Whenever I'm in the area, I visit Regina's Candy store and buy a half pound or so of Nonpareils,…read morewhich are small dark chocolate disks topped with little white beads of sugar. They are not easy to find these days, but I grew up loving them and I love them as much now. Regina's has been around since 1926, so they are celebrating 100 years in business. They make their own candy, as well as sell imported candy. They have two stores, the one I visited in St. Paul on St. Claire Avenue and one in West St. Paul. You can also order candy online. This little store is a gem and frankly, I'm grateful that I do not live anywhere near either store, or I would be 50 pounds heavier than I am. I do not have the willpower to resist, although I did refrain from their butter English Toffee (aka Butter Brittle ) and fudge. Everytime I have visited, they have been consistently friendly and helpful. I hope they are around in another 100 years!

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.

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. Tables and chairs would be nice. The others stores in Excelsior have the feel of the former Truffle Hill, why doesn't Truffle Hill?

Brought my husband and his brothers here because they love craft sodas, and wow--the selection was…read moreabsolutely insane! We all ended up building our own 6-pack of different sodas so we could sample a bunch of unique flavors. In my opinions.. I personally think the coolest thing in the shop was their soda chilling machine thingy--you pop your glass bottle drinks inside, and it chills them down in just a few minutes! (I left mine in an extra couple of minutes to turn it into a slushie, which was so perfect on a hot day). While we waited for our drinks to get ice-cold, we wandered through their massive candy selection. They have everything from nostalgic, old-school retro candies to fun new treats. Once our sodas were ready, we went to the back to play pinball, which was a total blast! Be careful if you bring the kiddies, I feel like you'll be spending a lot of money! This is such a great spot to take out-of-town family and friends for a fun afternoon. The food area wasn't open while we were there, but that just gives us a great excuse to come back soon!

I specifically came in for cream cheese emulsion for cake pops, but ended up wandering every aisle because there's just so much to look at. Also--huge win--they carry a ton of Colour Mill food coloring options, which are known for being super pigmented and great for buttercream/chocolate. And somehow cheaper than Amazon?? Immediate add to cart (I grabbed at least four). It's a bit out of my way, but this is 100% becoming a regular stop for baking supplies & it's supporting local so would much rather put my money here than Michaels or Amazon.
