The Cerreta Candy Company is an old family owned business, founded 30 years ago. Located in Historic Downtown Glendale's Murphy Park.
They aren't just a retail outlet -- no, this is the actual factory, folks! They offer free factory tours, and sampling is encouraged. It makes for a very unique date idea. And it's a great place to take the kids, or out-of-town visitors.
I give Cerreta 4 stars for their chocolate, and 5 stars for the experience. If you've never been, you really should try it.
