I can't believe I didn't know this place existed until just a couple weeks ago when I saw it on Yelp. I have a major sweet tooth, I probably bleed chocolate. So needless to say, this went up to the top of my queue. Finally, I visited last week around 11:15am just after they opened and had a great experience, and of course walked out with some delicious truffles. The owner was very friendly and talked to us about the variety of chocolates, where they're sourced, which ones he prefers etc. They sell some local artisan products/merch (soaps, cards, etc) as well. After much internal struggle (I wanted everything), I settled on an 8 count of truffles and got some citrusy, caramel, and alcohol-infused flavors. I really liked the strawberry champagne and tangerine truffles. I will definitely return to satiate my sweet tooth. This place also does private chocolatier classes (truffles, molds, bars etc) for groups of 2-10 people. They don't have a set schedule, you just call to set a time that works well for you. Definitely something else I would be interested in checking out. read more

The reviews here are amazing - 4.9 Yelp rating over 29 reviews, lowest reviews are TWO 4's, can't remember seeing that before! This small place offers a very nice array of flavored, hand crafted chocolate bars, bonbons, and more, crafted by folks who care about what they are creating! I tried : bars - Milk Chocolate, Sea Salt, and Ocean Tide (sea salt and carmel). All 3 were excellent, but the Milk Chocolate is the very best of the lot - it rivals any I tasted in Europe. The sea salt is excellent, even a bit addictive with the hook at the end of a bite. That's the good news, the bad news is that each bar is 2.2 ounces and costs $10 each! Frankly, that is value prohibitive for many folks - there is little value here! Obviously, many see this differently, but I'll stay with my opinion! Ambiance - 4 Food - 4.5 Service - 5 Value - 2 read more

Great artisan chocolate store. Chocolatier Rom loves his product and is such a nice guy. Some of his amazing concoctions are chai chocolate and Peruvian Ucayali with floral and caramel notes. The truffles are out of this world with flavors like bourbon, wildflower, coconut, and so on. We bought some key lime coconut chocolate that I'm dying to try this week. They also sell honey and soap by other local vendors. This is a precious place. read more

What a delightful experience l had at this mom and pop chocolatier. While my eyes were gazing on the bon bons, bars, and other items l chatted w the owners about their pay it forward efforts to local farms and various shops in our area and about the international farms who produce the cocoa beans they source to make their chocolate goodies. Very interesting! For something different, they offer chocolate making classes, l may come back for that especially if l get samples! If you need to feed your sweet tooth stop in, pick a treat or two and have a nice talk w the owners and their cocoa beans backstory. read more

I had just had some of my favorite pizza at A Slice of Napoli and before getting in my car, spotted this chocolatier across the parking lot and said "Hey, I could really go for something sweet, let me check this place out" Well I'm so glad I did. The first thing that hits you as you walk into Brasstown is the smell of roasting cocoa beans. The owners Rom and Barbara purchase fair-trade cacao beans from various regions of the world, roast them on premises, process them into chocolate, and wrap them and place them on shelves for us to enjoy! This is true boutique chocolate, Rom was the one helping me make my selections, and he could tell me about all the different flavor profiles available in the different bars he had for sale. There is so much to know about simple cacao beans and how their growing process influences the taste of the final product, and this mans knows them all like a producer of fine wine. I went with a bar of the Peruvian Ucayali 70% dark. I tell you what. You have never tasted a more robust and flavorful dark chocolate bar in your life. I was able to control myself somewhat and break a few pieces off each day for a few days. I also purchased a 4 pack of bon bons, coconut, bourbon honey, salted caramel, and raspberry. My favorite was definitely the coconut, it was like biting into what I can only describe as the world most artisanal Mounds bar. All were delicious. Be prepared to pay a premium for this chocolate, but also expect incredible premium flavor too. Also know that you are directly supporting both a local business, but also, farmers in Latin and South America practicing sustainable farming and getting a proper share of the proceeds. So head down to Country Club road and get you some of the best chocolate money can buy, it's important to treat yourself, especially right now! read more

For chocolate lovers, you have to make a stop here! The storefront is small and quaint, but when you enter, you definitely can tell you've walked into a little chocolate factory! The lady who helped us was so so sweet and helped to answer all of our questions. There's a good variety of flavor options to choose from, and I could see this being a great option for catered events! I would love if they had white chocolate options as well. And there's more than just chocolate there too. We were also offered some samples of honey and ended up buying a jar of honey and orange marmalade from local producers. read more

(4.5 stars) Coming from the chocolate desert that is High Point, Brasstown Chocolate was a welcome find that reminded me of Foster Hobbs Coffee: a small concern that uses high-quality ingredients and takes its products seriously without a hint of elitism. When my wife and I visited, we were impressed by Brasstown's selection: more than half a dozen bars and at least as many bon-bon flavors. The chocolates in question use organic fair-trade cacao beans, and each country of origin lends the resulting chocolate a different flavor profile. Considering the ingredient quality, pricing was more affordable than expected: we lucked out and hit a $1 apiece sale on the bon-bons (bars run under $10). A sampler thereof and a chili bar made for a promising haul. The bon-bons did not disappoint. From amaretto to hazelnut to Irish cream, each flavor was recognizable - and tasty. The chili bar was more subdued than others I've had, offering a little bit of heat on the back end. Black Mountain remains my go-to chocolate spot for Winston visits, but for those who live in town, Brasstown's product quality, flavor assortment, and customer service make it absolutely worth visiting. read more

