Chocolaterie Stam - Rochester

This is one of my favorite must stop spots in Rochester! Every year my family comes for a Bible convention and stay in downtown Rochester. I usually go for the rich flavors like tiramisu, chocolate amaretto or bananas foster. My mom's favs are the sorbet especially the grapefruit, lemon and pineapple. All the flavors are great and an awesome deal two flavors for $5 for a small if u pay cash!! I wish they had a location In Minneapolis. The staff is so friendly and they have seating right in front of the shop in the skyway level! Thanks for being part of my summer tradition!!

Wow! We were able to try their gelato and cute cupcake pop while visiting the Thursdays on First event during a lunch break while having appointments at Mayo. The employees were super friendly and helpful with our choices and also gave us some recommendations on what to do in and around the area. We can't wait to visit the storefront the next time we are in the area in a few weeks.

Best gelato ever number of really nice flavors decent price but my favorite is the grapefruit gelato. Excellent.

Enjoyed delicious gelato, chocolates, and cupcakes. I absolutely love thier unique flavors and enjoyed the inviting store. The smaller size and varied offerings I enjoyed the comfort brought by the ambiance in the store. The service was great and very open to answering questions. The prices were a little higher then I expected but you get what you pay for so, I was willing to pay more .

If you want to walk through a door and feel like you're actually in Italy, this is the best place to go. This is what my son told me, and asked me to leave his review. He said it was the best gelato he and his companions had ever had. (Best flavors: Chai Tea, Plum, and Chocolate Chip Biscotti)

Visited Stam again just before Easter. With the pandemic on the decrease (hopefully) it was time to venture out for a gelato fix and some chocolates for home. Luckily, Stam has survived the brunt of the pandemic. These remain amazing artisan chocolates! My son had a couple macaroons and said that were light and delicious- a marvelous macaroon! We each had a small gelato and sat at a table to enjoy the treat. I had 1/2 chocolate and 1/2 caramel- delicious! My son had a fruit flavor and enjoyed it immensely. If you appreciate great chocolate or have a love of gelato, visit Stam!

If you're hoping for authentic Italian gelato, keep looking. If all you want is a cold sweet treat, you might be ok with this, but honestly we all would have been happier (and paid a lot less) at Dairy Queen. We were all looking forward to some gelato after a long day, but unfortunately it really wasn't very good. I tried 3 painfully sweet flavors before settling on Blueberry sorbetto, thinking it would be less sweet than some of the others. It wasn't. I got the small and didn't even want to finish it. It tasted sort of phony, like high fructose corn syrup. Son got the berry- same story. And daughter got the chocolate peanut butter, which I'm glad I did not get. Guess we will keep looking for good frozen treats in Rochester.

A small group of us was in Rochester and I think one of my friends just saw something about "chocolate" in the corner of his eye, and suddenly he was obsessed with finding whatever chocolate place was around. So we sleuthed out this choc-shop inside the shopping center next to the Chateau Rochester and we're very, very glad we did! They've got a great gelato stand facing the outside so you can just walk up and get yourself some proper gelato. But do yourself a favor and go inside so they can seduce you with their other chocolatey offerings. They make their own fudge and I had probably the most perfect fudge I've ever had, it was just magnificent. All the other indulgences we tried were fantastic as well, and both of the shopkeeps were clearly passionate purveyors of sweetness. I suspect that all my future visits to Rochester will include a stop here.

The most delicious chocolate. The service was top tier, I was very indecisive and the staff was so understanding and didn't rush me at all. It's a cute little shop, I can't wait to try the gelato the next time I'm in town. I would post with more pictures but they were so yummy I enjoyed my sweet treats quickly. A must find!

Great gelato a bonbons! Service and atmosphere were wonderful. Really great selection of gelato, chocolates and caramels. Highly recommended!
