I ended up ordering the Chicken and Vegetable Samosas. I have tried Samosas before, but the spices are too strong for me. I'm trying to evolve my taste buds, so I decided to try them again. The Samosas had a crunch to them and a strong flavor. The vegetables and chicken inside were delicious, but the seasoning for me took over. I gave this place a three based on my taste buds and getting used to another cuisine. I know others who love Samosas and eat them several times a week. The convenience store also sells other foods besides what I ordered, and the customer service was friendly.

Fascia's Chocolates is a family-owned chocolaterie that opened in Waterbury, Connecticut in 1964…read more It was founded by husband and wife John & Helen Fascia. An electronic technician by trade, John worked for the Bristol Company. He began to roast nuts and sold them at work to supplement the young family's income. In an effort to increase sales, he and Helen began making chocolates in their basement. In addition to chocolate nut clusters, they soon began to make caramels, toffee and creams. The chocolates became so popular that soon the Fascia's basement operation couldn't keep up with the supply and demand. By 1978, they opened their first retail store on Meriden Road. Two years later, John quit his job so he could make chocolate full time. John and & Helen were soon joined by their three young daughters Louise, Lynne and Laurie. In 1985, the business moved to an expanded storefront on Wolcott Street. As business continued to grow, the business would relocate to Lakewood Road in 1990, Thomaston Avenue in 2008, and finally to Chase River Road in 2013. The Fascia Family still runs the business, although John & Helen are now semi-retired. My family and I recently visited Fascia's Chocolates to attend a special "Chocolate Experience". We were escorted into a small room with other attending families. There we were greeted by Company President Carmen Romeo, who happens to be married to Louise Fascia. He quickly informed us, "I may be the President, but my wife and her sister are the real bosses." He gave us all a presentation where he discussed the history of the company as well as chocolate production in general. He gave all attendees samples of the three main types of chocolate (Dark, Milk & White) and discussed the differences. Afterwards, all children were able to make their own chocolate bar with their choice of toppings. My sons both picked rice cereal and Fruity Pebbles. We also got to take a look at what happens in the production area. After the experience, we all went into the retail shop and explored all of the delicious chocolates that Fascia's produces. While I distracted my sons, my wife discreetly purchased some chocolate coins for St. Patrick's Day and chocolate bunnies for Easter. We all had a great experience at Fascia's Chocolates and hope to enjoy their delicious chocolate again!

The staff brought us to the back room where they go over the history of Fascia's chocolates, the different types and percentages of chocolate as well as other delicacies they make in their stores. We were even able to watch them make other candies live while we made our own. We made a chocolate bar with melted chocolate, decorated it with our candy selection and were able to bring it home. Definitely worth the time and price to learn a little history and take home a sweet treat!

On Main Street in Middletown you'll come across a tiny Chocolatier called Tschudin Chocolates. This…read moreis owned by chocolate chef Roberto Tschudin. Rob is a man of MANY skills and talents, he's also very personable and welcoming. His chocolates look like little art figurines, from the colors to the interesting designs. Since my dad loves any gift that comes in a form of chocolate, I thought it was a perfect reason to get him something from Tschudin. I told Rob to select me six of his best sellers of dark chocolate. He did, I can't say what I got, but the one I personally had was the peanut butter. The peanut butter was creamy, and whipped, the slight bitterness of the dark chocolate was the perfect pairing, so tasty! My dad loved his gift, I think if he knew these were a bit pricier he wouldn't have had them in one sitting. If you're looking to treat your self to some chocolate or give some as a gift, please stop by Tschudin.

High quality chocolatier, doing his own thing…read more Came here initially on a whim, seeing the owner walking outside with the big white hat and chef whites. We were greeted with a mostly empty display with lots of stuff everywhere. We did manage to get a small group of treats at a fairly high price point, but the attention to detail and quality of the chocolates produced were at levels typically not seen in Connecticut or even around the US. Ever since that first meeting, we try to make the trek here to get a few delectable treats to savor once in a while. The owner is very relaxed and uses his place as a ramshackle display of personality and skill. It's not prim and polished, but there's a few pieces usually on display, a subtle sweet smell in the air, and many interesting flavors and fillings of truffles dotting the display cases. Like a master tailor, this place is known by those who know. They look past the grit and enjoy the true gem. It's really good chocolate, pricy but worth it, and worth a trek.

I remember reviewing this location on its Yelp page for this location last year. Was that page a duplicate page? Maybe I need to check my past reviews and see. But given my 5-star review here, I stand by anything I said about this location last year. I absolutely LOVE coming here for a refreshing drink on a hot day! I always encounter nice staff here, and while small is consistently clean. I've sometimes used their drive-thru, and it's been an easy process every time with my order always being quick and efficient. Today's occasion ordering their Blue Hawaiian with electrolytes was no different. It hit the spot and was an excellent pick-me-up after my flight back home last night. So yeah, no matter what page this is on, I will keep coming here. It's always worth the walk and/or drive.

The space was also nicely decorated, and there was a good amount of seating. It was pretty full though mid morning on a week day, so just be prepared.
