I kind of get it, but I kind of don't. $500-$800 isn't enough for them to bother with me--message received. Yeah, this is the second year in a row I sensed their attitude is overly confident to the point where they no longer have to be friendly. At all. About five years back, I called to inquire if they offered any type of corporate program discount for people sending their chocolates as client gifts. I send out 240+ boxes to my clients each year during the holidays. I was cut off mid sentence by the guy who took the call, and it was clear they were not interested in anything like that. So I went somewhere else. This year, I don't think I'm even going to make the trip for family gifts. So...Hello Oaks Candies, my friend. You're a bit more expensive, but your chocolate is equally as good, you're open on Sundays, and I don't get the arrogant attitude from you.

I truthfully thought my mom was lost as we were navigating through what felt like a mixture of abandoned offices and libraries, but we did come to a shop in the back. Upon entering the door, we were greeted by a friendly gentleman. He pointed out samples of the toffee and roasted pecans. There was four toffee and four roasted pecans. He explained each one to us and a few of them were award winners. He asked us to try them all if we wanted. The four of us all LOVED the rosemary pecans. The toffee was good, and I'll be back in the future to get some of that. Overall great options and really appreciate the friendly service and extra explanation on products.

Alas, expanding waistline and tsk tsks from my doctor, aka Dr No, found their way into my "dont even think about it" brain lobe (well, more like a pea-size than a lobe for all the restraint it affords me). So, I boarded the "no more fun for me" train and sulked. Now, here it is, years later, and to heck with that mindset! A recent diagnosis of skin cancer shooketh me to my core, a core sorely lacking something to look forward to. Here's where you come in. I can definitely look forward to chocolate! So with that being said, I will now turn to delectable offerings and begin my mouth-watering selections. Happy Holidays! Jody Mathews

First, the location,…read moregreat view great place to people watch, nice little outdoor seating but inside is a great postindustrial design. They make a good espresso and serve it in a proper ceramic espresso cup and saucer. That's really important to both me and the character played by Sylvester Stallone in "Tulsa." The espresso is less than half the price than Starbucks, and it's better. They have an excellent biscuits and gravy that they serve until early afternoon. They serve "Italian soda" and since they have NO diet drinks I had to have the diabetes inducing watermelon flavor. Get a large, and if you ask them to hold the nonrecyclable plastic straw, they will. They make a delicious cherry tart, and of course they have delicious chocolates. Staff is competent, sincerely friendly, not the fake kind of friendly that seems de riguer at coffee chocolate shops. This leaves me with just one question, why won't YELP allow me to use italics?