Nice place, nicer people, and extensive bon bon selections and variety of bars to tempt your sweet tooth... Godiva who? I tried the cappuccino and the bavarian bon bons, and the high quality and flavor of each were instantly apparent. The cappuccino's coffee notes were evident. The bavarian was impressively smooth, without the hash bitterness that can sometimes accompany a dark variety. I'm looking forward to future visits when I'm on a mission to pick up unique gifts to enjoy on special occasions, especially with all the chocoholics in the family! read more

When you reach for the door handle, brace yourself because when you open the door BAM!!! the aroma of chocolate hits you even through your mask and your mouth will water. We each bought the 4 pack of Bon-Bons. You can choose your flavors so I chose, coconut, chocolate and to prevent a fight, 2 of the Bavarian creams. The size is perfect so you can pop the whole thing right in - or you can choose to savor it and bite it. I'm a popper, you only live once. To be clear, this is a few steps above "homemade" candy. They literally craft their candy from the raw cacao bean all the way to delicious, beautiful morsels. If I had to choose one word to describe the taste... I would say: puredecadencethatmeltsinyourmouth. These owners were very friendly and informative. You may want to follow them on Facebook because after Covid, they plan to have candy making classes! @yelpnctriad. @brasstown_chocolate read more

Wonderful chocolates. Dark chocolate fan and really enjoyed their bonbons, especially the Bavarian cream, strawberry champagne, and Mocha, and their chocolate bars. Their 85% dark chocolate bar doesn't last long once we take it home and we recently tried their blueberry chocolate bar which is now a favorite. This is a must try for a sweet treat. We also found on our last visit that they have chocolate making classes which we're excited to possibly try in the future. read more

This is one of the most charming shops I've been to! The owner was super helpful I went in for some chocolate and didn't even know they also sell soaps and honeys. The display of chocolate has so many choices that are not only aesthetically appealing but the perfect bite sized piece. They also have a mixture of chocolate milk/dark etc. I tried the bourbon honey and chocolate cream and liked both. I think this is the perfect size treat for when you're craving a bit of chocolate and don't want to overdo it. I will absolutely be back. read more

I love chocolate and supporting local businesses. Brasstown has amazing chocolate and is a small local chocolatier. We have come before for a Yelp event, and everything was so good. We came on Halloween weekend. They were giving candy to kids and we had to buy some yummy treats. We ordered a white chocolate ghost, bonbons, and a milk chocolate bar. Everything was fresh and delicious. My favorite was the tangerine bonbon. My son loved his ghost. We plan to come back and try more yummy treats. read more

INTRO: Basically a local chocolate factory in the backyard of Winston-Salem! All of their chocolates are manufactured from bean to bar in Winston-Salem, and they have a wide assortment of flavors, including peach & mango, cranberry & orange, key lime & toasted coconut, and more. They have chocolate-making classes that people can sign up for as well! DESSERT 1: Chocolate bar ($7.00) - I opted for the peach & mango bar, and it was definitely the right move. The peach and mango flavors were outstanding, and the chocolate itself was extremely rich. I honestly couldn't believe how much fruit flavor I was getting from a chocolate bar. Check them out if you're in the area! (8/10) PARKING: Tons of parking in the parking lot! WORTH IT? YES, they source their cocoa beans from all other the world, including Tanzania, Peru, and Ecuador, and manufacture their chocolate IN WINSTON-SALEM. (Overall 7.5/10 - lots of potential!) read more

I love this place! Just found out about them recently and will be going back soon to purchase more chocolates for Mother's Day. The story of how they started, and where they source their cocoa beans is so neat, considering each country gives a different flavor and aroma. All their beans are fair trade, which I support 100%. The owners are very kind and knowledgeable of all things chocolate. Their bars are delicious, unique and you can definitely tell they are high quality. These are not your average bars! My favorite item though is their coconut bon bons. I love anything coconut and these hit the spot. They also serve coffee and hot chocolate and have additional items like fudge, truffles, cookies, etc. My favorite part of the store is the smell when you walk in. You'll see. Support local and give this place a try! read more

