We love your product, but going to look elsewhere do to none of your phone numbers ever work and now your web site is down, no way to contact you for an order. You sure would have a lot more business if customers could get ahold of you. read more

Wonderful service! Delicious taste! It is worthwhile to stop on in and pickup something sweet or other items they also have for sale! Very sweet lady as well! read more

The woman inside was super sweet!!! She was friendly and pointed out some of their specialties. Make sure to try their "poop" - chocolate covered caramels and nuts (If you don't want nuts get the Buffalo Chips). read more

The Choke Cherry Tree - Buffalo chips - Grocery Near Me - Pagosa Springs, Colorado

See all

We came as a group during a visit to Pagosa, and just had to come to Choke Cherry Tree upon recommendation from family for their chocolates and sweets! We left with: Baby Buffalo Chips, Mountain Lion Mounds, Homemade Caramel with Nuts, Barrel Aged Balsamic Vinegar, Nectar of the Gods, and Wild Choke Cherry Syrup. This review is mostly for our wonderful service and experience that we received from Jenelle! She was so kind, passionate about the products, funny, and provided such an amazing service to our party of 6! Social distance and masks were worn, and everyone in the store was very respectful. She greeted and served everyone who came in with a smile (behind the mask), and our group was thoroughly grateful for the amazing customer service. There was an amazing selection of sweets, my personal favorite thing that I got to try and take home was the Balsamic Vinegar! It was FANTASTIC!! If you're in Pagosa, I would be sure to check it out. read more

Staying at Wyndham the store came highly recommended. Extremely disappointed with service which; has been the normal almost everywhere after Covid. Our children were very excited about the poops aka candy. They were good until we found a coiled up blonde hair in the candy. My wife, myself & my children all have dark hair. read more

We LOVE the Choke Cherry Tree! Every time we come to Pagosa, have to get a bag, or two, or three of the delicious caramels with nuts! This time, we also picked up some of their truffles- we recommend the mint and the chocolate on chocolate ones- delicious!! Also appreciate the option to order from afar, as we don't live anywhere near here- so, that's great too! If you're ever in Pagosa Springs, CO, you absolutely have to come check them out. read more

This little store is awesome. The selection of jams, jellies, truffles and caramels is just the beginning. Their sauces, dips and soup mixes are in a class by themselves. Don't get me started on the variety of original Vinaigrettes that will take your cooking to a whole other level! Fresh Artisan Breads, Free Range eggs, and meats. The staff know their products and can whip up the perfect gift basket for any occasion. Do yourself a favor and stop by they even give you a caramel to try while you shop. By the way if you get hooked on their unique products they ship! read more

When we saw the ad for this place, we were excited to go there. Went there and looked around a while. Nobody approached us. Stuck my head around the back corner to see if anyone was going to come out and the woman snapped at me for having the audacity to appear like I was rushing her. Put our stuff back and walked out. How the hell do you expect people... Especially from out of town... To be repeat clients when you behave that way. read more

Best fudge and caramels in pagosa, a very friendly atmosphere and was offered samples of the caramels. read more

Maria is amazing. love your caramels and everything. Your products are the best. We love you guys so much!

Most amazing truffles and chocolates! The staff are so very sweet and kind, they provide samples for tasting as well.

They have so many unique items for the kitchen. Spices, jellies, aioli, chocolates. They give you a caramel to enjoy while you shop. Very friendly. I love this place! We are going to do the chocolate experience while we are in Pagosa Springs. I can't wait! read more

Yum! Def worth a stop to check everything out. I like that you can taste a sample of whatever you want before you buy it. That got me in trouble, I wanted everything I test tasted. Now I just needa hide these goodies from my hubby so he doesn't eat em all! read more

Cute place with some great goodies , friendly staff , very inviting, definitely a place to stop while in Pagosa

