My wife and I stopped by on a Saturday for a tour of the candy making facility, where we learned a lot about how the chocolates and other candies are made, and we were even able to design and enjoy our own custom chocolate bar. This place has everything that a fan of sweets and fun can enjoy - retro candy, a colorful environment, and enthusiastic staff. From our tour with Joy, our complimentary sea salt caramel from Barbara, everybody on staff provided a joyous afternoon. The tour is highly recommended, where you'll get to see how the product is made, and even get to see one of the original Golden tickets from the original Wonka movie. Pricing for the tour is very reasonable, and it's a great way to spend an afternoon. Parking was easy right around the corner from the front entrance. If you're in the Jacksonville area, this is a fun event for people of all ages!

It felt like a lot of Indians with no clear chief. The tour starts in the chocolate room, gotta love that! Chocolate covered chips, cookies, marshmallows and fudge all around. The restaurant was filled with dirty tables, the bar was in disarray. The food portions looked small however at least it kept coming out! The owners family has been in the candy business for years and he still works there everyday, that's awesome! :)) I'm glad we checked it out. Thank you Sweet Petes! You can trust me, I am a candy eating American. ;D

This place needs some serious spotlight as it has a cafe attached and the chocolate item look amazing. Think of the brother sister duo that was sold out and then think this place. Definitely a place to hype. Not on the beaten path, I spotted it driving by it on accident. Chocolate popcorn looked amazing and I'm pretty sure they do custom order anything. Definitely will come back for more cookies.

So, I used the black berry sorbet as a substitute. Customer service was basic. I would've have expected them to offer the desert with some sort of discount since technically they didn't have all the ingredients. Nevertheless, it was still tasteful. I also liked the complimentary chocolate covered popcorn. They offer an array of treats but are very pricey. The "non" experimental Dubai Gelato (calling it that because it was missing the real ingredient) was $16 alone. I don't recall seeing prices listed and hasn't prepared for that. Overall, its a nice place for a pick me up kind of treat/day.
