The tour was a lot of fun. Our guide was very friendly and helpful. You get to take home a candy apple, 3 chocolate covered pretzels, and 2 chocolate covered Oreos. Plus they gave us plenty of samples. Would definitely recommend for a weekend date idea
It's got a smaller selection but it's an absolutely wonderful chocolatier and the employees clearly love what they do and give suggestions and samples! I brought two kids here and they were given samples of liquid milk chocolate and it tasted like what I imagine heaven tastes like! It's also pretty cheap for chocolate and really conveniently located.
Fun for all ages. And you leave with lots of treats.
**Edited to add- they contacted me directly and issued a refund as well as investigated why it wasn’t communicated that the tour wasn’t being offered. I have adjusted my star rating to reflect this good customer service.
ORIGINAL POST: I purchased a tour for my child’s christmas gift. The create your own candy stations were in the storefront and we did that whole process as described on the website, but then the host said “ok that completes the tour. Thanks for coming in today!” I was confused because we didn’t tour anywhere in the kitchen or “factory” part. Me and the other parent who was there with her kids said “we thought it included a tour?” to which she replied “we can’t give tours right now because there is construction happening in the back end.”
While I appreciate that they are still trying to provide the experience of creating our own, what I purchased the tickets for was the tour. I can make my own chocolate dipped goodies at home and felt like the cost did not match the experience. I don’t appreciate that there was no forwarding about the closure of the kitchen area. No email. No heads up when we first arrived. No offer to make different appointments for when construction is complete. They are also not serving gelato, in case you see that online. The gelato area is closed down for the “foreseeable future”.
I wish I could have rescheduled for a time when the factory was open or gotten a refund. I am disappointed in how they handled this part of the experience.
Fancy stuff. Very professional and delicious.
(@ NC I wish you would've put chocolate covered cookies instead of rasins.
I like rasins. But I never met anyone who likes chocolate covered rasins.)
Amazing chocolates and candies! But, even more incredible was the wonderful experience created by our host, Marly. Truly a beautiful visit.
Chocolate was delicious! Definetly recommend.
The best place I know for non dairy chocolates! Truly exceptional assortment.
The tour was very informative and everything we made tasted sooo good. It truly is an art and enjoyed making our own treats much. Highly recommend !
Nice, friendly staff. Very clean shop. They have a wide range of options, some made in house. Chocolate is dairy free which is great! You can order online and pickup in store or have it shipped or delivered.

High quality and delicious treats with sweet service. Build your own box of assorted chocolates
Our family loved this tour!
We started with a walk-through of the cacao bean’s journey—from exotic farms to refined bars. There were hands-on displays and even a chance to try cacao beans ourselves. Tasting chocolate at different stages—raw nibs, partially processed, and then silky-smooth finished pieces—was eye opening.
Overall, the tour was well-paced, entertaining, and delicious. Whether you're a casual sweet tooth or a full-blown chocoholic, this tour delivers a decadent experience that's both educational and indulgent.
Fantastic experience! A big thank you to Nut & Candy for the wonderful tour and delicious chocolate tasting!
Absolutely top of the line! Incredible quality , incredible staff, incredible products, incredible taste.
I received a beautiful gift of English toffee. Beautifully packaged and tasted fantastic.
