I am so disappointed in Pierre's. I have buying chocolate…read morehere for Christmas gifts for twenty-something years. I have always been pleased, but this Christmas was terrible. I purchased several one pound and half-pound boxes of chocolates. I specified for each box, that I wanted the boxes filled. I did not care what the weight or prices were. Each box contained assorted chocolate-covered fruits and truffles. I buy the same candy varieties each year, so I am speaking from experience. Every year, the boxes are filled with the chocolate-covered fruits overlapping each other and small paper cups, each with one truffle. The boxes look impressive, when opened. This year, the woman who helped me did not overlap the fruit and put them in the box piece by piece. One chocolate-covered orange slice took up one entire row!! Every year, there are easily three orange slices per row and four pieces of other fruit, I.e. apricots/peaches, per row. When my recipients opened their boxes, the candy looked awful. The boxes were half full. Once again, I explicitly said I did not care about weight and/or price. I wanted the boxes FILLED!!! I have never been so embarrassed! The candy was good, but the presentation was just awful. I am a very loyal and dissatisfied customer. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Edited to say- I also purchase the solid milk chocolate, foil-wrapped balls. Let me tell you, they were smaller than half their usual size. The foil is so hard to remove, I needed my 5 year old's little fingers to unwrap them! Smaller in size, higher in price.

Their meltaway chocolates are outstanding. If you don't buy anything just the aroma in the store is a delight. I travel around the area and make a point of stopping in chocolate stores as my wife likes chocolate. No complaints from anything I have brought home from Pierre's. When I say they are tops, it is because I have been to many chocolate stores, stores that have been around for decades. These other stores make some chocolate and also resell other chocolate, not the highest quality. I will not mention these other stores as they obviously have a loyal following to be open for decades, I just want better. This shop has 35 years history and is operated under the second owner, they are not the new kid on the block for sure. But you want high end chocolate you have to stop in this rather non-descript store and give their wares a try. They also ship for a flat fee which I recently tried and the goods came earlier than expected, although I really rather prefer to visit the shop.

Most of the stands are operated by the Amish, who travel back and forth to Lancaster, bringing you the freshest products from their farms and kitchens. This is the sweet spot inside this market place, with oh so many homemade chocolates, fudge, hard to find old fashioned candies, rows and rows of bagged sweet treats, they also sell Asher's chocolates and right now the store is well stocked with a great selection of Easter candies. This alone is enough excuse to get many in trouble, but add in rows and rows of homemade jams, apple or pear butters, fresh nuts galore, dried fruits and so many snack options. On top of all of this they have so many different pastas, some fresh and right out of an Amish kitchen in Lancaster. How can one not go crazy shopping with all of this temptation? Oh wait, I'm not finished! You name it, they have it when it comes to spices, herbs, cereals, baking goods, they have a large organic selection and yes, some even gluten free! They make their own nut butters, right in the store, with peanuts, cashews or almonds and they have a great variety of honey straight from Lancaster. I'm obviously a fan of this store, the homemade chocolates are divine, I love many of their products, so I do stock up when shopping here. Many free samples are scattered here and there, including those wonderful nut butters.

It is definitely for non-insulin dependents, because just looking at the stuffed aisles and shelves of cavity makers is enough to make my skin break out. If you like everything excessively sweet, this is your heaven. If you prefer a more subtle approach to your candy cravings, you may feel overwhelmed and want to keep looking after tasting a few samples. Selection is great. Prices not too bad. But, overall, this is not my favorite place for my weakness - chocolate.

Not crazy about a few discourteous employees that work there. Younger teens with no obvious training on customer service. Another issue is the up charge on credit cards. I believe it's 2 or 3 percent but at a time when most people don't carry large amounts of cash I think if they charged 1 percent across the board it would be beneficial for everyone and just the price of doing business.

But they had a lot of sales. They also sell teddy bears and bunnies to give as gifts with the chocolates. The sales people are always very friendly in here and are very helpful, they help you find the things you are looking for. I only rated them 3 stars due to the pricing and the location. On the navigation coming in it gets you lost and doesn't mention it's in the mall on the website so you drive to an invisible road. The pricing could be a little better on some of their items also, but overall it's a great store. The smell alone when walking in is amazing and mouth watering.

In all honesty I had to dock a star as their cakes always look good, but tasted mid at best. Another reason being it is quite an expensive place. Sometime there are great sales, other times, paying full price will put a dent in your wallet. The staff is always friendly and show their care despite typically being teenagers. I also must credit them for being open so late, given they're a bakery. Great memories and I plan to come many times in my future!
