Sweet Charlie's

So good!
These chocolate-covered strawberries from Sweet Charlie’s are seriously addicting. The strawberries are super fresh and the warm, rich chocolate is perfection. We ended up going back three times during our vacation. 🍓🍫❤️

My son wanted to try the Dubai chocolate covered strawberries. We went on a Sunday and they were supposed to open at 12 o’clock. We sat and waited and at 11:59 is when two workers showed up to open the shop. I told my son we would give them a few minutes so that they could get things ready and at 12:10 we walked into the shop. The guy behind the counter didn’t even acknowledge us and just kept cleaning everything and didn’t take our order. After another five minutes, he finally asked us what we wanted, and we told him the Dubai chocolate covered strawberries. He told me I had to wait, and once the second man walked back inside the store he explained to him what we wanted. The second man then proceeded to tell us that the chocolate wouldn’t be ready for two hours and we would need to come back. We were getting ready to leave vacation and drive five hours home so I didn’t wanna wait another two hours. Seeing as how this is a business and operate selling specific items, I don’t see how it’s feasible to open. Your door is literally one minute before you open time and not even have the things that are on your menu ready to go. To tell someone they’d have to come back in two hours to get an item rather than have it ready for them is ridiculous. As much as I would love to try this when I go back down again on vacation I don’t think I’ll be stopping at the store.

The ice cream, ingredients, and toppings were fresh, but the man working was absolutely rude and condescending.

He initially explained the process of how the ice cream rolls are made, and when we asked about how the toppings and mix-ins worked, he was very snippy and kept telling us “later.” When it came time for the toppings, we tried to get strawberries, bananas, almonds, and chocolate sauce on one of our cups and that’s when he said “only three toppings.”

It was great the shop is open in the off season (April), but I can’t even imagine how this shop would treat the tourists during the summer. We seemed to have been their first customers of the day too, so you’d think they’d be appreciative of our business.
