The Biscoff cookie is another favorite of mine. I recently ordered the OG cookie cake for a celebration, and it was a huge hit with everyone. Another thing I love is their hours.

I hoped they would ignore me as I entered the establishment, they didn't! I was hoping the place would be icky and not well kept, it wasn't!

I said I wouldn't be back, I'm already scheduled to visit next week. Go. Visit. Taste. Return for more.

Reaching out to Stephanie is super easy. You'll receive a Google form to fill out and you'll let her know what flavors you're interested in, designs you might want, and how many macarons. As her profile mentions, you want to order in advance of the date you need to pick up. Stephanie is located in Torrance (that's where I picked up) but she also has another location you can pick up at. Overall, I found the process super easy and Stephanie was always friendly and answered all my questions. When you confirm your order you'll pay 50% of the order total and pay the balance when you pick up, super easy and convenient. I ordered a dozen macarons for Mother's Day in a flower shape. I chose strawberry shortcake, blueberry cheesecake, and lemon meringue as my flavors. When I picked up my order Stephanie had boxed them up and added some decorations; totally unexpected and appreciated. I'm excited to order from her many times over!

It's pretty safe to say I'm usually one of those last minute holiday shoppers. We went out…read moreyesterday to fight the traffic and the crowds at the Del Amo Fashion Center (fortunately wasn't that bad, we got lucky) and it paid off because I was able to get all my shopping done in a couple hours. I remember Hickory Farms having permanent store locations in the malls many years ago. Now, except for holidays like Christmas when they set up temporary stores or kiosks, it sounds like it's pretty much a web-based business only now. While walking through the mall, I see this Hickory Farms kiosk. It's located on the lower level at the escalators, near Joann fabrics & crafts, between JC Penney's and Macy's. https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/hickory-farms-torrance-2?select=KrWYhOQc-vFGktGYCLtAhw https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/hickory-farms-torrance-2?select=dDTZmA3kC3Bx0-GxNYXklw They offer a variety of gift boxes & baskets with cheeses, beef or turkey summer sausage, salami, etc. https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/hickory-farms-torrance-2?select=qS4_Dyu9frmCn5suuGoKiw https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/hickory-farms-torrance-2?select=SP5RhYuglVWBGhZbsJAiSQ The staff was friendly and helpful, though not so helpful that she would give be a bag without charging me for it, LOL. Like many things at Christmas, the costs add up quickly. I bought a few things and that checked off the last names on my shopping list, so we worked our way back to the car. Thanks Hickory Farms.

The two very nice employees walked us through all the special deals and gave us samples so we could make an informed decision. The $20 box special works perfect. It allows you to have a little of everything. We bought two boxes filled with their delicious meats, cheeses and mustards. We also bought some tasty mints and some peppermint white chocolate covered pretzel pieces! I will definitely be returning with my husband for more goodies as the holidays draw nearer. Who doesn't love meat, cheese and candy? #Yum

I went to a chocolate making class hosted by Albert. It was AMAZING!!! Not only is Albert very…read morepersonable and professional, but the wealth of knowledge that he has and his passion for what he does is evident from start to finish. Albert is very talented and accommodating to learners of varying abilities. He also makes the class so much fun that I was surprised how quickly the time went. I highly recommend!! As for the chocolate, I have never tasted anything like it! The quality, the taste, the texture is such an incredible experience. It is easy to see why he is in such high demand.

He let me sample the vegan chocolate honeycomb and it was quite crisp and delicate. The texture literally felt like chewing on honeycombs wrapped in chocolate. Yum! I decided to bring home the cocoa butter crisps, which the chef states is made out of Ritz crackers and chocolate. Made me quite intrigued cause when you think of Ritz crackers, you don't automatically think of chocolate. But oh my gosh, I really like them! Perfect balance of chocolate and cracker with a great amount of richness coming from the Belgian chocolate. Loved the caramel flakes on top, as well. Ambiance inside the Partake Collective provides a modern vibe with a quick grab and go experience. I like how Chef Albert's sweets are set up neatly as soon as you turn the corner up the stairs. Sweets and chocolates are always an eye catcher for me, so I am glad I saw this and got to meet Chef Albert personally. I would definitely recommend trying the variety of chocolates and sweets-- hope to come back soon when I'm in the area!

Upon our arrival, I liked the cute setup that they had to offer from the different areas within the shop and the pieces of chocolate history all throughout. So I didn't realize that, coming here, all that was served was versions of dark chocolate hot chocolate, so I was a little bummed, as I love milk chocolate but was still hoping for a sweeter taste, as I chose the lowest percentage of dark chocolate. During our time, we talked a bit to the owner, who was very sweet, and had a chance to learn more about the process and some of the products offered, which is nice to have an insight into their world. Of course, I recognize that this is a small business, and it seemed to be just the owner there, but 3 hot chocolates totaling more than $30 were really a lot more than I would've liked to pay, so I hoped it would be worth it. When we received it after a good minute, though it was just the owner working, so understandable, the hot chocolate was fine, on the smaller side, but thankfully, I ordered it with whipped cream, as it made it a little sweeter.

Not to be confused with cramped. It certainly doesn't feel fake like when you're at bucca di beppo or something. The service was also great! The woman who took out order (apologies for forgetting her and husbands name) was very warm, receptive, and eat to talk to. I had the mi terra sandwich. It was like no other sandwich I've ever had which is a first for me because I'm a bit of a sammich snob. My cousin had the pasta which was equally as good as the sandwich. We are actually planning to go back tonight because if the pasta was that good, the gnocchi and pizza is going to be insane. Pictures to come upon return.
