Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory is an international chocolate chainstore that first opened in…read moreColorado in 1981. Their website says that they use generations-old recipes and that they handcraft chocolate in copper kettles. This location is inside the Erie mall. When my husband and I walked into the store, an employee looked at us but did not say hello. I think that English is not her first language, but she could have greeted us. The display cases showed products such as buckeyes, orange cream, cherry cordials, chocolate-covered pretzels, bark, caramel apples, chocolate-covered strawberries, truffles, pecan clusters, fudges, etcetera. A menu listed prices such as $24.95 per pound for most products and $5.50+ per caramel apple. I selected one chocolate peanut butter cookie and one caramel pretzel bark, and my husband chose one chocolate-covered Twinkie. We both thought that these treats tasted fresh and sweet, and I would rate them as 4 stars each. My husband commented that the bark was expensive.

The case was full of tempting choices, and everything looked amazing. The maple cream donut was absolute heaven -- the glaze had just the right touch of maple to balance the thick, tender dough. The edges were perfectly crispy, and the texture was unlike any donut I've ever had. The glazed twist was equally delicious. The coffee was very good, though a little too hot to enjoy right away. The only real downside was the lack of seating -- no tables or chairs inside, despite the large open lobby, and no benches outside either. We ended up eating in the car. That said, the donuts were so good we went back in for more. Definitely worth the stop! It was so good, we brought friends with us the following morning because donuts this good need to be shared with friends. And best of all...maybe prices were insanely cheap!!! No wonder people were walking out with two and three dozen...

The prices are a bit steep, but quality of items definitely makes it worth it. The actual interface could use some tweaking. Which I'm surprised hasn't been updated and they've been open for a while now. It feels glitchy and any descriptions are lacking. Their fb page is usually updated, but it would be nice to see it on the order screen vs having to also look online. The items come out cold and it does say to let them come to room temp for best flavor which is true. The difference is worth the wait.

It's great as a high protein snack or on a salad or sandwich. They also have Majestic fresh baked bread available on certain days which typically sells out by the end of the day. The Co-op also has a kitchen that serves homemade soups, wraps, sandwiches and toast. They also make smoothies and fresh pressed juice. I tend to come here more for the fresh food than groceries but it's great that they have both available! This location does have a designated parking lot that's easy to find and you can always find a spot. The employees are always super friendly and helpful and the store is very clean.

We had the buffalo GF wrap, the Falafel hummus wrap, Turkey Sandwich, Lentil Soup, GF and Vegan donuts. We also had the smoothies-which were ok but not my favorite. You can do VG, GF or just regular on their foods. I would say you get more bang for your buck with the wrap. The little area to eat is nice and airy and has a nice natural vibe. Service is excellent. It is pricey but if you have trouble eating places, this is where to go to treat yourself.
