Over the years, I've stopped in from time to time, and always leave with something easy to enjoy. Today, that included a small turtle (dark chocolate with caramel and pecans) for my mom; and for me a thin mint, a maple cream, and the substantial tiramisu truffle. It's good to be an adult in this store, now that I can have whatever I want. All of these treats were less than $6 total, so the prices beat the competition of other designer confectionaries in the area. How were they? The mint was minty without tasting like toothpaste or York peppermint, always my litmus test for a quality mint confection. The maple was mapley, set in such a way so as not to ooze all over when you bite only half instead of cramming the whole thing down your gully. The turtle was generous in its pecan offering, with a sufficient amount of caramel, but perhaps containing too little dark chocolate, leaving this turtle just off balance, though still enjoyable with a fine finish. And the impressive tiramisu truffle that I'm pairing at this very moment with a fine wine? Mmm...tasty, but where is that undeniable and irresistible tiramisu flavor? My tastebuds cannot find. So, a slight disappoint, but nothing to cry over. Today's selections do leave me wondering whether Sweet's confections are handmade or done by machine. If I were a betting man, I would say by machine. The tastes were just a tad too uniform, and I was looking for those subtle variations and imperfections that suggest hand crafting, but did not find. Nonetheless, not a bit was wasted, every bit was appreciated. Something Sweet has been around for quite some time, so I am both shocked and pleased to do their first review. Not many shops in the Powerhouse stand the test of time, but this one has, and that fact should be testament enough to their quality to dollar. They are staged right at the front entrance, so grab a treat to energize your walk around this lovely mall.

The owner let me know about all of the types of candies available: from the hard candies to the Licorice Lagoon to the massive selection of gummies to the chocolates to the rock candies and to bubble gums to sours to lollipops to international finds (including from Europe, Dubai and Mexico) ... it's a small space but there won't be much that you can't find if you are having a hankering. The freeze-dried candies are delicious: very flavorful. Go to Sophia's Candy Corner on Facebook to see featured candy items and events. She's also big on car events out in the parking lot in front of the shop, in season.

The building looked historic and the farm market was a delight. They had flowers, fresh produce, various goodies, and even an ice cream shop in the back. The people working there were friendly also. I love that small town vibe. On this visit, I purchased tomatoes, onion, lemon cucumbers (yes, that is a thing and it's delicious), and whoopie pies. The ice cream was good too, I had the banana pie. They also had candy for sale. There were a couple of tables you can enjoy your ice cream at. Overall, another awesome farm market that is affordable and has high quality products.

I've never once been disappointed with anything I've eaten here and I recommend this place to anyone looking for excellent Thai food.

We got the kids some sweets and the adults among us grabbed a few sandwiches. The sweets went over swimmingly, but the sandwiches were awful. They were very expensive, not flavorful, and extremely basic (think soggy bread with a lot of hummus but not much else). This place seems to be a great option for birthday cakes and morning pastries, but I would advise getting your sandwiches elsewhere.

We came here because they were the closest spot that sells Cabot cheese since we couldn't get up to the actual Cabot factory. All the reviews talking about the miles of cheese samples were not to be found. They sold some cheeses in the back but it wasn't a very big selection. I also found them to be no different than the Cabot cheese sold in my local grocery store back home in CT. Is that just what Cabot does? Is there nothing special about Cabot when you get it in VT? Cabot signs all over making it know they're an official retailer of Cabot cheese but then no different than a grocery store selection. They have miles of maple syrup to select from but you pretty much just have to blindly choose one since you can't taste any samples. Was really excited about this place but a letdown for sure. May not be any fault of theirs, but I would skip this shop for one that allows samples unless you know what you're buying.

I'm adding this review late because of a second recent incident. About a year ago my wife went…read moreinto the store to shop while I stayed out with the dog. When my wife came out she was in tears and extremely upset. My wife is about 5' tall and Vietnamese. She speaks English well and is friendly to everyone. It took some coaxing but I discovered she went to the 14 items lane and apparently actually had 16 items . The woman who had been extremely friendly to the previous shopper became extremely rude and even hostile for the crime of 2 extremely small items over the max that my wife missed because of how they had stacked in the cart. When my wife left said woman became extra nice to the shopper behind her. We have had many good experiences and many of the workers are friendly and show no signs of bias. We reported this incident to the store and no idea if there was action taken within. The second incident happened today and mirrors that of another Asian shopper who also left a comment. We will pay that review separately. It's experienced like these that will drive us from shopping at a store. If the store were to take a proactive approach to improving their inclusivity training and address biased employees we might consider returning.
