    Great tasting chocolate.
    Ken A.

    Love their fudge. We went here specifically to get some. Of course we looked around and wound up picking up a few other chocolate items. All is on display with the prices so it made it easy to order and know what each item was and how they were bundled.

    I made a pit stop in Mystic CT on my way to MA. I found this chocolate shop with tons of items to choose from Apparently, it is not a secret since the place was packed. I can understand why. Tons of tasty treats to bring home to the guys. We all enjoyed the chocolate. I'll definitely make another pit stop when I'm in the area. Yum!

    Had lunch at the old mystic village w friends and we saw the signs and were drown in to stop in for the fresh chocolate dipped frozen bananas for dessert. What a great decision and a must stop for $3.99 it's well worth it. Very refreshing on a hot day. You can choose either the mild chocolate or dark chocolate. You won't be disappointed. The had 2 girls working but alittle slow service. But wasn't bad as they have a great AC system and was very cold waiting.

    Yum! I'm still snacking on the delicious chocolate I got from this spot during Mystic's Garlic Fest last week! The frozen banana I got was fresh and delicious too - their advertisement outside had me craving it! I only wished they had a little extra help due to the festival. My companion decided to not get any counter items due to a slow moving line and only one person working.

    This is definitely not the best chocolate ever, but they do offer a great selection of treats, and it's CT's largest retail chocolate manufacturer with 8 stores sprinkled around the state. It's not cheap so when we do go we like to get the container of the "broken" pieces which may consist of 1 or several different kinds of candies. We tried the coconut clusters and were not impressed, but the truffles were excellent. They also have fudge and taffy. I would recommend stopping in.

    Munson's is a Connecticut based Chocolate company, with only eight stores in our little state. I've received and given many Munson's gifts throughout the years. I really like their store in Mystic. Mystic is all about local, small businesses and this is a great place for one of their stores. As per usual there are lots of options of chocolate here, especially now that it's the holiday season. You'll find plenty of dark chocolate and milk chocolate choices, and some in between. On my recent visit to this store I got a half pound of dark chocolate covered raisins. I've always loved this, and sometimes if not stored correctly the chocolate is too hard, or too sticky. These are just perfect. I really enjoyed. The young man, was pleasant and efficient. There are lots of gift ready items, or items sold by weight. I highly recommend this Munson's location, in lovely Old Mystic Village.

    A very Quaint Chocolate Shop! Well displayed Well Organized and it's product very tasty. A small but nice location for its visitors.

    So many yummy treats
    Jennifer M.

    Love this chocolate shop! So many delicious treats! Totally loved their s'mores candy, the malted milk balls, turtles, sea salt & caramel chocolates, peanut butter cup and so much more! Typical kid in the candy shop.

    Beautifully packaged delicious (and pricey) chocolates. What drew me in was the frozen banana sign. A frozen banana dipped in your choice of milk or dark chocolate and rolled in either peanuts or almonds. It was delicious.

    Always a delicious place to stop. Make sure to see if there's a "Seconds" rack. Great value.

