The employees were friendly and very welcoming you can sense the friendly atmosphere. Is a small place with huge selection of sweets and goodies. There is a variety of fine chocolates, 75 different flavors of truffles, cookies cover with chocolate, bonbons cover with white and milk chocolate , strawberries, pretzels, Rice Krispies treats, apples cover with chocolate, nuts, chamoy and so other specialties. You can create your own chocolate box of truffles and chocolates as you wish. Purchased the Apple Venus / Chamoy, the Granny Smith apple was fresh with layers of Chamoy, tamarind, sprinkle with a mixture of Chile powder, sugar and salt. The Chocotreats / Bonbons Venus, cover with white and milk chocolate were just perfect not too sweet. By the way the store catalog is extensive of the many combinations you can imagine. Will definitely come back and will create my own chocolate box.

Excellent selection of delicious chocolates. Friendly staff and a good experience all round.read more

We stopped here earlier today thinking that they would have hot coco, instead we found out this is…read morea chocolate factory. The chocolate is freshly made from the actual chocolate beans and the flavors are so unique and authentic. I mean they have chocolate with Chile!! (I was not brave to try it but maybe before I leave I do). They have chocolate with agave (Yes, the plant they make tequila with). You can also find a chocolate with mole!! (You know you wanna try it). They also have your ussual raspberry-chocolate mix and other, but I do recommend you try some of their signature ones. You wont regret it. I loved that we found this place because despite not being what we were looking for, turned out to be something we didnt even know existed. This place is also great to buy souvenirs for those who couldnt come on the trip or just to take something from this awesome town. The staff was super friendly and schooled us about their chocolate, they speak english and their prices are on point. Mexican chocolate, rocks!

I especially love their firecracker chocolate- spicy and filled with pop rocks! They had a post holiday sale --50% off their center table.

The staff is super nice and there's a big window you can see the factory in action.

I learned that Chuao's pure chocolate shows no signs of any waxy texture. Waxy texture can indicate low quality ingredients. Chuao provides all fair trade, ethically sourced chocolate with no artificial flavors. I'm partial to Dark Chocolate flavors but the milk chocolate is fantastic! Firecracker, Churro, Honeycomb, and Spicy Maya! Tastes so good!

Despite being dressed like I was "cleaning out the garage", I was warmly greeted and twice offered a chocolate sample while perusing the prepackaged shelves. Purchased some pre-boxed chocolates to give as gifts. Has a very positive customer experience while in the store. Upon returning home, I researched Laderach and, as I have Swiss ancestry,was stoked that they are a Swiss company . Upon further reading, I was disappointed to learn that the owners and top management are involved in anti-LGBTQ and anti-abortion activities. It is for this reason will likely not return to Laderach.

CHOCOLATE FROM SWITZERLAND (3.2 stars)…read more Real talk, I didn't savor exquisite chocolates. Definitely better than Hershey but not better than Toblerone (in my opinion). The two pieces of chocolates I bought for $5 per piece had no wow-factor and nothing stood out but tasting about average-good chocolate. The chocolates here are very pricy and don't feel there was justification. MILK CHOCOLATE with hazelnuts, gianduja ($5) - This was good and liked it better than the other chocolate I bought, only because there was more chocolate flavor and I like texture in my chocolate bars such as hazelnuts. WHITE CARAMEL CHOCOLATE with almonds, granola, caramel ($5) - This reminded me of a Starbucks Caramel Machiatto and surprised it didn't blow my taste buds. I think I can walk pass this chocolate shop while shopping. I'll stick to my Toblerone. Until the next review...

While eating dinner at 127 West Social House I ran into the start up business owner Of Sweet Irony Candy Co. I was telling her about how I love support local businesses in our friendly village. She gave me a sample of her Milk Stout Sea Salted Caramel and I was in nirvana...OMGit was so good I helped myself to seconds. She told me a little bit about the back story of her company. She started of telling me about the company name and how came about because she's a type 1 diabetic who makes (non diabetic friendly) candy...hence Sweet Irony! I thought that was super clever....her story was eye opening but I wish her the best of luck! Before I left the restaurant I bought 1 bag of Caramels and 1 box of English Toffee. Before I got home I devoured the whole bag of caramels! It was amazingly yummy...I was hooked! Honestly, I felt super guilty afterwards and if my guilt didn't shame me I would have ate the whole bag of English Toffee as well! I added her on Instagram. I think I'm gonna order some for my friends at work. I'm still thinking about the bag of English Toffee! Haha

Even Anthony Bourdain thought so... and come on, if Anthony Bourdain makes a statement about food, it must be truth. The funny thing is, as much as the culinary arts have grown in town there really aren't that many culinary schools in town that aren't crazy expensive private art schools. It's a bummer that people have to go across the border to get this sort of training and education. That's why I'm a fan of this Culinary Art School. The quality of chefs that come out of here is amazing, some of them work at the finest restaurants in town. Aside from the usual culinary school programs and degrees they also offer small workshops where anyone can sign up (last one I heard of was a beer appreciation course) if this is something that might interest you go ahead and sign up on their website so you can get the newsletter!
