    I was very disappointed with the attitude of the owner. It's too bad because I try to support local but looks like Amazon has better prices and no hassle attitudes.

    I love this store and the staff is so friendly and helpful. I can't wait until they can resume their classes again.

    Unfortunately, Winnie the Pooh isn't much of a theme in the baking world anymore, but I had an enjoyable time checking out this baking supplies store.

    From the moment you pull into the parking lot, you know you're about to experience something…read morespecial. The charming farmhouse exterior gives way to a cozy country store atmosphere inside, making the entire place feel warm and inviting. One of my favorite parts was the wide-open kitchen, where you can watch the staff hard at work. Even without booking an official tour, it feels like you're getting a behind-the-scenes look at the chocolate-making process. The experience is made even better by the incredible front counter staff. They were patient, knowledgeable, and genuinely excited to share what they do. We were offered samples, walked through much of the process, and never felt rushed. I'm not going to list everything we ordered. There were simply too many delicious items to mention. But I can confidently say this was some of the best chocolate I've ever had. Every bite tasted exceptionally fresh, clean, and thoughtfully crafted. The flavors were rich without being overwhelming, and somehow every piece left me wanting just one more. It might be a blessing that they aren't more conveniently located... but honestly, I can't think of any downside to eating their chocolate more often. So, Eldora, if you're listening: please, please, please open a location on Albuquerque's East Side, or at the very least, start delivering. You'd have a customer for life.

    Eldora chocolates is an awesome place. Their chocolate is wonderful. Their ice cream is delicious…read more I also like that they offer tasting samples and if you can get on one of their tours, they are so informative and fun, especially the chocolate making one. It's a great way to spend a day, especially with visitors we go every time we have someone come to town.

    Buffets Candies is a great place to stop in while in Albuquerque. I am very familiar with Buffets…read moreas the popcorn I absolutely adore is shipped by Buffets. While I usually go to Buffet's Cannery off of 7th, I was hoping to find my popcorn here. They did have a few selections of popcorn, but not the exact flavor I wanted. This store did have a ton of chocolates, including the noted Red Chili brittle. This is delicious and a must have! Buffets has very friendly staff and even offers you a free sample when you enter. Buffets reminds me of what I have seen Candy stores looking like from the 1950s - very retro! It was a blast from the past.

    A sweet tradition in ABQ since 1956, this Buffett's Candies is a newly opened location. Buffett's…read morehas lots to offer for your sweet tooth (even some frosted treats for your pup!) as well as some sweet & savory selections from the Popcorn Cannery. The facility is nice and bright, with a red-and-white theme and pops of starbursts painted on the walls. Displays are not overly crowded, allowing the items to be showcased. I was greeted immediately by an employee and offered a sample of dark chocolate salted caramel. Yum! I was very happy with my purchase (as was my pup). The white chocolate coconut pattie was full of toasted coconut flavor, and the Christmas Mix popcorn with green and red chile cheese flavors never disappoints. I did have to break the frosted dog bone into smaller parts since it was so big, but my dog ate it up. You can order ahead for pickup as well.
