    First of all, Erieka, is an absolute ROCKSTAR!!! She is the assistant GM and was only on her second day, but made our visit extremely special. Luckily, both the GM and Regional manager were there during our visit and I made sure to tell them just how great she was and now I'm telling you! The sweets are always great, but the service is what counts and I would drive from Charlotte, NC again tomorrow just for that level of service! GREAT JOB MA'AM

    Love this place! It’s a smaller, better, more professional than the candy store (It’s Sugar) in Atlantic Station. They also sell ice cream. The coffee ice cream was fantastic! They have so much going on in there! The customer service was stellar! It’s worth the trip even if there’s no Brave’s game.

    This place is decent. I rate it a 2 star because the one and only time I got some of their praline candies, the pralines tasted like Fabuloso. The purple one, specifically. You can’t taste it when you eat it because it’s masked by everything else, but when you get to the praline and if you eat it separately, you can taste it. (I tasted a hint of the Fabuloso, and tested it that way to confirm if I was right it not). Not sure how that happened, if it’s a one time accident, but I won’t take the chances of that happening again. Really gross. That said, Fabuloso doesn’t actually clean anything so I don’t know why anyone would use it. Makes me question how sanitary everything else in this candy shop is.

    Stopped in after eating at Shake Shack to get something to drink. Had a sample of Pineapple Sorbet and was going to order a Strawberry Shake. After sampling the sorbet, I ordered that flavor for my shake and it was great. Service was very good and there are a lot of options for your sweet tooth.
