I've been purchasing Fastachi for many years, excellent product. Visited the store today, was…read moredisappointed they no longer carry marzipan (tho still listed on website). Usually I take goods home w me but today wanted to order a gift for out of state delivery. Presume the quality of the gift will be nice as usual but the staff member acted as if she had better things to do. (It was not busy at the shop, only one other customer who was being taken care of), almost asked her if she was okay, came close to walking away without completing the order. Clearly, she dislikes her job and isn't interested in customer service. It's a bad look for Fastachi. We all have bad days but this person had a serious disregard for doing her job. Makes one hesitate to return.

I love Fastachi products. However, I have had consistent problems ordering online. The only way I…read morehave been able to access orders has been to reach a person with a callback by phone. Now they have canceled that option ...no phone calls accepted/returned new policy! I made 5-6 efforts yesterday to place an order and the computer program just will not accept the information and keeps stating that I need "To follow the format,..." which I thought I was doing. I wrote to their website/email and no response. I would just forget Fastachi totally at this point, never attempt to order again, however I had discussed some options with a client who chose to receive treats from them. I don't understand why I cannot simply order online and have it go through. It has never been a possibility for me over perhaps five years trying yo order online. Never had such a problem with other vendors! They even identify on the website the l item I want, which is a variety of chocolate bark as requested by my client. But, when I double click on it, I get all the chocolate treats and I cannot find the bark. I'm very very disappointed and not sure how I will handle this. Such inconvenience and lack of customer support. They apparently have expanded their services to other stores and have what looks like a large corporate clientele. I cannot understand why they no longer accept phone calls when their system to place orders just does not work! I would love help with this particularly for this one situation and then I wouldn't bother them again and not purchase their wonderful treats as gifts. To me this seems like a very poor resolution of a problem that should not exist in 2025 with current communication possibilities via computers. I'm very upset and disappointed. Marcia Tritter

I really liked the chocolate covered oranges in particular! I ended up buying chocolate covered ginger and a tea-coffee flavor set of five. The ginger isn't too sharp when you bite into it since it's been candied, and the earl grey chocolate bonbon (which I wanted to try since I saw it online) was sold out individually but still sold in the five flavor sampler. The jasmine tea white chocolate rose was also delicious and the tea flavor was surprisingly rich. It's not cheap but it's well worth a nice gift for yourself or someone else!

They were super sweet and the candy was fantastic... hopefully they do some more holiday boards coming up!

I got about a pound of candy for around $14 to try a good mix of everything from chewy and sour gummies to chocolate. They have swedish candy that has the chewy marshmallow textures to tiny gummy bears with different flavors. While I was paying, the lady told me they've been open for 35 years, so they are definitely doing well. A great place to stop by if to indulge on some sweets and treats.

At first, I thought my sandwich was just bland, but when I looked, it was bland because it might as well have been sold as just bread. There was a single, very thin slice of roasted turkey, and a very sparse portion of coleslaw in what they ironically called a "Hearty Harvard." There are too many other great choices in the area to deal with that. NOPE! Never again.

They are a great snack that feels like a treat and with so many varieties to try we never get bored! Most of all we love that since they're homemade the nut flavors are all-natural, bold and never overly sweet or salty. I love the coquito almonds (esp all the coconut chunks leftover in the bottom of the bag) and my husband goes for all the different chocolates (esp the chocolate cardamom orange!). We are excited to try the new cacao nibs as well. Overall, love the family vibes here, the lovely and always helpful staff and the high quality product.

They had a bunch of different kinds of pens, washi tapes, stickers, stencils, etc... definitely worth a stop. I also got a TWSBI fountain pen that I wanted and they had it there!

When bagging your own candy, you pay $7.98 for a half pound and $15.96 for a pound of candy. They're also offering a special candy box that you can fill up that costs a fixed $16.99. I got that candy box, filled it up, and was able to fit 1.4 lbs of candy in it, so it was a better deal than getting the bag. Note that the box must be able to be closed; you can't leave it overflowing. The shop has just opened so it's new and clean. It doesn't has high traffic so far.

Always come and buy some chocolate!…read more Milk Chocolate Mouse, Dark Chocolate Mouse: The most classic products. They had a thin string on the back to mimic a tail, which also helps keep your hands clean--a fun and thoughtful design. The cocoa and milk flavors were pure and rich, with a smooth and silky texture. I personally didn't find it too sweet. My friends who tasted it also raved about it. Pavé Glacé: The best of the bunch. Made in the same way as nama chocolate生チョコ--frozen chocolate ganache, but this one had a fine layer of cocoa powder, making it denser and more solid. It melted in mouth and starts to linger, with a more distinct flavor profile from bitter to sweet to fragrant. Sesame Truffe: Two pieces in one serving was perfect. A thin layer of light cocoa powder on the surface, the shell was so crisp that it crumbled in mouth, and the flowing filling with nutty and caramel flavors immediately spills out. However, I didn't taste much sesame; it's closer to hazelnut, the classic chocolate flavor, and a bit on the sweeter side.

They feature lots of Swiss treats and there's something everyone would like. I ordered a milk chocolate hot chocolate and my friend got a dark chocolate. The drinks are rich and super smooth. I always need a little water which luckily they have a pitcher with little cups. We then split two treats, the Engadiner Nusstorte and Cherry Tart. Both were delicious, and they complimented the drinks nicely, especially the Cherry adding that contrasting tartness to a sweet beverage. The gentleman working was also nice he cut the treats in half for us to split. I was shocked how busy it was, at most points there wasn't a free table inside, as people come here to chat and enjoy. It was the perfect place to meet a friend and I'd come back for sure.
