I definitely recommend coming here. Fantastic selection of chocolate and chocolate adjacent items. They have hinge gym in hot chocolate and ice cream to offer at the one kiosk bar. The flagship store also has clothing you can buy in. But just like an Adidas or Nike flagship store, prices are very expensive here. For 1 lb of chocolates. $36 is damn expensive. However, the staff is lovely. So if you love chocolate and you have the wallet for it, come here and indulge. read more

While the chocolate is delicious, it is ridiculously expensive! I expected it to be a bit more reasonable as we were at the source, but all bags were at least $18 and individual pieces were at least $3. Nice place to stop if you love chocolate and want to grab a piece or two, just be prepared to reach into your pockets. read more

Lake Champlain Chocolates - Chocolatiers & Shops Near Me - Burlington, Vermont

All of the Lake Champlain Chocolate locations are the same. They're all very expensive. This one had the factory second chocolates and a larger store front than others but nothing special to this location versus the others. The chocolate is good but not particularly unique or special. $5 for a tiny chocolate bar is very pricey. $4 for a tiny truffle is a lot. The "award winning" ice cream was icy and not the freshest. The waffle cone and chocolate praline syrup were the saving graces. The hot cocoa mix is the same price everywhere. The factory second chocolates were still very overpriced. read more

Definitely a pricey indulgence, but it's worth every bite for the experience! We got the vodka cherry cordials, a champagne truffle, their seasonal marzipan, and some assorted slabs of chocolate bark - and they were all pretty sweet, but not overly heavy! I was pleasantly surprised with their alcohol-infused bites as I was hardly able to taste the alcohol, but I was able to feel its presence with each bite. The staff were also pretty friendly in this rather laidback environment, assisting me and my fiancé with whatever questions or curiosities we might have had. Would come back again if I'm in the area! read more

My absolute favorite American chocolate company. I love their chocolate truffles. You can order from their website. Well-packaged during shipping and the smell...OMG, it's chocolate Heaven! Definitely on the pricier side but for gifts and special occasions, these chocolates are sure to impress. I haven't been to their stores in Vermont, but their website is easy to navigate. The box that the chocolates are stored in is very nice. Just the smell of the box tells you there are amazing chocolate treats inside. read more

Arrived late and with chocolate bloom. Despite the chocolate arriving with a best by date in March 2026, our chocolate arrived with chocolate bloom and is not what we expected from LCC. read more

A remodel the place, way more space, but you don't get to look at the staff making chocolate anymore. Wonderful chocolate bars, come to get the second which are much cheaper. Ice cream is also very underrated, potentially better than Ben and Jerry's read more

Lake Champlain Chocolates - Chocolatiers & Shops Near Me - Burlington, Vermont

when we walked into the shop it was so cozy and cute, and they had a wide variety of chocolate. we were asking questions about the chocolate and sourcing of the products that they use and the staff was extremely kind and quite helpful. their products are slightly pricy but all of their products are well sourced and well worth the cost. I will be coming back here when I am in town soon again. read more

The shop is clean and beautiful. The people working here were so-so but I didn't really need "service" except to pick out my truffles so it was ok. I sometimes like when people are not personable so I don't have to be personable back. The items in here are quite pricey. Tourist trap vibes for sure but we got some items that were pretty tasty and my mom loved the chocolate covered cherries we got her. I wouldn't say to not come in because sometimes you just have to pay a pretty penny for things like this. They wouldn't charge this much if they couldn't. The "seconds" area is great! Discounted items because they aren't "pretty" but they still taste good and that's all that matters. read more

If you like chocolates this is the spot. The have a large selections of caramels, truffles, and chocolate covered fruits, pretzels and marshmallows.

I love Lake Champlain Chocolates! They have an on-site store at this location which also serves as their chocolate making facility. Patrons can get a glimpse of the master chocolate artists " in action!" I also love their dedication to the ever changing unique artwork which changes each season. This year I purchased their small valentines chocolate box! In addition, if you cannot visit this site; some of their chocolates are available at Whole Foods Markets-usually near the "checkout counter." The chocolates are also available on their website. read more

Bring back the Belgian Chocolate ice cream! It was exceptional! LCC no longer uses Belgian chocolate for this flavor and the difference is obvious to those of us who enjoyed it for so many years. Not sure what the reason was for the change, but the taste and the consistency now is just different, no longer special. Now it's just fairly good chocolate ice cream. read more

I have been coming to Lake Champlain Chocolate since I was an elementary schooler. The quality of their food have never disappointed, whether it is chocolates, ice cream, or coffee. The customer service is always great. Today our server was kind, enthusiastic, and happy to help us. Over all a great experience. read more

