We wanted to give a big shout out to Lillian. This place was slammed with at least 12-15 people in line to order the best ice cream in Meridian. As we walked in, while helping others, she greeted us with a “welcome in!” She was calm and cool! Very impressed. The ice cream was so awesome! I got a few tuffles to not share later :) and we got a good game of Sorry! (I was the biggest winner!!!) great night. Also got to see some friend’s goodies for sale!

My friend was at the Vault a few doors down. It's a pretty dope cigar bar. They sell liquor there but I'm not a drinker so it was cool that this chocolate shop was a few steps away. It was perfect timing to stop in for an afternoon caffeinated beverage and a treat. I have been to a lot of parts of Meridian but I didn't even know this shop even existed. Where have I been? This shop is my ideal hang out spot. They have coffee and chocolates, two of my favorite things. And the chocolates here didn't disappoint. They all looked so good. The chocolates were prettily lined up in the bright display case. There was also a variety of packaged goodies too. I'm a visual eater so I like to pick out my own chocolates. Making a decision to which one to get will be the hard part. I got a a couple americanos started for my friend and I. We got iced americanos with sugar free white chocolate and cream. While our drinks were being worked on, I ate my caramel marshmallow milk chocolate heart and checked out all the merch on the floor. I did a run through all the treats in the little paper bags. The chocolate dipped potato chips caught my eye. I love me a sweet and salty treat. I love the Valentines day packaged chocolates. A big red heart full of sweets. There is also cards, art work, stickers and homemade goods. This is a great place to grab a quick and easy gift. My chocolate was so good! The marshmallow, caramel and milk chocolate is such a winning combination. I could have eaten another 2 or 3 pieces but I had some chocolates earlier in the day so I really had to control myself. The americanos looked really good. The sweet gal that made them did a good job. The espresso was very present. The half and half did help with the bitterness of the espresso. The white chocolate was there but I could have used a hair more or a packet of sweetner to make it a tad sweeter. I didn't see any sweetener packets anywhere so I'll have to ask them next time if they have any. But the espresso was just what I needed to keep me going. This venue is very cute. They have all sorts of options here besides coffee and chocolates. There are also Italian sodas, gelato, milk shakes and espresso in a scoop of ice cream. The espresso and ice cream combo is definitely a must try the next time I'm in! There is also a happy hour between 4 to 6 so that will be a great time to come in for a sweet treat. Looking forward to coming back and trying other sweets that are offered here, especially that espresso and ice cream concoction.

We absolutely love Truffles Exc We’re regulars there and always have a great experience. The vibe is awesome, the customer service is top notch, and the staff is seriously amazing. Also having local artist pieces and other unique crafts is so much fun to look at while you wait, and available for purchase. Kyrie is always so nice and helpful every time we come in. She’s always smiling, easy to talk to, and goes out of her way to help people. She’s definitely a favorite in our family. Highly recommend, stop in if you haven’t. You won’t regret it.
