Not impressed

by Drujienna at Citysearch

I work right near Hatch's new location next to LDS hospital. I used to be right near another chocolate store on 7th & 9th next to Liberty Park, and it's been years since I bought any chocolates from them or anywhere else. Watched this new Hatch location being built and thought I'd stop in there last night after work.

I was really disappointed. For one thing, the price was $1.60 for one little piece of chocolate. I love chocolate just as much as the next person but to me, there is Bad Chocolate and Good Chocolate, and of the Good Chocolate, there's not a real lot of variation or great "degrees". I think putting a very high price on what is going to be Good Chocolate is a bit presumptuous when just starting out.

I decided to go with what I knew for sure I'd like: Vanilla Cream ... remembering that texture and taste of running my tongue around the inside hollow shell of a piece of dark chocolate for that one dollop of creamy vanilla. Not possible with theirs. Theirs is a chalky white paste filling, not creamy not runny in the least, even a little dry. Did I just get a "lemon" vanilla cream instead? Maybe so. It had the nearly identical consistency to the mint of a giant York Peppermint Pattie!? That's fine for what it is, but it's certainly not "creamy"!

Great Chocolate

This is a great little chocolate house. I feel lucky to have them in our neighborhood and it's a wonderful delight whenever I send these chocolates out to family. All I've ever gotten was rave reviews from people when they get a little chocolate from me here in SLC, and its thanks to Hatch Family Chocolates!

Being I life long resident of the Salt Lake County area, I had never heard of Hatch Family Chocolates, until the release of their TV Show. "The Little Chocolatiers" . After seeing this we were intrigued and had to try it!

We were greeted by the wonderful sweet aroma of chocolate and greeted by a smiling Steve, the owner, as we passed in the door way. The staff was helpful, knowledgeable and very friendly.

The chocolates, regardless of the flavor was smooth, creamy and truly decedent. It will certainly be the go to place for gifts in the future.

The only thing that would have made this any better, would being able to spend more time there! And obviously discovering it sooner! AWESOME!

• Pros: Wonderful selection, great staff
• Cons: A little inconvieint , yet worth it.
