UPDATE -- 5 STARS I wanted to update my previous review after having the opportunity to speak directly with Annette, the owner. Annette was an absolute sweetheart. She personally took the time to call me, listen to my concerns, and address the experience I previously had with an employee. She was incredibly kind, genuine, and thoughtful in the way she handled the situation. I truly felt heard, and I greatly appreciate the care she took to make things right. Annette, thank you so much for taking the time to hear me and for the very thoughtful gift you sent to my family. We truly appreciate it. Of course, the chocolates at Annette's are absolutely decadent and delicious--that was never in question! But after speaking with Annette, I can also say that there is a wonderful heart behind this business. Annette's Chocolates is beautifully situated in the Napa community, and it means even more knowing you're supporting a local business whose owner genuinely cares about her customers and community. A business isn't defined by one interaction; how an owner responds when a concern is brought to their attention says a great deal. Annette handled mine with grace, kindness, and care, and I'm happy to update my review to five stars. I highly recommend Annette's Chocolates and look forward to visiting again. read more

I was disappointed to see so much AI-generated art come from this small local business. It looks unprofessional, muddy, tacky, and as if they only care about results. My hope was that Anette's puts far more time, care, and tact into their actual product, except... What in the blank happened to the chocolates? The Anette's truffles I got when I went wine tasting were nothing like this. These ones I bought in store have a dull, nasty, grainy texture on the outside, as if they're months old. I didn't know if they were even safe to eat. Many of the chocolates in the display looked this way. Is this what happens when your business's values are to do things fast and loose like with AI? This was last week. People in Napa keep recommending Anette's but I don't know how to tell them that yes, I did go, and it was terrible. I was so disappointed because I LOVE chocolate. read more

Try nice slot in the marketplace. I got the Port truffle and the dark caramel square. They were delicious. read more

I come here for their gelato which is excellent! The chocolate truffles are fine. Their peanut butter cup is yum but I am a peanut butter nut already! read more

Swung by after dinner on a Saturday, and there was a line out the door. The line moved steadily, giving us enough time to take a look at the different chocolates and chocolate-flavored treats that are sold in the store. There were some samples of chocolate syrup on display. When we got to the front, we sampled a few flavors and settled on a chocolate and a strawberries and cream split scoop to split. The chocolate was very rich and flavorful, while the strawberry was a little lighter on the strawberry flavor than we would've liked. Both were not too sweet, which was perfect. I'd definitely come back to try out some of the other flavors, as the worker let us know they rotate out different flavors day to day as the previous flavors get finished. read more

I LOVE dark chocolate and was excited to try these when we stumbled upon the retailer. It was very pricey. For two small honeycomb and two small pieces of almond bark , I paid $15. The chocolate was not flavorful, the honeycomb stale, and the almond bark uninspired. This was a very disappointing and expensive chocolate experience. read more

I didn't try the chocolate but I had a small affogato. It was a single shot of espresso with a tiny portion of vanilla which was just perfect for me. Service is kind of slow but that's expected when it's busy. The employees were friendly. read more

Wonderful chocolates and many other confectioneries. Must stop for a sweet treat (they also have awesome ice cream).

It's chocolate. There's not much not to like! They have plenty of options, their display cases are organized and well stocked. They have chocolate wine bottles and other goodies as well. The customer service was great. The lady was patient with our indecisiveness in picking our chocolates. We tried a number of pieces. But specifically I liked the glazed almond crunch, which tasted almost like nestle crunch but with flakes of almond, and the peanut crunch, which was pretty much chocolate covered peanut brittle. It was delicious. Yelp check in also got us a free truffle, so we opted for the cappuccino truffle, and is was so yummy, just the right balance of coffee flavor and sweetness with that perfect chocolate shell. Anette's Chocolates is a great candy/dessert option to have at Oxbow Public Market in Napa. read more

