Put this on your bucket list! I am originally from Waterbury, CT. Although it has changed so much since I was a child one thing has remained the same: Fascia’s Chocolates. This is a family run business & the chocolates are made on site. You can go into their charming store, sit at a table inside or out, and eat your selected fresh chocolates with some coffee. They also have home made gelato. The chocolates melt in your mouth and burst with flavor. The family and staff are wonderful. If you don’t live in the area you can order the chocolates on line.
This was a nice clean store with excellent coffee and gelato. Lots of chocolate for sale as well.
Sublime chocolates made on site since 1964. Family owned. Gelato available, too. Take the tour and make your own custom chocolate bar! These are chocolates where there wont be one in the box you bite into and throw it out for bad flavor. The 16 oz. box of assorted dark and milk chocolates is chocolatier perfection.
The chocolate is amazing. Rich and creamy. Very high quality.
I love Fascias... stop by at least once a month for my fix! I also give boxed chocolates as gifts- hoping others will reciprocate when my birthday comes up. My kids got me a giant box of all my favorites that was brought to tears by for Mothers day. Nothing says it better than a box of Fascias!!
Life is sweet like chocolate, even with few nuts like us! We took a tour at Fascias Chocolate Factory in Waterbury This was a very informative and fun experience. We learned about the chocolate making process, had a tasting of the delicious samples, and we even got to make our own chocolate bars. I made mine a rainbow, no surprise there! Ill definitely be back for the chocolate and wine train tour
Amazing chocolate tour. We poured our own chocolate bars from well tempered chocolate. After it cooled, we packed them up and we enjoyed then at home. Its a fine chocolate confectionair. We sampled some delightful chocolates and took some home from the store. The chocolate covered cherries are $30/lb but worth every penny. We bought 4 of them and some other assorted truffles and caramels. The kids thought this was very cool.
Knowledgeable and courteous staff. Huge selection of superb chocolate.
Delicious chocolate. Arrived and departed as a stop on the train from the New England Railroad Museum on the Naugatuck Railroad.
Crazy busy with it being so close to valentines day. Everyone was wearing masks and they limit the amount of people in to shop. I was in and out quick. Great tasting chocolate. They also have a build your own candy bar kit! So cool!
The chocolates is hand made and delicious. They will wrap for you for any occassion.
First off the beautiful aroma of chocolate hits you as soon as you walk in. Very pretty front lobby. Nice staff. My friends and I did the make your own chocolate bar experience and it was nice to learn about the process of making chocolate while making chocolate. Also very nice learning about the family business. Hope they have good business for many more years. There gelatos look amazing, didn’t get to try this time but can’t wait to go back in the summer for some. And lastly the chocolate bar I made was one of the best chocolate bars I’ve ever had. Tasted rich and natural at the same time, if that makes any sense and melts in your mouth. Definitely taste the difference between other chocolate bars. And clean factory!
Beautiful store and delicious chocolates!!!The brands been around for years! I unfortunately just discovered them, otherwise I would have been there weekly!
Absolutely LOVE the chocolates! Very hard to have a favorite when all of them are just so amazingly awesome - but I do LOVE the salted milk chocolate caramels!
They have some of the most delicious chocolate Ive ever had. They make amazing gelato too. They have a nice size store with an array of different kinds of chocolates and molded chocolates. They have classes and make your own bar experiences. Its a wonderful family on a business.
A great experience. My employer set up a Zoom Chocolate Experience and Carmelo was so informative and energetic! The chocolate is delicious!
From the moment you walk in the door you can smell the freshness of the divine chocolate. Best Ive ever had by far. They also serve Gelato, delicious 😋
Excellent, handmade chocolate and very helpful staff. I love that they have been part of Waterbury for decades.
The staff members at Fascia’s are amazing. I went in to get my corporate gifts on a Wednesday and had my 5 boxes 2 days later. I love having my business card Imprinted on a bar of Fascias chocolate.Everyone loves them!!!
Wonderful company. beautiful selection of quality chocolates. The showroom is attractive, and the staff super helpful. Hope to shop here for many years to come
First time going to this place and I went on the tour and made my own chocolate bar. First off..... Its delicious 😋 but also you gain a deeper understanding of the complexities and science behind what goes into making good chocolate. Which would probably just further your love for it. Fascias knows how to make chocolate and they let you peak behind the curtain. 10/10 Would recommend.
Chocolates are delectable and delights. I would absolutely come back and get chocolates. If I had one complaint it is an older woman behind counter. She was supervising a younger woman and she was not polite and had no customer service at all. She interrupted a few times saying these are more money.... I can read and understood first time.
Probably one of the best chocolate shops in Connecticut. The tours when available are excellent as well. Already purchased my Christmas gifts online with curbside pickup!
Perfect place to get delish chocolates for the special someone. Great alternative to flowers or roses (especially when one is very allergic).
