I cannot speak to the quality of the chocolates, because I lost all interest in trying them due to the rude lady - I should instead say woman, she was no lady - running the shop. When I walked in, she was on a cell phone. She neither welcomed me nor offered any assistance whatsoever. I walked around the shop... More

We found Destination Chocolate while on a wonderful vacation in Newport, RI. The whole family fell in love with their beautiful chocolates! I now order Destination Chocolates for the Kids' Birthdays, Christmas and Easter! The quality of the chocolates is outstanding and Martha Marie, the proprietor, is a joy! More

The shop owner a bit stiff and unfriendly to families with children. If the shop was in a smaller space perhaps the taste and prices could come to... More

This is a small, specialty chocolate shop in the heart of Newport's waterfront area (behind the "Barking Crab"). My wife and I stopped in and loved browsing at all the very colorful, unconventional (flavors like grapefruit and lavender in additions to staples like raspberry) and tasty chocolate.
