Family‑owned sweet shop in Tusayan serving house‑made chocolates, fudge, gelato, gourmet popcorn, and trail mixes—perfect fuel (or reward) for your Grand Canyon adventure.
Absolutely loved this place! The coffee is AMAZING—smooth, rich, and perfectly brewed. They have a great selection of sweets, from yummy ice cream (highly recommend the Sea Salt Caramel!) to an incredible variety of fudge—the best I’ve ever had. The service is super friendly and patient, making the whole experience even better. A must-stop spot for anyone with a sweet tooth.
Amazing fudge and icecreams.. great staff!! Good parking and overall great experience
The fudge is excellent and they give you decent sized samples. My favorite is the turtle and the rocky road. Peanut butter fudge was like eating the filling of a peanut butter cup it was a bit too sweet and rich.The apples looked divine but I didn’t have room in my luggage to take it. The dark chocolate peanut butter cup was excellent. Thick delicious chocolate with smooth peanut butter in the center. The chocolate covered pretzels unfortunately were stale.Some of the prices make no sense. $2.50 for one pretzel is very expensive, $4.50 for one small truffle is very expensive. $5 for bag of chocolate rocks is cheap compared to the amount you get for $10 at the gift shops. Also they have chocolate covered honeycomb for 2 for $2.50 also a good cheap treat. $9.99 for caramel apples which is also a very good price. So pricing is weird. I of course rather everything be affordable :)No doubt that this place makes amazing chocolate and fudge. They make everything in the cases minus the gelato. Come and try some Fudge!
Great place for any sweet tooth! Prices are cheaper than other locations. Clean, courteous, helpful, patiently giving out samples while trying to decide which yummy treats want to get. I stopped on way to grand canyon, not once, but twice so could get extra to take home & some goodies for my sister's b-day!
They have very unique snacks so we grabbed two small chocolate bars and two ice cream cones. My total was about $40 so I do think they are a bit pricey. The Ice cream, butter pecan was what I chose, was exceptional.
