    Honey
    Sarah Jean H.

    We loved this place! Great selection of candies and other sweet novelties at a great value. This is also a lovely little gift shop! I like to support local businesses and while this joint does not offer scooped ice cream, there are premade ice cream sandwiches and huge cones from another local business that are sold in the freezers here. Great and friendly service from the business owner as well. I bought some locally sourced honey here and as a result have now discovered another gem to support in the area! "The Bee Box" sells items here and I fell in love with their unique blends of honey flavors. We got some ice cream sandwiches here - strawberry cheesecake, birthday cake, and lemon - and boy they were delicious! HUGE, but tasty and decadent quality nonetheless! Also, as a side note... our drive back to Sac was about 45 min from here. I could only eat half of the ice cream sandwich, but by the time we got home after those 45 mins, the big remaining half of the sandwich was still cleanly frozen! I popped it into the freezer and enjoyed the rest of it later. We didn't even put it in a cooler or anything, plus it was a hot day. So if you don't finish your ice cream then don't worry because it won't melt fast.! I'll definitely be coming back here next time I'm in town!

    While exploring Auburn's main street area I saw a sign for a candy shop, so naturally, I had to go and check it out. There were barrels of candy and lots of freshly made truffles and treats in the glass cabinets. Now, I went twice and the second time the owner was there and let me know that most of the chocolates in the case are gluten free so that was nice. Obviously the rice krispies, pretzels and cookies were not gluten free but it was nice getting to try some other items. They also have some plush and tourist type items. It was a fun discovery.

    Unbelievably delicious homemade ice cream sandwiches and candy! Inside you can grab a bag and fill it with any candy you want, plus they have so many fun vintage packaged treats to choose from. The shop also has a few tables with games so you can sit, relax, and enjoy your treats. The owners are a wonderful mother-and-son duo who make the place feel extra welcoming. Such a fun spot to visit!

    The super cute entrance at the bottom of the stairs! It quite literally feels like a cave. Such a special hidden gem

    Stopped in our way home from Tahoe and had a great experience. Super cute little shop with candy barrels, handmade chocolates, ice cream sandwiches, old fashion candy, a whole wall full gummies in jars and more! The lady who owns the place was SO kind and helpful and her hospitality was unmatched. Highly recommend if you're in the area.

You can ask to sample a mandarin while you're there. He let me choose one from any crate. Currently, you can buy 5 lb for $10. The 10 lb bag for $22 isn't as good a deal, maybe because you are purchasing the cardboard box? You can also buy crates for $50, which is the best value. I think a crate contains 40 lb. This has been the only farm I have seen so far that allows you to purchase so huge a quantity, especially so early in the season. Mandarins are juicy. You may be able to buy other farm produce here, like persimmons and nuts. The Fuyu persimmons looked so perfect and beautiful that I bought a big bag for $10. You can pay by credit card. Mandarin Hill Orchards is off English Colony Way, part of the Mandarin Trail. Happy Dayz Vineyard is located on the same grounds. I like that you can see and drive through the scenic mandarin orange orchard when you shop here. Even the railroad crossing you have to drive over is pretty.

I specifically asked for ZERO greenery and sent in pictures of bouquets with zero greenery and there was about 50% greenery. I also asked and sent photos that I wanted a more flat bouquet and it was round. To top it off I provided them with ribbon I wanted used as well as a picture and the ribbon was not used because they said my white satin ribbon would not look good. My bouquet was picked up right before my first look and my family had to fix my bouquet and tie ribbon onto my bouquet. There was zero apologies from the owner and she blamed her daughter for not wanting to tie the ribbon.

She texted me immediately pictures of her animal collection. I picked one out- and cost of item and delivery was most reasonable. I told her that I would call back in the morning and place the order. I was told by my son, that my granddaughter would most likely be in the hospital for several days! SURPRISE!!!! The next morning her condition had drastically improved and she was marked for release. I hurried and placed my order again talking to the store owner. She was now aware of the soon to be release. SURPRISE!!!! Within 15 minutes my son announced they had released my GD ... I called the store panicked. Because the owner had no drivers yet for delivery, she herself, personally delivered my gift .... Straight to my GD's room. The owner dropped everything, closed her business to deliver a goofy colored bird for a total stranger living in Las Vegas! If that's not exceptional care, service and kindness nothing is. If anyone reading this book needs flowers, gifts, candies delivered in this shop's area...... you'll be delighted you gave your business to Petals and Sweets.
