Norman Love Confections - Sarasota

Great spot to pop in for coffee and a sweet snack while shopping- large selection of chocolates, baked goods, ice cream and sweet treats.

Love the Gelato from here and my fave its the tiramisu I asked for a sample the lady said they don't give out samples 🤪🤪

I love their bonbons so much that my husband surprises me with a full box every now and then and we live in NJ! Every time we visit Florida, we make sure to stop by for some chocolate. It’s hard to pick favorites because they’re all just too good!

Always friendly and helpful trying new chocolates

Delicious chocolates!!!!!

Wonderful Chocolates! Great selection of handmade treats.

Would've been a 5 except for this experience:
Tried to contact NL via a couplemways, only to be blocked.
Emailed them days ago with no response.

We are enthusiastic fans of Norman Love, bring their creations to dinner parties, and make frequent stops to self indulge at the LWR location. However, we were stunned to learn our favorite has been discontinued.

The Red Eye is the best item for us and we've enjoyed it over the past couple years. We stopped in a few days ago only to be told “the weekly special” is no longer available. Frankly, the Red Eye is one of the reasons we frequent Norman Love. When we get one, we also buy other treats and chocolates.

Help me understand. It;s basically a milkshake with shots of espresso. If it wasn't cost effective, then charge more. Don't tell me I can't have it. You still make milkshakes and espresso. What's the big deal? Charge me more, don't make it a special. I could essentially order a chocolate shake and 2 shots of espresso and voila, there’s a red eye.

Most upsetting, you didn't answer my question from a couple days ago. Customer service?. We may not be back.

The place is beautiful, the staff is very nice, but they play HORRIBLE, horrible, horrible, music.

This is an upper-end chocolatier. Your corporate office needs to choose the music selection more appropriately.

Xavier - awesome customer service. I truly appreciate you!

Wow! We had the Brookie and Tiramisu as well as sampling the gelato and truffles. Everything was excellent. The employee that assisted us was wonderful as well.

I’m very disappointed. We arrived at 7:05 after driving 30 minutes, a party of 8 people, to find incredibly rude staff and shocking service. All the chairs were up as if they were closed and they said we had to go outside and sit, and seeing how aggravated we were they said “ just take them down then”. We had small children with us. I then started to order my crepe and they said “ we don’t make crepes after 7 pm” I was shocked, you close in 55 minutes why are you not willing to make something for customer? They told us this is how the manager Emily runs this location and it’s her rules to close everything down an hour before closing time. Can you imagine ? Don’t waste your time - go anywhere else, literally anywhere. Huge let down.

Wonderful chocolates. The shop was very clean and inviting. The box containing the chocolates is very well-made and has pockets for each piece. The chocolate pieces are beautiful and illustrate the flavors they contain. I plan to buy more chocolate from this store.

great desserts!

Very friendly staff. Great coffee, chocolates, and some pastries too.
