They have a really good selection of chocolates, truffles, and their most famous flavor is Mint Smoothie. They offer prepackaged Mint Smoothie Ice Cream in 2 sizes. Trust me, it's worth the calories. Lol They have many flavors of chocolate truffles like peanut butter, hazelnut, almond, coconut, lemon cream, etc. and the they come in both milk chocolate and dark chocolate versions. You can also buy packaged chocolate truffles or build your own package or gift basket to your liking. It's so fun wondering around the store and checking out the gift boxes. All the customers seemed to be enjoying it. The staff are very friendly and care about providing great service. read more

If you are travelling to (or through) Stratford this is a must to add to your list. They make the absolute BEST chocolate mint smoothies. This place has been here forever and is very well known in the area. If chocolate mint isn't your thing, not to worry as they have many other kinds to choose from. All equally tasty and delicious. Even candy options. This is also a great place to pick up gifts if you're looking for something local and unique. They have single serve items that would make great wedding and party favors. They even have a whole section devoted to it. One last thing, because I'm sure someone out there would appreciate it. Yes? No? Possibly? I'm sure everyone knows by now that Stratford is the hometown of Justin Bieber, and that he also loves this place, as he famously visits from time to time. Google it if you're interested, loads of pics out there. Another great tip if you've made it this far -- try the coffee. You're welcome. read more

I grew up in Stratford and have been all over the world and tried their chocolate - and I have to say - Rheo Thompson offers THE best chocolates - whether it be the mint smoothies, or the wider variety of dark and milk chocolate assorted boxes. It is just unbelievable quality and indulgence. It is truly a unique and distinguished experience! Proud to know this quality comes from my home town!!! read more

Rich beautiful chocolate. Mmmmnn! My b&b provided me with their signature "dream"at breakfast and I had to stop by the shop on my way home to share with my family. read more

SECOND TO NONE!! Don't limit yourself to the mint smoothies, they make over 100 confections. Try the caramels (6 different flavors!) or coffee bean bark. Mint smoothie bars do come in both milk and dark chocolate and they also make their bars in orange and raspberry. Chocolate covered nuts, fruits and cream centres... all to-die-for :) And did I mention the chocolate covered pretzels? Delicious! For those not into chocolate, they have many different hard candies, fruit jellies, pecan rolls, toffee and nutty pop. Even better, their store is loaded with beautifully packaged gift items that range in price from $2 - $50 and everything in between. All their products are made on-site. Not only does everything look beautiful, the wonderful aroma will entice you and the quality will keep you coming back. read more

Best chocolate in Stratford. Be sure to get chocolate covered mints. Great for presents as many candies are in attractive boxes. I'm hoping they get more chocolate sauce soon as that is the best read more

When you drive through Stratford, its pretty hard not to stop at Rheo Thompson. It is famous for it's amazing chocolates and candies! Every time I've visited (even when I admit I've been before) I've been offered a sample chocolate. That makes me happy. There are tons of great opportunities for gifting here. They make up their chocolates and candy with cute little packages. From teacher gifts to gifts for kids, there's something for everyone. They also display their wedding chocolates and the options they have available which was really cool. You can also come to Rheo Thompson and get a tour of their facility, since all the chocolate is made on site. The woman there spoke of different types of tours at different costs which includes a different amount of candy to sample. Next time you go, try out the mint smoothie chocolate, it's a classic. The chocolate is so smooth. I bought a chocolate bar and even though it was a warm day, it still was so solid, not like the waxy chewy stuff you get at the corner store. 5 YUMMY stars! read more

Whenever I'm in Stratford, I have to pick up a box or two of chocolates from Rheo Thompson's. They're delicious! My favorite is the peanut butter chocolates - so smooth and delicious. read more

I will say, I really do think it depends what you have, but honestly, I wasn't too impressed. Tried a few of the bonbons, but didn't like any of them and the dark chocolate just seemed a bit too sweet. The only one I really liked was the meltie, which was quite good. There service is fairly good though and the store is very welcoming. read more

What can I say? I prefer Rheo Thompson to any other chocolate that I've ever had including Godiva, Laura Secord, Ghirdelli etc. The dark chocolate mint smoothie and the dark chocolate peanut butter not to mention the vanilla cream caramels make life absolutely perfect. I've gotten friends from Charleston, SC, and Thunder Bay addicted. It makes the perfect hospitality gift when travelling and staying with friends. read more

Boyfriend bought me a box of their mint smoothies and they are just to die for. Also had a really friendly vibe - we were in for a play and passed by, unfortunately they were closed but an associate saw us and offered to let us in if we knew what we wanted (we didn't). Hope to come back when they're open! read more

The mint smoothies should be illegal, pure and simple! They are very bad for my waistline.

Love this store! Their gifts and displays are beautiful, especially during Christmas and Easter, but their chocolate and candies are even better! Love the mint smoothies and they also have very good sugar free chocolate for diabetics. This is a must stop for anyone in the area. read more
