Angell & Phelps Chocolate Factory, Daytona Beach

Such a cool place! They have "free, self-guided tours" all day which means you can walk down their hallway and look inside windows to watch the employees make chocolate. The employees seemed friendly and happy to wave when they saw us watching them. At the time I was there 3 workers were making coconut creme balls on the assembly line / conveyor belt. As 1 man put the coconut balls on the belt, we could watch them go under the chocolate fountain and pop out the other end, where another man drizzled white chocolate on top. Then, they went through a long, silver tunnel and a woman was pulling them off the line and weighing them into boxes. She saw us watching and handed us each a coconut creme ball fresh off the line (through a door that leads to the hallway). Awesome! There were so many interesting items to buy like chocolate covered potato chips, chocolate covered bacon, really cute, detailed, and realistic chocolate starfish, sand dollars, sharks, etc. Both times I've been to Daytona Beach, I've been here and honestly, I would make it a point to come back on all future trips and recommend to others. It's a must-do.

I came here during my vacation in Daytona for the chocolate factory tour but they were temporarily closed which was a bummer but their selection of chocolate was great! The atmosphere was nice, the staff was welcoming and nice as well and the religious items available for purchase caught my eyes! The lemon dark chocolate were exceptional!!!
