My excuse is I'm going home to New York at the end of this month and I always bring local products home with me. Today I purchased bourbon caramels, a chocolate covered s'mores that's thick! They always have a special of the week on sale and samples at the counter. Myself control failed me today and I sampled the maple cream covered in dark chocolate ( I love anything maple) it was so good! It was the same gentleman that was there the last time I went& hes so nice. The store is always well lit with plenty of items to choose from. There were halloween chocolates and fall chocolates displayed. You can't go wrong buying something from them. I do enjoy supporting local businesses as well.

The best chocolate being their turtles better known as "Derbies". I brought some derbies home for myself and my family- they all loved them. I have debated ordering more from their website because they are truly the best turtles I've ever had. This store also has a lot of Lexington theme souvenirs. This is now a stop on my list whenever I am in Lexington!

Not only do they have all usual confections, but some of my diabetic friends claim that their sugar free candies are outstanding. While everything is delicious, you have got to try their dark chocolate toffee. Even if you are one who typically does not like dark chocolate, I encourage you to try it. You will buy a box guaranteed! (sometimes they have free samples if you ask) I recommend Sharps Candies with absolutely no reservations. I know because I have been a faithful customer for over 25 years!

So far we've tried the milk chocolate key lime truffle and the fleur de sel sea salt caramel truffle and they both were so good! The caramel was thin and tasty and the salt really balanced the sweetness. Their key lime truffle is definitely a top contender, if not number 1, because they were able to pack so much of the lime flavor into a truffle. We definitely recommend this store and will be returning!

Oh hey there Chocolate Holler! I dig the new location :)…read more Located in Greyline Station, it was much easier to find parking here in the large lot behind the building versus the tiny lot at the previous location. It's been exactly one year since we last visited that old location, which has since closed. Though I have many years of memories tied to that one, I'm glad to see that business didn't close entirely. We were welcomed by a super-friendly and super-helpful barista who answered any of my "what is vegan?" questions. I ordered a Sipping Chocolate made with Davao, Philippines Dark Chocolate by Askinosie. Pinay-me was curious to taste chocolate by my people. It's delicious! https://bit.ly/3JHeBQL Hubby had the Brownie Batter Hot Chocolate. Also tasty! We actually came back five days later and had the Chocolate Chai. Yum! All of our drinks were made with oatmilk. Although this location is smaller than the OG location, it actually is very space-efficient with an abundant amount of tables and bar height seating. Also, a bit of outdoor seating and a few spots to sit around Greyline Station. They brought over remnants from the previous location such as board games and a collection of coffee sleeves with written messages on them.

That was a pleasant surprise. The ambiance is very casual and welcoming. We both wanted some coffee and have never been to the chocolate holler so we came here.

The staff were friendly and accommodating, and the drinks were tasty. Would definitely come back here when craving unique chocolatey treats.

