The individual truffles are heavenly and were made very nicely with a double chocolate layer. The little bags of treats were good too - we bought many flavors.

My family has been shopping at Vleta's for decades. The chocolate has always been amazing and the selection of goodies more than one could even imagine. I love to give Vleta's for teacher gifts and as thank you's. It's always a big hit.

Got some as 'thank you' gifts to give to the staff at the Residence Inn Marriott where I stayed. A little pricey but on the same quality level as See's, so, you get what you pay for and apparently the consensus around town is that these candies & chocolate are 'the bomb'!

We were expecting this to be a chocolate factory where you can see the chocolate being made but it is just a shop front.. Lovely chocolates with the price tag to match.

Can't let a birthday or Christmas pass without buying chocolate gifts at Vletas. Upscale chocolates in 50 varieties in a historic railroad building--there's nothing like it for a long way.

There's NOTHING that leave the doors of this place that you will not want to eat before you get to your destination. (Save it ALL for yourselves!!!)
