We went back two days later to get more ice cream... we got the same ice cream but both got marshmallow topping and I got pecans. The line was not bad in this place compared to ice cream alley well worth going to. Is reasonable price, only paid $14 for our bowls of deliciousness:)

Their pricing is reasonable and the ice cream tastes like a better quality than other options in McCall. My kids love coming here whenever we visit. The shop is small, but there are some barstools setup for indoor seating. I love the bright colored walls, but I do wish you could mix and match the candy in one bag instead of having to purchase multiple bags of candy to get different flavors.

The kids picked out marshmallow pops which were so cute, decorated for Halloween! I picked out a bag of huckleberry chocolates for the hubby! And for myself, truffles! These are the BEST! We split a pumpkin, dirty banana, and a peppermint one. Omgsh so delicious! We also grabbed some chocolate pretzel sticks too. These were also so yummy! I appreciate how affordable literally everything in the shop was. This makes it easier to come back and reward the kids more often. Lady at the front was super friendly and great with the kids. We enjoyed talking with her. The shop is so adorable and decorated. She organizes all her goods in a way that's easy to browse all options without visually overwhelming you. Top to bottom, it is spic and span. That always makes me happy knowing food is prepped in a hygienic environment. We're all excited to come back and try new flavors and treats!

Sweet find, literally and figuratively, of this handcrafted confectionary when we noted the…read moreBluebird sign out front as we zipped down Blaine Street on our way to Cliff's Market (to buy local melons and peaches) yesterday. So we ended yesterday's Caldwell "buy local" excursion by returning to Bluebird Confections to find the "ahhh"-roma as we walked in of in house made caramel, individually wrapped and also chocolate covered, in various flavor combinations. They also make truffles and chocolate dipped marshmallow pop and everything is made on site. The hand wrapped caramels are sold in bags (of a dozen $10) or individually and come in multiple flavors and combinations. Wrapped caramels have little samples to try to help you decide if you're torn among all the many options. A bag of bourbon-pecan caramels came home with us to pass along to our originally from Kentucky next door neighbor along with some of the cutely decorated marshmallow pops ($1.75) for the children. We bought a bag of beer-pretzel caramels for ourselves along with a couple of truffles (cherry and huckleberry). Truffles and the chocolate covered caramels can be purchased individually or in clear gift worthy small boxes. Some of the truffle and caramel flavors are all year long offerings (like sea salt) and some are seasonal offerings, like the huckleberry available in this season. Local ingredients are used in making these confections and you can taste the quality. Because caramels are fresh made there is a "best by" date on the bottom of each bag and the owner shared with us if one doesn't want to eat them prior to that (the date on ours was about a month out) that they store indefinitely in the freezer. (But, "hahahahaha" we said, they will not make it a full week at our house. Still, frozen caramels sound delicious!) SERVICE: The owner helped us make our selections and answered our questions about the business and her splendid service is part of what made shopping here a sweet experience. LOCATION: Blaine Street is near downtown Caldwell and was once upon a time a street of residences so businesses here were once old houses. If you recognize the Bluebird Confections house as onceuponatime location of The Sweetspot Bakery your memory would be right on that. (That bakery moved into more commercial space a few blocks away.) PARKING: Blaine is a one way street now pretty busy access way to downtown and it has no on street parking. But there is a driveway alongside Bluebird that leads to a small lot behind the building and a paved walkway at the side leading to the front entrance. ACCESSIBILITY: Two ADA spots in the back lot (sadly, one of them seems occupied by a vehicle without ADA placard or plate by someone who works at the pet salon next door). Accessible path to the front door includes a ramp up so all people who want to shop for splendid confections can do that. LOO: None so plan accordingly. PS: They take special orders and with fall and winter holidays straight ahead, a good time to consider adding these to your gift list! SURPRISE!: They have licorice caramels in their line up and while I didn't buy any this time, a bag of those will come home with us next time we're in. If you haven't tried licorice caramels before they are a bees-knees combination!

I arrived about 45 minutes before closing, and the young lady managing the store was super friendly and helpful. I explained that I wasn't sure what time they closed because the information on Yelp and Google did not match. She said she would update the operating hours to match. There's a lot of sugar inside, and the sweet aroma smacks you in the face the moment you open the door. I walked around the store, asked a bunch a questions, and then made my way to the gelato. The young lady explained that the gelato is made by a man from California, and it is brought in fresh. There are a lot of flavors to choose from, and they all look amazing. While I was trying to choose, I was offered many samples, which did help me decide on my choice. I got some gelato for myself and some for my wife, who was patiently waiting at home. While it didn't live up to gelato stand by the Trevi fountain or near St. Marks Basilica in Venice, it was damn good. If you're craving sweets, make sure to check Cravin's Candy Emporium.

I didn't feel pushed to buy anything, or rushed to see the store or checkout. I kept going around and around and gathering items and dropping them back off to the checkout counter. A very chill employee helped me roughly the first hour I was there, and then Beverly, the shop owner assisted me the remaining 1 hour I spent there. This store exceeded my expectations tenfold. I would turn a corner and there would be more exotic things. The refrigerated alcohol section had this delicious meade or ale. Viking something, perhaps... An eclectic variety of specialty items all around! A unique store with tools and gadgets imported from other countries. You name it, kitchen-wise, and it's likely there! I think I saw a Shakshukka seasoning blend and thought that was wild! That's my signature dish and I've seen the sauce in a jar but not the jar of spices! Just a lovely feel to the store. Positive vibes for sure! At the end of my experience, I told Bella I wish I could ave found an Oregon related patch, perhaps even Baker City, so that I could iron on to a denim jacket I was working on at home! And she said she had one somewhere but couldn't find it. And asked me to leave behind my contact info in case she ever did. Well, 6 months later she contacted me and I was overjoyed to hear from her. She said she'd found the patch and needed my address for it to be sent out. This lady's kindness was next level. I must say, it is one of my top if not FAVE patch on my jacket. Thank you Bella and your wonderful staff, in patiently assisting me. If I ever pass through Baker City again, I'll be sure to stop by your store each and every time. You found a customer for life! :)

You won't find Emilee's Candees in a dedicated storefront but the treats can be found at some local merchants. Like Stella's Ice Cream (another Nampa originated business) at their new Eagle location which is where my husband and I found a selection of Emilee's. We have only begun our goal of trying all of Emilee's treats. Based on early going we highly recommend the Dark Chocolate Almond Toffee. A 4 oz bag is just the right size to be shared by two and at only $5.00 it is a great buy for top quality. Beer caramels covered in chocolate are next on our list if they aren't sold out before we can get to them. No web site for Emilee's but Emilee's Candees can be found on Facebook and in addition to the phone number listed on the Yelp page you can reach them at emileescandees@gmail.com.
