A wonderful chocolate shop in historic Hannibal While…read moreexploring historic downtown Hannibal, Missouri, we decided to stop by Chocolaterie Stam. The shop is conveniently located within walking distance of many of Hannibal's attractions, making it an easy stop while we were exploring the area. If you're spending the day visiting the Mark Twain sites or strolling through downtown, it's well worth adding this to your itinerary. The first thing that struck me was how beautiful the store is. It has an old-fashioned feel that fits perfectly with the historic character of Hannibal. The candy displays inside the shop are attractive. The shop is spotless, and the entire place has a warm, inviting atmosphere that encourages you to slow down and browse the many selections in the cases and on top as well as a lot of the historic memorabilia along the walls. . Since this was our first visit, we weren't familiar with the different chocolates and specialty items they offered. Fortunately, the staff was outstanding. They were friendly, knowledgeable, and extremely patient as they answered our questions and explained the different chocolates. As we were leaving, I noticed a tour group from one of the Mississippi River cruise ships arriving at the store. That immediately told me this was one of the places visitors to Hannibal make a point of experiencing, and after tasting the chocolates, I completely understood why. The chocolates were excellent,. The prices were also very reasonable, especially considering the quality of the products and the exceptional customer service we received. Overall, this was one of our favorite stops in Hannibal. Between the charming atmosphere, outstanding staff, delicious chocolates, and reasonable prices, Chocolaterie Stam is well worth a visit. I would certainly recommend it to fellow travelers looking for a memorable treat while exploring this historic river town. Enjoy!

Such a cute shop, but a bit of a tourist trap. I bought 2 boxes of their 14-piece chocolates…read more Unfortunately the chocolates didn't live up to the hype for the price. Service was great though. I was greeted when I walked in and the guy who helped me was very kind. I'm not sure when I'll be back in the area but I'd be willing to try their gelato or other products.

He helped us find a flavor we liked by offering us samples. We ordered a peppermint bark ice-cream in a fun colored cone, pineapple strawberry sorbet in a cup, and s'mores ice-cream in a waffle cone. Everything was fresh and unique-tasting. We were told flavors change seasonally and even daily. Murphy held down the fort after his coworker left and kept everything in the store running and clean. 5 star experience!

It's set up like a bar with warm lighting and little nooks where you can sit and watch the world go by out the front window or have a private conversation in the back on a couch facing a fireplace. Can't comment on the coffee as we didn't get any. They don't advertise tea but they did have...some...in a dusty box... and most of the choices were just unidentifiable bags...but to be fair, I don't think many of their customers come looking for tea. We just stopped in on a road trip, but we'll definitely remember it for coffee next time we pass through. Service was very good.

Was in town to grab a tenderloin next door, but Milkey's was closed and didn't tell anyone on their…read moresocials, so I popped next door to 755 Hans (Barry Cafe) with the kiddos instead. Not going to lie, everything exceeded my expectations. Had the soup specials (Chili & Potato), and both were quite tasty. The chili had a bit of sweetness, and the potato soup wasn't too heavy. Got the patty melt since I probably hadn't had one in a decade, and it was also pretty good. Prices were super affordable, as expected for the area, and everyone was happy with their food. The only weird thing was the kids' homemade chicken strips. They were spicy for some reason? Feels like someone made a mistake? I enjoyed them, but they were inedible for kiddos. Curly fries went down fine, though. Servers were nice, and so were the patrons. Clean place with a TV prominently on the wall playing the local news, and the service was quick.

They are made fresh daily and they have so many varieties. You'll need to get there early to have the full selection, because the morning rush wipes them out pretty quickly. The dining room is outdated but clean. The parking can be tricky, especially when they are busy. You may have to park next door. Their parking lot is in bad shape with pot holes, puddles, and no clearly marked parking spots. Don't let that keep you from stopping by. It's worth it for the original glazed donut.
