I'm shocked to see that there are no reviews for Extreme Chocolates. I have not been to the shop,…read morebut attended a wine and chocolates (truffles) pairing at the Four Graces Winery in Dundee. The pairings were excellent. Clearly well thought out and chocolates custom made to suit the characteristics of the wine. I would strongly suggest that if you're anywhere near this place, you take the time to try the absolutely awesome work of chocolatier Carrie Wong. Or visit her website at www.extremechocolates.com. Took some home and will definitely be ordering more for the holidays and other special occasions. I'm also lloking forward to trying the chocolate based rubs I bought for poultry and pork, and the tangerine essence. Carrie, great to meet you. And I'm happy to be the first to post a Yelp review for this outstanding product!

Macaroons were a solid 2.5/10 This may be probably the second or third biggest letdown of all time for me when it comes down to food . The macaroons taste quite literally like cardboard . Cardboard with a tad bit of flavor. They're extremely hard and stale, they're almost like chips . They look great, but they taste awful.. I mean, these are definitely the worst macros I've ever had in my life by a long shot. I mean, I literally bought some grocery store macaroons one time out of the box that I've been sitting there for God knows how long and they were at least five times better than these . I really hate leaving this review guys, maybe I caught you on the worst possible day, but however, today marks the worst I've ever had in my life and I most likely will not be back because I don't want to be let down again .

I was disappointed that they only offer the tours on Saturday, I don't plan on going to Salem on Saturday anytime in the near future, but you can see the workers through the glass with all the equipment that makes their absolutely delicious chocolate! I could tell the workers were having a fun time while creating said delicious chocolate, they were singing and laughing! I tried a sample of their nutpuck and the seasonal pumpkin spice, both delicious! I ended up getting both of the those flavors to take home and also the chocolate covered pretzels. I also got some of the white drinking chocolate..so good! I plan on returning to try the other flavors of drinking chocolate!

My friends and I went in today to look for candy to eat during a movie. The 10% discount for…read moreshowing a movie ticket was much appreciated. We arrived early and our movie didn't start for a few more hours, so we decided to kill some time at My Candy Fix and the next door GameStop. While in My Candy Fix, I noticed they had Sno-Biz snocones. We got some candy and walked around the mall a little bit before returning. I got a small size snocone and had to wait a little while as the cashier had to tend to other customers. Once the other customers were helped, I got my cone, and John offered to put in some extra to compensate the wait. One of my friends wanted to know what the snocone syrup tasted like, and offered to buy a small size without any ice. John told him that there was no need to pay, and gave him a "shot" of strawberry snocone syrup. After that, my other friend wanted to try the Rube Goldberg-esque gumball machine. Towards the end of the gumball's ride, it fell off the track. It still fell into the dispenser, but we still wanted to know what happened at the end. That's when John came over and put in his own coins to see why the gumball fell off. After finding out, he too a gumball from the top of the machine and put it on the remaining part of the track so we could see how it ends. And he also let us keep the test-gumballs! Overall, my experience was incredible and without John, it would've just been another run-of-the-mill candy store. But John made my friends and my experience worthwhile, and I'll be sure to drop by again.

We went into town and found a nice café, I wish I could remember the name, we had a nice lunch. It was small and I still wanted something sweet. We googled the nearest See's Candy and guess what? It was one block away. We went there and were given two samples each! Upon which we bought more than we intended to. We went back to the RV and made a delicious pot of decaf coffee and savored the remaining pieces of our See's Candy together as we watched a streamed WI-FI movie. The manager was lovely and kind and asked us all about where we were from and what we were doing in Salem. Definitely look into stopping in at See's on the Main Street area on Liberty St NE. You may have to drive around twice the block to find a parking spot. But you will find the staff friendly, warm, and inviting at the Salem See's Candy. As always a free piece of candy too!

I cannot support a business that appears to show so little loyalty or respect toward a long-term…read moreemployee. My family member gave this Salem store about 10 years of reliable service, took on leadership-level responsibilities, and consistently delivered the customer care people expect from See's. Despite her experience, she was repeatedly passed over for leadership opportunities. Employees were told that lead positions would no longer be filled, yet someone younger and far less experienced was later placed into the role, The final year was especially discouraging. As a single grandmother raising a teenage granddaughter, she was routinely assigned the least desirable 4:00-7:00 p.m. shift--during the limited evening hours when she needed to be home parenting and caring for her family. The arrangement eventually became unsustainable, and after years of service, she resigned. On one occasion, she was struck by a car while crossing the street to come to work. She was in so much pain that she could barely stand. Rather than someone immediately recognizing that she needed help, she had to ask another person to call an ambulance--an act of basic human compassion that should not have required her to ask. Customers may have a pleasant experience at the counter, but my family's experience left me questioning whether this location gives its employees the dignity, loyalty, and care they deserve.
