The candy was great but the person serving the customers was not that hospitable. She seemed tired or irritated.

Only place that we have found to carry Jelly Belles in bulk quantities in Licorice flavor. Store is nice and super clean and you are always greeted upon entering the store. It seems this place is a diabetics nightmare! However sugar free items are also available. Ice Cream, Chocolates and other tasty treats can be found here at a fairly reasonable price. Dont forget your free sample. Located right off of I-65 in Athens. COVID precautions are enforced and Im glad. Enjoy.

This place is wonderful! My Mom and I are on a roadtrip and saw a sign for this place and decided to stop. What a great decision we made! There is so much chocolate! The ladies who work there were so nice and patient with us deciding what we want. (Thank you to the employees! Youre doing a great job!) I would definitely visit again anytime Im close to here. The dark chocolate peanut butter cups and the peanut butter chocolate fudge were DELICIOUS!

This was my first time in and Renee was serious awesome! She was very friendly and went above a d beyond when helping us! We definitely went to the clearance section. Renee also helped us with some delicious ice cream. We will definitely be back. One sad thing i will say is outside they have a sign that says caramel apples made fresh daily and we were told they only make them on Mondays and Thursdays. We also signed up for a free rewards card not only will we get awesome emails but we also got a free gift today. Definitely worth it and will have to take a trip on fresh apple day.

We were visiting from out of town and stopped here with our kids. The staff was very friendly and asked many times if we needed help. I loved the fact they had a clearance section tho I didnt think anything was over priced to begin with. Im sure our kids wont let us visit again without stopping for chocolate!

The ice cream is great and I highly recommend it. The chocolates can seem a bit over priced unless you go to the left side of the store when entering. There, you will find a large discounted section to browse.

Decent place but the Jelly Belly section was disappointing. Half the flavors were completely out and some of the ones we did get were stale. Theres no reason to come here in my opinion. Just buy candy at the grocery store.

Quite a selection of candy from all times of the year, whether it be Christmas, Halloween, Easter, or whatever else. In addition to a lot of Blooper candy discounted to get what you want at a cheaper rate. Awesome ice cream options, as well. The staff were quite friendly and helped us navigate the assortment of options.

Before choosing to do business with Edible Arrangements we called Russell Stover in Athens to inquire about their chocolate covered strawberries. Its after Valentines Day so I thought these shouldnt be in such high demand right now. However, the lady on the phone said itd be around 24 hours before we could pick up one dozen chocolate covered strawberries and they were over $14 more ($49 before tax) than what Edible Arrangements quoted us.The girl on the phone seemed like she didnt care whether or not we did business with them, like it was a chore to speak to us about their products and services.Not impressed.

Chocolate heaven!!!! We went in January just for the ice cream. Left not only with chocolates but with a feeling that we were truly appreciated by the staff. Went back last night, blooper time, and left my card at home. My info couldnt be found in the system.asked if my gentleman could get his own card, now we are both covered. Hope my card can be found in the system, lots of points already in it. Looking forward to adding more points on both cards. Thank you for a wonderful experience, every time

We came in on an expectedly busy Valentine’s Day afternoon and made a selection from the candy counter - six pieces of three items. The lady that waited on us boxed up the pieces after weighing them and had to put two of our turtles in a separate sack because the box was too small. That was not at all a problem for me. She stuck a post it note on the box with the weight and instructed me to tell the cashier it was for the whole order“Lisa”, from her name tag was the cashier. I waited in line and another cashier interrupted the line briefly a-couple of people ahead of me to ask Lisa for 1’s and 5’s for her register. Lisa waited on the next two customers, then stopped and took the time to gather the bills from her drawer just as it was our turn. Also not a problem for me. By then, the other cashier was at her register checking out customers with credit cards to Lisa piled the stack of loose cash on the counter, in this very crowded establishment, and attempted to weight it down with her Pepsi bottle that kept rolling off so she just left it loose. Then, this part is a problem for me, she began to berate the woman who packaged our candy (to us) for not individually weighing each piece separately. She stopped the line. Went into the candy area that was also crowded to the gills with customers and demanded the woman re-Weigh and re label each piece. Then Lisa came back to the register and once again started berating her coworker to my 78 year old mom and myself who just stopped in off the highway from Texas for a couple of pieces of candy. When the woman didn’t immediately weigh and label the items, Lisa went back and made another big spectacle. All the while this pile of cash from Lisa’s register was laying all over the open counter. When we finally were able to check out the weight of our items included the tare weight because they weighted them in the packaging. Having a father who had a career in the weights and measured industry I understand this. Also, Lisa was putting every single purchase in a giant sized Russell Stovers gift bag. Not my business but I saw a couple of people leave who bought one small item that would fit in the palm of their hand leave in these huge bags. She offered us one but I told her we didn’t need it.

