If I could bottle up a smell and add it to this review, Riverside Chocolate Factory would get a million stars just for that alone. Step inside, and you’re instantly transported to chocolate paradise. Every inch of the store is packed with confections, many of them handmade and crafted right on site. And let me tell you: they do not hold back on the caramel or the chocolate. Everything is dipped, coated, and layered to perfection. Pure indulgence. They have an amazing selection of gift options for just about every occasion and holiday. Good luck picking just one—everything is tempting! Beyond the chocolates, they serve delicious ice cream, shakes, popcorn, and handmade fudge. My favorite is a banana shake, made with vanilla ice cream and a whole ripe banana—no fake syrups or extracts here. Just fresh, real ingredients. (Can you say potassiYUM?) It’s a great place to bring the kids for a special treat, too—their eyes light up the moment they step through the door. The staff are friendly and always serve you with a smile, even with summertime lines sometimes wrapping around the building! There is a nice outdoor garden seating area and plenty of parking, so it’s easy to relax and enjoy your treats when the weather is nice. Everything I’ve ever purchased here has been thoroughly enjoyed and 100% worth it. If you’re ever passing through the area, do yourself a favor and make this a must-stop destination. One million stars Riverside Chocolate Factory!

I've driven by this cute little shop too many times, and today, I finally decided to stop. This little gem has charm inside and out. From the nostalgic jars full of candies to the little outdoor seating patio this is worth a look. Bring the whole family for a treat!
