This place is not to be missed if you're a chocolate fan for so many reasons:
The selection. I mean, think of a flavor and it's there. My personal favorite is the arguably unusual dark chocolate lemon, but Adirondack Chocolates had it! Coconut, marzipan, fruits, nuts... and in your choice of white, milk, or dark chocolate. It took me a while to fill up my box.
The people. I took my time trying to decide what was coming home with me, and the people working at Adirondack Chocolates were kind, patient, and funny. Even though I walked out with an entire pound of chocolate, I honestly debated going back the next day just to say hi.
The quality. I've purchased a lot of chocolate in my time. Maybe too much. Sometimes you go to a chocolate shop and the fillings are sparse or lacking in flavor. Not at Adirondack Chocolates. The chocolate shell is thick and clearly good quality chocolate (I only purchased dark chocolate pieces so cannot speak to the milk or white varieties). Biting into every flavor I was hit with an abundance of flavorful filling. I think my personal favorites were the hazelnut, both types of raspberries (raspberry cream and raspberry truffle), and, of course, the lemon.
Thank you for your friendliness and your delicious treats! I drive past Lake Placid several times a year, but this was my first time actually staying in town. Now it looks like I'll need to stop each time I'm passing through just to load up...
