Located in Manchester VT a very homey little candy shop…read more You walk into this place in Manchester and just kinda think...why does this store fit perfectly for where I am at at this moment? It's truly a pleasant little store. The lady seemed a little weirded out when my brother and I first walked in. We were in Manchester for the night, on our way back to NY from a week in Maine. She looked at us like....hmm I dunno, don't wanna say anything mean bc she wasn't mean lol, she just looked at us ... weirdly lol. Not sure how else to put it. As our visit went on she ended up being very nice. I just hope she didn't think we were in there to like...steal a couple pieces of candy hahaha. I mean, we aren't 10 years old anymore lol. She then went on to tell us about the store and how all the candy is made there (pretty sure that's what she said). I just remember thinking....how wonderful that this stuff isn't imported from places like...ugh China! They have everything! Every possible kind of candy you can imagine...she has it. She gave us a free sample and it was amazing! There are few great candy shoppes in Manchester. This one is definitely one of them. Prices are a little...high. Just a heads up if you go here. Couple things to consider as to why tho... 1) it's Manchester VT. It's a very bougie little town. Only makes sense most things are pricey there 2) privately owned 3) candy is made on site 4) it's Manchester Vermont lol Should this stop you from going? Absolutely not. Even if you're just in to look...it's worth it. Really a cute store. I hope to return to it one day. Living in Idaho, I rarely make it to Vermont lol. BUT IF I DO! I will for sure head back into Mother Myricks! Thanks for reading, YelperMyrickers! Cheers!

From Mother Myrick's in Manchester, VT, we bought a few chocolate-covered orange peels,…read morechocolate-dipped apricots, along with a box of toffee covered with milk chocolate and ground almonds. I also bought a peach-raspberry muffin and a blueberry muffin. The muffins looked great but were without ANY flavor. Downright awful, not sure what that was about, but the chocolates were very good. I don't think they were quite as good as Lake Champlain chocolates, but they were a close second. I always appreciate the freshness factor (in addition to flavor), so it mattered that the orange peel and apricots were very fresh. If we are ever in the area, I'd come back here for sure, but I'd stick with the chocolates only. No more baked goods !

We were on vacation staying in Arlington, and decided to give Willoughby's a try. I'm so glad we…read moredid! The lady at the counter was very sweet to us, (two different ladies on two different visits actually). The first time we ordered two egg and cheese sandwiches. Mine was on a bagel, and literally it was the best bagel (also i have lived in NYC for years so I know a good bagel). It was so super soft on the inside and the outside was perfect. I highly recommend. We also had two maple donuts which were also so good and very filled with filling, It was so good we decided to go back the next day and eat breakfast there. Again I had the amazing bagel breakfast sandwich and we shared a ginormous cinnamon roll that was super tasty. It's small and cute and had great food. The pricing was great too. I love supporting local when I travel. I would definitely recommend!

We came by early afternoon and the nice lady at the counter asked my kids what was their favorite flavor.

This is a very cute shop with great food. They have a nice selection of items and a wonderful deli…read more The downside is that there is a very real "no soup for you" attitude. Not all of the staff are nasty, but the majority are not courteous or helpful. It's also very pricey: expect to spend a good amount for basic items. And whatever you do: do not take anyone with you who is under the age of 16. I'm serious. It doesn't matter if the children are perfectly behaved: there is just a general "child catcher" attitude. You may also want to avoid the Lunch hour if you are not ordering food because you will literally be told to wait to pay until those getting sandwiches or deli items have gone through the line. So, go alone either first thing in the morning or late in the afternoon and take your platinum Amex.

The sandwiches were hot, packed, fresh, and flavorful. They came with seasoned crispy chips that made the perfect side. There were also a ton of desserts to choose from that all looked fantastic- we decided on the pumpkin cheesecake. The pumpkin on top was made of pumpkin-flavored frosting which I thought was a cute extra touch. The cheesecake itself had great texture. I wish it had more of the cream cheese frosting and I wish it was a little less pumpkin spice tasting versus just pumpkin. Overall a very cute place everyone should check out!

Their storefront is charming and cheerful New England theme. + The Dorset Union Store stocks mostly food items including produce and baked goods. The DUS is well stocked with a deli in the back and a wine section that any city dweller would be satisfied with. DUS carries many VT products and they even had maple cotton candy :-)) when I visited in September 2022. = Price is on the higher side even for VT but not unusual for the area. ++ Service is quite good and the staff is friendly! + Parking is street, free and ample. DUS is not for your weekly grocery shopping but it is a convenient stop for a pick me up, hostess gifts and a weekend sustenance in NE.
