I popped into this spot on a random Saturday morning to grab some chocolates for my wife. They had a huge assortment of truffles, from cognac to frangelico, creme de minth, and fruit flavors like orange, with both dark and milk chocolate caramel. On the left side, there were caramels and almond bark - just a great variety of stuff. The guy hooked me up with a box of 6 for $ 12 for the lady and even offered me a free sample. I tried the creme de menthe, which was excellent - I'm a big fan of mint. The dude behind the counter, Sammy, was super friendly, humble, and genuinely seemed like a nice guy. I'd definitely come back here again for some chocolate from Sunny. If you're in the area, stop by. There's coffee nearby too, so if you like your coffee and chocolates, go for it! read more

Stopped here while visiting UC Davis (seeing how much university changed since our daughter graduated) and came upon this gem. As soon as you enter you are engulfed with a chocolate aroma. The owner is both a gentleman and chocolate master whose specialty seems to be truffles (must be 20 options if not more) If you like chocolate, or even if you don't, stop here for a sample. You will not regret it! read more

The BEST chocolate!!! It does taste like good quality European chocolate. Amazing flavor - no bitterness in the dark chocolate. I've never liked fudge in USA because it's way too sweet. But when I tried the fudge with walnuts at this place - I wanted more and more of it. If you want a really good chocolate - that's the place to go, you won't regret it. read more

The owner is the sweetest and truly loves his job! The place is so cute and has a huge selection! The chocolates and fudge are always amazing and he always give free samples. Best place to get gifts for people or you own personal treat! read more

How is it that I lived in Davis for 5 years, never came to The Candy House, then on a visit back to Davis for a conference, I discovered this great little gem? I really should have explored the town more back then... Anyway, The Candy House of Davis is awesome. It's a little shop with a lot to offer. Lots of chocolate, lots of truffles, lots of fudge, lots of love. The guy who runs the shop is so nice - he clearly loves what he does and loves connecting with people. I ended up ordering a box of 10 truffles and got to pick each piece. Since it's Mother's Day this weekend, I also got to pick a cute little box and card as well, which was a lovely touch. Afterwards, he asked me what sample I wanted and I tried some fudge with walnuts - delicious! Fudge was so smooth, and the nuts added a good crunch to it. read more

The Candy House of Davis - So many options! - Candy Stores Near Me - Davis, California

Very good handmade chocolates by the owner Sammy. Very friendly service. Delicious truffles and chocolates. Highly recommend.

Amazing chocolate with very knowledgable owner! Support this small business!!! He is so generous and has great recommendations.

The truffles are just so yummy. So many flavors to try and so far they are delicious. Cant say they are all great but thats only because it may take us a while to try them all due to the huge variety. The gentleman that helped us was so nice as well. If looking for a good chocolate then treat yourself! read more

Lovely family-run shop. Owner has a ton of experience. All of the chocolates are fantastic. Wish there were more dairy-free options, maybe something with coconut cream. read more

Finally popped in to this spot to buy a gift for my parents while they were visiting Davis. The owner was in the back making chocolate and came out promptly to help us select our truffles. After checking out, he brought us some very large samples. The samples and the truffles were excellent! We'll definitely be returning to get more for ourselves. read more

This is an eclectic little chocolate shop on the outskirts of downtown, and I would highly recommend you stop by. You really can't go wrong with chocolate, so there's not much NOT to like about this place. We got 6 truffles and a chocolate covered caramel, and had a fun taste test among ourselves. The owner was super sweet and gave us all free samples after the purchase -- HEFTY samples, that definitely were worth a decent amount. Plus the place was quite and perfect to sit and hang out with some cute music in the background. Maybe I'm in a post-chocolate high, but I definitely think Candyhouse of Davis deserves high remarks :) read more

I frequented this place over 15 years ago and somehow never wrote a review in that time (although I practically threw money at it because it's truly awesome). I recently returned and stopped by and the same gentleman was there. Not only did I get a BUNCH of delicious chocolate Truffles but he insisted on giving my 3 year old samples and she went from sulking to delighted. I've since come back twice and each time I love it just as much. Definitely recommend stopping by and if you ever need a really cool gift - he makes these "chocolate bowls" that you can put truffles in that look gorgeous! read more

Go here. The nicest owner and the best truffles in the world. Are you tired of spending 3.50 per candy in Napa? Come here Cheaper and better. This owner has won awards and is quite humble. 5 STARS! read more

Unbelievable greatest chocolate i have ever had and the store owner is very kind aswell 10/10 will visit again

My daughter just started at UC Davis this week. She saw the "Chocolate Truffles" sign in the window so of course we had to investigate. The shop owner couldn't have been nicer. He piled on the samples for her. As a bonus the prices are very reasonable for nice quality chocolates. We are looking forward to going back soon! read more

I had to check this place out after receiving a box of truffles from my boss for Christmas. It's on third street just east of the train tracks in downtown Davis, and as soon as you walk in and get buffeted by a rich chocolate fragrance, you'll know you've found the right store. Their offerings go way beyond truffles. I bought a slab of English toffee which although delicious, I wished had more buttery toffee flavor (I docked one star). They have a wide selection of chocolate cast in different shapes: airplanes, roosters, the still-talking but severed head of Bill O'Reilly (just kidding on that last one). But do check out the truffles! Thirty different varieties of "the Pyramid Truffles of Le Chocolat Elegant" with a convenient key to their outside designs that reveals their inside treasures. These will be my secret weapons of mass seduction next Valentine's Day along with a bottle of Domaine Chandon's Blanc de Noirs. Try fine chocolate with this champagne and you'll know exactly what I mean. Do not let this technology fall into the wrong hands or we bachelors are all doomed (to raise our game even more)! read more

I go to this place and buy chocolate truffles for every occasion. They have a wonderful variety and the customer service is also amazing!