    The Shipwright's Daughter - crispy fried oysters

    The Shipwright's Daughter

    I am absolutely obsessed with everything here. I made reservations for 5:45 pm on a Monday night…read more We actually came a little before 5:15 pm, because I was absolutely starving, and they were so kind/accommodating. They seated us right away! I love the vibes of the place, it's beautiful and inviting, but not pretentious. Our waitress was the best. She knew it was our anniversary and gave us a little bubbly to toast to. We also made it for happy hour (5 pm - 6 pm on weekdays, and 5 pm - 6 pm on weekends only at the bar)! All the small plates on the left side of the menu were half off! We immediately ordered drinks (the $10 happy hour cocktail - a blackberry bourbon smash for my husband, and a mocktail for me). We then ordered the shishito peppers, 2 of the pickled beet deviled eggs, and the roasted oysters with chili oil. They came out super fast, and it was delicious. The shishitos had that great char flavor along with a great dipping sauce. You can never go wrong with deviled eggs. Then we decided to order the fried oysters and the bread with corn butter. The fried oysters were the star of the small plates. Cooked so well. Freshly fried, you bite into it and it was juicy and delicious on the inside. Just so good. The bread and butter? Ugh, my dream butter and bread. Just so delicious. The butter was slightly sweet from the corn and had flakes of sea salt on tip, making it the perfect sweet and salty combo. We also got the salad (local produce!), and our waitress knew we were sharing ao she had the kitchen put it on 2 plates. Such a great touch. The salad was fantastic. After eating lobster rolls for a day, this was a much needed salad. It was refreshing, bright, and light! For our main entrees, we got the seared local squid and the strip steak. It was INCREDIBLE. Everything had so much flavor. The squid was cooked well, wasnt chewy. Just delicious. The crispy rice was the BEST THING I HAVE EVER EATEN. I wish we could order bowls of it. My husband finished it, couldn't get enough of it. The steak was fantastic as well. The potato with the bearnise sauce was so dreamy. The little onions on the steak, all the little touches were so well done. We knew we had to get dessert. We got a scoop of the black raspberry ice cream, a scoop of corn and blueberry swirl ice cream, and the lavender honey panna cotta. Guys. You 100% must get dessert. The corn blueberry ice cream was unreal. I dont know how you get all that flavor into ice cream. They dont skimp on the honey on the panna cotta. And it went so well with the more mild panna cotta. The black raspberry was a little icy because they froze whole blackberries in it, but at least you know they were trying to make sure you got blackberries in there. With happy hour, the bill wasn't too bad. This was hands down our favorite meal of our week long road trip. I can't wait to come back. I would 100% make a detour to eat here. Parking is pretty difficult around here. I would probably just Uber if I was coming here on a weekend. I need to come here for breakfast at some point.

    I really didn't want to write this review, but potential patrons should know what they can expect…read morewhen working with the event staff at Shipwright's Daughter - if they plan to have a private dining experience and event there. My husband and I got married last December. We decided we would hold off on celebrating with our family and invite everyone out from California to join us for a weekend full of activities in Connecticut and a special dinner at Shipwright's Daughter during Memorial Day weekend. We contacted the restaurant's events team to work out high level details starting in late January - to book a private room and hold a date and time. From the get go, the communication we received from the event staff was dismal to say the least. Not only did the events manager misquote the estimate for the room reservation, she came back and asked for a much higher price (up charging by an additional 30% of the original minimum fee) two months after we confirmed and discussed the date. She then explained it was due to the holiday weekend. Our date had never changed from the moment we inquired, so we would have appreciated knowing this upfront. Over the course of several months (and an absurd number of emails and a few calls), we tried to solidify the menu and wine selection and made multiple attempts before hearing back from the team. It was about two weeks before the big event when we were able to confirm a menu. It was about four days before the event that we heard back from the beverage director, but by then, my husband and I had already decided we would bring our own wine bottles, not wanting to leave it to chance with this team. I won't go into further details about the frustration we felt regarding their system for communications (they use an internal system that doesn't make it easy for guests to know who is copied on emails and who sees what). That is something I hope they will work out. When the big day came, I walked into the room and noticed there were a number of chairs missing, so I counted the chairs. They had an incorrect number of chairs for adults and not enough high chairs for the toddlers. We had requested a specific number of these chairs (weeks prior and mentioned it multiple times in writing), and I thought it was safe to assume that this was a basic checklist item for events set up. I was dumbfounded in the moment. I couldn't help but wonder what else they were going to miss or mess up that evening. It was disappointing to have our family members wait while the staff scrambled to pull other chairs into the room. From the time it took to take everyone's order from the set menu, the time between courses being served, and the attentiveness for pouring water and wine - all of it was a miss. The level of hospitality that we expected from a restaurant so recognized for its incredible food and approach to sustainable sourcing was completely overshadowed by the lack of attention and care by its staff - since day one of planning this event. Even a few of our family members commented on this during the dinner. At the end of the day, we felt like an obligation rather than welcomed guests, and that is mainly why I'm leaving this review. We had been patrons of Shipwright's a couple of times prior to this event, which is why we chose this establishment - to represent the best that Connecticut has to offer, when it comes to a dining experience we could vouch for. We no longer feel that we can recommend this restaurant. If you care about hospitality, I would recommend looking elsewhere.
