A fun place to visit in Meredith, New Hampshire. Lots of candy, chocolates, fudge to choose from…read more To be honest, if I wasn't full from lunch, I would have bought some goodies. The fudge seemed a bit over priced though, 24.99 a pound . But looked like lots to choose from. Worth the trip to come even if it's just window shopping. It's fun and pleasant.

Don't miss trying the "Ruby" chocolate. Also lots of led-time soda. The staff is so friendly and helpful. Answered all our questions. There wsa a group of school children on a field trip who came into the store. The Lee's people were so patient with them.

The selection is unreal: everything from packaged goodies to by-the-pound candy, truffles (with and without alcohol), fruit slices, even Dubai chocolate (which they let us sample--amazing!). Prices per pound can't be beat anywhere around here. The truffles were next-level--my personal favorite was the PB fluff. Seriously so good. If you're heading to Funspot, definitely make this a stop, with or without kids. This place should be on every family's list when visiting the area. We loved it, loved them, and will definitely be back!

This cozy novelty shop is a little piece of fudge heaven on earth! We stayed up at Steele Hill for…read morethe weekend and passed this little shop a couple times during our stay and I knew I had to stop in before we went back home. So glad we did! The fudge is to die for and they have so many different flavors to choose from. The shop also sells NH and NH made novelty items... maple syrup, tea, soy candles, chocolates, T-shirt's, sweaters, mugs, body scrubs, popcorn, etc. Although you have lots to choose from and the fudge is amazing... the best part is the warm and friendly service we received even before getting out of our car. The owner was extremely warm and helpful... and customer service is number one in my book! He mentions he will be expanding services even more in the months to come. And I can't wait to be back to have some tea while getting a foot massage and eating some fudge! If you're in the area, passing by, or even if you're not in the area... add this little hidden gem to your list of stops to make. You won't regret it!

The previous reviewer (Angela S.) really nailed it. Granite Life is great! We were on a mission…read morefrom my grandmother to find a rock. She's very picky--you'd think that a rock wouldn't be hard to find in the Granite State, but she had stipulations. Plus, it had just snowed about 3 feet, so any rocks that might around sure weren't visible. So, we called around to a few places to ask about rocks. We got a lot of puzzled looks (through the phone), until we reached George. He said, "Well... sure we have rocks. Are you staying Steele Hill Resort?" We were. "Okay, come by tomorrow, and I'll have a couple rocks for you." So, we went. The shop was clearly closed for the winter season, but we called George and he can down from his home (on the same property) and gave us a selection of rocks from the boundary wall of his property. We tried to give him some money, but he refused. We told him thanks and that we would have to come back sometime to check out his shop. He asked if we wanted to check out the candy, and we said, okay, if not too much trouble. Nothing was too much trouble for George. He opened up the shop, told us about how it was a labor of love for him and his family, lots of local goods, including maple syrup from the farm up the street. And fudge, all sorts of different, delicious fudge. They also had plenty of novelty gifts, hand-screened sweatshirts and t-shirts, and a little coffee nook overlooking the fields and lake in the distance (can't remember if we could see the lake--but it was there!). Needless to say, we couldn't help ourselves from picking up a few souvenirs and happily supporting a local business and businessman who obviously cared about his customers and how he treats them. We can't say enough nice things about Granite Life--friendly, convenient if you're in the area, wide selection of souvenirs with local flare, and just a generally good vibe to take home with you. Highly, highly recommended. Oh, and Gramma liked the rock--not too flashy, but she loved the story and the history of it. Mostly, she liked that we made the effort to find what she wanted--thanks, George.

This place is hands down the coolest spot in Laconia and a total hidden gem!…read moreIf you walk in off Main Street, it looks like an adorable, retro candy shop. They have a great selection of nostalgic sweets! But the real magic happens if you know where to look. I won't spoil the whole surprise, but let's just say you should take a closer look at the vintage Coca-Cola machine in the back... Once you get inside the "secret" area, the vibe completely changes. It's a full speakeasy with incredible atmosphere and amazing cocktails. We ordered a round of drinks including the Espresso Martini, Cosmopolitan, The Peach Ring, and The Yeti. Every single one was spot on--perfectly balanced and strong. For food, you absolutely have to get the "Bees Knees Burner." It's a homemade hot honey feta dip made with Greek yogurt, red pepper flakes, and sweet honey. It was served with warm naan/ bread and fresh veggies, and the balance of sweet and spicy was incredible. Whether you are looking for a fun stop with the family for candy or a unique night out for drinks and apps, this place hits the mark. We own a rental property nearby in Gilford and will definitely be telling all our guests to check this place out!
