The Granada Cafe is located downtown and has been open right around a year now and it is a tiny, tiny little room, with a couple of tables and an even smaller bar-like counter. You can see right into the little "kitchen", which I think they only make coffees back there and heat some items up, if need be. They have a little chalkboard outside the door, that has just a few items on it, and today it was a couple of soups and daily-made cupcakes. The cupcakes are made by a girl named Amy, and she makes them at home and then brings them into the store to sell. Today she had lavender cream cupcakes and chocolate merlot cupcakes. They were pretty good! Mom really liked the lavender one and the chocolate one was my favorite.
Powell's Sweet Shoppe is located in a newer, built-up part of downtown San Luis Obispo. A few years ago, an old parking lot was renovated into a bunch of little shops and restaurants, and this place was added to the mix. This candy store is awesome! It's almost overwhelming because there is SO much to look at and take in, with all of the yummy smells and bright colors, but if you take your time and stroll around slowly, it's a lot of fun.
In the middle of the store, there are a few different bars with a bunch of goodies in them. All of the separate chocolates, truffles, and specialty candies are at a couple of the bars, and then there is the ice cream/gelato bar. Delightful!!
They have a whole wall of nothing but bulk candy, that you can mix and match and go crazy with!
There is also the most ginormous collection of PEZ dispensers I have ever seen!
And one of the coolest parts of this store: you can sit and watch Charlie and the Chocolate Factory all day long, while enjoying your favorite movie candy!
