They have a really good selection of chocolates, truffles, and their most famous flavor is Mint…read moreSmoothie. They offer prepackaged Mint Smoothie Ice Cream in 2 sizes. Trust me, it's worth the calories. Lol They have many flavors of chocolate truffles like peanut butter, hazelnut, almond, coconut, lemon cream, etc. and the they come in both milk chocolate and dark chocolate versions. You can also buy packaged chocolate truffles or build your own package or gift basket to your liking. It's so fun wondering around the store and checking out the gift boxes. All the customers seemed to be enjoying it. The staff are very friendly and care about providing great service.

If you are a chocolate fan (and especially MINT CHOCOLATE) you must come here!…read more Thanks to my dear friend for introducing me to Rheo this summer! The dark chocolate mint smoothie is incredible There are MANY different chocolate options here and packaged for all seasons. Making it a great place to pick up gifts all year round and for all occasions. And shout out to the old man on Brunswick (street behind the front entrance) who saw our lost and sad faces and stopped to help us find our way! The store is bright and welcoming, and it's staff is warm and friendly. Make sure to clean your hands at the door and grab a basket to save your chocolates from melting in your hands!

You know the movie Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory (think Gene Wilder, not Johnny Depp)? This…read moreplace reminds me of the opening scene where the dude in the candy store goes all nuts singing about the candyman and throwing candy at all the kids. Simply put: This. Place. Is. Awesome. All sorts of candy bars (mostly just different varieties of chocolate), interesting "homemade" candies (like peanut butter cups and nut clusters), candy dipped apples, fresh made fudge... and on and on and on. Not to mention- it's all GOOD. Except for the stuff I didn't like, but... well, someone else must like it because it's there. They also have seasonal candy. It's October now, so they have HUGE jack-o-lantern chocolate things. I imagine near Easter they also do the traditional bunny. Thanksgiving yields chocolate turkeys. I don't know why I find this fascinating, but I do. I wish I lived in Stratford just so I could come ever every holiday to get that holiday's mascot in chocolate form. I can't imagine walking in this place and not walking out with at LEAST $15 in candy. Maybe that's not much to some, but it's a lot to me... especially for just candy. Expensive? Yes... but damn well worth it. Maybe not always in size- but what they lack in quantity is more than made up for with quality... and sometimes that's even better. If you've even got the slightest hint of a sweet tooth and find yourself in Stratford, you're doing yourself a disservice by not checking this place out. You'll also miss out on seeing the dudes who make (and pack!) the fudge during the day. Oh yeah, I went there. Really though... Go. NOW.

An absolute gem of a small business, with delicious gelato and friendly service. A must-visit spot…read moreon any trip to Stratford.

The owner, Angela, was very friendly and made my gelato look pretty. I got the chocolate hazelnut gelato, which was vegan! I'm lactose intolerant so I was super happy to be able to choose from 3 vegan flavours. One of my friends got a lemonade as well. It was super fresh - she squeezed the lemons on the spot! Highly recommend if you are in the area looking for a sweet treat.

My friend really want to go to a "Pig" farm to see some real pigs... Berkshire, Tamworth, Ironage…read moreduring our Day Trip to Perth County area. Sadly farm tours to Perth Pork Products does needs to be pre arranged so ended up we came to The Best Little Pork Shoppe to see Percy. At The Beat Litte Pork Shoppe, you can get all sort of "pork" produces: sausage, peameal, ribs, bacon and more. They also have steak, chicken, dessert, baked goods and condiments. Remember to bring a cooler as you would end up picking up something which is perfect during bbq season. And of course taking a "touristy" photo seems a touristy thing for out of towners like us!

We have gone to the Best Little Pork Shop under various owners since the late 1990s. Not much…read morerecently, but finally went back, as they used to sell a steak condiment called "steak splash", a garlic-based seasoning. The man at the counter, I believe an owner, laughed in my face when I asked if they still carried it. "Laughing - what? Never heard of any such thing!" still laughing. Okay, apparently I'm an idiot for asking for a southern Ontario produced produce available at their competition down Hwy 8. Never again.

So glad that this lovely place is back! Before Covid we came every time we were in the area. We had…read morea tasty sandwiches, fresh scones and selection of yummy pastries.

Harry Ten Shilling is a cozy gift shop and tearoom located near the center of Shakespeare on Hwy 8…read morebetween Stratford and Kitchener. The front portion houses the gift shop with ice cream (Chapman's) & bake shop counter and the tearoom is in the back section of the building. This is a seasonal business open May-October, Wed-Sat 11am-4pm. Recently, I stopped by Harry Ten Shilling for afternoon tea on my road trip. I headed to the back (watch your step) into the quaint tearoom which has table seating with comfortable pillow seats and wooden chairs and counter seating with high wooden chairs. For food, they offer salads, soup du jour, baked French onion soup, quiche, chicken pot pie, mac n' cheese, fish & chips, specials (steak frites) and baked goods. A decent selection of black teas, green & rooibos, and herbal tisanes is offered. Tea time selections served with an individual pot of tea, starting at $13 pp. I decided on the Soup & Cream Tea ($16) soup du jour served with two scones, jam & devon cream. The pot of hot tea (I chose Rhubarb Cream) brought out first, which was a much needed hot caffeinated drink, especially after driving for a couple hours. The tray of food arrived 10 minutes afterwards, which had a hot bowl of party vegetable noodle soup (healthy and very good), 2 firm scones (including blueberry), fresh fruit & berries, cherry, cream and raspberry jam. The food was delicious and scones were firm, not too crumbly, and not too sweet tasting. After I finished my food and small pot of hot tea, I was given the bill, which came out to $18.08 before tip. The service was adequate and prompt.
