Oh my, these are good chocolates. I say this as someone who's lived in Switzerland and Belgium and tasted some of the best. And in the summer his ice cream bars are simply the best I've ever had (and I don't much like ice cream). Definitely stop in and try this place.

We were excited to try this place. The guy who helped us was very friendly! The ice cream was delicious! The reason for the low rating is there was another guy in the kitchen area that came out to talk to us with floss string in his hands that he was flossing with, with stuff on the floss. It was in his hands after being in his mouth, which we saw. Then he went back into the kitchen area. Not sure if he washed his hands. We were so completely grossed out! It was hard to eat what we bought!

I’m not hugely knowledgeable connoisseur of chocolate, but my wife is. Therefore, we occasionally stop in to Donnelly when we’re in Santa Cruz. While I know little about chocolate, I know a lot about service and the customer service here is amazing. They always offer a sample, and patiently walk you through all the options - and there are a lot! When you do finally decide, they pack your selection in attractive boxes and always ask you how far your traveling so they can be sure to add a frozen water bottle or two to the bag to keep you chocolate cool and unmelted… really nice touch! This is not your basic mall shop and they don’t have the most polished presentation, but the chocolate is great and the service so good that I’d rather spend a little more here than on some large chain shop.
Be sure to try their ice cream. My wife said their almond bar with dark chocolate and vanilla ice cream was the best thing she ever had! The salted caramel bar I had was pretty amazing too.

I thought how good could an ice cream bar be? Well let me tell you, the BEST I have ever had. It’s the combination of the ice cream, chocolate and marshmallow that is just off the charts insane DELICIOUS! Make sure you try one you will not regret it.
When we drove by we saw a sign that said, "World's best ice-cream bars" (the movie Elf came to mind with the 'world's best coffee') so we took the challenge. I have to say, all of us agreed, we had never had a better ice cream bar, than that offered by Donnelly Chocolates. Don't miss it.

We were visiting from Delaware March of 2024 and had a bit of everything. I have never tasted anything close to this. It was beyond outstanding!We were luck as the weather was ideal for shipping and we were able to send some back home for gifts. I am savoring the treats we brought back for ourselves. Hiding some for my secret stash. The owner was amazing. They contacted us to be sure the shipment arrived.Try the ice cream treats as well. They are incredibly rich. I could have split one. One of the best surprises of our trip!
