I had the cashew bark, which was absolutely delicious, and a chai that was perfectly spiced and really hit the spot. The atmosphere is just as great as the treats. They have seating and even some games, which makes it a fun place to hang out and relax while you enjoy your snack. The staff were also kind and helpful when choosing what we wanted. If I lived in the area, I would definitely be a regular here. Highly recommend stopping by if you're nearby!

The last time I went here, my mother ordered an Irish cream coffee, and when we got home she realised there was cottage cheese-like chunks in it. The next day we brought the coffee back, and they were wonderful about it! They happily replaced the drink with a fresh one. The environment is also very nice. The owner puts a lot of work into decorating the place. Although it is a bit crowded, I like the vibe in general! Altogether, pretty good place. Lots of candy, snacks, drinks, toys, and of course chocolate, ice cream, and coffees!

HÅKAN Chocolatier is one of my favorite places in Beacon! I'm a regular here and stop by often to…read moretreat myself or pick up beautiful chocolates as gifts for family and friends. The quality is exceptional, and every chocolate is crafted with so much care that they're always a hit. During the fall and winter, this is my go-to spot for their incredible hot chocolate. It's rich, velvety, and hands down one of the best I've ever had. My daughter absolutely loves it too, so it's become one of our favorite seasonal traditions. The pastries are also fantastic--I highly recommend the Cardamom Bun--and the cozy atmosphere makes it the perfect place to relax. My friend and I have even made it a tradition to stop by after our Pilates classes for a sweet treat and a warm drink. The staff is always welcoming and attentive, and while the products are premium, they're absolutely worth every penny. If you're in Beacon, HÅKAN Chocolatier is a must-visit for chocolate lovers.

It was my first time visiting, and I had a few questions, but I didn't feel welcomed or encouraged to ask them. The older woman working there didn't make me feel welcome. She was very kind and attentive to the customer in front of me, but I didn't receive the same level of service. It left me feeling uncomfortable and overlooked. I can't say for certain whether race played a role, but the difference in how I was treated made me question it. I hope every customer, especially first-time visitors, is treated with the same kindness, respect, and willingness to help.

What I immediately liked was the fact that she had sample plates in several areas of the small store offering tasted of some of the surrounding treats. After trying a bit of this and a bit of that, I settled on the "Wandering Star" truffle, which included double chocolate and stout. What a truffle! 100x better than Godiva, and for sure as good or better than similar offerings at the other candy stores around town. The store itself is elegant with some seating around the small perimeter. My only complaint is that they didn't have to go coffee cups. I was really in the mood for a cappuccino. This seems to be an easy fix that I'm hoping they will remedy. While I'm not sure this store will attract the movie crowd next door, I sure hope they "make it" so I can continue to satisfy my truffle fix from time to time.

Once upon a time it was a lovely, decadent little shop and we looked forward to indulging in chocolates for our Tanglewood visit. Not anymore. For the last 4 years, the service has been poor and they are out of chocolates on a regular basis. After 2020, they asked for patience which we gladly gave but they adopted dismissive staff and a lack of customer care as standard operating procedure. If you go, be prepared for disappointment.

My family and I have been loyal customers of Krause's Homemade Candy for many years. We've bought…read morechocolates for ourselves, holidays, and gifts, and visiting Krause's has always been a tradition whenever I returned to New York after living in Florida. In fact, it was the very first stop my husband and I made because I couldn't wait to enjoy my favorite chocolates again. Unfortunately, this visit was incredibly disappointing. The first thing I noticed was the new logo and packaging. While I know businesses evolve, the new design loses the classic, elegant feel that made Krause's so special and instead looks much more generic. More importantly, the chocolates themselves are not the same. Many of the pieces are noticeably smaller than they used to be, and the chocolate tastes different. Several pieces even had bloom, which affected both their appearance and texture. I purchased a variety of chocolates, including individual pieces from the display case, chocolate bars, and peppermint patties, and every product seemed to reflect a decline in quality. To make matters worse, many of my longtime favorite pieces were no longer available. I've happily recommended Krause's for years because it consistently offered some of the best homemade chocolates in the Capital Region. This time, however, I left feeling disappointed and honestly saddened. I truly hope the owners will consider returning to the quality, recipes, and traditions that built Krause's outstanding reputation, because many longtime customers remember how exceptional their chocolates used to be.

The list goes on. The rooms are small but what Allen carries in this shop is amazing. This shop has encouraged us to also check out Northampton. Wow this town has a lot to offer. If you're not familiar with it, like us, definitely look into the town/city before making a trip. Make a day of it. And bring a cooler for the turnover, popovers and meats you'll be toting home :)
