    2 bags of popcorn, chocolate pretzels, chocolate graham crackers, chocolate Oreos, chocolate NutterButter, and a variety pack
    Ryan B.

    Big fan of this cozy little candy shop in downtown Wallingford. I was in desperate need of some last-minute Christmas gift fillers, and I was fortunate enough to stumble across the Sweet Cioccolata as it is on my way to the train station on the same road. I walked in, took a quick look around and picked out the bags of candies/chocolates illustrated in the photo below. For the haul shown, I spent slightly less than $60, which admittedly is a bit steep, but the packaging is extremely appealing (no need to wrap/modify) and they were very well-received on Christmas Day. I also had the good fortune of chatting with Rachel (store owner) for a few minutes and it is no wonder they've been in business for ~16 years. Highly recommend keeping this place in mind if you are looking for thoughtful gifts with small-town charm.

    The price tag will make me steer clear of this place, but this cute little shop greets you with the rich smell of chocolate when you walk in. Who can resist a visit? The service was friendly. There are sample chocolates in a little bowl when you come in. They tasted slightly stale, but oh well. Get a little nibble! I had a chocolate covered Oreo. There's a glass case with several little chocolate treats like truffles. I ordered two peanut butter cups. They were thick and large with a creamy interior and smooth chocolate. I enjoyed them, but I like See's Candies chocolate better. Plus, the two cups were pricey! They also offer several ready-to-go packaged items, like pretzels and assorted goodies dipped in chocolate. There were also bags of turtles, Rice Krispies, and marshmallow pops. If you're in the mood for a caramel apple, they have those too!

Grace's is a new Black Owned Business that has only been open a few weeks and is serving up some nostalgia...with a side of gelato or sorbet. They have some hard to find goodies available (when's the last time you saw freeze dried candy/ice cream or a Kit Kat Churro Candy Bar available locally), drinks you and your kids will love in the cooler by @averysbeverages, @drink_warheads and @prime_energy__drinks, and gelato and sorbet locally made by @gelatogiuliana_newhaven! I mean when you have kids to help with the selection, who better to advise on what kids (and anyone with a sweet tooth) want?!? Check out my reel on ig (@clinkdrinkeat.com) and see for the cutest *clink* I've ever captured by the owner's 9-year old twins, Jae'quese and Jahlil. I love how bright and inviting the shop is, with a big candy mural by @b_tatt2dude. Go check it out and find some candy you'll remember from your childhood! You may know I have a frozen dessert addiction so I had scoops of the following flavors: Coconut, Chocolate, All'Oreo, and Espresso Macarpone Chocolate gelato, AND Passionfruit Peach and Blood Orange Raspberry sorbet (oh how the pieces of fruit and seeds in the sorbet let you know it's locally made with love). Yes, 6 scoops. Don't judge. Which are you grabbing on your visit?i

Why did it take us so long to visit? I suppose their limited hours (Tuesday to Friday) had a lot to do with it, but we did visit today and I'm very glad we did. Why? Well, here ya go... 1) Thompson Chocolates goes way back to 1879 and has been in Meriden since Day One. They are one of the first chocolate companies in America. 2) The store is gorgeous and beautifully organized with colorful displays of chocolate bars, pops, bark, gift boxes, chocolate coins and cigars, and jellybeans. 3) We met the owner Jackie, who was one of the very nicest, friendliest, and generous business owners we've ever seen. 4) We walked into a BOGO sale of leftover Easter candies and scored a nice bag of Dark Easter Eggs and an Easter Goodie Bag for zippo 5) Jackie was super generous and tossed four gift bags of assorted chocolate into our shopping bag as freebies. 6) You get a 10% discount with your Yelp check in. 7) They have a 10% Senior Citizen discount on Wednesday and a military discount every day. 8) They have a mail order business through an on-line store. 9) We paid under $22 for a box of dark chocolate raspberry jellies, two Easter Goodie Bags, two bags of Easter Dark Chocolate Eggs, and four small mesh gift bags of assorted chocolates. One was white chocolate which will be a perfect treat for my granddaughter who won't eat milk or dark chocolate. I sure hope that gives you an idea of how great our visit to Thompson was.

We were greeted with a mostly empty display with lots of stuff everywhere. We did manage to get a small group of treats at a fairly high price point, but the attention to detail and quality of the chocolates produced were at levels typically not seen in Connecticut or even around the US. Ever since that first meeting, we try to make the trek here to get a few delectable treats to savor once in a while. The owner is very relaxed and uses his place as a ramshackle display of personality and skill. It's not prim and polished, but there's a few pieces usually on display, a subtle sweet smell in the air, and many interesting flavors and fillings of truffles dotting the display cases. Like a master tailor, this place is known by those who know. They look past the grit and enjoy the true gem. It's really good chocolate, pricy but worth it, and worth a trek.

We time we opted in for the 12 piece pack, instead of the 6 to try a variety of different flavors. My favorite is the Knights of Tasmania, which is milk chocolate with hints of heat/pepper. My other favorite is First and Last. It is a tomato, flavored chocolate, but don't let the combination fool you. It is a very smooth and creamy chocolate. There is no way to describe it except you must try it. It is VERY good! The prices are a little expensive, but what do you expect for good chocolatier craftsmanship and good chocolates? This is not your average go to the corner store and purchase a box of chocolate. The time taken and the effort put into these chocolates is worth the money! The flavors are simply mind blowing, and nothing that you would normally put together and some of the more unique flavors

There were packaged items,hot items and cold items as well. I ordered a honey lavender macchiato and it was absolutely delicious. They took my order and then called me when it was ready. It was a little bit loud in there so I didn't head her call my name but it was still hot when I went and checked to see if she called me. That was not her fault. I could have stayed closer. You need a code for the restroom and there is only one single stall. The code is on the bottom of your receipt. I really like that each thing lists ingredients and calories.

Most chairs were up on tables, but a few tables had chairs down and people sat at chairs in the front. When we went up to the register, my friend got excited because they were playing a song she really liked. The employee told her to "calm down" multiple times in a very rude tone. We bought a piece of cake, it was a bit expensive for a small slice ($7.75) but we noticed a student discount with proof of Student ID. One of my friends had her student ID on her so she showed it, my friends also got excited about the discount and we were told to "calm down" again. Then another employee told us that the discount didn't apply to cake or macarons?? Weird. Seems convenient, since those were the only things left in the case. Anyway, we bought the cake at full price, and my friend went to find forks for the group. She asked one of the employees behind the counter and he very rudely said, "Have you tried looking behind you?" So rude. I asked for a plate to make it easier for us to split the cake slice, and the first employee told me they were closed for eating. No mention of that or signs about it before we purchased. We had to leave with our cake and ended up eating it outside on the street. I'm not happy with this place, it looked so cute at first but honestly not even worth the trouble or the money.
