Our Social Media has exploded recently, and we want to take a moment to simply say THANK YOU for following along with our little Chocolate Shop. ❤️

We’ve put in the hours, the late nights, the early mornings and a whole lot of love to create something that feels uniquely ours—and we really love the direction we’re going.

If you’ve been following, sharing, commenting, visiting, or simply cheering us on from afar, thank you. It means more than you know.

We’re open for two more weekends, and then we’ll close for three weeks to rest, recharge and get ready for the next season.

So… Stock Up! 🍫🍦🥧

We’ll reopen September 24 at 10am.

When we encounter that rare individual who has an ill-informed negative opinion of our neighborhood or our customers, we take issue with their thinly veiled words.

We remind them that this is our home, our business, and our community. We have put in the days, weeks, months and years building and nurturing this unique little corner of our City.

We know our customers. We know our neighbors. We know the community we have worked so hard to be a part of.

You are certainly entitled to your opinion—but when that opinion is rooted in ignorance, negativity, lack of respect or understanding of the people and place you are talking about, don’t expect it to be well received here.

We love this neighborhood. We love our customers. And we are proud of what we have built here. ❤️
