I love stores that have penny candy, OH MY LAWD. It's a little tricky for the true penny candies,…read morebecause they ask you to count how many you put into your own little baggie. Fair enough, but it's tough to do with tongs dropping in a tong-ful at a time, and one at a time takes ages. So I took a rough guess at what I have, and tried to make sure I overestimated what I had. They have a large gift section, and even a little corner for dog treats/gifts. I didn't order any food here, but noticed the baked goods they had for sale were the exact same 2 days in a row, so I don't know how fresh they would be. I'd have to eat one to be sure, but the selection was so limited. (Lemon cake, blueberry cake, and some banana bread).

To get the true Kellerhaus experience, get the ice cream sundae bar! You can fill up your bowl with toppings like hot fudge, raspberry sauce, candies, and whipped cream to your heart's content. And then be sure to top it off with a mini flag! After ice cream, take a stroll around the gift shop! There are several rooms of cute items to explore. I recommend the chocolate room especially, you can find really nice gifts there for all the chocolate lovers in your life!

I've been coming to Kellerhaus since I was a kid, and I've always had a good experience. I haven't…read morebeen in a few years and they've made some updates that I don't exactly agree with. The flavor options and pricing are at the cash register and you can't really see either from afar, which makes it feel rushed when you get to that point. The pricing I think is getting pretty high for what it is. They no longer scoop the ice cream in front of you - the ice cream is around the corner. When we got to the smorgasbord, the whipped cream wasn't working/was empty. The workers didn't seem to want to fix it, and once you leave the line you can't re-enter. Pretty disappointing to not be able to get their homemade whipped cream they rave about. For almost $9 for a one scoop make-your-own before tax, it was honestly not a great experience today. We miss the nostalgia of this place - it's becoming more industrialized and less sentimental.

Sophia's is a fun place for a solo pick-me-up or to bring kids. When I walked in, I first noticed…read morethe fudge and it was delicious. 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.

Ever go to a place so much you forget you never did a Yelp review?…read more Well this place is a gem. Sure the candy or the wine is nice. And the local souvenir gifts are a plus. But you come here in part for three things: the maple syrup (nuff said), the view, and the Maple Creemees. We could call it soft serve but well, Vermont. The creemees are delish. Affordable and big they are perfect on a summer day, a fall, day or even a winter day. Then take it out and eat by the lake? Heavenly. Nice people. Well worth the stop.

I stopped in last week with my two boys - we just browsing around the town. I picked up eight sea…read moresalt caramels, half white chocolate and half dark. It's perhaps important to note that I don't often post reviews, but I was so impressed by the quality of these chocolates that, even a week later I feel the need to do so. Here's the deal: these were the best chocolates I have ever eaten. The multiple layers of encasing chocolate were thin and consistent, the caramel centers beautifully executed in both flavor and consistency - not overly sweet or salty, just perfectly balanced. The whole thing was just stunning. I was in Queechee, VT a few days later and picked up some other sea salt caramels, just as a test - nothing doing - they were not even close. I'm fairly well traveled and a bit of a gourmet, not on the snobby side, good food, good wine, etc. I did not think I would find the best chocolates ever down a back alley in Chester, VT. But I did. They are so good that I tried to change my return route to get some more, but I had to rush back home to NY. But I will be back. Also, the owners/staff are kind and welcoming, and the shop is charming and full of lovely local crafts and clothes. But for me, the chocolates are the star here. Go get them!
