Enstrom Candies

Very nice employees, always willing to help show you what is available any time you come in and want to purchase some chocolate treats for either yourself or someone else. They had a little kiosk in Park Meadows Mall during the holidays too.

These fuckers lie about their hours. They say they are open until 7 p.m. I got here at 4, and they shut the door in my face. I took off work and drove a long way to get here. Never again. Fuck you.

I was thinking of a special gift for a new family member. I wanted something that was uniquely Colorado and immediately thought of Enstrom. The staff were friendly helping me navigate to the store and during my shopping. It was hard not to want to buy everything, but my special dietary needs limited me. I would say I loved everything, but the sugar free toffee just doesn’t have the same texture as the regular stuff. Next time I need a toffee fix, I will just have to buy a small piece of the full sugar original and be satisfied with that. The other sugar free offerings were delicious!

Denver, Colorado– They are the best chocolatier in Colorado and one taste will demonstrate how they have earned that title. The staff are friendly and helpful, the store clean, and the product exceptional.

I went into Enstroms to pick up a donation that Enstroms is making to Jeffco 4-​H. I moved to CO from VA a few months ago, so I wasn’t familiar with the candy. I bought a small box of the Almond Toffee to try. Goodness, it is amazing! Enstroms donated a two pound box to the Jeffco 4-​H raffle. I know what I’ll be bidding on!

Pure Candy Porn! Where has this place been all my life. I am now ashamed of every home made batch of Toffee that I patiently monitored a candy thermometer over. Get some! I mean now.
***Update: Woke up this morning and reached into the box to grab a Toffee petite, fingers returned with nothing but almond crumbs. Egads! I must have been eating this in my sleep. If you value your soul, run away now. You’ve been warned.

Worst candy store in Denver. I have too often gotten stale candies at exorbitant prices. They charge per piece, which makes it an astounding $ 21 per pound. The only possibly good choice is the toffee; don’t waste your time on the other chocolates. Bland and tasteless compared to the wonderful candy store that rhymes with peas.

Needed to pick up a gift and were wandering around the Cherry Creek area, so stopped on by.
Was super surprised to see that it had a pretty substantially sized café space with computers, tables, and there were people studying/​working about.
There was a good selection of boxed chocolates and other packaged goods, but oddly enough very few *larger* gift baskets and they had a pretty limited variety ($ 40 or so). We ended up buying a couple of different 1lb boxes for the gift.
I also ended up leaving with a scoop of DELICIOUS pistashio ice cream… I definitely wouldn’t have known they sold ice cream before walking in, so a pleasant surprise.
Great friendly service, and a local small business we’re happy to support.

We stopped in after the zoo on our way home and had the most amazing lavender ice cream. It was delish. If i lived closer, id be in trouble. They had amazing chocolates as well and only took home a couple of them. Id return for that ice cream for sure.

Their ice cream was good. Their candy selection was poor. I was not spoken to by a single person working there. They actually sat on the computer and read their Unilocal reviews while I stood and waited for help.

This was my first time visiting Enstrom’s and I was really underwhelmed. I came in with a friend and we were not greeted at all. The staff were all gathered behind the counter and chatting up about their personal lives.
We browsed the candy section before heading over to the ice cream. I got a scoop of Coffee Ice Cream, and it was all right. It wasn’t too flavorful, nothing to write home about. I probably could have gotten something better prepackaged at King Soopers.
The staff were all gathered over at one of the computers reading and mocking negative Unilocal reviews, somehow amazed that someone could say they didn’t have good customer service (while blatantly ignoring the customers in the room…). Then, an older woman came in and they all propped up and gave her the best of service while we were still being ignored.
I’m not really spiffed by the customer service, I just think it’s comical that they were mocking negative Unilocal reviews while on the clock in front of customers.

The chocolate really is the very best,
but the customer service I’ve received here really is SLOW! Not that I’m looking for fast food service, I’m really not. The sales girls are always chatting up one another and getting to know one another better, instead of making the customers a priority.
The iced coffee is very average. I get an iced coffee every time I get my nails done upstairs.
They always have the most amazing free samples of chocolates– To Die For Yummy!
If the management took their customer service more seriously I’d definitely give this place 5 stars.

Addicting! The toffee that is. I have yet to try the turtles because those have been sold out both times I’ve been to the store, which is my fault because I’ve only been to the store in mid to late December. You can order on-​line too, but because I’m lucky enough to live in Denver, I’ve never gone the on-​line ordering route.
The toffee comes in either a sheet that you break up yourself (the regular toffee) or in squares (petites). I prefer the sheet because there’s a more even toffee to chocolate ratio, but if you like more chocolate than toffee, then the squares are the way to go. You can sample the sheet toffee at the store. And you can choose between milk and dark chocolate. I wish that boxes came with half of each.
The toffee needs to be refrigerated or frozen, but survives a plane ride without a problem and is a delicious Colorado gift to give.
Pricey, but so worth it.

