I struggle to understand this place. On one hand, it has an amazing selection of chocolate, better…read morethan most places I've seen on the coast. On the other hand though, the older gentleman (I assume the owner, he's always there) is just so abrupt, rude, and unfriendly. It's like he hates customers. Before me in line was a grandmotherly woman who was so excited for the chocolate as she ordered, it was utterly charming to watch, her kids stood nearby encouraging her. And the owner was so rude to her for no reason I could sense, it was like he was having a bad day, except he's having a bad day every time I'm there. I'd go to their other location on the main drag in Newport, which has the same items (more, in some cases) but they have a weirdly absurd cash only policy. It pains me to give the owner money when so many businesses are struggling, and he can't be bothered to be borderline pleasant. Can one of the 100 other candy shops on the coast start making all their chocolate options so we can put this man out of business?

Service is so friendly - they both didn't stop smiling the whole time we were there. The choices were outstanding! Chocolate, cookies, lemon bars and brownies.

It's a cute little building and store with places to eat and have coffee inside. Well worth the 10-15 minute drive from Newport. Much better to us than the candy shops at the bay front or near the aquarium. Will definitely be back.

**Flavor:** Midnight Chocolate Truffle unicornbow…read more **Rating:** 4.5/5 stars The moment I scooped this Midnight Chocolate Truffle into my bowl, I knew I was in for something extraordinary. The color is impossibly dark - a rich, velvety brown that seems to absorb light rather than reflect it. The texture is perfection itself - smooth yet substantial, with none of the icy crystallization that plagues lesser chocolate ice creams. The first spoonful delivers an immediate cocoa explosion that's both intense and nuanced. This isn't your childhood chocolate ice cream. The flavor profile evolves dramatically as it melts on your tongue - starting with a bold, slightly bitter dark chocolate note, then mellowing into something creamier with hints of espresso and vanilla. The finish reveals subtle notes of cherry and almond that linger pleasantly. What truly sets this ice cream apart are the truffle pieces scattered throughout - not too many, not too few. These decadent morsels provide textural contrast and concentrated bursts of chocolate flavor that elevate the experience from merely delicious to transcendent. My only complaint? At $9.99 per pint, it's definitely a splurge. But for special occasions or when you need to reset your chocolate standards, this is absolutely worth the investment. Would I buy it again? Already have. Twice. Have you tried any exceptional chocolate ice creams lately? I'm always looking for recommendations to expand my frozen dessert horizons.

The ambiance reminds me of the old candy shops I would go to on the Oregon coast, which brought back fond memories. It would be helpful if, instead of a large sign that said 'bakery,' it had the business name. Nonetheless, this place was great, and we will definitely be back.
