we walked in and were amazed at the selection of Chocolate and learning that they are hand made and many take 3 days to complete, we bought several and they were very good and as being a member of chocoholics Anonymous, joking, but a chocolate lover this was a perfect place to shop

Reviewed By edruthusa - Bakersfield, United States
A serious photographer may worry that they will get shipped a lens that has been rented out or a returned product with a defect but the lens I ordered ($1500 by the way) was perfect in every way. I will do business with Samy's again. I was in the store in Santa Barbara once and had a long and very enjoyable conservation with an employee. Great place to visit and equally go to order online. Five stars!!!!!