Lake Champlain Chocolates has always been a place to go to get a treat, and it's consistently a wonderful experience. This time we got a lesson from the head barista Adrienne about how to make coffee, and what the cafe stands for. The staff was so accommodating and kind, and really strived to make your experience wonderful! My iced hazelnut latte was delicious and tasted like a dessert. It's very fun to walk around and look at all the beautifully placed chocolates. The prices are a little high, but it's what you would expect for good quality drinks. read more

Adrian, our barista, was lovely. She was welcoming and accommodating. I brought a class of high school students to the cafe. They explained about basic coffee culture, and had us taste test products. Delicious! I highly recommend this place. read more

I got a hot chocolate and it was delicious! I'm pretty sure all hot drinks are given the choice of homemade marshmallows or whipped cream. It was delicious! I'd say the prices are average, 4-5 dollars for each drink. There was plenty of places to sit and the people working were very friendly! read more

Had a great time on the factory tour! I went back in early March before the world changed and had a nice tour where they taught me all about how chocolate is made, gave samples, and showed me the production area. I bought a bunch of chocolates and loved them all, especially the apple cider filled chocolate (it was a while ago, I don't remember exactly what it was but that was my favorite). I definitely recommend this as a spot for any tourist or visitor to Burlington! read more

Beautiful chocolates in the glass counter enclosures, truffles of all kinds, and a nice coffee bar in back, nice little story board outside for people with youngsters. read more

People were great. Chocolate was great. However, all this was a flagship store. Ads said there would be free chocolate, kindof tour and certain art work. None of that happened. Was told they redid store. Was disappointed. However, had an awesome cup of hot chocolate served by friendly people. Bought some amazing chocolate to share. Still a good experience. read more

Friendly staff and lots of goodies. Just walking in you smell chocolate. I stop here when I'm in town to pick up treats for friends and family in western NY. I always get a hot chocolate beverage to walk around with while I shop. Plus there is a discount area that has some great items. If you like truffles.... This is your stop. read more

A must-visit stop for visitors and locales alike. The "factory seconds" selection is extensive as are their more bespoke chocolates. I selected a dozen chocolate covered cherries to share with friends. A pop of cordial with a rich chocolate coating made for an earthy and sweet bite, not at all cloying sweet as one finds in mass-marketed versions. They were divine! read more

Quaint little shop. They no longer do the tours but that's okay. You can do a self video tour and get your pieces of chocolate.

Stopped into Lake Champlain Chocolates on Sunday afternoon. Enjoyed a few sweet treats as we explored Burlington. Quality: Tried some different chocolate options as well as a Small Hot Chocolate. They have lots of truffles, bark, and bars on display. I found the Pumpkin Truffle and Dark Chocolate Raspberry to be my favorite of the bunch I sampled. The Small Hot Chocolate was also quite good, we stuck with Traditional, but I was very curious about the other options. Quantity: A Small Hot Chocolate to share was perfect as it is very rich. Value: $4.25 for a Small Hot Chocolate. Assorted prices for different chocolate pieces. Ambiance: Lake Champlain Chocolates has two locations in Burlington, we visited the production facility location. They have a large room, that has all the chocolate options on display as well as a drink counter. Inside they have some seating as well as a few tables outside. I believe they also run tours and tastings at certain times. Crowd: Only two other guests on Sunday afternoon. Service: Everyone we interacted with was very helpful and kind. Parking: Large private parking lot. read more

Amazing chocolates! Super friendly and helpful staff. The staff offered great suggestions such as their sweet and pillowy marshmallows (even offering us a taste!) and explained the upcoming events as well as the current offerings during the pandemic. We came for the self-guided factory "tour," but during the pandemic that isn't much. It's really just looking through the window at the factory. For some chocolate on a budget be sure to check out their factory seconds. We were able to get 2 packs of ten truffles for $15! We also picked up some specialty chocolates -- chocolate dipped apricots and chocolate covered apple cider caramels which tasted strongly of apple cider. The chocolate is tempered to perfection and melts easily, so if it's hot out be sure to bring an insulated container. Although the factory tour wasn't what we expected, I would still recommend Champlain Chocolates Factory due to their melt-in-your mouth chocolates and friendly staff. read more

The shop was beautiful and very clean. The chocolate, as always, was fantastic. However, as an out of towner, I was very much disappointed in the customer service. The young lady serving us was not personable and made us feel like we were bothering her by checking out. read more

I have loved Lake Champlain chocolates ever since we were a client of a Burlington Company that would send us some so a visit to Burlington had to include a stop here! Tours are available Monday-Friday but if you cannot make it during the week, free tastings are available on the weekends from 11-5. Yummy!! If you buy four bars, you get the fifth free but the challenge is deciding which five to get!! Well worth the stop! read more

