A trip to Stratford would not be complete without a visit to Rheo Thompson Candies!! Their world famous mint smoothies are not to be missed - in milk or dark. I am a particular fan of the dark pecan patties...yum! As a Stratford resident, the only thing I need when I stay at a friend's is a box of mint... more
Rheo Thompson Candies make the best chocolate candies that I am aware of. I have often purchased them for a meal with company and often purchased them as gifts. I like to eat them myself! Though not inexpensive the high quality is worth it. We like to have a server fill a box with our choices. There are made up... more
Stepping into the store is like stepping into a dream - the smell of chocolate, the displays of chocolates, the variety and choice of chocolates. And the chocolate itself is chocolate. You can buy an already-boxed bevy of chocolates or make up your own. They make 2 different chocolate bars (milk chocolate and dark chocolate) and are famous for their... more
Mint smoothies seem to be the most popular candy here, but the dark chocolate with bits of coffee bean in it is the best! The chocolate is made on site and I understand there really was a man named Rheo and this is not a chain. You can go to the counter and select individual candies or buy a beautifully... more
Went here after going to the Festival Theater. This was a stop on a bus trip from Birmingham, MI. There were 56 of us and many bought chocolate. Upon returning we decided that we would not go back next year when we return to Stratford.

This beautiful shop offers every chocolate you can imagine and its the most delicious chocolate I've ever experienced. The displays in the store will amaze you... more
We went today as part of the elf guided chocolate trail. While we got bonus chocolates for being on the trail we also purchased the famous smoothes and a handmade turtle - so good

Delicious chocolates. First time customers get to try the mint smoothies. It smells wonderful in there. The fudge is very good too. Worth a visit.
Rheo Thompson is well worth a visit if you love chocolate but also if you want novel and beautifully presented giftware. They also offer a selection of wedding favours and gift ideas for just about anyone on your list. Their mint smoothies and maraschino cherries are decadent, but any candy lover will delight in a visit - always my first... more
The chocolates were delicious -- and all made with real sugar. (In the U.S. most of the chocolates contain high fructose corn syrup instead of sugar -- a real no-no for me.)
The counters displayed an amazing variety of creams and nuts in milk and dark chocolate. I went along the counter selecting my favorite flavors. They were delicious. I...
