Once upon a time we joined in on one of Isabella's classes at her manufacturing facility. We…read morelearned about her chocolate making processes, travel experience and how she acquires her favorite & top tier product/ingredients that she personally selects & has familial and cultural connections to. Since then she is continuing to produce products and flavors that live up to the Dallmann name! Definitely Gourmet Quality!!! Isabella and her staff are true artists when it comes down to creating mini art pieces with unique flavors to choose from. You get to customize your order online (as this establishment is not a storefront) make your payment and it will be shipped to you. By special appointment only you can do a pick up. I suggest reaching out to them in order to arrange that. Her business facility is in an industrial complex shared with other family owned businesses and mainly this establishment is only for her private preparations of her delicious creations! Kept very clean and functional! We've been sporadic as customers ever since we got to pipe in the Grenache ourselves and sample the chocolate making process & yummy goodness! She's got very creative packaging too. So a special occasion can be very personalized too. Dark, milk, and even vegan options available. You've a choice to swap or double up on a flavor choice if she happens to run out of a particular selection. Truly spectacular products. You might even see them at a chocolate fest, or even wine or food pairing type event elsewhere! This time we tried a bar in conjunction too a chocolate box and my daughter is happy with it! I mean who doesn't love chocolate for any occasion but February is just that more special in our home. Thanks Bella and staffers! You're the best!

I could tell how passionate the owner, Jim, is about the business. He crafts his chocolate from ethically sourced beans, roasts them and makes the most deeply dark chocolate! My favorite was the chocolate ganache with walnuts! But there's such a variety of flavors to chose from. There's even chocolate tea and hot chocolate available. I'd like to return to take one of the classes. They offer classes for children. But they also offer a 2-3 hour class where they teach how to temper and decorate 21 pieces of chocolate that you get to take home! Until then I'll just have to settle with eating them!

The staff is super nice and there's a big window you can see the factory in action.

Firecracker, Churro, Honeycomb, and Spicy Maya! Tastes so good!

Was walking by and saw they had a new matcha bark (of course we want to try). We came in and weren't greeted then when we asked for a little sample the blonde girl was giving us a bit of a weird look. After a minute the head lady (i'm assuming) asked if we were looking for something, which is a normal thing to ask, but her tone and their body language made the whole situation uncomfortable. We just bought a sample bag because we didn't feel welcomed at all, usually we like to sample a variety of barks before purchasing a bundle.

The employees were friendly and very welcoming you can sense the friendly atmosphere. Is a small place with huge selection of sweets and goodies. There is a variety of fine chocolates, 75 different flavors of truffles, cookies cover with chocolate, bonbons cover with white and milk chocolate , strawberries, pretzels, Rice Krispies treats, apples cover with chocolate, nuts, chamoy and so other specialties. You can create your own chocolate box of truffles and chocolates as you wish. Purchased the Apple Venus / Chamoy, the Granny Smith apple was fresh with layers of Chamoy, tamarind, sprinkle with a mixture of Chile powder, sugar and salt. The Chocotreats / Bonbons Venus, cover with white and milk chocolate were just perfect not too sweet. By the way the store catalog is extensive of the many combinations you can imagine. Will definitely come back and will create my own chocolate box.

I got to try a Macaron making class and it was a fun experience. It was supposed to take 2.5 - 3 hours. The other party was late so we started about 10 minutes late and we went way over 3 hours. The class is very hands on. You get detailed instructions, and a template for the Macaron shapes. The instructor is the owner, and she is Cordon Bleu trained and loves making Macarons and Chocolate. She will tell you all about her schooling, background, experiences, and the history of the Macaron. The instructor will walk you through the process step by step, explaining why you have to be precise and follow each step completely and in order if you want to get good results. She also explains how you may need to add a little extra of an ingredient based on the humidity, the science behind it, etc. You make the Macaron shells and you also make Italian butter cream filling to put in the Macaron. You will get 14-16 delicious Macarons depending on how you follow the template design setup. Enjoy my photos.
