4.5* (out of 5 Food: 5* Atmosphere: 5* Value: 4* Service: 4*03 15 2023If you follow my posts, you know that I'm a sucker for sweets so it was hard not to like this place. We were in the area and heard about it from friends, so stopped in while my brother and Sister in law were visiting. As you might expect in a place like this, there was a great selection of chocolates and pretty much all things sweet. While the prices were a little on the high end, they weren't out of line with other similar places in higher traffic rent areas.They are known in some reviews for their chocolate covered bacon (what can't be good if it includes bacon and chocolate, right? . While I found the bacon salt with the chocolate to be a good combination, my wife and I both commented that it would have been even better if the bacon inside was more crispy. I love dark chocolate and sea salt caramel though and their Dark Chocolate Sea Salt Caramels were absolutely delicious!Assuming you like sweets since you read this far into the review, you will definitely enjoy a stop here to pick up some local, great tasting and unique sweets!If you found this review helpful, please show your appreciation with a Like or a Follow.Photos copyright: happyhourdesmoines.com thefoodanddrinkguy.com

The customer service at this restaurant was absolutely terrible! Make sure to check your order before you leave because they only gave me half of what I paid for and I had to drive back to get the rest. The staff were rude and slow. This was my first time ordering from here and it will definitely be my last. The food was not well-prepared for the price I paid, and the containers were falling apart. The parking lot was also a nightmare. If I could, I would give this restaurant a negative rating.

I decided to try this restaurant because of Rhett and Link, and it did not disappoint. The cotton candy was amazing, and everyone needs to try the blueberry jam!

I was eager to try out this restaurant, as it came highly recommended by several people I know. Being not from Iowa, I had not heard of it before. I visited for the first time to purchase some gifts for clients and stocking stuffers for my family. The quaint little house was charming and they had a great selection of items. My daughter was especially enamored with the cotton candy section, and we ended up buying several different flavors. While the prices were on the higher side, I didn't mind as it was a local establishment. I'm not a chocolate expert, but I was expecting the chocolate to taste better than it did. In my opinion, the chocolate was mediocre at best. Nonetheless, the overall experience at the restaurant was enjoyable.
