Hauser Chocolates

Who knew there was a chocolatier in our midst?

Hauser Chocolates of Westerly Rhode Island is a second generation family-owned company making fine quality, artisanal Swiss-style chocolates. Their Facebook page boasts more than 500 Likes and 5 star reviews. Establishments like the the Ocean House Hotel and Uptown Salon feature Hauser chocolates to enhance the experiences of their guests. After hearing about Hauser, I drove over there to find out what Green Hillers might want to know about their chocolate offerings.

Finding Hauser Chocolates

Kimberly is standing by to assist you with all your chocolate needs.

It’s a little tricky finding Hauser Chocolates, but trust me, you’ll get the hang of it. Located at 59 Tom Harvey Road in a sleepy commercial office park adjacent to the Westerly airport, you’ll find their factory store. If you’re at the Stop & Shop plaza in Westerly, you’re a stone’s throw away.

I arrived late on a Saturday morning in early December and was greeted by Kimberly, a member of the Hauser Chocolates team that has been with the company nearly a decade. She oversees the retail store and greets all the patrons with a warm smile. She is quiet but ever eager to show you around and help you find whatever you need. While I strolled the store looking at all the chocolate confections, Kimberly welcomed long time customers from CT that arrived to stock up on their favorite fresh cream truffles.

There’s so much to know about Hauser Chocolates! During your visit you can walk up a ramp to their factory floor observatory deck to view the production of chocolate products and read about the brand’s rich history on the walls.
