“Fun! A real candy store still exists. So many memories in this shop. I will definitely be back at Xmas for stocking stuffers. And a toy store a few doors down. So refreshing to visit these small businesses in pet friendly shopping area. With dining right around the corner.”
“Creo could mean something totally different to these folks- but the word really means Believe in Spanish. If I'm talking about the coating only, our bite-size selections at this Lloyd District chocolatier in Portland, had a pleasant cocoa taste and fillings in each, had a subtle hint of flavor. This space houses their factory where they're whipping up their specialty cocoa powders, bagged items and other goodies. The shelving consists of goodies made with Ecuadorian chocolate for their darks- not sure about their milk chocolate and white origins. This Creo location has a dramatic inside with high ceilings and these impressive, almost apothecary cabinets on either side of the shop. I wanted to hang with my daughter over a cuppa hot chocolate or h. cocoa- but, these folks don't make neither. So, we settled on a box of 12- which was steep at $42- but it was nice they honor the 10% Yelp Check-In offer. The real highlight about our visit was Alix's extremely down to earth energy and generous with her samples and smiles. Thank you!”

517 NW 23rd Ave, Portland“I've been going to Mrs. See's since I was a child, and it's still as magical as it was back then. The customer service is top notch. A trip to See's always puts a smile on my face. And this location is great! Last week, I was in during a rush when both staff were busy packing large orders. I waited no longer than five minutes to be helped, and they were so kind, attentive and apologetic before, during and after our transaction. They just go above and beyond to make you feel welcome.”
“The BEST LEMON CURD you will EVER, EVER tast. !!!!!!!!!!!!!! A great pity it is not readily available. I have tried everywhere to purchase it. It can be used in any number of creative desserts. You have never tasted anything like this. Nothing!!! can compare to it. Not even imported ones.”
“Got a box of baklava here for $35. The assortment in the box was plentiful and enough for sharing. It'd make a great gift. Staff was really friendly and let us sample some chocolates even though we only came for the baklava. The chocolate I did try was pretty good and comparable to most specialty chocolate shops. Prices are definitely on the spendy side.”
“The staff are so nice and welcoming. The prices for the products they have are very reasonable. The store just recently opened, so there isn't a huge amount of options. However, what they do have is so amazing! The honey caramels are absolutely perfect.More is planned to be on shelves and I am very excited to see the growth.”

“Remember when candy was a special treat and not just something else to put in the grocery cart? So do the folks at See's Candy.See's Bordeaux candy is my personal favorite! It's like biting into a bite of wonderful - a chocolate dipped, soft brown sugar truffle... And it's something only found at See'sRobin at See's Candy is a rockstar. She's super friendly and knows her stuff, making every visit enjoyable. She knows the products and can make some great suggestions if you aren't quite sure what to get, or if you want to try something new.So, if you're in the mood for a sweet adventure, swing by See's Candy and say hi to Robin. Don't forget to grab some Bordeaux for the road!”
“Nice chocolate store inside the mall. The young girl who was taking our order was so nice and well mannered. However, the other ladies were very cold and rushing. Chocolate was good. Not overly sweet. You can have it by the lbs or by the box. You can also customize both. You can even have half the bars or your desired size. I thought that was amazing. We did that with one of our Vanilla fudge. We bought 6 pieces for $10. Nice place if you are with your kids. The store is so clean and organized. I feel like just looking at it all day.”
“My siblings and I found this candy shop while walking the streets of Portland. We loved it so much!! The employees were nice and helpful, and there was a great selection of treats. I purchased a black cherry soda (yum!), and brought home some pink sea salt potato chips for my hubby. He says they were the best he’s ever had!”
“It's a small shop loaded with a variety of candy. The shop is super clean and workers there are super friendly. They sell Macaroons cookie. The shop is located right inside the Washington Square Mall. Parking is free and it is a wheelchair accessible.”
“We stopped in tonight as a special treat for my daughter’s birthday. The team was amazing - so kind, helpful and went above and beyond. They have won my loyalty!”
