A client chose to meet at The Candy Kid yesterday. I have to say, as a chocolate lover, I was disappointed. There just isn't enough selection of chocolate items for my taste and I'd rather buy chocolate almonds at Superstore. I was excited to see fudge and bought the Eggnog. It's okay but not overly flavorful. I wish I could have chosen the weight rather than having to purchase a brick, which was double what I wanted.
While deciding about a beverage, the staff encouraged me to try the Baked Apple Fog because "it tastes like hot apple pie in a mug." Um, no it doesn't. It was good but not overly hot and the apple flavor was very mild. I would get it again, though.
Seating is very limited but the tiny lounging area in the back was quiet and felt private, but of course no one else was sitting there.
The store has some fun knick-knacks and I hadn't actually seen Giant Microbes before (http://www.giantmicrobes.com), which made me laugh. It's a clean and tidy place and I had very friendly service. It actually feels like a store that should be tucked away in a remote area or small town because of the crazy combination of items for purchase.
