Jan's Homemade Candies is a chocolate shop in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea, FL…read more My daughter's happened to see while we were walking on the other side of Ocean Drive towards Walgreens. It was located within a plain, grey plaza. Because we were on vacation on June 7, 2024, we had to pop in... oh, who am I kidding? We would have anyway. For such a small shop, they sure offer quite an assortment of chocolates. My youngest chose a starfish and a sea turtle. They were $2.50 apiece. I chose a key lime cream in milk chocolate. A Dutchie (caramel/peanuts). And a sea salt caramel in dark chocolate. They were all so smooth and decadent. Not cheap, but very much worth it. Service was a bit slow that day. After we had made our choices and I paid, the young woman working that drizzly afternoon offered a piece each on the house. Lol. That was a bit backwards if she was trying to get more sales! I tried a blueberry cream in white chocolate. Its richness and creaminess took me by surprise. I would definitely recommend it. Afterwards, I did some research on this little place. I love the story that the owners posted on the Yelp page. It's not hard to believe that they once held the title of "Best Homemade Chocolate in America!"

We stopped by Kilwins Ice Cream in Pompano Beach, and it was such a fun experience! They were…read moreincredibly generous with samples and let us try just about every flavor before deciding. We ended up ordering the Butter Pecan and Dulce de Leche. The Butter Pecan was rich, creamy, and full of roasted pecan flavor. The Dulce de Leche was delicious and incredibly creamy, although it was a little sweeter than I expected. That said, I have a sweet tooth, so I still loved it--and even though it definitely wasn't the lowest-calorie choice, it was absolutely worth it! The staff was friendly and patient, making the whole experience even better. If you're in the Pompano Beach area and craving quality homemade ice cream, Kelly's is definitely worth a visit. We'll be back to try even more flavors!

After positive feedback they began selling bubble tea at pop-up and farmer's markets across South Florida. A partnership with Cognizant Cards and Collectibles led to opening their first permanent storefront on the Belcrest Plaza on Federal Highway in Pompano Beach earlier this year. Primoo Bobba has a counter in the back across from Cognizant Cards collectibles. There are large tables throughout the space so you can hang out for awhile if you want. Boba is also known as bubble milk tea and pearl milk tea. It is generally a cold, sweet milk tea served with chewy tapioca balls. The drink became popular in the US in the 1990's when Taiwanese immigrants opened the first bubble tea shop in California. While the antioxidants in the tea are positive for your health, the drinks can contain a lot of sugar so everything in moderation. The Primoo Bobba menu features coffee, milk tea, and fruit teas with boba and jelly additions. I ordered my favorite lychee green tea with popping lychee boba. It was the perfect sweetness for my taste. While my drink was made I checked out the Pokeman cards and collectibles. This is such a cool spot. I am happy to have discovered them for my boba fix. ​

The staff were very helpful, and the store was quite clean. If I'm in the area again I'll definitely be stopping back in.

It was morning and the store was in "opening" stage with one employee there. The employee was a female and she was doing what I guessed were opening duties. The candies- too numerous to mention- were so cute, loaded with way too many Carbs, colorful and clever. I was singularly impressed with the stock. Just as I started to worry I was going to be ignored, the employee came up to me, offered assistance, and was a hospitable and enthusiastic soul. I saw two adult candy products in the aforementioned corner- rear east wall- including edible candy g-string. Store seems mostly for children. In my photo I'm showing boxes of Cotton Candy popped corn, a flavored candy akin to the nostalgic Cracker Jack's brand. Check it out.

From flaky treats to hearty breads, everything in the bakery case looked tempting, and the prices for the baked goods themselves were very reasonable. There's also a nice selection of imported German items that are definitely on the pricier side, but that's expected for authentic products brought in from overseas. The pretzel bread was a standout for me -- soft on the inside, perfectly chewy on the outside, and full of that classic Bavarian flavor. They offer plenty of fresh loaves and traditional German pastries, and it's the kind of place where you can easily walk out with more than you planned because everything looks so good. You can eat in, and the space is cozy, but we opted for takeout this time. The counter service was friendly and helpful, even with a steady flow of customers. It feels like a neighborhood spot with a loyal following, and I can see why. If I'm on that side of town again, I'd definitely go back for more fresh bread and pastries.
