In Search of the Best Chocolate
Shirley's Fine Chocolates brings America's favorite sweet food to North Attleboro, MA (Now Watson's and every bit as good!)
by Eric H. , VisitingNewEngland.com

Shirley's Fine Chocolates photo, North Attleboro, Mass.Shirley's Fine Chocolates in North Attleboro, MA (CLOSED) , ranks up there as one of the sweetest choices in New England when searching for the ultimate chocolate shop.

With a Victorian-style interior look that houses a wonderland of chocolates, Shirley's offer a great variety of dark, white, and milk chocolate -- perfect for the truffle snack to the much larger assorted gift chocolate baskets.  This is not your typical chemical-laden, cheap chocolate; it's fresh, authentic chocolate that lends a rich, substantial taste that easily fulfills our daily chocolate demands and dreams.  What's more, Shirley's goes beyond just chocolate with hearty breakfasts, gourmet-style sandwiches and soups for lunch,
and afternoon teas. There's limited seating, which makes the dining experience seem like your own special discovery. It's really a charming, small spot that reflects downtown North Attleboro's quaint, old-fashioned tree-lined downtown that features many other fine local shops, grand, old homes, and a beautiful town common (North Attleboro is close to the Rhode Island border) .

Shirley's is the type of place that truly taps into our taste bud's true love -- chocolate -- and into our heart for its gentle return to an innocent age when local shops captured the fancy of everyone from kids on bikes to parents and grandparents enthusiastically going downtown to shop the "Mom and Pop" stores. In this case, Shirley's brings the "Mom and Pop" store concept to its apex by offering something everyone likes -- chocolate!

Shirley's Fine Chocolates, 14 S Washington St., North Attleboro, MA, Tel. (508) 695-8837