We did make the trip to the Church Street store in Burlington Vt. There Ice Cream was very good but, be prepared to spend $20 bucks for two ice cream cones each in a waffle cone. read more

I got some of the best chocolate bars I've had in a long time from where while I was on vacation. The coconut dark chocolate bar was amazing! I took some home and am worrying about rationing them so I don't run out too fast. I brought friends/family home some of the dark chocolate and maple caramel bars and everyone that had it loved it. I highly recommend going here for souvenirs on vacation or just to get a good specialty candy bar if you're a local. It's neat to see the chocolate making process through the window that they have as well. There's this location and I also went into the downtown location. This one has more options because it's a bigger store but they both have a nice selection. read more

Chocolates galore, as one would expect from such a store. There were samples of a few and hot chocolate. We took a few minutes to stroll through the store, try some samples, and make our purchases. read more

Awesome place to visit!!! Very nice stop on our exploration of Burlington Vt. The Easter bunny was on the house spreading Easter cheer and they were doing free chocolate Easter egg tastings all day... there was an informative presentation on cocoa pods and plants and where chocolate comes from done and there was ice cold water to cleanse the palette with between tastings.... exquisite selection of candy in bulk, candy bars, nuggets, artisan chocolates and they had four chocolate sculptures on display. We did some shopping and got a few sales on factory seconds sales. We had fun and enjoyed our visit with the friendly chocolatiers staff. read more

Lake Champlain Chocolates - Going to the Chocolate Easter egg tasting now!!! - Chocolatiers & Shops Near Me - Burlington, Vermont

We stopped in a half hour before close and were treated like we were a problem. The girl at the ice cream counter went so far as to tell my daughter that her shake would take awhile because they had already cleaned up. Then she gave us our ice cream in cups despite asking for cones. She sighed when I asked if we could have them on top. The chocolate counter went a little better. She wasn't as annoyed we were there. She did have to stop looking at her phone before she rang us up. We spent 50+ dollars and no one greeted us, acknowledged us, or thanked us for coming. A huge disappointment for our vacation. read more

Well I had too much expectation I think when we planned for this. I am a huge chocolate lover and would have loved to see how it's made or have free samples. I did read before going that they have self guided tours for holiday season. But when I went in, the self guided tour was not even like 10 ft. Not sure what they meant by self guided tours. No samples of dif chocolates :( Either u just buy or leave. The factory wasn't operating also that you can watch chocolate being made. Utter disappointment . read more

Chocolate covered apple cider caramels. At first, I was like why? Not necessary. I was wrong and I will be back for more. They are just sweet enough and the cider pairs well with chocolate. My partner enjoyed the peanut butter cups. One can take a tour, purchase delicious seconds (the candy that isn't up to the aesthetic standards) and get chocolate in liquid form- hot chocolate, lattes and milkshakes. The staff was helpful if you have questions or need recommendations for gifts and etc. I would suggest skipping the pre packaged items if you can get them near you. However, I noticed some deals throughout the store. The chocolate caramels, nut barks and truffles will keep for a week if stored properly. Lastly, it does add up quickly, so try to not eat with your eyes! read more

We have loved LCC for a loooooong time! When we lived in Burlington, we would make it a point to bring all of our visitors to the factory store, or at the very least the location on Church St. We just brought our two small children through and were shocked by how expensive the chocolate is! Factory seconds were always reasonably priced - maybe $12/lb. it's $23/lb!!! Canisters of hot chocolate were $8 and now up to $12.50! It's outrageous. Delicious. But outrageous. We'll obviously be back next time we're in town because it's such a fun spot, but wow! read more

I was leaning towards 2 stars, but they do have a little display upstairs that offers free samples, of which one could take unfair advantage if one was so inclined, so I'm tacking one on out of guilt. As others have stated, no tours on weekends, but that makes sense since everybody needs some days off. Guess they could do Mon/Tues as an alternative but I don't want to cause a rebellion among the employees who have a good deal. The fact is, this is a perfectly nice place with good chocolate, assuming you stick to acceptable additives like caramel and nuts; they do offer a selection of weird flavors like they've been watching too much Food Network. Main problem is the price. I am NOT spending 6 bucks for a little chunky bar. Perhaps if it was mindblowing, but it's not. Just good. Check their website- $50 a pound for English toffee. Whaaaaat?! Now go to the See's website for a superior product at half the price. Or better yet, call my niece who makes it herself and try to get on her Christmas mailing list. You know which one I did. read more