Been there many timesChocolate there isAwesome 😀❤️
Crazy good chocolate, pricey but you get what you pay for.
Went here for a birthday party and it was pretty amazing. They let the kids design a chocolate pizza dip some treats in more chocolate then finish the party with ice cream. If you dont mind a ton of sugar its a pretty good time! They also do adult parties and the prices are reasonable. Ill be back for sure.
The chocolates are wonderful ly delicious.
Melt away and truffles are amazing. Good chocolates.
Clean place good chocolate
Very friendly and organized service. Have a wide variety of chocolate 🍫 and truffles.
Awesome chocolate
Amazing chocolate and gelato
The chocolate is delicious and the staff very helpful and friendly. The smell when you first walk in the door is amazingly delicious!
Best chocolate, very fresh. Chocolate covered pretzels and hazelnut meltaways are my favorites. Can get expensive, but the quality makes it worth it.
An great experience one can enjoy alone, on a date, or with family.The presentation is done in such a manner that makes you remember the day and all you’ve learned.I have since recommended Fascia’s to many friends and family and 99% of those who I’ve shared my experience with have also experienced Fascia’s. The feedback was overwhelming with nothing but stars....Hope to be able to visit next time I’m in Waterbury.!
Went with husband and kids for the tour and made chocolate bars. Was a great experience. My son says its the best chocolate in the world.
We were greeted by the wonderful aroma of good grade chocolate as we walked thru the door! The friendly, helpful staff was well prepared to assist our group as we got to make our own chocolate bar.Next we were privileged to listen to an excellent presentation on chocolate - where it grows, how it is harvested and processed, and how it ends up in our hands as hot cocoa, brownies and candy.Then we had the wonderful experience of shopping for our own treasured bag of candy to bring home and enjoy which Im doing as I type this!I highly recommend a trip to Fascias Chocolates by any group looking for a unique fund raising experience!
Great little chocolate factory. The showroom has a great selection of chocolate goodies. They serve ice cream that they make themselves which is really good, its an Italian name that I cant remember. they offer factory tours, but I have not gone on one. Its close to the highway and easy to get to. Definitely worth trying.
Absolutely love Fascias and the attention they give us there. Their chocolate is superb! Their salted milk chocolate caramels are what gets me through!
Very good presentation and history. Fun making my own chocolate bar. Excellent quality and consistency of chocolate. Many choices of products for sale. Cant wait to go back another day.
Wow good no great chocolate.
Good chocolate.
Great chocolates and gelato. Visit the factory and on some days, make your own. Great gift ideas. You can even get chocolate business cards. Smell, look & sample. My daughters shower and wedding guest gifts are coming from here. No one will be disappointed!
Very friendly staff, great selection of gift options for everyone.
Great place, great Gelato!
Great place! My first time in store. Great friendly helpful service! Definitely go back here again!
Ohmigosh they have the most luxurious and satisfying chocolate youll ever eat. The tour is fun and informative. Its absolutely worth doing the make-your-own chocolate bar tour.Fully accessible. Friendly and helpful staff.
Best chocolate in Connecticut! Friendly and great service. Love their gelato too!!!
Chocolate - whats not to love. And their gelato is pretty good too.
Great treats, nice people!!
I got large Easter bunnies for my granddaughters.
Fabulous selection of chocolate. Did the wine and chocolate decadence train ride. Pairings were perfect. Nice presentation at Fascias, learned a lot about their process. Made some chocolate to take home. Fun!
The best made chocolate! I have been coming to Fascias for at least 30 years. They are very friendly and their location is extremely clean. Such fun to visit!
Nice people
This is a family owned and run shop! So interesting to see and hear about the chocolate making process! Then to sample chocolates, and such fun to make your own chocolate! This is the best chocolate ice had, and the people are friendly and knowledgeable.
Great chocolatier!
Fascias Chocolates has saved me on many occasions with last minute gifts. Mothers day, Christmas, Valentines day, my own personal need to indulge, etc. Every item I have bought has tasted amazing. They are the reason I will eat dark chocolate. I recommend the tour they offer. It has a lot of info about the company and chocolate itself, and is just fun!
Wonderful!
Best chocolate in the world. Great selection. Nice and clean store.
Beautiful family-run business, amazing chocolate. It was a shame that some of the employees did not seem too happy to be there. Had they been a little more welcoming, I would have given it 5 stars. We did the make-your-own-chocolate-bar/factory tour. Our guide, Carmen, seemed to be very passionate about what he does. Would definitely do it again in the future.
Fantastic to walk into Fascias again after I cant tell you how many years. What a treat to see all the homemade chocolates and taste test a couple. They just happen to be my favorites, carmels. So yummy. I bought a nice big box to take home to Florida to share with my wonderful husband. Youll enjoy every bite, just like Im going to.