Award-winning dark chocolate made in-house right here in the Triad! I had a great experience with the friendly folks at Brasstown. As a Yelp Elite, I was entitled to 1 free bar, but had trouble picking one. So I ended up taking advantage of the 3 for $15. Usually, they're $7 a bar, so walking away with 4 was a real treat. I learned that they specialize in dark chocolate and make it all in-house right there! Additionally, they're big on supporting local, carrying products from other local businesses within their shop. I love that! So far, I've tried the peach + mango chocolate bar and was incredibly surprised by how tasty this fruit-infused dark chocolate bar tasted. I expected an obnoxious artificially infused taste of straight mango+peach, but was instead met with the delicious quality taste of what I expect will be award-winning dark chocolate with an infused hint of that fruity mango/peach taste. Very different from what I've experienced. Additionally, they offer chocolate-making classes and offered me a little wheel chart to help guide my tasting experience. I've never enjoyed chocolate like this before and walked away feeling like a chocolate connoisseur. If you're into dark chocolate, you'll have to check this place out! read more

Wanted a local chocolatier for some Valentine candy. Didn't want some chain store mass produced stuff. Found this business on Yelp and after reading the reviews decided to give it a look. Glad I did, it was marvelous. There were a nice variety of flavors to choose from making up a box of bonbons. Some places I've been have multiple cases which just confuse you making selections. Their selection was just right. I opted for the 8 piece. It was a big hit. They have a small box of 4 for an occasional treat too. They also offer classes making chocolates. Highly recommend this place. read more

Oh good gravy this is the best chocolate I have EVER had. One word. AUTHENTIC. I just have to say that the owner was so sociable and loves to spark up a conversation with you. I talked with him for a while and he was super friendly and had a lot of knowledge about the chocolate and had some insight on what his favorites were! They have a variety of different kinds of dessert to choose from. There was a nice display of bon bons that caught my eye. After rattling off a few that I would like to purchase, the owner started packing them up for me in a nice to-go box. I got 4 different kinds of bon bons and a chocolate bar. It was tempting to see that they had coffee, but I'll get that the next time! Who doesn't like some chocolate with their coffee?! The owner was more than willing to go out of his way to get you anything you needed, which was so appreciated. I could tell everything was made with love and it definitely tasted authentic. When I opened up the chocolate bar packaging, I was shocked to see a detailed description with a cool map graphic on it! I'm definitely taking all of my chocolate loving friends to this place so they can have the same experience I did! This is why I LOVE supporting local places and ditch the chains. You get to meet the face behind the product and establish a personal connection with the place as well! read more

We were in recently for the elite event, and when Lace mentioned they didn't have the blueberry bar she was looking for, the owner offered to make it special for her! For some background, we came last year and my wife got the blueberry bar. I somehow accidentally managed to throw it out on her! I haven't been able to get it for her since, as they do have limited hours that usually conflict with my work schedule. But sure enough, we came in a few days later, and there were 3 blueberry bars made and put aside reserved just for her! Beyond that, he didn't even make us pay ahead to reserve it! This is a true example of going above and beyond for the customers, and it's worth updating my review to point this out. Thanks so much for helping me redeem myself for my egregious error! read more

Had a 5 star experience! The shop was quaint, clean and smelled terrific. There was a fan running to keep the chocolate cool. On the work table you could see that chocolate making was in the process with bowls of melted goodness at the ready. My exchange with the owner was courteous and pleasant which these days good customer service goes a long way. Now onto the chocolates! There was a great selection of different chocolate bars ranging from sea salt (award winning) to chili and even blueberry! The bars had a good cacao content making them "healthier" than most chocolate ( hey I'm trying to give you an excuse to eat it!) They also had a window case of handmade fresh goodies from fudge to truffles and bon bons. I think I scored the deal of the day as I got an adorable gift box filled with various bon-bons that were only $1 each!! Amaretto came highly recommended by the shop owner - they even had champagne filled. In these weird covid times why not treat yourself? Skip the Hershey's and support local business while enjoying handcrafted gourmet chocolate! read more

When you open the door and the smell of fresh handmade chocolate swallows you up, you know it's going to be amazing! The owners were so wonderful and their chocolate is divine. Lots of options to choose from, and reasonably priced, this is absolutely a place to grab a luxurious treat for you or a gift for someone you love! I opted for 2 of their chocolate bars, Blueberry & Sea Salt. I also chose 8 of their truffles... Mocha, Raspberry, Bavarian Cream, Bourbon Honey, Coconut, Vanilla Butter Rum, Tangerine, & Sea Salt Caramel. I can't wait to try them all, and next time I am in Winston, I absolutely will go back. read more

Hand crafted chocolate with a personal touch. The owner is so kind! The flavor is award worthy

This upscale chocolatier is located on Country Club Rd at Peacehaven, just around the corner from TJ's Deli, near Ollie's. They have a few pastries such as cookies, hand pies, fudge and plenty of chocolates. The owners are very helpful and knowledgeable, and they purchase fair trade cacao beans which they roast, process and package right on the premise. They also offer coffee drinks and hot chocolate. Full chocolate bars are $7, the individual chocolate bon bons are $2 each and hand pies are $4. The fruity tones of the cacao bean really shine through in their chocolates. They can tell you about each one, it's origins and flavors. It's a great educational process that accentuates the chocolate eating experience. Be sure to visit this decadent little gem when you need a little smile on your face. read more
