The selection of wines was nice. Initially service was disjointed, but the team provided an excellent experience overall. We got two olive oil samplers to try what they had.

Definitely cool.

Whenever i go to SF, i have to stop here before to pick up candy for the best kids in the world!…read more i get to see their sweet faces tomorrow and they're gonna be so excited with all this candy! Even tho i don't eat candy myself, I know my favorite kids love it so i make an exception. The shop itself is a decent size but the types of candy that have is what makes it really special. ALL kinds of old school candy that they wouldn't have an easy time finding on their own. The people that work here are so helpful and accommodating and they really go above and beyond to make sure you can find what you're looking for. Super cute place. I just spent way too much on candy--and if my friend knew i spent this much on candy, she'd prob not be happy. oh well..kids will be so happy tho and that's the most important thing! Def recommend this place if you're into candy of all kinds.

When a customer walks in the store, an employee should ALWAYS greet them with "hello, how's it…read moregoin?" unless there's a reason to not do so. But my buddies and I walked in for a treat, in which the candy we got was really freakin good, and these two ladies behind the counter looked right at us without any expression and it was the weirdest interaction I had felt in forever where I just politely stated "hello! How's it goin?...." TRUST ME, IM NOT A "KAREN." But the little things matter girls. It's a general principle of customer service, and living life. Examples: "Hey, how are you?" "Looking for anything in particular?" What's the point of working here if you can't take initiative by interacting with EVERYONE. When I asked about the fudge, the little lady seemed so unenthusiastic about it, I assumed it probably wasn't as good as it looked but I'm probably wrong. I hope they're okay tho, I'm not sure what they're goin thru. Great looking candy shop though, and wide selection to choose from. I rate businesses based on the customer service experience their employees provide.

"Lovely ladies with almond eyes Dressed in silk and laces…read moreTwilight falls and the shadows move Silently in secret places" (Doobie Brothers) Hopkins AG goes way back to the early 1900's and has successfully transformed the company from a small family farming operation into a large almond producer. How large you say? How about owning and managing over 3,000 acres of almonds in California's Southern San Joaquin Valley and running a 2500-square-foot San Diego commercial kitchen and manufacturing facility. They sell eight varieties of roasted almonds, shelled and unshelled raw almonds, three kinds of almond butters (including Mexican Chocolate!!), and gift packages. We ran into their booth at the Carlsbad Farmer's Market and saw their big variety of flavored roasted almonds. After a few samples, we scooped up a bag of Mexican Chocolate Supreme and a bag of Honey Vanilla almonds. The Mexican Chocolate almonds were roasted and dusted with cocoa, nutmeg, cane sugar, and raw honey. They were so good! The Honey Vanilla almonds were roasted with vanilla extract, cane sugar, and raw honey, and I give them a slight edge as my favorite of the two. The delicate, sweet, vanilla flavor was fantastic. All of their products are made fresh with no preservatives, and I can tell ya that their almonds are excelllent.

On Sunday, February 15th, I visited your booth at the Leucadia/Encinitas farmers market to buy fresh roasted almonds and almond butter. While I was waiting in line, the vendor dropped the scoop cup onto the grass, an area where dogs walk and urinate and where many people step. I politely asked if she could use a different scoop, but she said she didn't have another one and didn't offer any solution. When I asked if she was really planning to continue using the same cup after it had fallen on the ground, she said yes and mentioned she had attended food safety school. I was honestly shocked, as it's hard to imagine any food safety training approving that practice. What concerned me most was that she didn't seem to recognize that this was unsanitary or an issue at all. I did purchase almond butter, but I chose not to get the fresh almonds because I wasn't comfortable with them being scooped using a cup that had fallen on the ground. This was disappointing and concerning, and I hope this feedback encourages better sanitation practices moving forward so customers can feel confident about food handling.

This shop is smaller, clean with delightful flavors of chocolates which are most people's downfall.

I have been past it several times but did not know it was there. The store is small but they have plenty of different styles and sizes of high quality Swiss chocolates. We got to try it last weekend as part of a Mystery picnic experience. The person working at the counter grabbed our to go package and asked some questions, we let her know it was part of the picnic, and she said she had also done the picnic, but down in Coronado. She told us about the shop, the chocolates, about some of the different packages, etc. The chocolates were decadent, rich, sweet and delicious. Our package came with a few different types. But there are many options to choose from. I am looking forward to trying more out. Enjoy the photos.

We were honestly blown away by the quality of the fish. We tried the tuna poke, and it was so fresh and delicious. It actually tasted even better than it looked! It looked like a smaller portion at first, but it really wasn't and ended up being very satisfying. We also got the seabass sandwich, which was fantastic. If we were locals, I could definitely see us getting this often. Last but not least, we tried the octopus, which was cooked wonderfully. We really liked that this was such a casual spot, and the person taking our order was so nice and helpful, especially for a newbie like me who wasn't familiar with the menu. We'll definitely be back next time we're visiting San Diego and would absolutely recommend giving this place a try!

We picked up a meatball sandwich, the chicken cutlet and the Americano sandwich for take-away. It's a walk-up and pay kind of spot where you can either sit and eat it there in a casual environment, or get it to-go. We would have eaten there but had plans with a friend and bring some food over already...So we picked up a couple of things from the well-curated market as well. --About the food --- It's so hard to choose a favorite because each sandwich was worthy of getting on-repeat. But, if I had to choose I'd say the meatball was my perfect bite- the sauce was phenomenal, the basil and fresh mozzarella on their choice of bread gave it a unique edge on other meatball sandwiches around town. The bread is amazing I can't stress that enough! It's airy with chew and the perfect crunch. I really can't wait to go in and try some pizza- might try it tomorrow? I've added some close-up photos of the sandwiches so your stomach and mouth can see what I'm talking about. Go in and check them out. Great food and warm service. You will be so glad you did!