After receiving these bourbon (truffle) balls in the mail every Christmas from a dear friend, we…read moreknew we HAD to make a stop at their store. Hubby and I drool, savor and (sometimes even bicker) over the last bourbon ball, because, yes honey, they are that good!! These bourbon balls are not just any bourbon ball either. It's more like a soft, yet, rich, dense, creamy ball of dark chocolate, sitting all pretty in its own little black wrapper ...and you will definitely get a nice taste of bourbon woven into it. Yeah, I'm salivating like Pavlov's dog just writing this. Knowing our Bourbon tasting would be taking us through various parts of Kentucky, we made sure we could meet up with our friends (yes, of course the ones who send us these decadent balls every year) and grab some more chocolate even if it meant arriving 6 minutes prior to closing time. It was completely worth sitting in rush hour traffic just to get there. Upon walking into this cute, little, can we say, "UK Wildcats" candy shop I would say it would be similar to the feeling of walking through my television set while Willie Wonka and the Chocolate Factory is on T.V! (ok, so maybe I am exaggerating just a wee-little bit, there were no Oompa Loompas singing) but I do declare it is heavenly in there! While I really don't suggest going here prior to eating your dinner, I'm sure the counter people at OKC love when ravenous, googly-eyed tourists stop by on empty stomachs! I probably could have stayed in there all damn day, unfortunately I only had 6 minutes and ticking until the shop closed. I moved carefully, yet totally randomly around all the containers and displays of candy acting like my inner 10 year old self but who really cares, not I! The lady working the counter was extremely helpful and generous in offering us a few different samples. I think she could probably tell she hit the jack pot when she offered me a dark chocolate covered potato chip with Himalayan Pink Sea Salt. It was like love and lust at first bite! A super crunchy, rippled salty chip under a nice layer of chocolate!! And if you know me, I adore,adore potato chips, throw some chocolate into the mix and ....I'll be your friend FOR-EVAH!!! I mean, this is the most perfect food for ladies... during shark week or... Even every day! Am I right, or am I RIGHT?!?! Ok, let me contain myself again, this store has some interesting combinations of chocolate along with various types of gifts, toys and trinkets for any occasion. If you need UK gifts, come here! If you need a thank you gift, birthday, shower, anniversary, wedding, divorce, bar/bat-mitzvah, you-name-it gift, they will probably have it! While the prices are a little steep, you get what you pay for and in my case, it was worth every cent! I'm happy to report we gleefully strolled out with a box of our bourbon chocolates and more of those chips! Just stop by and check this store out, I promise you won't be disappointed. The quality and selection will leave you wanting more....and more...and more. Intervention, please!!!

I had zero expectations. I tidied the Fleur de Sel mil chocolate caramel and was blown away. The flavor was off the scale, the powdering of salt mixing beautifully with the chocolate and caramel. Exquisite barely covers the flavor. These are true, confections, way above the Rebecca Ruth junk. Make an effort to go here, you will not regret it!

From the moment you walk in, you're surrounded by the most beautiful pastries and the most incredible smells. Everything looks almost too pretty to eat--but trust me, you'll want to eat ALL of it! The macarons are absolutely phenomenal. They're delicate, flavorful, perfectly textured, and come in so many unique flavors that choosing just a few is nearly impossible. And the pastries are just as amazing. Everything tastes fresh, handcrafted, and made with so much care. Their French-inspired pastries and croissants are seriously next level. The atmosphere is adorable and welcoming, and the staff were friendly and helpful. You can tell this is a place where people genuinely care about what they're creating. There's even upstairs seating that makes it such a cute spot to sit, enjoy a coffee and pastry, and just take a little break. La Petite Délicat is definitely one of those hidden gems that you're going to be glad you found. Whether you're stopping in for a coffee and croissant, grabbing macarons to take home, or treating yourself to something sweet, you really can't go wrong. Absolutely worth the stop--and I will 100% be back!

The almond crossiant was everything it should be buttery, flaky, tasty. The almond filling was really good . As for the Mushroom and Brie crossiant its literally big enough to share if you pair it with fresh fruit or a side salad for brunch. My friend absolutely loved it and I had a small piece of it and again it was buttery and flaky as it should be. And as big as it was we both felt 6.50 was a reasonable price. The opera Cake was chocolatey and had a hint of coffee flavoring in it the filling was light and fluffy. Overall it was really good! Both my friend and I are European (she's from Germany and I'm Swiss and Spanish so we've eaten our fair share of European vs American bakery items. I have to say this was pretty close to what we've had in Europe. The woman at the counter was friendly and engaging. There was no line when I got there in the morning around 8:40 . I can see how on the weekends it gets busy there. The interior was really nice and looked comfortable. The bakery display cases were clean organized, good signage and well lit.

I haven't yet visited the Hamburg location, but it's certainly on my list. During our visit, Kelly shared that Stuarto's hosts monthly cooking classes featuring their products.

A particularly lovely touch was that Kelly remembered us when we arrived for the class, reinforcing the level of care and attention that defines this business. From the quality of the oils and vinegars to the impeccable service and thoughtfully curated events, Stuarto's Olive Oil Company delivers excellence at every level.
