The chocolates at Cotton's are delicious and the store owner is just the nicest person - warm, friendly, professional, and just generally a joy to buy from. I only come in once or twice a year, whenever I'm visiting from the coast, but she always remembers me, even down to remembering what my favorite treats are.
I wont lie, Cotton's chocolate is expensive. But so is Purdys, and while Purdys chocolate is tasty, it also tends to have an inert, impersonal quality to it that...just doesn't feel very engaging? The treats you get at Cotton's are fresh and fun - almost a little whimsical - and for that reason I find them more of a joy to eat.
I would absolutely recommend stopping by Cotton's if you're in town and in the mood for some chocolate confectionery. read more