I am reviewing the location in Oxbow Public Market. My wife and I just spent a weekend in Napa and while at Oxbow we stopped by for some chocolates. We decided to do a six piece box. We both tried the cappuccino and dark caramels. The cappuccino had nice chocolate flavor and good coffee flavor but not overwhelming. The Dark Caramels were my favorite of the three I tried this visit. Dark chocolate gave a nice bitter note to the caramel. The reason I am giving 4/5 stars is once in a while you will find a flavor that doesn't match up to the rest. The Belmont sounded like it would be my favorite. Described as "vanilla cream rolled in roasted almonds and chocolate". The outside was great! The inside disappointed me. It was one note. Overall we will definitely come back when in the area. More often then not you get a great chocolate. read more

Stopped in for a treat and was pleasantly surprised by their large selection. Not only an assortment of dark/milk chocolate but ice cream as well. I really enjoyed the almond Carmel covered in dark chocolate and the salted dark chocolate Carmel. The chocolate covered graham cracker was also very good. Enjoyed the crunch of the cookie. My kids also loved the chocolate read more

Super cute chocolate place. I love their truffles and all the interesting items that include chocolate and either wine or liquor. They have ice cream in the back too that was really popular. We stopped in twice! I loved their chocolate covered marshmallows. read more

I LOVE your dark chocolate. It's why I'm giving you four stars. That said...WHAT have you done to the Caramel Corn? You used to have REAL dark chocolate on caramel corn. It was the bomb. There is no longer any "real" chocolate to be found. It's as if you've cooked the chocolate on to the corn or some other crazy thing. You have ruined one of my favorite snacks. The Caramel corn I tasted today gets ZERO stars. Brent? Are you listening? Have you hired someone who is perverting your recipes?! Whatever you and your sister (Annette) had going could have been franchised. Now? You're heading downhill. I hope you figure this out bc you are ruining a great business. There were two other changes not worth mentioning other than same as above. read more

Service was fine enough as I only dropped in for the chocolates (they have a full ice cream bar which seems popular). The chocolates are high dollar for what they are. I got a premade box and a few of the "fresh" ones from the counter. Both were lackluster; the flavor of the chocolate itself was nearly absent in all but their chocolate wine ganaches. The lemon bonbons tasted like flavorless paste. And upon closer inspection of the ingredients used, it's no wonder: lots of cheap fillers and syrups. See's candies is better for the same quality of ingredients. read more

I happened upon Anette's yesterday while looking for a sweet treat. My only regret today is that I didn't buy more. I loved every piece I selected and the ones recommended. I told her my preferences and she selected the perfect match. Great quality and will definitely be back. read more

My friend Parcia and I stumbled across this place while we were on a weekend adventure to napa Valley. There was a yelp check in offer for a free truffle. They had the most friendly service and they actually had a giant selection of choclate to choose from. I got my free truffle and a few other chocolates to snack on. I took a bite and the choclates were packed with flavor and just made me supe happy. This is just the best place and im so happy to have found it. This will deffinatly be my napa Valley stop for whenever I'm in the hour. So happy to have found this place. Its so amazing. read more

I do not like these chocolate truffles. We purchased a variety of truffles/bonbons from the glass case like mint, port, winter cabernet, almondi sabori, chocolate velvet, etc. They were disappointing in texture. The fillings or ganache that you expect to be rich and creamy... they were sandy and not smooth. I think the only redeeming bonbon was the almondi sabori. It had a nice toffee flavor. It was better than the other bonbons because it had a crunchy filling. The truffles that were supposed to be dark (my favorite) were meh. The couverture chocolate they used did not have that nice dark chocolate flavor and snap you expect from high quality bonbons. read more

Mmm...the Cab Dark chocolate truffle is amazing! Thank you Sofia for suggesting I get this flavor! Great service with a friendly smile! read more

Bought a small box of 6 chocolates from Anette's to try, and thought they were all very good though expensive. The salted caramel and hazelnut ones were my favorite even though they said they're most popular for their truffles. Staff was helpful and friendly. read more

Came during the truffle festival. Tried the truffle hazelnut. Very yummy! I didn't think it would come in such a cute packaging as well! read more

