    We were on vacation and visited this location because we were nearby to see the tallest filing cabinet. The space itself is beautiful, but I wasn't particularly fond of the chocolate. If you're short on time, I'd recommend skipping this stop. However, if you're interested in trying their chocolate, you can find it in some local stores.

    This is a chocolate lovers paradise! Upon opening the door, you must walk up a ramp to enter into a gorgeous chocolate shop. It is cozy and inviting inside with many chocolate options, such as spicy cayenne chocolate bars and truffles shaped and named after iconic Vermont scenes. As expected, there is maple syrup, as well as Lake Champlain merchandise. The items are pricey here, but wonderful atmosphere and delicious chocolate are worth it!

    This is a cute store when you're driving around Burlington in Waterbury Center on Route 200. They sell chocolates, ice cream, souvenirs, and hot chocolate. There's a lot of parking and you can sit inside. Service was good. Their hot chocolate is good.

    Delicious chocolates, so many varieties to choose from. Chocolate bars, with milk chocolate and different levels of Dark chocolate. Peanut butter, caramel, toffee, maple and all kinds of great flavors and fillings. Specialty candies like toffee crunch! Expensive but delicious. In the back was coffee! If you try one thing, try the Vermont Maple Latte.... amazing. The employees were all very nice and did a great job with our large group.

    Stopped in to try the chocolates. They had a sample, which was tasty. The chocolates were expensive, but I couldn't resist getting a few peanut butter cups. YUM! I'd love to have more.

    "How do I love thee? Let me count the ways..." As we now know, Elisabeth Barrett Browning did not experience Lake Champlain chocolates prior to whomever she wrote her famous amorous poem to. Her loss Anyway You're welcome. xoxo ** Made explicitly in Vermont ** **You can purchase these morsels online. Caution** **Souvenirs available for purchase** **Masks are worn by the entire staff indoors**

    The apple cider caramel was a solid favorite of ours!

    Delicious chocolate and friendly staff. We heard about a factory tour, but it was actually more of a seated presentation. As said, the chocolate is great but I found some items a little overpriced.

    This is a great place. Lots of delicious chocolates...single pieces, bars, baggies, holiday themed. You name it and they have it. They have organic chocolates. They serve coffee and other hot drinks. There were free samples around the shop too.

    They destroyed Laughing Moon chocolates in Stowe and replaced it with their subpar offerings. Such a loss and disappointment.

I love that they're socially conscious and really care about social justice and the environment. - They compost.* My pup discovered this after we emerged from a trail next to the back of the bakery. She found all this very scientifically interesting. - They serve in house with reusable metal utensils and plates, which you return to the counter. - They're committed to sourcing organic, sustainably produced flour from a few family-run farms. - Takeout containers (and I feel awful when having to use these at times) are waxed cardboard -- maybe professionally compostable or recyclable, but I suspect not. Still, better than plastic. Eat in if you can. Someday I'll remember to bring my own containers and see if they'll use them. The bread is world class. We've probably tried almost every loaf at this point. They tend towards being traditional styles with robust crusts and a good, slow, cold rise -- breads that take time to make. Our preferences lean towards the sourdoughs, the miche-type loaves, anything with olives, and the potato breads (for those of us with old teeth or missing baby teeth). But everything you could possibly order will be amazing. We loved the beautiful pain d'epi most recently, though the 10 year old (who doesn't have a full set of chompers right now) found it tough to consume without a good dip in Mom's stew at the end of the day. The only version my family cited as more beloved was from Maison Kayser -- yes, a chain, but a very good one where my kiddos literally cut their teeth. Pastries are shockingly good as well, particularly the laminated ones that someone must be getting up at 2 or 3 a.m. to prepare. Chocolate croissants and almond croissants are perfectly layered, generously filled with high quality chocolate (real chocolate, not Nutella!) or almond paste filling that is even good when cold. The "simplest" of pastries (not really at all simple for anyone's whose tried to make these), a plain croissant, will wow a purist. My kiddos love the perfectly frosted maple bun visit after visit. Savory pastries are often filled with beautifully caramelized / browned onions, cheese, and other ingredients depending on the whims of the chefs. Again, I don't think you can go wrong; we certainly never have. There are decent sandwiches and salads on the menu (from the perspective of the spoiled). Nothing is groundbreaking, but they're 200% competent and ingredients are consistently excellent. A recent Harvest Salad, for instance, included fresh and tender butter lettuce, winter squash roasted to tender perfection, nuts and dried fruit in perfect balance. We'd had about 10 different "harvest salads", in the past few weeks in VT at that point, but though this one was more simply designed than many, it was more delicious, given the impeccably fresh, high quality ingredients. We sometimes get here on the earlier side, but never seem able to score a breakfast sandwich, which seems to sell out fast. We like the down-to-earth staff, who smile when they mean it and don't when they don't -- and show fatigue when they need to and ought. I love that the management appears to be humane, opening later than usual when an ice storm makes driving conditions perilous. We recognize some staff members from some years past and we like the continuity a lot. Love the entire picture. All of it. * I just read that all VT households and businesses are required to compost per a state law passed in 2020. Cool! Red Hen seems to have a great sorting system set up, though, with many neat, well maintained bins lined up out back.

