I searched for “best ice cream near me” and found this WONDERFUL little shop. The cherry mascarpone gelato was sumptuous down to the last bite. I wanted a little coffee, and got the best cup of coffee I’ve had in Des Moines! I would go back for the gelato or coffee alone, but the service was the highlight of my whole experience! BRAVO!!!
Such a hidden gem! My friend and I visited this lovely chocolate shop and were greeted with a historical journey into Stam’s Fine European Chocolates. The staff were also very sweet and had great customer service skills- very attentive! We will be returning.
Amazing chocolate. My go to place for wonderful chocolate or gelato in town, or as a good gift idea for chocolate lovers. They also have great coffee and hot cocoa!
The only true richness can be found in heaven, that is untill Chocolate Stam in 1913.
For but a few penny's more, this is the way and place chocolate heaven can be found here on earth.
English chocolate may use to much oil, other prefer coco butter but in Amsterdam, with Chocolaterie Stam, there exisits a better way, don't take my word... Just flavor & savor their chocolate on your tongue. (please check out their history)
I'm a chocolate lover connoisseur, so I do not work for them... And although I love the and lived near Ghirardelli Square in San Francisco, I must share that I rank Chocolaterie Stam top.
Try and you'll know what I'm talking about and why I'm sharing...
Bought some espresso beans, dark chocolate sea salt cashews, and some dark medallions. Outstanding quality chocolate. Will be coming back for more!
Stam's has some of the best confections I have ever enjoyed. For a real treat, buy some rum beans--make sure you put the entire thing in your mouth before biting down unless you want rum drizzling down your chin!
Sat on the patio with music over speakers and cute little birds and flowers growing. Ate gelato and staff brought out cold water to us. So nice! Lived the sale selection of cards and enjoyed buying my daughter chocolates for her birthday.
Workers were very friendly. The one piece of chocolate I had was excellent. My husband's gelato was quite tasty also. I didn't see any butter toffee with chocolate on top which is a favorite of mine. Maybe they'll add it there were several varieties of chocolate and fudge.
My hot chocolate and my husband's coffee were also good.
I think it was definitely worth the stop. GPS may send you in a circle. The door faces Ingersoll. (Written by Mary)
