Chocolate tastes like a cleaning chemical. Way over priced. I love chocolate but threw most of the 8 pieces ($24) out. Wish I had read the reviews.

My sister and I stopped in here for a sweet treat before our dad’s wedding in the chapel. I would recommend the maple fudge as it melts in your mouth and the flavor is great. It is very sweet but that is almost to be expected of fudge. I like when the outside layer gets crunchy and the middle is still soft so I let mine dry out a little before I eat it…is that a food safety issue?? I have no idea but the fudge was yum and the girl was very helpful. Maybe $8 for a 1/4 slice is a little pricey but it’s not the craziest overpriced thing I’ve seen I guess. Overall, good experience and may go back again.

This place was so overpriced- it’s a rip off. $19 for one small bag of cactus cotton candy (pre packaged / manufactured), one cactus lollipop and a hot apple cider. The hot apple cider was $7.50 and it was just hot water with a packet of powder, all of which was at the bottom of the cup. Gross. I typically love supporting small businesses but I won’t be back here- such a rip off.

Terrible customer service, walked right out. Not trying to spend money somewhere when they can’t be bothered to turn around and greet you.

I’m surprised this place hasnt been shut down by the health department after reading so many other similar reviews. The chocolates I bought all tasted straight up like fabuloso or whatever dish soap or sanitizing product is contaminating their chocolates. Gave me a stomach ache only from a few bites. Not to mention they were pretty expensive. I really hate to write a bad review of small business but it’s definitely not a place you should go to unless they make a change to their methods :(

Stay away. I got chocolate honeycomb and it has nothing to do with honey. It was the most sugary thing I’ve ever had. I asked if was dark chocolate before buying and I was told it was, just to discover it was milk chocolate with sugar inside. I asked them to replace the second one with something less trashy and they replaced a huge chocolate with a tiny piece of almond covered with chocolate candy that ended up in the trash. I love tlaquepaque but this place is a complete shame on the complex. It should be closed!

Hot chocolate and apple cider were great. Choco covered gummy bears are good

Decided to try this chocolate/ Candy store here but I should have been warned the price is outrageous. I got 8 pieces of chocolate and a small cactus candy for $57 that is out of this world. They put all of the chocolate in a small paper bag and everything was mixed up. 0 on customer service. Definitely not worst the price.

Zero stars. We didn't end up getting anything because of 2 reasons. Couple of ladies on their phone couldn't even say hello. Ice cream looked baaad

I'm not sure how this place is still in business, perhaps the owners have a deal with property management as a space in such a desirable area, I imagine, is in high demand. The chocolate tasted like chemicals, we couldn't finish anything we purchased. It's pretty hard to mess up a chocolate covered Oreo and make it inedible.
DO NOT GO. Fudge and chocolate tasted dry and chemically, like fabulosa. The reviews of this poor taste go back over a year. So clearly they haven't changed their practices. I wish I had read the reviews before hand, but we had just gotten lunch and craved something sweet.

avoid at all costs. The chocolates and desserts are SO old and taste like chemicals. It’s overpriced and I threw it out. So bad

BIGGEST PROBLEM: Health policies are clearly not understood or being followed!
My sister and I stopped for a cold drink and something sweet in the early afternoon. We were informed that they were out of ice and could only make one iced drink for us. They should not have made that one drink - there was barely any ice in it. More like a room temp tea, not an iced tea!
OF EVEN GREATER CONCERN, I took my chocolate sea salt caramel square out of the bag I got it in to discover I had been given milk chocolate when I had ordered dark chocolate. I returned to the shop to ask for a replacement with the correct item, and the woman working behind the counter began to put the “wrong” piece (that had been in the bag in my purse in the heat for a half hour before I picked it up to eat it and realized the error) back into the display case to resell! Worse yet: she did not understand why I found that to be problematic. When I told her I had touched it, she then backtracked and informed me that she then could not replace it because it had been touched. I would have to buy a new chocolate square (for $3) if I wanted it replaced - even though it was her mistake that resulted in me having the wrong kind of confection.
My sister had already had to throw away her $10 piece of English toffee (overpriced is an understatement) because it had a strange chemical/stale taste.
Would NEVER patronize this shop again. Very concerned about health and safety policies not being followed.

Before coming here, I read some not so good reviews of this place and the "older gentlemen" running the register/shop. Yet I still decided to come here and had a completely opposite experience. The gentlemen running the store at the time was nice, made jokes, quick/efficient with a full shop, and we walked out with perfect ice cream and a delicious shake!!! I'm definitely recommending How Sweet It Is for ice cream in this plaza/area!