AMAZING LOCAL COMPANY. It is a small little shop but you could spend hours there looking at all of the neat kitchen and cooking essentials. The owner is very knowledgeable about the products that she sells. And the chocolate is to die for! read more

We have been coming to Pagosa Springs for nigh on a decade, and this place is always a "must stop." During our week here, we have already visited twice. It is hell on my waistline but heaven for my mental health. The chocolate is truly worth going crazy over. Our family favorites are the Moose Poop and Deer Droppings. We also picked up a soup mix to blend some vitamins in with everything else. I am trying to figure out how to ship the chocolate to Texas and everyone I know. Just go already. read more

Pleasant staff, definitely a tourist shop for something to buy with a local flair. I've not had another but the choke cherry jam was rather bland; small jar for the price. read more

Great little shop with lots of fun stuff. Great caramels in lots of flavors! Great and very helpful staff.

The people that work here are always welcoming and really friendly and kind and I love there chocolate the best

I give it one star because I feel it is so over priced. Seems like they are trying to stick it to the tourist.

A great place, with all sorts of terrific goodies. They are so friendly and always ready to provide samples of the great treats they have. Also a great place to buy kitchen and entertaining items that are very unique. read more

This place is sweet...from the very kind, helpful, funny and friendly staff to the old fashioned caramels and chocolates along with jams, jellies, vinaigrettes, fruit syrups, fruit butters, salsas and more. They offer samples on everything in the store and everything we tried was awesome. Get some caramels and some cinnamon cream honey butter and you won't be disappointed read more

Really eclectic gift and candy shops. Very friendly staff. Lots of unique flavors of vinegar, dressings, chocolates, caramels and kitchen gadgets. They let you sample everything too. read more

We stopped in here to sample some sweets after a hike up Treasure Falls, the homemade fudge was fantastic. The shoppe is fun and filled with cute knickknack finds like purses, trendy scarfs, hats and clothing along with Jewelry and other girly items. They offer a brunch that sounds good but we didn't return for it. The chocolates were fantastic and we got a sampling for friends back home. The service was attentive and welcoming read more

The owner is very accommodating and knows every product in the store, inside and out. The homemade caramels are amazing! Make sure to try the samples on the tables. You may find out something about your palate you didn't know! read more

We love this store. It is usually friendly and fun to shop in. The array of products is wonderful and they have many unique items. The caramels and various "poops" are so delicious i have to limit what i buy. The many sauces and salsas are to die for. That is why i was surprised when I came in with my son and his wife early Thursday afternoon on August 6th. No one greeted us for several minutes and when a lady finally did greet us, we were not offered a caramel, which I think is an extra touch of your store that puts it a cut above other stores. Pickings were slim, there was no salsa (delivery had been pushed back, no fault of store). We asked about Nectar of the Gods sauce as we did not see any and were told it was "in the back". My son said this was their last day here and he would like to buy a lot and could she get it from the back. Reply was "it will be ready when it is on the website and you can order online." She was very abrupt and unhelpful. He came into the store to make a good sized purchase while in town and not have shipping charges and she did not seem to want to help. She said nothing to us about offering samples of any of the goods (which usually the clerk does even if we do not ask for any samples). My daughter in law got a bag of caramels and I finally asked as we were checking out if the store was no longer offering samples of the caramels. The clerk's reply was "yes" but made no move to give us one. I said "well, I would like to try the nut one" and my daughter in law said she would like that too to see if she liked that (she had gotten the plain caramels- delicious!). She finally got the bags of samples out and gave us one. Hoping the clerk was just having a bad day as this is a GREAT STORE! read more

A good friend of ours gave us a jar of Grandma's Wild Choke Cherry Jelly from this place. We opened it and found the top of the jelly covered with mold. Yes, the jar lid did "pop" when we opened it, so it seems not to have been previously opened. We have no idea what actually does go on in Grandma's kitchen, but - unless you want to actually choke on your food - I'd recommend that you steer well clear of anything "she" produces. read more