    I've been a huge fan of Red Hen for years. If I could live on their baguettes alone, I would. I…read morehadn't been to the cafe in several years, but found myself close today so I stopped in for a to-go sandwich. It's always been busy when I've gone, but wait times aren't very long and the staff is pleasant. Needless to say, I got home and inhaled my turkey on a baguette. The only thing I think is a little bit of a bummer is the lack of more "traditional" topping options. I like my sandwiches with lettuce, tomato, and onion. The cafe does not offer tomatoes and only has pickled onions. Would be nice to have a little more choice when building your own sandwich. That said, I'm still a big fan and would get food from there again in a heartbeat.

    Prohibition Pig is a BBQ restaurant and brewpub that opened in Waterbury, Vermont in March 2012. It…read morewas founded by Chad Rich. About 20 years earlier, he had his first taste of Belgian beer and fell in love with craft beer culture. By 2009, he had an idea to open a restaurant that would marry his love of craft beer and cocktails with good local food. When Tropical Storm Irene hit Waterbury in summer 2011, it caused massive flood damage to the original location of The Alchemist Brewery. When the brewery moved out, Prohibition Pig moved in. The new restaurant quickly became popular with locals thanks to its excellent craft beer selection and southern-inspired BBQ dishes. In 2014, Rich acquired a historic former schoolhouse around the corner on Elm Street and opened it as the Prohibition Pig Brewery in December. Nate Johnson was hired as the head brewer to craft Pro Pig's own original brews. In 2018, Pro Pig was sold to restaurateur business partners Eric Warnstedt and William McNeil who also own Doc Ponds in Stowe and Hen of the Wood in Waterbury and Burlington. I recently visited Prohibition Pig while I was on a Vermont craft beer road trip. I've heard excellent things about them for several years. When I arrived in the late afternoon, the restaurant on South Main wasn't open yet but the brewery around the corner on Elm was. Pro Pig's delicious food is available at both locations. I could smell that delicious meat smoking from blocks away. I grabbed a seat at the bar and looked over the menu. I decided to order the "Brisket Smoked Meat Plate" (pickles, slaw, dinner roll) with a side of Cornbread (maple butter). The brisket was so falvorful and tender that it melted in my mouth like butter. I washed it all down with a draught pour of "Valentino" (Italian Pislner). Although I enjoyed Pro Pig's house beer, it was their delicious meat that really impressed me. Since I was heading back home to Connecticut not long after my visit, I ordered a "Brisket Sandwich" (slaw, BBQ Sauce) and another side of Cornbread to bring back for my wife. I also grabbed a four-pack to go. I really enjoyed my experience at Prohibition Pig and I hope to return in the future!
