“They offer dark and milk chocolate covered strawberries, both were delicious. The place is clean and well organized. I visited the day before valentine's so there were a ton of people inside. Despite it all the environment was friendly and they were able produce boxes upon boxes of the strawberries. I highly recommend.”

“Such friendly service. There is a wide variety of gifts to choose from, lots of ‘old fashioned candy’, great homemade bakery items, AND homemade chocolates, truffles, and bagged candy availability. They even have a great little selection of drinks such as Boylan sodas and Joe’s Tea. If you haven’t been, RUN….. Don’t WALK! Best kept little secret in our area.”
“This is the only home made store that hand makes Ribbon Candy especially peanut butter. This is a true art and difficult, probably why they are the only one and it's FABULOUS and very reasonable priced & can be sold out. The hand made chelates are excellent also!”
“I can't say enough about this wonderful place. Went out this past weekend, from the phone call for directions and hours to the great and friendly atmosphere, reasonable prices and selection. We will definitely be back.”
“Ordered chocolates for Christmas gifts and everyone loved them. I gave them each an assortment of bark and everyone raved about it. My 102 year old mom especially loved the white chocolate, pistachio and cranberry bark.”

“5 Star experience start to finish from Uncle Sam's! They absolutely knocked it out of the park on this custom order! I came to them with ideas and photos for custom chocolate covered strawberries and the team FAR EXCEEDED MY EXPECTATIONS. Give this place and chance to do your custom order especially with these holidays coming up. Keep your business with a home town outfit and not a national brand. You will be absolutely blown away by their expertise and professionalism!”
“Ridiculous amount of options. The staff is very friendly. Only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because it's a bit pricey. I think you're paying something like $30 a lb.”

“⭐ Five Below – 131 Colonie Center, Albany, NY ⭐
Friday May 30,2025
Shoutout to Kristina – a Rockstar Training Manager in from Massachusetts ?
I want to share my unexpectedly awesome experience at this location, thanks to an incredible employee named Kristina, who was visiting from Massachusetts. She is a training manager, and honestly, Five Below is lucky to have her.
Here’s what happened:
By mistake, I accepted a 19-item DoorDash shop for Five Below—thinking it was a Five Guys ?.
I dreaded it. My last three Five Below shops at other locations were awful. I’m a professional shopper, and in those stores, items were scattered with no clear layout. It was stressful and time-consuming.
But this time, I called ahead to the Colonie Center location to ask if someone could assist me.
To my surprise, Kristina herself answered the phone. She was kind, calm, and immediately understood my dilemma. When I arrived, she personally guided me through the shop—something she absolutely didn’t have to do. She was beyond helpful and made the experience seamless.
Since DoorDash gave me 30 minutes to complete the shop, Kristina used that time to walk me through the store layout and explain how everything was organized. In just that short window, she gave me more clarity and support than I’ve ever had at any Five Below store.
Five Below corporate: Kristina is a gem. If your company plans to keep partnering with shopping platforms like DoorDash or Shipt, consider putting her in charge of store layout strategy or shopper training resources—because she gets it. And she deserves a raise, too. ?
— A grateful DoorDash shopper

“Staff at the Party City in Clifton Park are phenomenal. There was a mix-up and some decorations I was having delivered went MIA and the staff went above and beyond to get the missing decorations to me. They were kind, knowledgeable, efficient and provided exemplary customer service. This is by far the best Party City in the Capital District. Albany’s location is closer but I’ll be making the drive to Clifton Park from now on, it’s worth the extra few minutes 100%.”
