I was able to try their products at the Carson High School craft show. The 2 owners were both super…read morefriendly and asked me what my favorite candy was... but then I told them that I had never tried any freeze dried candy...they were both surprised and offered me a cute sample bag that had one of each flavor of the original skittles. I ended up purchasing a smaller bag of wild berry skittles and a bigger container of mixed gummy rings. I liked the fact that they carried smaller bags for under 5.00 so I could try them. The gummy was a nice mix so I could try one of each of the 4 flavors in one conatiner. And the larger container was under 10.00. Both prices were very reasonable compared to other booths that I have seen at other shows. I see that they are local in Sparks, NV. They told me their favorite was the caramels... so I might have to try those next. The pics I include did have more candies in them.. but we ate a lot of them.

I came here for a high tea experience on a Sunday in February and it was delightful! The tables…read morewere already set as we walked in with cute unique teacups. We sat down and ordered the tea we liked. We each got to choose our own tea and was told we could try as many as we want. I liked the pacing; I was able to have a long conversation with my friend without feeling rushed and no interruptions. Everything that came out was delicious. The scone was a little too flaky, in my opinion, but was still very tasty. It didn't look like a lot of food, but we were both very satisfied. I am definitely going to bring my Mom back for this. Also, the mini cakes here (not included in high tea) are absolutely gorgeous. They are not too sweet, and remind me of what I used to get at cafes in Japan. My favorite that I've tried so far is the blueberry cake. I love them all though. Can't wait to try more!

Wife and I came for afternoon tea to celebrate valentine's day. We made reservations about a month…read morein advance. It doesnt seem like they'll seat you early, so show up just a few minutes before your reservation. I think there is adequate parking out front as its in a shopping center. They brought out our tea first. We ordered the breakfast blend, which was a loose leafed tea. It was fine. It is all served in smaller tea cups, so fellas, pinkies out! There is a picture of the food we were served, and everything tasted really good! Even the stuff that didn't match our taste preferences. It looks like they have a different menu of food items each month. Note that they will not make substitutions to the food that is being served unless you have a food allergy. In addition to afternoon tea, they also have coffee, desserts, and gelato that can be purchased. We were so full that we didn't take any extra sweets home with us. Sophie was our server and was super friendly and offered to answer any questions we had. For the price, and the quality of food, I'd come back for the regular afternoon tea.

I saw that Dorinda's was having an open house and thought it might be fun to check it out, and I am…read moreso glad I did. I hadn't yet had a chance to try their chocolate, and this was an amazing opportunity to not only try a wide variety (mint meltaway, peanut butter cup, espresso bean, chocolate pretzel), but to also make some by hand! Visitors were allowed back into the kitchen, where we washed hands and donned gloves, and were then given a tutorial in how to dip and decorate dark chocolate salted caramels. Mine were not too bad (I'll keep my day job), but they absolutely tasted delicious. All of the chocolates had a very fresh and distinctly non-mass-produced taste. Dorinda's clearly offers high-quality candies, while also coming up with some amazing flavors like the rice crispies and the strawberry balsamic. (I got to taste the actual olive oil used for this, and I will have to pick some up next time I'm in Truckee). The biggest surprise was their cherry cordial. Cherries are my top 2 favorite chocolates, and these are absolutely the best I've had (better than See's, Godiva, etc.). Perfect blend of dark chocolate, tart maraschino cherry, liquid center, and the bit of fondant icing...and noticeably freshly made. Thank you Dorinda's for the opportunity to discover your chocolates and to get a glimpse into the magic behind these delicious candies. TIP: You can also pre-order and pick up your Frost Giant Creamery (small batch, locally sourced, made from scratch) ice cream here. I kept hearing everyone say, "Wow, that's good!" after tasting their Nevada Gold sample.

I went to one of the Wine & Chocolate Pairings and it was so fun. There were four pairings (two…read morewhite and two red) included in the $35 ticket which I thought was a pretty good deal. The team was all really nice and engaging and were able to help with all our needs. I can see why the venue is good for the summer with its outside dining but it can be a little difficult when it rains as it did last night. But even with the rain, it was still a good time. My top picks...the Prosecco Doc Treviso Brut with the lemon and white chocolate. Top notch!

