Although a very small shop, this is THE place to go for signature Ben Heggy's chocolates in central Ohio. My latest visit was made pleasant by a wonderful salesperson, in her 20's, I'd guess. Very friendly and helpful, so I'll be back!

We love Krema and miss it being so close to our place. We had the hardest time finding good peanut butter in NYC and reached out to our Columbus Fave- Krema for a case of creamy peanut butter, delicious snack mixes and treats. Some personal favorites are chocolate and yogurt covered pretzels, caramel corn, trail mix and buckeye crunch. You must check this place out if in Columbus!!

Reviewed By kimbaruss - Columbus, United States
I love winding around in this book store, looking at anything that catches my eye, I love the built in shelves, the CD's playing in many of the rooms, and the wonderful helpful people that work there. There are tables of marked down books out front, Lots of author autographed copies throughout the store, & if you can't find what you're looking for they will order it right away.When I order online I always order through the book loft instead of Amazon so I can support a great independent book store.
