The parking area is large and offers Plenty of parking. It definitely has that fishy smell when you first walk in, but feel that means you can tell the fish is fresh. They have everything from rice to sauces and unique fruits and vegetables, that I haven't seen anywhere else. I enjoyed walking around, looking at everything and the prices were really good. The ice cream near the check out register was my favorite find!

Parking was plentiful in the plaza. Once you walk in, you get that Asian market odor lol. There's a very clean, organized, and with lots of variety fish counter. I definitely would buy my seafood there. There were produce with a variety of different fruits and veggies that you can't find in your typical grocery store; I purchased some rambutan on this visit. There were seasonings, a small selection of noodles, and other products. It's not just Asian items but Latin, Caribbean, African, and more. There were dairy products and a bunch of snacks too. Service was good and it wasn't too crowded in there. Overall, a good spot to get some ethnic food items.

The negative comments here are from losers that probably only season their food with salt (if at all!) and have never even stepped foot in the store. Penzeys has every spice you can think of and even better blends. I love their taco seasoning, sunny Paris, and sweet curry blend. They often have great sales and freebies so make sure to sign up for their email list!

And, Penzey's has a wonderful stock of spices and blends, and while it is not inexpensive, we have found their quality to be consistently high. The store is very attractively laid out with lots of space for browsing (check out the photos), and there are lots of products to browse. We are fond of some of the herbs and mace, but that's hardly a focus for others. We think it's worth going out of your way to shop here if you're in need of a little spice in your life!

My mom walked in one day and spoke to the owner as she was the sweetest lady ever and super nice. My mom talked about how she immigrated and how she's been looking for a local store like this to feed her sweet tooth! (European delights and sides/snacks for when having tea/coffee) from that day on we have been considered regulars. My mom introduced my dad, then they showed me the ropes, etc. we have witnessed the change of ownership from the previous owner to the apprentice and the service has stayed just as great, nothing less expected from the amazing team. Anyways, 100/10 would recommend always as they always helps us and are always doing it with a smile.

I liked Bridgewater Chocolate ("BC") before they were in West Hartford Center. I had heard about…read moreBC from a Best Chocolate list. The list suggested that BC had great traditional chocolates, while another CT chocolatier had a modern European style. Both great, but different. I remember going to a store in Bridgewater, CT many years ago, but I don't think it was actually a Bridgewater Chocolate store. That store sold BC's high end classic chocolates like turtles, toffees, patties and caramels though. I bought a bunch and thought they were outstanding. I already thought that West Hartford Center was kind of a cool place, but when the West Hartford Bridgewater Chocolate store first opened, I knew it for sure. With its beautiful chocolates displayed like expensive jewelry, the West Hartford store feels like a high end chocolate boutique that would be at home in Beverly Hills. Sometimes, I feel under-dressed when I go. I'm afraid they're going to kick me out Julia Roberts in Pretty Woman-style, but the BC staff never makes me feel that way. They welcome me and offer me a free taste of chocolate. It always works. I buy a few extra. If you like things done in a classic way, but at the highest possible level, BC is your place. The chocolates have perfect shapes and colors. If you don't like the look of a circle with uniform color, they've got stripes. Don't like long, flat and smooth pieces, they'll rough it up with some chopped nuts. You only want to buy chocolate in the shape of a top hat? That's kind of weird, but they've got you anyway. The toffee breaks in your teeth the exact way you had hoped it would. The nuts and caramel in the turtles crunch and stretch simultaneously. The caramels ooze when you bite into them. The milk chocolate tastes smooth and sweet, and the dark chocolate tastes deeply bittersweet and complex. You can buy curated boxes of chocolates in very cool boxes if you're buying gifts. You can also order by the piece and select the exact ones you want. BC has things like bars and containers of chocolate covered pretzels. Love the pretzels. Even BC's bags are classy. Food-wise, Bridgewater Chocolates is one of the most respected names outside of CT. It's 5 Stars for me every time.

Coffee samples also greet you at the door alongside the pleasant enough staff. There are member discount sales and you can pre-order online items for pickup.

Weather was perfect and there was plenty of space for us; they told me that Thursday lunchtime was the best for a group. Most of us sat at one of the round booths with two eating outside. Most purchased their lunches from Small State Provisions with the Jambon Beurre the most ordered. Others inside had the Salmon Toast or Spicy Roast Beef. Outsiders ordered from Twin Beaks and had the Caesar Salad Fried Chicken Wrap. Everyone enjoyed what they had and all commented on the size of offerings and great price level. Cafē Pausa served most drink orders. They were amazed at the service and truly astounded that there was free water! Many commented they when they had family visitors at the retirement community they would ask to be taken there for lunch again. A very successful day which will be put on our schedule to come back as a group in some months to come. They all felt very welcome which is not always the reaction to a group of elders coming for a lunch date. PS: I brought back a chocolate chip cookie again as they are delectable and also got a Charcuterie Box to go which will be my meal tomorrow.
