    Aztec hot chocolate was delicious! Love the mural on the side of the shop, super cute photo op.

    Maple Ice Cream.

    This is about as tourist trap as it gets. The Millennial Chum and I stopped in here on our way into Stowe this past weekend - I saw signs for cheese and chocolate and insisted this would be an ideal location for local swag (it wasn't; the mugs in the adjoining shop were $44. Insane.). This establishment is located in a building with several other stores, but it didn't take long for us to organically wander into this one. As mentioned in pretty much every other review, it's a lot to take in, chocolate-wise. There's a self-serve chocolate variety bin area where you can scoop out preferred flavors at $31/lb (yikes), along with tons of displays with wrapped bars and bags of individual candies. Unsurprisingly, there was a strong maple bent to a lot of the inventory. I wasn't really in the mood for chocolate at the specific moment in time (and the Millennial Chum was right - it was overpriced for sure, no matter how good the overall quality of the chocolate) and opted for the ice cream, which was nestled in the back corner of the store. There were a few people behind the long counter but I was impressed that the minute I placed myself in front of the ice cream, someone immediately popped over to assist - some vigilance points there for sure. Since I was still getting my Vermont sea legs, I went with a small cup of maple ice cream (I think $5ish). Really hit the spot. You can taste the artisanal/small batch goodness of this ice cream - just the right amount of creamy, just the right amount of density. While I was still in the middle of consuming the ice cream, I noticed a framed shout-out by the door indicating this ice cream had won a few local awards. Unsurprisingly. The Millennial Chum grabbed a few peanut butter cups, but no one was interested in emptying their wallet before we'd even gotten to our official destination of the trip. We noticed after we got into town that this is a mini chain; there was a super cute location just off the main drag in Stowe located in a ye olde home with a porch that I would have preferred to go to instead purely for ambiance purposes. It's pricy; I would be surprised if locals are a significant part of the clientele here. As an aside, I did grab a chocolate mint crunch bar from a local mini mart later in the day, which was tasty but honestly nothing that would significantly set it apart from any other quasi-bougie chocolate. I was pleasantly surprised by the ice cream though.

    We were on vacation and visited this location because we were nearby to see the tallest filing cabinet. The space itself is beautiful, but I wasn't particularly fond of the chocolate. If you're short on time, I'd recommend skipping this stop. However, if you're interested in trying their chocolate, you can find it in some local stores.

    This is a chocolate lovers paradise! Upon opening the door, you must walk up a ramp to enter into a gorgeous chocolate shop. It is cozy and inviting inside with many chocolate options, such as spicy cayenne chocolate bars and truffles shaped and named after iconic Vermont scenes. As expected, there is maple syrup, as well as Lake Champlain merchandise. The items are pricey here, but wonderful atmosphere and delicious chocolate are worth it!

    This is a cute store when you're driving around Burlington in Waterbury Center on Route 200. They sell chocolates, ice cream, souvenirs, and hot chocolate. There's a lot of parking and you can sit inside. Service was good. Their hot chocolate is good.

    Delicious chocolates, so many varieties to choose from. Chocolate bars, with milk chocolate and different levels of Dark chocolate. Peanut butter, caramel, toffee, maple and all kinds of great flavors and fillings. Specialty candies like toffee crunch! Expensive but delicious. In the back was coffee! If you try one thing, try the Vermont Maple Latte.... amazing. The employees were all very nice and did a great job with our large group.

    Stopped in to try the chocolates. They had a sample, which was tasty. The chocolates were expensive, but I couldn't resist getting a few peanut butter cups. YUM! I'd love to have more.

    The apple cider caramel was a solid favorite of ours!

    Delicious chocolate and friendly staff. We heard about a factory tour, but it was actually more of a seated presentation. As said, the chocolate is great but I found some items a little overpriced.

