    Don't walk into this shop hungry because the smell of chocolate will overwhelm you and will easily…read morespend more than you intended. Everything is clearly packaged / labeled and the store is clean and well organized. I was looking for a particular item - chocolate covered espresso beans - and reached out via their Facebook page. The response was less than an hour, which was impressive! However, I wasn't able to make it that day. When I did show up I thanked the owner for her quick response and she did state that there are times when she's too busy to check the FB account, which is understandable. Support local. Shop small businesses! I already told my husband to go here for some stocking stuffers for me! Yummmmm.

    I really try to shop local when I can and this is one of the retailers in downtown Lake Orion that…read moreour family really enjoys visiting! We make special stops for holidays and pop in for an after dinner treat when we eat downtown. Nutz About Chocolate has a big selection of both milk and dark chocolate to please all of your sweet-loving friends and family! The owner is extremely friendly and offers great suggestions for gift giving and general chocolate enjoyment. We visited specifically for Valentines Day and Nutz didn't disappoint. The chocolate covered oreos in both milk and dark were a big hit! We also purchased pretzel rods with milk chocolate/heath and milk chocolate/m&ms. My cordial cherry loving spouse like the Nutz version, which were made in rosette molds and heavy on the cherry. You can single truffles and cupcakes here, too! There is something for everyone!

    Don't let the unassuming building exterior and parking lot fool you, this is a top-notch, excellent…read morefamily dining establishment. We reside in Sterling Heights, by Lakeside Mall, where we are surrounded by lots of delicious restaurant options but we decided to explore the Oxford/Lapeer area and stopped at this Marios for a bite to eat. The prices are a bit on the high side but you certainly get what you pay for. The food is homemade and served at the proper temperature. I ordered the French Onion soup and loved it. The cheese atop the soup was smooth and not chewy. The broth, onions and even the croutons were cooked to perfection for this type of soup...ate/drank every bit of it. I also ordered the sweet potato fries and they were the best I have ever tasted. They were crispy and perfectly salted on the outside and soft/steamy on the inside...perfection! Mom had the country omelet. Mom had ice tea and I had coffee - our bill was $44.00 after tipping; a lot of $ in my opinion for two people to have brunch. The inside is very cozy with booths, tables and stools as sitting options. There are a couple of tv's with one or two of them NOT turned to sports...PTL and thank you. The service was excellent! Our server was very patient, knowledgeable and kind. My 86 yr mom has Parkinson's making her voice soft, decision making a challenge and often cranky because she misses her old self. Our server was very accommodating with my mom and with me as I can be running on a thin edge most of the time, lol. We loved it and hope to return soon.

    As much as I love this place for the family friendly environment, the price gouging has got to end…read more I paid $50 + for the bare minimum amount of food. Service is always positive.
