I was literally going to walk past this candy store and not go in but something told me to go in…read moreand check it out and I am so glad I did. I was in here on a Friday a little after 6pm and no one was in here. I asked one of the young women working here what time they closed and she told me 6:30pm. I then went to check out their back area and oh my they had quite an assortment of Dutch licorice, I was in heaven! I like salty licorice, less sweet and more salty with a good licorice bite and also found one of the brands I really like. I also tried another I did know, just to see what it was like. The brand I am used to I am saving for later as I know what it tastes like. The new brand I got is a bit more sweet than I like but I still like it and it was good I tried it. This is a great shop if youre looking for Dutch style licorice. They also have plenty of award winning chocolates too and a lot of people showed up after I entered and all ordering their chocolates. Id come back here again when in town!

My family and I stopped into this cute like chocolate store while spending the weekend in Solvang…read more It was Viking themed which we loved and while we didn't buy any actual chocolate - we still pursued and bought some chewy candy. Their chocolate display case looked so good - they also offer ice cream and milk shakes! They had a separate ice cream bar area which I thought was super cute. They had a whole wall of gummy candy that I had never seen or heard of before! I was tempted to buy some and have a little taste test. The inside was decent sized, but still inviting, clean and organized! Staff were also very nice and the register and even greeted us when we arrived. I would definitely recommend checking Ingeborg's Danish Chocolates if you are looking for a sweet treat for yourself or to bring home to someone! We will be back to check out their chocolates next time we are visiting Solvang!

This little gourmet shop is adorable and so many great foods to indulge in for hosting a party or…read morejust to treat yourself. There are many gourmet cheeses, meats, olive oils, whole bean coffees, wines and more. The woman behind the cheese counter invited us to try the cheese samples. There was a lavender cheese and the black cheese with lemon that caught my eye. I bought the black cheese with lemon. The shop associate told me that the black color comes from licorice powder yet you cannot taste the licorice, only the lemon. There were many things I wanted to buy but had to have control. I love that a mother and daughter team run the shop and I loved hearing the mother speak Danish to an older woman that is one of their regular customers. Definitely check out the wonderful gourmet foods here when you visit Solvang.

Susie, the owner lady of this establishment is extremely rude. (Picture attached is her in all of…read moreher glory) Not sure if she was drunk off her own supply or just a horrible human being. Either way, nobody deserves to be treated the way she will treat you. Please go ANYWHERE else for your cheese and wine. I tried to have a conversation about her cheese selection asking for suggestions and she was terribly rude for no reason at all. You can easily buy most of her cheeses from Trader Joe's for half the price and without being spoken down to as a cutomer. There's plenty of other shops in Solvang with cheese and wine. DO NOT COME HERE!

They have the usual candy selections of taffy and candies, but the star of the store was their homemade fudge which the owner makes herself daily. We tried the Chocolate Fudge, Peanut Butter Chocolate and the Dark Chocolate Caramel and all were excellent. Do not miss this lovely store. I bought some for work and it will definitely not last long!

Was walking off my lunch and hoping for some dessert when I stumbled upon this cute little candy…read moreshop in the heart of Cambria. They have tons of fudge flavors all made in-house, a wide variety of chocolate bonbons, salt water taffy and all sorts of retro candies - what a find! They have ice cream and jelly belly beans and even sell a surprising variety of Crumbl Cookies! I'm a sucker for chocolate fruit cream bonbons so I opted for a bunch of those flavors, as well as a coconut one and a couple of fancy looking ones: lavender white chocolate and rose white chocolate! I took them home to share with the hubby and we really enjoyed them! The traditional fruit creams were excellent, as well as the coconut bonbon. The lavender and rose ones were good but just too sweet and rich for me (personal preference). Staff are super sweet (no pun intended lol!!) and helpful. Prices are what you'd expect for the area and they offer shipping and even gift wrapping services. Their location is excellent - very walkable little town with lots to see and do. Parking is all street parking and ample outside of the busy season. A great spot to stop and satisfy your sweet tooth!

Best fudge in California hands-down, maybe in the country, maybe anywhere…read more. Recs: Walnut Fudge - Maple Pecan - is a bit overtly sweet in my opinion, but it becomes less overwhelming as I eat it - still quite good. But that Walnut fudge - I can't describe it but my man who doesn't really care for sweets/chocolate/fudge/brownies closed his eyes while he was eating because it was so good. But, yeah he couldn't have more than the slightly huge chunk I gave him.

This is hands down the best Fudge & Soft Pretzel spot. Whenever we are in town, we have to stop by!…read more We've done delivery orders when we have the craving - Don, you are the best. Thank you!! Favorites: Husband loves the rocky road. (He doesn't even ordinarily like fudge) Kids love the cookies and cream and dark chocolate. My favorite is the dark chocolate. Oh and the container of cookies is so delicious. You can't go wrong, so if you're in town and overwhelmed by the fudge or soft pretzel choices, don't hesitate to pick this spot!

I ended up buying some jelly beans, and about 25 pieces came out to $5.60, which is pretty unreasonable. Overall, I'd recommend saving your money and going somewhere else. At these prices, it's hard to see how this place will stay in business long-term.

Their ice cream ($5 kids, $6 single scoop, $9 double) was some of the best we've had around SLO and the gelato ($6 small) was the authentic Italian deal! We tried the butter pecan and honey churro ice cream and the mista gelato and all three were heavenly. The best part was our server who was so friendly, so helpful, and just had the best attitude. He made the visit even more memorable. The candy all looked fresh and fun - amazing considering the extensive selection of gourmet artisan truffles to vintage candy brands of childhood. This is no tourist trap. Locals and visitors, check it out when you're headed to the Cayucos pier.