While visiting Davis, we found the Candy House of Davis. We decided to stop in and we are so glad we did. There were so many different types of chocolates there. It felt like we were at Willy Wonks's Chocolate Factory. Fantastic service and very close to Downtown Davis. We will be going back to the Candy House of Davis for ourselves and Christmas gifts. For all chocolate lovers we highly recommend going to the Candy House of Davis. read more

This place has the most amazing chocolate I've ever tasted. It's literally the cutest little shop that packs a big punch. And the man who owns the store is such a sweetheart. Anyone and everyone has to try this place read more

Being SUPER bored in Davis while the BF goes to class, I decided to Yelp a chocolate place and Candy House was my choice to go visit. Parking was super easy. Once I walked in, it was like I was 3 years old again! Chocolate EVERYWHERE! From the tables to the to glass cases. Every truffle and chocolate confection looked amazingly good! I got 3 truffles ( $1.90 each), vanilla, strawberry, and gourmet milk. The owner was so friendly and really helpful since I didn't know what to choose. We even had a small chat about SF and she even offered me not just a tiny sample but my choice of ANYTHING. So I got TWO whole slab of triple chocolate fudge (milk, white, and dark). One for me and one for my BF! So sweet. I've only tasted the fudge so far and it is by far the best fudge I've had in my life.. Really creamy and really good! It'll probably be a trip everytime I come to Davis from now on. read more

Ever since the other Michelle (Michelle T.) introduced me to this little shop back in early undergrad, it's definitely a sweet stop when downtown. Sometimes this even meant going before dinner time as they close, and the closer you arrive to closing time, more chances of freebies -- Sunny is super friendly and generous. With every order you get a "to go" choice truffle or whatnot (my fave being the chocolate dipped Oreos or strawberries when in season)...not to mention the plate of yummy yummy fudge samples by the register. At the end of the day you could score much of that fudge, mmm. I go almost every year for Christmas treats, specifically the boxes of truffles to giveaway, or the small colored/molded chocolates as well. Great little candy store in the heart of Davis. Don't save your visits all for Christmas or Valentines! read more

So good! The gentleman who helped us was extremely generous with samples. My husband and I both tried a truffle and I also tried a small piece of fudge. I ended up buying a friend a box of truffles. When I expressed how much I also enjoyed the sample of fudge when he rung me up, the man sliced off a larger sample for me to take back home. I mean, it was a legit sized piece. The chocolate is delicious, the customer service is excellent, what more do you want? read more

I don't even like truffles, but this candy has been a game changer and opened up a whole new world of gastronomic treats for moi....much to the dismay of my waistline. Their flavors are unique and set a high bar. The Kahlua, Grand Marnier, and Caramel are my faves. I live a good 70 miles from Davis but visit friends and always stop here. At Christmas I purchase multiple small gift packs. You can get 6, 8 , 10 or more pieces and they are the perfect way to say you're thinking of someone. I hand them out as little gifts to neighbors, mail carrier, etc. As for the owner, well, I can only echo what most have said. He is delightful, generous, and makes a hell of a treat. You will never experience this at a corporate shop. I love supporting a business that stands by its product and makes you feel good to boot! read more

This chocolate shop is such a Davis gem, it warms my heart every time I visit. The owner is a kind and generous man, and I adore the chocolates. My favorite is the orange peel dipped in chocolate. They also sell the most adorable boxes of chocolate (perfect for gifts) with a beautiful floral pattern. Definitely worth a visit! read more

Absolutely love this place! The owner was super nice and friendly and even gave us free samples to try! If you're ever in this area it is a must try! read more

I had only 2nd bites of the chocolates I gave to my girlfriend. My girlfriend being the chocolate connoisseur said the chocolates were above average. I told her later that they won best of the bay for budget chocolate when they were in SF (didn't mention the budget part). Anyhow she likes them and that's the most important thing. Oh yeah, wish the chocolate card was printed better. Famous for: Hand made chocolates. read more

The best chocolate and the nicest chocolatier!!! My favorite are the truffles and the ginger dipped in chocolate.

After 4 years since I moved to Davis, I finally walked in this little gem and I was overwhelmed w the selection. I bought a little bit of each type of chocolate and indulged in one night. I highly recommend. Guys, please buy treats here and support the local business during this crazy time. It's perfect for Christmas!!! read more

I didn't discover this place until my last year as a UC Davis student. I always drove past it and wanted to try. I'm so sad I had so little time to buy their chocolate. The owner is very very friendly!! I don't think you can get friendlier. After finding out I was a first time visitor, he made sure I had a taste of every flavor I wanted before deciding which to purchase. Like what??? Free chocolate?? Don't mind if I do! I don't think any other business would do something like that. I purchased chocolate on couple different occasions. If I'm ever back in Davis, I will for sure stop by again. read more

I love this place. I LOVE LOVE LOVE this place. The owner is super nice, you get a free sample most the times when you're buying something. I love the fudge! it's just so rich and creamy and delicious, but you shouldn't have too much of it. It's like butter, just melts in your mouth... oh my god just writing this makes me want to go there and buy some! oh right. they're closed right now! The truffles are good, but kinda big. I love the marzipan filling, the kahlua filling, and the orange liquore. I'm not a big fan of any of the white chocolates, but then again, I just don't like white chocolate. Everything else is really good. They have already boxed items too, but I'd recommend that you make your own boxes so that you can have only the ones you want in there. read more

The owner was really nice! He gave us some samples to try which were super good. There was a wide selection of different chocolates and it's nice how it's all made in house. Will definitely come back :) read more