The best chocolates around!
We went on the chocolate experience tour today and it was very interesting and a lot of fun! Our guide was very knowledgeable about the family owned and operated company and the way chocolate is made- from bean to bar. We made our own chocolate bars and saw into the chocolate factory area which you can only see through the windows and via camera but it was still fun to see. It was about an hour long, perfect for a rainy day activity! The store itself is full of delicious chocolates and gelato. It is on the pricey side, but after witnessing how the chocolate is hand crafted with such care, I wouldnt feel guilty for dropping the extra money.
It is always the best.
Have been going there for years even got my wedding favors at Fascia’s 19 years ago the 12th. The chocolates are so so good.
I dont think I have ever seen a place as clean as Fascias Chocolate. The people there are amazing and will help you with everything. The tour is a fun learning experience for everyone with a love of chocolate. And who doesnt love good chocolate?! Their selection of fantastic chocolates will blow your mind trying to decide what to take home. I didnt try it but the gelato looks like the ones we had it Italy.
I didnt like what I had.
Did the Make Your Own Chocolate Bar and it was fantastic. Not only did my kids and I learn how chocolate is made and taste testing. I recommend to anyone interested in trying something new.
Enjoyed our stop on the Tequila Express at Fascias for a sample of their wonderful chocolate. The New England Rail Road Museum in Thomaston, Connecticut often includes at stop at Fascias in their events like the Tequila Express.Their Chocolate is great an well worth at trip to Waterbury to try some.
I have gone to Facias since my father took me to the location on Meriden Road 50 years ago. Ive been around the world since then including Switzerland and Brussels many times. No chocolate compares to Fascias. Visiting is a cross between time travel and a visit to Wonka. A pure joy.
Fine, handcrafted chocolates, seasonal items, special orders. Beautifully presented and great for gifts.
We LOVE Fascias Chocolates! It is truly the best tasting chocolate and you can always find a great gift there and a treat for yourself as well! Their tours are great and the owner Carmen is a really nice guy 😊
Such nice ladies that work there. Great selection. Great chocolate.
The quality has diminished remarkably over the years. I went near closing time and was reminded of that fact. I felt as if I was intruding when I was there.
Did a chocolate bar making event with my two daughters and 3 grandchildren (2, 4 and 7). It was great, we all loved it and the chocolate is delicious! Used a groupon, it was a great experience!
This is a commercial operation and the products cant come close to an artisanal chocolatier - of which there more then a few in Connecticut. This is not worth the stop - think Russell Stover quality
Very nice experience tour was very informal overall a very fun experience and amazing chocolate
I took my kids for the tour today and what a great way to spend an afternoon! The tour was excellent and getting to see the factory was very cool. The samples and design your own chocolate bar were such a treat. The kids are already asking to go again.
Great local chocolate!
Fascias Chocolates has a good selection of chocolates, and will let you create your own box of assorted chocolates. It should be noted however, that they are confectionery meaning they dont actually make the chocolate, they take the pre-made chocolate and format into what you see in the store, adding ingredients and what not to get the specific type of truffle and whatnot that thay desire. I tried a considerable number of the assorted chocolates, and some of the other chocolate items they had in the store, I can say that chocolate is extremely good and well planned out. Anyone looking for super dark chocolate may feel left out however, as most of their dark chocolate hes in the neighborhood of 50%. The darkest chocolate I was able to find in the entire store whats the super dark chocolate flakes that were 72% and the chocolate blueberry bars, also at 72%.
Loved the tour...and the candy tastes amazing. Love that its a family run business
Thank you for providing the tasty treats for our recent BMW of Watertown grand opening! Not only is the chocolate delicious but you did an outstanding job of packaging them in the beautiful and elegant gift boxes for our guests. Thank you to Carmen and team for your partnership and we look forward to working with you again in the future.
The staff is so helpful. I have a gluten allergy and am doing the chocolate decadence train tour and I was unable to contact anyone from the rail road museum to find out if I had to bring my own food and the staff from here went out of their way to help me! I am so grateful!!
We had our wedding favors done here in April and people are still raving!!! I went to fascias to ask questions and sample many times and everyone we encountered were so helpful and pleasant!! Definately recommend them as a favor that your guests will enjoy and your money will be well spent! Fascias is now tradition for any gifts for our mothers or myself :)
The staff is super friendly and helpful. The samples are a special treat. Their sugar free selection is just as good as the regular. FASCIAS gelatos are also a must.
Love Fascias chocolate! Stopped in for Valentine gifts. Great selection.They have tours and you can book parties here too.
Nice little chocolate factory with nice showroom. Great varieties of ice creams. Offers tour of the factory in certain times.
Went here for a birthday party. The staff was friendly and courteous, kids all had a great time! I would definitely recommend it for anybody that wants great chocolate and a lot of fun
Great gelato and chocolates
