I was struck by a couple of details: *They offer you a sample when you walk in the door. *They give you the option of a free gift bag with tissue paper as you're checking out. I really appreciated this since I was giving this as a gift and I was from out of town. It meant I didn't have to go buy one, which I was grateful for. *The store itself just has a wide variety of nuts, chocolates, peanut butter and candies. Something for everyone! Service was friendly too!

Sticky Fingers is what happens when Willy Wonka decides to open a candy shop and goes completely…read moreover the top. The second you walk in, you're hit with a rainbow explosion of color, giant candy displays, floating hot air balloons, vintage treats, quirky décor, and enough sugar to convince your inner child that being an adult is overrated. Every inch of this place is begging for a photo, and honestly, your camera roll will leave with more memories than your wallet. The candy selection is ridiculous in the best way. International sweets, nostalgic favorites, novelty sodas, mystery candy boxes, giant lollipops, and the kind of treats you forgot existed until they magically appeared in front of you. I'm also convinced the owner has an entire warehouse dedicated to storing all the incredible seasonal decorations because the attention to detail is next level. If you think it's cute now, wait until Halloween or Christmas. They somehow manage to outdo themselves every season, turning the whole store into a magical, over the top wonderland that's worth visiting even if you don't buy a single piece of candy. I came in thinking I'd spoil my little grandchildren, dropped over $40.00 and left questioning every financial decision I made that day. Sticky Fingers is pure nostalgia wrapped in a sugar rush with a side of organized chaos. Bring your wallet cuz you're gonna want to buy the whole store.

We took so many pictures because we thought it was so cute. She broke apart the pipe for the fisherman figure and found a black haired man. It's all in the details!

We then ordered 6 large sheet cakes to be cut and served to our 300 guests. Our caterer pointed out the cake was not deliverd yet, at 30 minutes before ceremony. We had to call to get the cake delivered and it was all wrong....it was a styrofoam cake with buttercream frosting that was melting off in the July heat at our outside garden wedding and reception. We were also shorted one entire sheet cake. We met with Marcia 3 times to get what we wanted and gave her pictures. Luckily, we also had Ben and Jerry's Ice cream serving at the reception and some guests only had ice cream and no cake because we were shorted one entire sheet cake. We specifially ordered fondant on the styrofoam display cake so it would not melt, my daughter burst into tears with she saw her buttercream icing melting and exposing the forms underneath. Our caterer and photographer tried to fix the appearance for pictures. We had to pay the entire $600 up front and when I tried to contact Marcia after the wedding, she would never take any of my numerous calls. No response from letter I wrote. I should have sued her!

Years ago, this was a bakery operated by someone else. Now owned and operated by Mexican-American…read morepeople. Small and off the beaten path, it is a traditional Mexican bakery with a small area of groceries and beverages at the entrance. Very clean. Offerings focus on Mexican cookies and pastries/donuts, along with rolls for sandwiches and croissants. I had one pastry: very flaky and fresh. The bolillo rolls are PERFECT! I'd guess +/- 50% of pastries have names and fillings labeled in display case. Customers receive a plastic tray and a pair of tongs at entry, then they can wander around. Then, take the tray to the cashier who loads the items into bags and totals the bill. As far as I could tell, the staff speak very little English. Best bet if you don't speak Spanish is to wander around and be adventurous. No tables inside; strictly takeout.

I use honey in some of my baking recipes and was completely out so I decided to see if there were any local beekeepers in my area. This place was only a few minutes away! If you can, I'd highly recommend buying honey from a local beekeeper. It absolutely makes a difference in taste (maybe not so noticeable in these chai sugar cookies I made but it's the thought that counts). They also sell candles and chapstick in a variety of flavors. The owner incredibly kind when I picked up my order (no shipping cost on pickups is a big plus). Check them out!

Ordering and packaging are professional and always correct, so at Christmas time I ordered gift boxes for friends and relatives. I highly recommend Kobe Apiaries!
