Gearharts Fine Chocolates

So far I've had the Maya chocolate, brown butter caramel chocolate, a hot cocoa from the cafe, and the Maya drinking chocolate mix, and they have all been incredibly delicious! The service has been really friendly too and my very first time in the store, the cashier even covered the cost of my Maya chocolate to celebrate my daughter's (of the same name) birthday. I also love that you can see into the kitchen where they're making chocolates, and the store always smells incredible!

Update: also had the brownie and they're deliciously rich! Found out the cashier who paid for our Maya chocolate is named Amy, and she is a joy to interact with, always upbeat and friendly, so be sure to go at least once when she's on shift :)

My fiancé and I’s first time trying Gearharts and hands down the best chocolate we’ve ever had. We got an assortment of 8 chocolates and I’ll be completely honest, they were gone before we left the parking lot!

First off the raspberry chocolate croissant is delicious with a crisp outer crust, lightly sweet with a good amount of raspberry and chocolate fudge inside. The chocolate cake was good as well but not as much as the croissant. For the coffee you are better off with just a regular coffee because the mocha was overpowering and that’s because we didn’t have the coffee with the pastries. Unfortunately didn’t get a chance to try chocolates, next time.

My husband loves chocolate, so for our anniversary we went and watched them make it while we made our selections. The staff was very attentive and answered all of our questions. We selected 4 different flavors of chocolate to try and a slice of flourless chocolate torte. That piece of torte was to die for!! Highly recommend if you love rich chocolate!!

Purchased 8 assorted chocolates, and they are below average and are completely missing their described flavors.

Delicious pastries and chocolates.

I purchased Gearharts chocolate as a gift for my 75 y/o cousin in Ohio. She loved them. Delivery was prompt, service in the store was exceptional. I sadly forgot to get some chocolate for the ride home. Highly recommend Gearharts chocolate.

Smell of chocolate when you walk in the door. The chocolates are outstanding as well as the spicy chocolate bark.