Jeez, I literally dream of this place. Particularly one thing- their avalanche apple! It is soooooo…read moredang good. This consists of crushed Oreos, marshmallows, rice crispies, different types of chocolate or chocolate chips, u personally think they taste like peanut butter. Pairing that with fruit especially the apple is omg chefs kiss! Love candied apples!! I believe you can also get these avalanche bars by themself. The service was excellent! They give you a sample of fudge, a truffle or anything you are looking for this is why we always make a b line for it! Super friendly and we love love love love their chocolate! I also am hearing they have the Dubai chocolate stuff so I'll certainly have to try that!!! The vibe is cute!! It's super cozy and tucked away as well as being very neatly organized and the SMELL is literally amazing!!! You could smell the chocolatey aroma from miles away! If I could remember correct I think they have yummy drinks as well! I would love to come back to this location every time next time we are in that area we absolutely love it!

I took the kids to a local festival and spent a small fortune on yummy food trucks so I convinced…read morethem to skip dessert at the festival and quickly Yelped for a quick sweet treat that wasn't too far away. That's how we found Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory! They have a great selection of chocolates and candies. I even found sugar free options for my husband. We didn't pass up the photo op with the giant teddy bear! Definitely give this local business a try. It's tucked away... so try not to miss it! Use the Yelp directions and you'll get there no problem!

The music was a good mix of throwbacks and newer songs which made the vibe really fun. I'd say it's a little pricey, but they definitely have unique items you can't find at most places and everything we tried was delicious. Also, there's quite a few seafood options which I love & are always on the pricier side! We shared the lox crostini bites, charcuterie board, and ahi nachos between 4 people and it was the perfect amount -- satisfying without being too much. Might go again this weekend! Can't wait to try more things on the menu & take pics this time!

I came to the store to specifically buy some candy bars that I saw on Facebook. They are perfect for gifting! I found them immediately and was in heaven. Debbie explained them to me and there I went picking and choosing.... I ended up with 15 bars and was happy as a LARK to gift these out! Needless to say I went back for another 10 candy bars as I found the bourbon and pecan pie was my favorite and I needed more for myself and others. I'll post a pic and you can see the description of these candy bars! Thank you Debbie for the wonderful customer service and the candy bar you gifted me, I'll be seeing you soon when I need a unique gift!

During the pandemic, I have noticed a lot of places offer charcuterie, even if you aren't having an event. I found Hosted on Instagram and wanted to give them a try! They had so many options! I decided to order for Thanksgiving! The staff was so helpful in assisting with the order. And they deliver! Contact free delivery! One thing I loved the most, besides the delicious selection, was the staff gives you a list of what's on the board AND they support other local businesses!!!! I was able to support 5 local businesses by ordering this appetizer! I will order from Hosted again! And don't forget, they cater events as well!

It was perfect for our two person road trip and lasted into the next day. Hosted would definitely be my first choice for ordering a charcuterie board in the future. It made my life a lot easier not having to make it myself.

Free samples caught my attention and striking up friendly conversation with the owner Karla MacLeod really showed you can deliver wonderful customer service without being pushy. Loved it! They have a huge line up of spices, anything for a simple to gourmet chef and fun country items. I was ECSTATIC to see she sells Nevada Brining Company pickles - handcrafted in the Silver State - Wahoo!! I just watched a story on channel 2 news about this start-up pickling genius and it was on my list to check out. Fell into my lap visiting this boutique. I bought the Boozy Pickle with Whiskey and Fresno Peppers and the fast selling Ruby Red Onions Sweet & Sour. Prices are reasonable and lower than what other outlets charge for this popular pickling company. I can't wait to try the cauliflower when she gets it from the manufacturer. I appreciate the attention to detail wrapping each jar in purple gift wrap paper and placing into a crafty gift bag. I'm coming here for a last minute gift ideas! Really convenient they take plastic considering how small this establishment is. What's cash? Next time, I'm going for the red spicy salt for Bloody Marys!