Its location in the Oxbow makes it a convenient stop while exploring the market. They have some interesting items - lots of wine infused candy (of course) and even beer brittle! They do have samples to try like their fudge sauces, chocolate sauces, and some candy samples. I really enjoy their chocolate sauces like their port chocolate sauce. My friend did buy a box of 6 chocolates for us to sample - we had the raspberry truffle and the coconut truffle, but nothing to write home about compared to other chocolate shops in the Bay Area. I did really like their mango/raspberry squares - they were like jelly candy covered in sugar. It was like eating jellied dried mango covered with sugar, same with the raspberry. Super tasty and would recommend trying some of those. Also their dark chocolate honeycomb is really good too - sweet and crunchy inside paired perfectly with the bitterness of dark chocolate. I'll have to check out their DT Napa location, since I've read it has a bigger store and there's even an ice cream shop inside. While I enjoyed tasting their chocolate sauces, I couldn't justify buying one whole bottle for myself knowing it wouldn't get a lot of use, especially when the bottles are a bit expensive (their 5 oz bottle is $10). I think having them on a sundae would be great though... Don't get me wrong. It's a great chocolate shop to check out while at Oxbow... but it doesn't quite compare to other chocolatiers in the Bay Area as far as price and flavors go. It gets stars for their convenient location, samples, and those fruity sugared squares (funny how the one candy i enjoyed from them was NOT chocolate... and I love chocolate!). read more

Anette's Chocolates is at the Oxbow Public Market, this is a second location. They have a location at 1321 First St, Napa. I got to try their chocolate Cabernet sauce w/ some Three Twins ice cream-I thought the sauce was just ok. I liked and got their Firey Beer Brittle for $9.95. You can try it at the counter - just ask. They also have regular Beer Brittle and a Cabernet Brittle. Credit cards taken. The bag they gave me fell apart by the time I got to the car so be careful. The glue on the bottom doesn't hold up. read more

Love the variety and history of this company. Pete is amazing! Excellent service and knowledge! Thank you!

Very expensive chocolates 2 bucks a piece like godiva pricing mint patties are really good though

We visited the shop whole visiting Napa! It was lovely to try all the samples. The chocolates looked amazing! We were drawn to the wine chocolate syrups and the brittle! We fell in love with the lime chili peanut brittle and bought 3! Very yummy! I would recommend the brittle! We have talked about checking out the bigger shop a few blocks down! I'm pretty excited to try some ice cream next time! read more

After spending the afternoon at Oxbow Public Market and the surrounding areas, I decided to end the day with a few pieces of chocolate for later that night after our drive back to San Jose. I picked about 6 pieces from their display cases. While I don't consider myself the chocolate expert, I have been to many good chocolatiers in my life (Teuscher and Cocoabella are at the top of my list, but I'm definitely not too good for Sees. Stay away from Godiva though). In short, the chocolate here was a little too sweet and didn't have that "oomph" factor. It wasn't horrible, but just didn't have enough to make me want to come back and try other things. With Three Twins Ice Cream and Ca Momi in the same shopping area, I'd much rather go to those places first for my sweet tooth craving. read more

My boyfriend took me to Napa for the day as apart of my birthday extravaganza. Stopped by here after lunch. We grabbed the Chocolate nuggat with almonds. I also had a pecan turtle with Carmel and chocolate. I think it's called the chuckle? It was amazing. Will visit again. read more

Also on our Foodies on Foot tour, we got to stop here for some yummy brittle and chocolate to end our tour. We tried the cabarnet chocolate and it was delish as well as a sample of the two different kinds of brittle they had for samples. Great place to pick up some brittle and chocolate for gifts or yourselves. read more

This is yet another store in the Oxbow Market in Napa They have a selection of hand made candy. They usually have one type of candy that is being handed out has samples. The most amazing section is chocolate sauce tasting, most of them have alcohol in them: Dark Chocolate Merlot Fudge, Dark Belgian Chocolate Fudge, Italian Cherry Chocolate Sauce with Merlot and Smooth Caramel Brandy sauce and you can taste all of them. They also carry a couple types of brittle for testing. read more

