Not just old world chocolates, but coffee and gelato too! Our family has been in the confectionery business for over 200 years. My nephew Hendrikus is our current Master Chocolatier, and he's the great, great, great, great, great grandson of our first baker. We're very proud to offer the highest quality products, but we take even more pride in treating every employee and every customer as an extension of our family. Welcome. -Anthonius Stam, President
