This place will definitely bring nostalgia if you grew up going to a penny candy store.Staff was super nice and helpful.There is something for everyone. From a large sugar free selection to fully loaded sugar. Different sizes from kids to large and extra large if you get a Big Ole Drumstick as they call it.My youngest said the fudge was thick in her sundae so she knows its real. My middle child said her double chocolate milkshake was a Kid vs Food challenge for her.Will definitely go back again.

Our family loves Lazy Dog! They have a notable sized selection of vegan sweets, and their visual merchandizing is top notch. The second you step into their entryway you are transported to a simpler, happier time. It is colorful, bright, and smells delicious! If I have one want from them, it would be dairy-free ice-cream options. They do have some Italian Ice options, but a creamy Oatmilk cone would be extra lovely. Its unfortunate to see business slowing down due to the closure of Mill Street. I really wish we could easily swing by to pick up an after-school treat, but its definitely more challenging to unload all the kids a few blocks away and make the trek. I really hope they can stay in business!! And it must be noted that even in the busiest of times their customer service is always on point. This isnt to say that you wont have to wait, because sometimes you just DO have to wait, but its totally worth it, and you will have the full attention of your Chocolaterista. Definitely check it out if youre in town!

Nothing like that old style candy shop to really bring the inner kid out. Wide selection of chocolates and candies. The most awesome part about this place is the variety of ice cream, gelato, ice cream bars and ice cream sandwiches. Everything is made locally and everything is absolutely amazing. Particularly recommend the Baileys Irish cream ice cream bar

Love their big ol drumsticks (ice cream). The chocolate and ice cream is moderate quality, and prices are steep. But we enjoy it enough that we keep coming back again and again! Service is decent but could be friendlier.

Delicious chocolate this is in Grass Valley, you choose the chocolate and they put in a bag an weigh it and you pay, you pay per weigh of the bag of chocolate. This is a clean place, nice decoration. Also you can buy a chocolate box.If you love chocolate, I recommend visit this store.

They are so rude! I walked in and (most likely because Im black) got ignored at first but as I started shopping was being watched constantly like I was stealing with my dog. These people in that city need a serious lesson in multiculturalism lol. Gave me the smallest piece of candies she could find it was just a joke. Ill never go again!! I couldnt even shop because it was just a bad vibe very strange experience all together. Thanks but no thanks boo.

Candy selection includes Jelly Belly, taffy, cotton candy, chocolates, plus ice cream, gelato, and Italian ice. The store is beautifully decorated. Located in a section of street blocked off from traffic, with other great stores and restaurants.

Had a sugar cone with a split scoop of pecan ice cream and honey lavander ice cream. Life cant taste any better than that. Parking can be difficult but we got lucky and found a spot right in front of the store (parallel parking). It a nice small old downtown area, you can get your ice cream and walk around window shopping.

This is listed as a candy store, but actually, Lazy Dog is the inventor and purveyor of the greatest ice cream sandwich that is available to mankind in the modern era.This is basically the highlight of visits to Grass Valley. At this point I have tried every flavor. It used to be I came for the CBA fathers day bluegrass festival, but now I come for the ice cream sandwiches.

Went there and had a lavender ice cream. The people were very helpful and super nice and then I had the ice cream! Never had lavender ice cream before, very creamy and the flavor is not overbearing. Could not get enough of it and I cant wait to go back for more. The chocolates and truffles are exquisite! Between the service and the treats, this is my go to place. 😋😋😋

What a fun place to come. So colorful and delightful. Reminiscent of an old candy shop I used to go to as a child. The ice cream here is absolutely delicious. They have so many flavors its hard to choose. Plus they have ready-made ice cream bars and huge ice cream cones covered with chocolate and almonds. The ice cream is very reasonably priced and is made to their specifications and Sacramento.

Busy shop with everything sweet! Plenty of staff for those customized yummies. A bit pricey for everyday sweets, but they have such a great selection definitely worth the little extra splurge for convenience, or for that special someone. Gelato and Ice cream for those warm summer days. Even a couple of little tables for outdoor seating.

I am very pleased with Lazy Dog Chocolateria. They have been making specialty chocolates (shaped like feet since I am a foot doctor) for over ten years. They make great gifts. Paula and the staff have been wonderful about accommodating my sometimes last minute, large orders.

Best candy store in the County. Amazing amount of selections, most candy made in house. They also do catering and ice cream. My kids and I have our favorites and we frequent Lazy Dog any chance we get. I highly recommend them to anyone with a sweet tooth, or looking for that hard to find gift.

We wandered in when we noticed the sign at the door saying they had VEGAN strawberry coconut ice cream. Vegan ice cream at the local chocolate shop? Count us in!When we went in, they had a ton of different candies, and the chocolates looked amazing. When I inquired about any vegan chocolate options, the girl behind the counter gave us a laminated list of all the dairy-free options available (I noticed they also had one for gluten-free treats).We bought a couple of dark chocolate peanuts butter cups and also got the strawberry coconut ice cream. The ice cream was different than we were expecting--more like a sherbert--but it was still delicious. Light and refreshing with specks of strawberry throughout.This place is vegan-friendly and totally cute, so I would absolutely come back again when I find myself in town.

Went in there today hoping they were open and they were to my surprise they were but as soon as we walked in the person attending great us but then got on the phone. We were looking to see what ice cream to get and she never acknowledged us or said anything. So about waiting for 5 mins and no contact from her we decided to leave and all she said was Happy Easter. Very disappointed today with the poor service.😔

It would be hard for me to imagine not loving any chocolate shop, but this one is my favorite that I’ve been to. Decorated nicely, lots of options, plenty of friendly staff so you aren’t waiting. In the summer I go for the gelato or ice cream and winter time I go for the chocolate. I’ve never had anything I don’t like here.
