Chocolate mouse
Kate P.

We were actually going to go to dancing lion for some of their delicious drinking chocolate but they were closed. We happened to drive by so thought we would pop in and take a look. This is a really cool little shop. They have much more than just chocolate and they were even playing a kids movie in the back room for the little ones. We found the guy that was working there very knowledgeable in the chocolates that they sold. He answered every question without looking anything up and really seemed to enjoy his job. Everything looked amazing, but I found myself particularly interested in the Swiss fudge. They had some really adorable chocolate mice which had the Swiss fudge inside. I had to try these! Got one for my daughter and daughter in law as well. Yes, the chocolate is a bit pricey, but the quality is the reason. The little mice, if they still have them, I highly recommend you try. The chocolate is so smooth and rich! Very delicious! I hope to go back for more!

Some nice quality chocolates. The place smells fantastic, almost 100 years I believe? 1935 (do the math...) We threw down 6 mini chocolates in about 85 seconds. Nice !

I love stopping at Van Otis Chocolates to pick up chocolate gift boxes for friends and family. Van Otis makes all of their sweet confections on the premises at this Elm Street factory location and also stocks dessert wines and Stonewall Kitchen items. The Swiss fudge is very good!!! They even make Kanine Kookies for Fido!! Van Otis Chocolates can also be purchased online at: http://www.vanotis.com Chocolate factory tours are given on Tuesdays (call for reservations). Attached to the store is the Cafe Van Otis, which is an "order at the counter" place, takeout or dine-in (small area with table seating). This cute cafe serves great grilled panini sandwiches, salads, baked goods, Starbucks Coffee drinks, tea, bottled drinks, and homemade gelato & gelato shakes. My favorite sandwich is the Smoked Turkey Panini ($5.75-turkey, fresh mozzarella, pesto spread, sliced tomatoes & sundried tomatoes on ciabatta bread), which is full of flavors and served with Wise potato chips and watermelon slices. The homemade gelato comes in two sizes: Small ($2.90-choice of 2 flavors) and Large ($3.50-choice of 3 flavors). My favorite gelato flavors are the tiramisu, peanut butter, cappuccino, and chili chocolate, rich, creamy, and very refreshing on a hot day. The Starbucks Coffee brew here has a smooth taste and doesn't have that burnt taste that you'd find at an official Starbucks company store.

Yup, back in town and the wife to get her chocolate fix here. Best chocolate around, hands down.

Been here a few times and went recently to confirm they may be racist. Woman at counter completely…read moreignore me and greeted some other customers. Another review reports this place as prejudice. I will not be back.

Incredible staff. Cannot say more about how friendly and knowledgeable and efficient this group of…read moreemployees is. WITH THAT, this stand has continued since my own mother was a child, as an active distributor/supplier for the Manchester community of beautiful, fresh, clean, LOCAL & farm-rooted items such as, but not limited to coffee, fruit, veggies, (potato/garlic/ginger/cilantro, etc.) nuts, bread, chips, floral arrangements + by 1x stem flowers daily, dairy (milk/cream/cheese). It's unbelievable that we have this type of produce to fuel our families from such locally sourced places! FLOWERS, PLANTS, AND POTTED PLANTS - THE PRICES ARE PERFECT. Would recommend stopping by here before Home Depot if you're looking for some *In-Season* plants or flowers - potted or not. Trader Joe's is beloved, but again, local, quick, easy, and kind - stop by if you may have forgotten a lemon, and check it out for yourself. ENTREPRENEURS: Kathy & Team have seamlessly and wonderfully run this place for years -- high-achieving high schoolers (bound for success & our future) who help manage the stand continuously as the most friendly environment to stroll, with (or without) your puppy dog, you're promoting new organically created initiatives from a BUSINESS standpoint and would welcome your product on their check out aisles...ultimately, there's no other spot that can give you an authentic sense of home. THE Best for Manchester folks, and even BETTER for those passing through on a drive.