I love Russell Stover Outlet stores. The staff are always helpful and friendly. I love the bloopers best. I dont care what they look like, I am into value and taste over eye appeal. The Nut Clusters and the Pecan Delights are two of my favorites. Was sorry to see them stop making the layered squares, and seem to focus now on cake flavors!!?? Where in the world did that come from??!! Some new corporate manager!? They are horrible!! And should have left well enough alone. Thats just MHO. Anyway, been visiting these outlet stores for years, and glad they are around!!! Thanks guys!!

CHOCOLATE what more can I say... but there was an older woman trying to share the word to others and about 3 staff members sitting down at a table MAKING FUN and LAUGHING about her.... I thought it was sweet, she even gave me and my father a Christmas card!! Im a believer and Im younger, it WAS VERY INSULTING to me and my faith, I had to bite my lip. That is a family friendly business on Christmas eve....

This place is great, if you are a candy lover this place is for you. They mainly have chocolates but they also have tons of other stuff. They have all sorts of chocolates ranging from carmel chocolates, mint chocolates, sea salt, and lots more. They also have almost every jelly belly flavor bean. And they have taffy and carmel apples. They also have ice cream and fudge. And best of all they give free samples when you walk in. They also have good deals on their past holiday treats and good buy 2 get 1 free deals. They also have some bottled drinks here, coke products in you need, they also have restrooms if you need them. The employees here are very friendly and tell you the promotions that are going on and even tell you if you have any questions let them know. This place is great and if you like chocolates this is the place for you. I personally got the root beer barrels and they are great. I also got to try some of their new milk chocolate and it was very good. The newer chocolate has a more creamy consistency, but their old chocolate is good too. I will probably go back to this place if I am ever in the area. If not Ill have to just order some stuff online that way I can get this great chocolate. Their ice cream is also worth a try because it is very good. If you are ever in the area I highly recommend stopping here for at least a quick stop so you can see what its all about.

I was in Athens seeing my brother in the hospital and on my way back to Huntsville my sister said pull over and I did when I entered the store I was greeted by a very nice young lady that gave me a treat. I went shopping and low and behold I found a lot of deals inside the store. I will be back again and again. I love this store. Hunny Im home 😘.

Review №61

I have to go to Huntsville once a month for medical reasons and even though its nearly a two hour drive, knowing we get to stop here on the way home definitely makes the trip a lot less tedious! We love this place! Its so clean and the staff are always so polite and friendly. The only reason I almost gave them four instead of five stars is because the ice cream is quite a bit more expensive than most ice cream parlors, but the other wonderful things just win over that one negative.

Review №62

The ladies at the store could not be more friendly or helpful. Entering the store we were immediately greeted and offered a free sample. One of the items I was buying was on sale which I didn’t know about until she pointed it out ... saving me around $10. Also one of the individual chocolate pkgs had a open seam exuding a little chocolate which she promptly exchanged. Folks should visit this gem of a chocoholic’s dream in Athens!

Good grief, this store has so much chocolate, its difficult to choose just one item. They have cookies, ice cream, fudge, candied apples, huge gift boxes, small, medium and large blooper boxes, Russell Stover bags, sugar free candy, jelly beans ... what did I miss?My personal favorites are the french mint, and the caramel chocolate turtles.