The sweets in this shop are hand made and delicious perfection. We had the wrapped salted caramels, dark chocolate covered caramels, a scoop of chocolate wine and vanilla and a scoop of double chocolate. (There were two of us and we were there 4 days ) Expensive? Yes. Worth it? TOTALLY read more

We came here today to buy some chocolate. We were really looking forward to it. As we have shopped at the one downtown frequently. The guy was too busy in the back on his phone. I walked up to the counter three separate times. Hoping he would be done on the phone. He never was. We went to Kollars Lame as heck! Employee of the month. Hahhahaha read more

Every time I'm at Oxbow I have a habit of stopping by Anette's. Just to stare. And try their liquor infused chocolate syrups. I've visited their other location (also located on First St) but I hardly get anything there except for gelato. However over the summer I was on a serious salted caramel hunt and I tried Anette's, both in dark and milk chocolate. Their chocolates are divine! The chocolate tastes very quality and the caramel was buttery and thick. The salt it's topped with adds a nice kick of balance. I do prefer the dark chocolate piece over the milk one. The only other piece I've tried from them was the Lemon Truffle which was decent. The dark chocolate overpowered the lemon which was a shame. While these pieces are pretty pricey, I'd say they're worth a try. At least once (: read more

Not as impressed as other reviewers. Nice little shop to stop in after dinner for good chocolate as they're open till 9 inside the Oxbow Public Market. They have a variety of different truffles and wrapped bars as well. I was particularly interested in trying the Peruvian chocolate - as Ninja is from Peru. I did a proper sampling - several truffles from the case plus a sampler of their 65% cacao bars from different countries.. Overall, they're pricy & just okay. Not bad...but not Nuubia. read more

Tried to find something left from my childhood when this was Partrick's Candy. That has been swept away. Now, you will find pretentious chocolate and service. The chocolate is not very good either with very odd choices and combinations. There is better chocolate choices found at Costco during the holidays. It was a sad visit. Unfortunately, the efforts to make Napa hoity toity can be found here. Most people prefer authenticity these days and at least good customer service at a minimum. Not found here. read more

Annette's truffles are so delicious. There were infusions of nuts, fruit, berries, milk chocolate vs. dark chocolate, marshmallow, and liquor. Some were buttery, sweet with a smooth finish, tangy with hints of fruit, or rich with a kick (liquor) and bitter finish (cocoa). I would have liked to see a variation of experiments with herbs not typically found in chocolate, such as Lavendar etc... read more

Anette's Chocolates is an Oxbow must-stop Salted Caramel - nice dense, chewy, caramel w/ a good ratio of chocolate surrounding & the perfect ratio of salt to give it that sweet / salty quality I always seek in my caramels Milk Chocolate Honeycomb - light & crunchy honeycomb w/ the perfect thickness layer of chocolate Mac-Caramel Flip - this was a mini version of the classic pecan turtle......whole macs & chewy caramel all topped by a dollop of milk chocolate Basically, you can't go wrong here w/ your choices & our list of go-to's is growing to the point of ridiculous.....and this is NOT a bad thing! read more

Too much good food in this market! after hitting up all the gluten free things next storefront over, i had to control myself. So I got only 4 chocolates. 2 pistachio turtles and 2 Danish Flødebolle. Both were quite tasty but also a bit sweeter than what Im used to in my chocolates. Girl working the front was super cute and I think that's how they draw you in! read more

Nice chocolate store in the Oxbox market. I really enjoyed the almond crusted, brandy, and cabernet filled truffles. It was ~$6.50 for 4 pieces, so not that bad price-wise. Great for a snack or dessert if you're looking around in the Oxbow. read more

Chocolate and Carmels are very delicious! First time I had them, they were little gifts from a Napa hotel. I had to have more, so I went to the Oxbow Market and stocked up. Sea salt Carmel with milk chocolate is my favorite!! read more
