My husband took a wrong turn and I saw the Almond Roca sign spinning. It's a small factory outlet…read more I honestly didn't know Almond Roca was made here in Tacoma, Washington. The person who rang me up was telling us that it used to be a boot factory. The other lady said it became a chocolate factory in like 1912. She mentioned they used to make Mars candy bars here as well. They even have a link for a virtual tour. It was a nice little shopping adventure. I highly recommend checking it out.

The shop is a fun vintage building near the factory.

They have a huge range of PWN products to choose from; everything from food & wine, shirts, artwork, jewelry, to trinkets. I'm always on the lookout for really cute cards since I buy a few a year and this place is definitely on my list now! Great selection of Chukar cherries, they had most if not all of the flavours. They also had a large selection of huckleberry products! I adore huckleberry and will definitely be back to get my snackage on.

She advised us about the box and packing it including with iced gel packs as this is going to sunny Tampa. The shop takes care of the packaging and shipping, Couldn't be easier!

Our daughter lives near the Lake Stevens, Wa Haagen's Grocery and purchased some Old Town Salted…read moreCaramels just before a visit from family last month. Knowing her mother (that's me) is a fan of caramel, she showed me the small bag explaining "they're really expensive". As they might be if homemade, these caramels are wrapped in parchment, twisted on each end and come 12 per sweet little bag for $20 (roughly). Because they're large (about 3/4"x1"x2", I had one, shared a second and the hook was thoroughly set. OMG these are exceptional. The quality is silly-good. I drove 350 miles home from our visit and looked online to learn how to get my hands on MORE. My location in remote NE Wa State proved a caramel desert so I ordered one bag of twelve and with shipping and tax the cost was $33. Yes, it was a plunk but they are worth it for a treat of such quality. I imagined sharing with friends lucky enough to drop by. The Sea Salt caramels shipped quickly and with USPS tracking info I followed their route. "They're in Kent!!" I told my husband; then "they're in Spokane!!" and when I knew the delivery was imminent I watched for Kathy our rural letter carrier. A thoughtful person, Kathy came down the 600' driveway because the parcel was marked that it should be protected from heat. I was riding the lawn tractor but raced over to catch Kathy and opened the box to offer her one. She was reluctant but I told her, "they're the best caramels I've ever eaten" so she took one and continued her route. Upon further investigation of the box I noticed a bonus package of six regular vs sea salt caramels. An unanticipated kindness. Averaging three per day I plowed through all (18-Kathy's) caramels in record time. My husband enjoyed them as much but he's a better wrangler of his own impulse control. He had two per day at most. My last day was a record FOUR. Here's the thing: I'll be seventy by year's end and am an accomplished baker and have made caramels myself. I'm not a substance abuser; am HWP and eat an organic menu. This gluttony is unusual for sure. But they're that dang good! A lesson was learned, but not the lesson one might expect. It's this: I won't bother making caramels again. Thank you Old Town Delights for such a lovely confection.
