When you walk in you're immediately in a chocolate wonderland with cases upon cases of beautiful chocolates. My son was mesmerized! Much to my son's delight, we noticed that they had a gelato case at the front of the store. So, we were able to grab some delicious gelato, which we could sit and eat at their assortment of tables or couches, and then shop for some delicious chocolates! The also make milkshakes, floats, and a variety of hot drinks which we can't wait to come back to try.
What we liked: The atmosphere is great! It's perfect for a special treat for kids because they will really feel special when they get to pick out a candy from one of those cases. The employee that we met was very friendly and helpful and made our small children feel welcome. In addition, the shopping center looks like it might be a fun place to stop for dinner and dessert at Stam with several restaurants including Thai and Indian cuisine.
What we would change: There isn't much parking, so I can see how that would be a problem on busy days.

I am glad to see Stam getting some well-deserved attention, but I wanted to mention another chocolate shop in Chapel Hill named The Chocolate Door. It's on West Franklin St. (pretty close to Carrboro) and the chocolates and baked goods are very good...plus the owner is the mom of a 9-month old (her baby is sometimes at the store). It could be a good place to combine with some other stops in the area, such as Nice Price books or The Bookshop/Chapel Hill Comics.
