I live in the area. I had first went into this store a year ago and was treated so nicely that I decided to come back to get Valentine’s Day chocolate for my loved ones. I was the first one in the store and two people walked in behind me. A man dressed in a suit was quickly greeted and he went right up to the counter, even though I walked in first. No big deal, I am in my gym attire not really commanding respect… then when I went to the counter, another woman was not so friendly. In the meantime I grabbed almost $100 worth of chocolate ( something I usually don’t do). I saw that they had gift wrapping so I figured because they were busy, I would ask for some and do it myself. The lady ringing me up gave me a snarky attitude and said I can only wrap this one item because it is over a certain amount. I said, that is fine just hand me some paper and I will take care of it. She practically gasped and laughed saying “ we can’t hand out paper!” It was very embarrassing. I was attempting to be courteous and she came off being stingy, acting as if I was. I was going to make this a tradition coming here for gifts, but to me customer service just ranks higher than products. My parents owned a business and I always try to support smaller business over large. I guess I will just stick to Godiva in this case. Such a shame. I can’t believe this woman believes I was just trying to get paper. I didn’t even know they offered it when I went in. A person who is cheap doesn’t spend $75.00 on chocolate. I am sure there are enough customers to keep them going, but they should really treat all customers with respect. I imagine my “attire” had me profiled possibly, I just can’t see any other reason this woman gave me such an attitude. I was a manager at several stores and it really irks me when associates ( really hope it wasn’t a manager or owner) act this way.

Were meeting some friends in Rhode Island for lunch. Wanted to get a 'little something' to give them. Went into Sweeper's....heavenly! Lots of well packaged delicious chocolates. And being from RI, they were thrilled to receive the gifts!

Sweenor's has been a Rhode Island landmark for years. They are a bit pricey but great chocolate usually is (you get what you pay for).

I have been going to Sweenor's Chocolates all my adult life and I'm almost 70! No one can beat their dark chocolate covered almond clusters and dark chocolate almond bark! I am literally addicted to them, so I don't go there as often as I would like, but when I do, what a treat it is!!! I've watched over the decades how almost everything you buy keeps getting smaller and more expensive at the same time. Not so at Sweenors! If anything, I'm finding that they have upped the amount of almonds in both my faves, and the dark chocolate remains of the very highest quality! Do yourself a favor and check them out if you haven't already! You won't regret it!

We stop in on a recent visit 2 weeks ago they have a wonderful selection. My colleague also loved that they have nearly 3 shelves of sugar free chocolate. Everything was good we bought the milk chocolate pecan turtles, and an assorted box as a gift. Of course a few treats for the ride back home. Don't miss this place.
