This particular chocolate shoppe looked promising. They had a reasonably large selection, some looked quite unique and well done. When we stepped in, they offered us a small sample. It was a tasty bit of maple fudge. We ended up getting a couple of large Toffee Peanut Butter Cups. We ate them later, back on the bus, and honestly, they were a bit disappointing. The chocolate was way to thick for my tastes. But the filling itself was good. My suggestion? Spend more time knocking the chocolate out of the molds before letting them set. The staff person who assisted us was super friendly and helpful.

It's my favorite thing. I look forward to it every time I see a chocolate shop. I was so excited. It's more like crunchy, caramelized fudge. Which is fine if you think that's what you're getting. But I wanted rich and creamy. Traditional fudge which is what they market. We ended up throwing it away we were so sad.

Unfortunately, my order was forgotten, and one of the employees had to come over and double-check our receipt before making it. It also wasn't busy when we visited, so that was a bit disappointing.

I asked for a sea salt caramel which they didn't have but they did have sea salt peanut butter cups. While sea salt caramels are my go to, I opted to try the peanut butter version. I'm not sure what it is about chocolate and sea salt but replacing caramel with peanut butter was not a concern. It was so good. I got it on a napkin so I could eat as we walked back to our hotel. I suspect I'll be back there trying another bit of chocolate before we leave here.

Prices are quite reasonable for the quality and selection. Lets just say we weren't planning on checking in luggage on the way home, but after a stop here, we decided it'd be worth to check one in! We basically tried all the olive oils, the white vinegars and black vinegars. I didn't know that the vinegars could be added to soda water to make light summer refreshments! Each of these also had a recipe card to refer to so you get inspiration too. Staff was really helpful and probably quite amused by how excited we were to learn and try all the different products. It was clean and a comfortable environment so we didn't feel rushed or pressured to buy anything, but we genuinely wanted to bring home so many flavours and different types of products. Definitely recommend at least popping in to see what catches your eye!

In fact just walking into the store itself you have to wait till the people either goes in or out before you yourself enter in or out. Also while walking down the rows I think I knocked over a couple of packages and I saw a couple of abandoned lollipops strewn on the floor. For candies be sure to expect Old Tyme Favourites, Liquorice, Chocolate Bars, Chocolates Liqueur, Chocolate & Candies Liqueur, Sugar Free Chocolate & Candies, and Maple Syrup Products. But my favourite areas was the Pez wall, would you like Pez candy being served to you by the throat of Johnny Depp as a pirate, Orlando Bloom, or perhaps from Hello Kitty or Donald Duck. The sky's the limit on this Pez board. There seems to be back areas where they make candy or the gift wrap the products you buy. I am not quite sure as I got kind of claustrophobic so I had to leave. But this candy shop has every option of candy in my opinion.

The drunken noodle had some flavor, with tons of garlic mixed somewhere in there but honestly, I just wish they added more effort into their food and actually taste like Thai as opposed to just throwing in ingredients in there and calling it a dish. Don't even get me started with their pineapple fried rice. It's a big blob of yellow rice. No flavor, no colors, rice tastes old as heck. It was an absolute waste of money. We bought soup from somewhere else and thought it might try to make up for it, but no. The rice was horrible. I would highly recommend to NOT get it. Pls save your $ and go somewhere else and try something new.

It makes sense.) - the baked goods are a bit dry. We had the homemade bread with our soup and the tea biscuits. I preferred the tea biscuits with the strawberry jelly, but in hindsight, I'd stick with the soup and tea. When else can you stop at a tea house mid-hike! Highly recommend the stop.
