While visiting Vermont with my bestie, she took me on a cruise of Lake Champlain. We parked, walked down to the boat and met up with family, before getting aboard. The boat itself reminded of casino cruises, minus the casino. The bar was well stocked and the pizza wasn't bad. I am glad I brought a jacket as the breeze was strong. Sadly we did not see Champ, The lake champlain cryptid. Ah well. The cruise was really nice, and the staff when interacting are polite and nice.

Maple Ice Cream.

This is about as tourist trap as it gets. The Millennial Chum and I stopped in here on our way into Stowe this past weekend - I saw signs for cheese and chocolate and insisted this would be an ideal location for local swag (it wasn't; the mugs in the adjoining shop were $44. Insane.). This establishment is located in a building with several other stores, but it didn't take long for us to organically wander into this one. As mentioned in pretty much every other review, it's a lot to take in, chocolate-wise. There's a self-serve chocolate variety bin area where you can scoop out preferred flavors at $31/lb (yikes), along with tons of displays with wrapped bars and bags of individual candies. Unsurprisingly, there was a strong maple bent to a lot of the inventory. I wasn't really in the mood for chocolate at the specific moment in time (and the Millennial Chum was right - it was overpriced for sure, no matter how good the overall quality of the chocolate) and opted for the ice cream, which was nestled in the back corner of the store. There were a few people behind the long counter but I was impressed that the minute I placed myself in front of the ice cream, someone immediately popped over to assist - some vigilance points there for sure. Since I was still getting my Vermont sea legs, I went with a small cup of maple ice cream (I think $5ish). Really hit the spot. You can taste the artisanal/small batch goodness of this ice cream - just the right amount of creamy, just the right amount of density. While I was still in the middle of consuming the ice cream, I noticed a framed shout-out by the door indicating this ice cream had won a few local awards. Unsurprisingly. The Millennial Chum grabbed a few peanut butter cups, but no one was interested in emptying their wallet before we'd even gotten to our official destination of the trip. We noticed after we got into town that this is a mini chain; there was a super cute location just off the main drag in Stowe located in a ye olde home with a porch that I would have preferred to go to instead purely for ambiance purposes. It's pricy; I would be surprised if locals are a significant part of the clientele here. As an aside, I did grab a chocolate mint crunch bar from a local mini mart later in the day, which was tasty but honestly nothing that would significantly set it apart from any other quasi-bougie chocolate. I was pleasantly surprised by the ice cream though.

Aztec hot chocolate was delicious! Love the mural on the side of the shop, super cute photo op.

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.

Coffee and maple syrup

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.

"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**

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.

The apple cider caramel was a solid favorite of ours!
Liz J.

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.

LCC is expensive but their hot chocolates are so damn good. I buy a can everytime I am up. Located right next to the Cabot Cheese outlet.

The smell of fresh chocolate hits you the second you open the door and instantly triggers a craving for pure sweetness. It is a total sugar lover's paradise. We started with a mint chocolate chip milkshake that can simply be summed up as a masterpiece. Easy five stars on that alone. Next up was a double scoop on a waffle cone, which was huge and made to perfection. The chocolate chip flavor was just okay, but the strawberry? It tasted like they literally went out to a farm, picked the strawberries, and turned them into ice cream right there. That flavor deserves a 10 out of 5. Since Yelp caps me at five stars, five stars it shall be. If you're anywhere near Burlington and need a sugar fix, do not pass this place up.

The staff was nice and the store is nicely set up with treats all around. It was a warm day so we decided to get some ice cream to cool down. I got the Black and White ice cream shake. It was really good. Unfortunately it was too hot of a day to purchase chocolate of any kind. We were still going to be walking around and it would melt for sure before we got it back to our place. The chocolates did look really good. We sat outside in their seating area, just outside the door. Wishing them all the best in their business endeavors.