    I'm a cheese head…read more So when my friend was making our itinerary for a trip to VT, I was really excited to try this place! Weather got a little hariy getting there with the slushy roads, but we made it! It's pretty remote location with no street lights, so if driving in the dark look for the signs to get there and trust your GPS. There's a large parking lot across from the entrance to the little store/shop. The shop is actually the owners old family home I belive. We arrived pretty much at closing time, but we were still welcomed warmly. We got a cheese & maple syrup tasting which was yum and informative, and the staff member that did it was really nice, I forgot her name, but see photo below. One of the cheeses has won a cheese competition, very cool. We also got to meet the owner, but she was busy getting Christmas orders together. I perused all of the cheeses I wanted and settled on 4. We got to try 2 out of the 4 from the cheese sampling. The nice lady that checked me out even gave me some nice to-go samples as well. The smoked cheese was my fav, and the sage. But I enjoyed them all. I was able to easily fly home to TX with them due to the cold weather of the season. After the tasting, we got to peruse the store. They have so much other stuff to buy in additon to cheese and maple, tons of knick-knacks and gifts and merch. We didn't get to explore the farm after since it was pitch black when we left, too bad. Enjoy!

No other syrup…read morecompares and I always go out of my way to visit anytime I'm anywhere in the greater New England area! Sadly this year I didn't get to visit New England - but lucky for me Sugarbush ships nationwide!! So I tried it out and ordered some of their syrup and my fave cheeses. Ordering online via their website was super easy. I ordered my fave dark variety of their maple syrup and 4 cheeses: horseradish cheddar, jalapeño cheddar, sharp cheddar, and Monterey Jack. Their horseradish cheddar is my absolute fave - a wonderful kick of the spicy horseradish blends so well with their rich cheddar. I really love the jalapeño cheddar too - packed full of flavor with just the right amount of kick - not overwhelming but enough to taste it. The other two were great as well - you can definitely tell their cheeses are made fresh on site - flavors are just next level compared to industrial-manufactured cheeses from the grocery store chains. And the maple syrup is also in a league of its own - nothing mass-manufactured from any grocery chain holds a candle to the rich, complex flavors and velvety texture. The syrups also last quite a long time so I'm able to keep my stocks full yearly! Since I was ordering cheese with a long way to travel, and it was still quite warm in parts of the US, their website suggested adding one of their insulated shipping boxes for an extra fee of $8. I didn't want to risk ruining my cheese so I did and all arrived in excellent condition! They pack it in extra insulated styrofoam with ice packs. So it's definitely worth it imo. Next year I'll be in Maine in October so I'll definitely be planning an extra day or two to pop over to Sugarbush on my way back out haha!! See yall next fall!

The problem I had with Stowe Mercantile is that I found out they severely price-gauge the consumer. Let's be honest... I'm sure I've overpaid for plenty of stuff in my time. Of course I have, and I'd do it again if I really want to. However, something just rubbed me the wrong way in this place. I was looking at some "Princess" game for my granddaughter. I saw the retail price was $14, and the store sticker price was $21 or $22. I just put the game down when I saw that... and they were blatant about it... didn't even try to cover over the retail price. They placed the store sticker right next to the original price. That was a bridge too far, and I just got pissed off and didn't want to support this store... so I didn't.

The smell of fresh chocolate hits you the second you open the door and instantly triggers a craving for pure sweetness. It is a total sugar lover's paradise. We started with a mint chocolate chip milkshake that can simply be summed up as a masterpiece. Easy five stars on that alone. Next up was a double scoop on a waffle cone, which was huge and made to perfection. The chocolate chip flavor was just okay, but the strawberry? It tasted like they literally went out to a farm, picked the strawberries, and turned them into ice cream right there. That flavor deserves a 10 out of 5. Since Yelp caps me at five stars, five stars it shall be. If you're anywhere near Burlington and need a sugar fix, do not pass this place up.

It was really good. Unfortunately it was too hot of a day to purchase chocolate of any kind. We were still going to be walking around and it would melt for sure before we got it back to our place. The chocolates did look really good. We sat outside in their seating area, just outside the door. Wishing them all the best in their business endeavors.
