Thompson Chocolate

This year, I wanted to support a local business for my Easter needs. I had 4 children to think of this year. I am glad I remembered my special childhood location on Vine Street in Meriden. As a school kid, I would walk by every day and, once a week or so, stop in to buy licorice and a chocolate. This was in the 1980s. This year, I purchased over $120 in chocolates and Jelly beans online from Thompson's. They came wonderfully wrapped, and all were in excellent condition. It felt like they were packed with love.

Placed order on February 11th paid for the 2 day shipping which was actually more expensive than the product itself and my order wasn't shipped till the 13th. This was a time sensitive order. I called and spoke to a lady and she said to call if I didn't receive it by Friday. We'll I didn't receive it Friday so I called and nobody answered either time I called. Here it is Monday the 17th I finally received the order and the product was opened inside of the package and three of the chocolates were either broken or damaged. I also tried calling once more today and nobody answered. The chocolate may taste good I'm not sure as this was a gift for someone else but I do know the customer service and packaging is not up to par at all. Definitely not impressed.

I wish more places were like this. The loading dock lady was extremely nice. Knocked on my door when she was ready for me. Had me loaded in 15 minutes (partial load). When finished she brought the paperwork out and sealed my trailer doors. Overnight parking available. It is really tight getting into the facility. Follow the blue line to get in, red circle is the dock area, and yellow line to get out. I’d give it 10 stars if I could! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Another successful visit to my favorite local Candy Store. White, milk, dark and sugar free varieties. Bunnies, ducks, eggs, bark and more. My all-time - favorite malted milk balls were in stock too. The chocolate has a richer more creamy taste and consistency than the name brand stuff. Worth it to stop here.

You can keep Godiva chocolate or spend money for some fancy imported brand. I'll take Thompson's chocolate Easter bunnies any day of the week. And the rest of the year I'm happy to chowdown on their marzipan, candy, and chocolate. It really isn't Easter without Thompson chocolate. this was our first time back in almost 20 years and the chocolate is better than ever. It's a great place for making a special Easter memory for your children or continuing a tradition. When my daughter visits this Easter for the first time in decades she will have an Easter bunny from Thompson chocolate. Check it out.

Our family and friends look forward to getting chocolates from us every holiday season because we've shopped here for years. The chocolates are shaped here so you cannot get a tour due to the possible health and safety issues that would cause. Prices have remained reasonable. They have a large online market but their store is so cute. The old style factory building looks blah from the outside, but the inside is so clean and bright. The hours change based on the season. Office and front end staff has been there for years greeting new and returning guests. Our favorites are the bags of dark chocolate. If you want a special order, contact them and ask. Many people like their bark and ribbon candy. This far, it's always a good visit.

Hello, truckers good to make delivery nice people. Also, you have Parking night.

We just started going here a few years ago. Love the Halloween chocolates! Jackie who’s always working in the front is so sweet with our daughter.
