Crema's Take
“Chocolaterie Stam-Altoona is a charming Dutch chocolaterie that goes beyond just cocoa with a delightful gelato selection, seasonal chocolate creations, and a curated collection of imported candies and goodies. The warm, attentive staff clearly takes pride in making visits memorable, whether you're a chocolate devotee exploring their artisanal confections or someone drawn in by their beautiful aesthetic and inviting atmosphere. It's the kind of place locals return to year after year for both the treats and the genuine hospitality.”

Yesterday I was there and the staff was amazing. The reason for 3 stars is due to having peanut cluster samples and NO PEANUT CLUSTERS to buy. Yes I bought a few pieces but I would've bought a lot more if the samples actually had on hand product to purchase. Looking forward to the next time I go and HOPEFULLY if there are samples, there is actually product to buy.
I took my boys to this store as well have done for the past 3 years. We were Excited to explore new chocolate flavors. My hand went a little over the glass, the worker told me there's glass there for a reason! Okay, then my son touched the glass looking at chocolate, she immediately came to clean off his fingerprints. When I addressed her she was rude and couldn't careless about how she approached us. We'll never fo there again. So much for an enjoyable tradition for our family!
I have tried chocolate and orange ice cream. That combination worked so well, but it melts so fast compared to other ice creams. I also tried their pack of 4 chocolate, they were delicious. Specifically caramel one. I have been there 2-3 times and every-time i felt staff was little rude
I'm not a chocolate fan but they've got plenty of other candies and Dutch goodies as well as delicious gelato! If I'm honest, that's really all I go to Stam's for. Beautiful aesthetic! And, the staff is always great!
Great chocolaterie!!!😍🍫 I love this place! They have great treats, went in to get a gift for a friend. They have fall theme chocolates this time of the year. So darling!🍂🍁🍫