4 star rating for the chocolate! All of their chocolate is delectable, especially the toffee and dark chocolate cherry cordials!
2 star rating for the piss-​poor service. I’m a frequent patron of this store and nine times out of ten the employees never crack a smile and look like they hate life. When I ask them to pack a mixed box of chocolates for me, I practically get the «stink eye» from them because apparently it’s such an inconvenience for them!

Enstrom’s is a great neighborhood candy and ice cream store. Their toffee is their most known item, and for good reason. If you like butter, sugar and chocolate, go on a diet for about 6 months before swinging in here. They have wonderful seasonal ice cream flavors and a wide selection of other chocolates, truffles, etc. Aside from their skills at producing excellent sweets, word on the street is that they are a nice family.

When the word «toffee» comes up in the course of everyday conversation (as well it SHOULD), most people tend to think of the kind that yoinks out your fillings as you chew it.
Enstrom’s almond toffee is a world away from the jaw-​cramp-​inducing toffees or the brittle toffees that threaten to cut your gums as you try to eat them. This toffee is the melt-​in-​your mouth variety, with buttery, caramelly, chocolately drool-​inducing flavor. Oh, and they’ve been making it for about 80 years. They know that once you have a good recipe, you don’t frack with it.
I have a serious sweet-​tooth, so it’s good that Enstrom’s is about a 25 minute drive away and not, say, down the block. Because then I’d weigh 300 pounds just from dropping by every day to nosh on the free samples.
The customer service here has always been helpful and cheery. Since I’m such a toffee junkie, I haven’t tried their other confections. I stick to what I like. And what I like is toffee.
I bought a ½ pound box for our Thanksgiving hostess in Longmont and was instantly elevated to «best guest ever» status.
Did I mention that they sell all this deliciousness online? Better to stop into the store in person if you can. Otherwise you can’t have access to those free samples I mentioned above.
Oh, and I noticed that they set up a kiosk on the second floor of the Park Meadows Mall for the holidays. Don’t delay. They’ve even gift wrapped boxes for you!!!

Review is on ice cream only. I repeat — ice cream only… well and the service at this particular location.
I walked in yesterday to 4 employees who stared at me blankly without a greeting then continued to talk amongst themselves. I should have turned back then but I was intrigued by the Palisade Peach ice cream sign out front.
I walked all the way to the back and and was perusing the selection when the young girl working waited impatiently I ordered 1 scoop of peach to go and was deciding on a second when she told her coworker to ring me up. Apparently the peach was at its end because she was digging down all the way to the bottom with her ponytail dangling almost in it. The carton was then thrown out. I also ordered a scoop of strawberry and again the ponytail was over the shoulder dangling above the ice cream.
I was given the the ice cream with no tops and had to ask for them. I paid and the coworker placed my change on the counter and the young girl then placed my spoons on top of it. All in all not great customer service and I would recommend that hair should be pinned up for sanitary reasons.
So how did it taste? Meh. (I love this word). The peach was the dregs on the bottom and not the flavor expected — it was not a very strong peach and it had an almost icy, sorbet density to it. The strawberry had much more flavor and was OK but again a slightly weird texture to it. With so many ice cream shops in the area I will stick to getting it somewhere else. (Just under $ 6 for 2 single scoops).
All that said I completely agree that the almond toffee is absolutely amazing and I will definitely purchase it in the future. Perhaps I went on an off day for customer service…

Delicious! I am not a big candy person and I don’t really like toffee either :-D But Enstrom’s redefines toffee ~~~ It’s amazing. I visit Denver occasionally, and I’ll always stop in if possible, and I look forward to the times when my friends in Denver sends me some.
Customer service is also pretty and their coffee’s not bad.
Look for their free toffee samples above the candy case! :)

I also can’t believe I’m only the second to review! This place is genius. I don’t know how my family knows about their amazing almond toffee, but we do, and it’s aaaaaaaaaaaaamazing! Perfect gift to order to give as gifts for the holidays, to present to guests at home, or to just munch on yourself.
Perfection in candy making.

I can’t believe I’m the first to review — this place has been putting out this amazing product for more than 50 years.
When I was just out of college and moved to Denver to work for Ma Bell, during the holidays the Telephone Pioneers would do fund raising for charities by selling Enstrom’s toffee. I immediately got hooked on the best Almond Toffee on the planet and it would not be the Thanksgiving/​Christmas holidays without a box in the house. I have to ration it carefully though because left to my own devices I think I could easily have a Man vs. Food episode named for me.
It’s all made in a little shop in Grand Junction but, now, thank God, they have a couple of shops in the Denver area — one in Cherry Creek North and one in Arvada. But, you can order it from their website, as well, and I frequently send only my VERY best friends a box as a special gift. I usually keep a few boxes in the freezer (it freezes very well) to take as a hostess gift to holiday parties. The stores stock a wide range of other diabolically good sweets but for me, it’s all about the toffee.
Words really cannot describe this stuff. It’s like crunchy almond filled BUTTER (I’m using Meryl Streep’s Julia Child inflection as I type this) with a chocolate and almond crumb coating. I don’t even like candy but this is the stuff of dreams with happy endings. Don’t take my word for it — check it out. Take some money though ($ 20 a pound) — dreams like this aren’t cheap.
