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 !

Ok! So who doesn't love a little toy shop/candy shop in a historic downtown area?!…read more There's just something above and beyond special about a store like this vs going to one of those god awful box stores or taking business to...Amazon! My brother and I were recently in Manchester, VT and while walking around downtown, we stopped in here. Just the outside of the building makes you wanna go in. Then you get in there and it's legit like you're a kid again. The layout is amazing. Upstairs and downstairs to this place. Downstairs is the candy and probably the nicest lady EVERRR to work in a retail store. Really wish I had gotten her name. I swear if more stores had people like her, I think more people would go back to stores vs shopping online. She's above and beyond pleasant, friendly, funny, so accommodating, just an absolute delight of a person. This place kinda feel like something you'd see in a movie. Maybe a movie from "yesteryear" (I hate that word lol, but it kinda applies here haha) It's just so homey! She made it even homier AND she let me bring in my little yorkie, my little Alfred and she was so nice to him as well. Seriously, what happened to retail? We all know this generation and their...LOVE of working with the public haha! Like I said, if more stores had friendly people like this woman, (I'm gonna assume that maybe she owns the store?) we'd all be in stores more. Ok, so the store haha! Candy downstairs, tons of stuff upstairs. Toys, hoodies, shirts, etc. The shirts and stuff are touristy items. Manchester and Vermont on the fronts. Some super nice. Priced a little higher than some places, but seriously not bad at all. Besides, if I had gotten something like that, I'd 100% buy from a store like hers vs a bigger store. Also, who buys touristy type clothes from like...Walmart or Target?! Ugh! It just isn't the same vs getting it at a TRUE store to whatever town or city you're visiting. Downstairs she had a plate of cookies out for the customers. Of course, I grabbed a few haha. Alfie (my dog) and I were very thankful haha! She also said "make sure to grab some cookies on the counter back there!" I was like "one step ahead of you, girl! Already grabbed some" hahaha! No matter how much I watch my diet, if there are cookies....ima have some lol. The inside is like a really homey house. Even the outside looks that way...so maybe it was a home at one time? Fantastic store! Truly is! Kids and us *big* kids all love this place. How can you not? On our way out, (she might remember this lol) she said "think fast" and tossed a free piece of gum to me...I had my dog in my arms so I'm using him as an excuse as to why I didn't catch it hahaha! She then tossed one to my brother and he missed too hahahaha! To be fair, there were like 6 people all eyes on us. The pressure was real lol. Embarrassing we couldn't catch a piece of gum...BUT for me, one handed! Hahaha! One customer said "I would have dropped it too with all those eyes on me" So there's another excuse for us GUYS not catching a little piece of gum haha! I look forward to the day I go back to Vermont. I've gone the past 2 years. So hopefully we will make it there again next year. If we do! Manchester for sure and without a doubt....another visit to this amazing little store with so much character...from the employees to the store itself. I hands down recommend anyone and everyone go here and support her anyway you can. These stores need to be cherished. Thanks for reading, YelperCottagers! Cheers!

A magical experience for the kids. Lisa has created a gem downtown that is truly magical. Something…read morefor everyone - all sorts of neat candies, fun trinkets, toy cars and trucks, necklaces, rings and bracelets, all kinds of nice smelling hand sanitizers, t-shirts, sweatshirts, so much more. And soon to be a new ice cream concept. We enjoyed freshly baked cookies while shopping and Lisa showed us kindness that made an impression on my children. Can't wait to visit again!
