Little small but mighty! They were so kind and let us know what was popular and the deals they had going on for the strawberry festival. It look like family working there because a kid was working the chocolate case and parents were handling the checkout. They were so kind and even cracking a few jokes. We got some butter toffee, toffee pretzels and chocolate covered strawberries. All soo good!! The strawberries were so fresh!

Truly a hidden gem. NC Chocolatier has always been one of those places I drive by daily and say…read morehey I'm going to stop by one day. Well that day came, and I'm forever grateful I did. Located in a small plaza and can be confusing with the Illinois Nut and Candy sign but when you walk in the sweet smell of chocolate fills the air. There are glass closures of bon bons/ truffles that I've learned are hand painted, chocolate covered everything, gelato and more. They also have taffy apples, some with just the caramel, some with nuts, some with chocolate chips. You can never go wrong! Their chocolate is kosher friendly and I'm obsessed with the cookie bark, I could eat that all day. Highly recommend going on one of their chocolate tours too that's available on sundays. Make sure you book first as I found out they do sell out. You get to learn the history of chocolate and make your own taffy apples and chocolate dipped goodies. They also ship nationwide, I am definitely going to order some goodies for birthdays coming up!

As you walk up, you'd think that it's just an average chocolate shop. But, this place is anything…read morebut average. Everyone was unbelievably kind. It felt as if I was appart of their family. The place was sparkling clean. There was chocolate as far as the eye could see. And, the chocolate fountain was amazing! I could swim in that stuff. Pure heaven! The bonbons were to die for! I got the blood orange one and it was decadent and delightful! It was zesty and sweet with a pop of bittersweetness from the rich dark chocolate. It was a dream. I couldn't recommend this place more! We started out the night with learning all about chocolate and how to make it. Then, we learned all about the history behind NC chocolate. Which, I found absolutely fascinating! After, we dipped cookies in chocolate and pretzels. Then, we got to decorate them! Which, I loved! It felt as if I was a kid in a candy store. Then, we got to make our own caramel apples covered in peanuts, cookies, or cereal. Which, was a blast! After, we were given lots of samples and treats to take home. Along, with a swag bag! Thank you, Kesha, and NC company for making this wonderful experience possible!

We recently had the good fortune to work with the two wonderful ladies at Custom Candy Design for…read moreour wedding favors. We wanted a special Chinese word--double happiness; you might know it--made from chocolate. CCD was more than willing to try it out. Working with them was a breeze. They were prompt and had the chocolates finished on a compressed timetable, even though we only were able to provide one mold. My fiancée used to work at Teuscher, and while CCD's chocolate isn't exactly at that level, she was more than pleased with the flavor, consistency, and tempering. (Of course, it also came to less than half the price per pound!) The chocolates came out gorgeous. Sharp transitions, smooth edges, no significant burrs or voids. I posted a quickie snapshot. Marilyn clearly takes pride in her work and it shows. Best of all, they were substantially less expensive than having it done in the city.

I have purchased chocolates from Custom Candy Design for both of my daughters' bat mitzvahs (I also…read morestop in the store every so often to pick up candies by the pound). They are wonderful to work with. Marilyn is fantastic! The candies taste delicious, and they looked superb. The artistry and the attention to details are just fantastic. The candies were ready on time. Their toffee is mouthwatering; it is by far my favorite. A special treat is to walk in the shop when they are making the toffee... such wonderful smells! Mmmm... I also love their Tizzy Lizzie and Graham Cracker Crunch. And their dipped fruit and orange peels. OK. I don't think that there was anything I didn't love. Custom Candy Design does amazing work and their products are heavenly!

Usually, I would like a smile, or even a "welcome" because these people are forced to! But these servers? NOTHING. Not even when you say thank you! Don't expect a you're welcome.

Discovered this shop when I was visiting from AZ. What a great selection and everything was…read moredelicious. Also, I really liked the Signature Assortment and the Deluxe Box of Goodies, I had to bring those home before leaving town. I highly recommend this shop! I was surprised to see some of the other reviews about staff members, my experience was fine and the few questions that I had were answered. As soon as it's not 110+ in PHX, I'll be getting candy shipped here and I plan on ordering holiday gift baskets as well.

The customer service here is really lacking. There were 2 other customers when I walked in. I was…read morenot greeted at all. There were 2 employees, one older one who was wrapping a basket, and a young one who was clearly friends with the person she was helping. I waited while she chatted with her friend for a long time, not even taking her order, or acknowledging me. The customer saw me standing there and finally told the employee to do her order because I was waiting. While the older employee was wrapping the basker her friend walked in. She was so excited to see her that she walked over to her and just started chatting. I was clearly next, but she ignored me. What was that about? The. younger employee finally helped me, but was not very friendly. I guess you have to be a friend or a regular to get good service. Even though your candy is good, the customer service is not. This is not the first time this has happened. If you go there, you have to be prepared to spend extra time while the employees and customers chit chat. No thank you. I'll go somewhere else, from now on.
