I was driving through Gardnerville and found this quaint Chocolate Shop. The store was clean and inviting. Harvey and Lynn, the owners, were friendly and helpful. They offered samples. There was a vast variety of decadent candies and cookies. They also had a large variety of sugar-free Chocolates. They had cookies for the Presidential Inauguration, with pictures of President Trump and Vice President Vance. They were so cool. I highly recommend this candy shop. read more

Chocolate Shoppe - My chocolate haul.... - Desserts Near Me - Gardnerville, Nevada

I recently had the pleasure of enjoying a few of this Shoppe's chocolate combinations at a Temple Bat Yam "Purim in the Powder" fundraiser. If actually been near the Chocolate Shoppe on several occasions as Gayle and I shop at the Raley's that share the same commercial strip, stop for Papa Murphy's Pizza next store, and drive past it while she and I head home for the Douglas County community center gym. Sometimes great small business places are just under your nose! read more

Update review: I will always support a local business whenever I can. One of the reasons I support local is those business owners care about their customers. I had a mishap on my last visit and was over charged. Lynn the store owner reached out to me make it right. She offered me a check for the difference or items from her store worth the value and she would ship it to me. This shop is a chocolate wonderland, so I chose my favorite chocolate items and came home to my perfectly packaged items sitting next to my door. Their smores cup is the best thing I've ate in a long time! Thank you Lynn! I'll see you in-store on my trip through Gardnerville. If you are passing by and a chocolate fan like me, stop in. I promise you'll thank me later. read more

Lynn and her team are amazing! I was looking for Tahoe-shaped cookies for favors for my wedding, and I was so excited when I came across the Chocolate Shoppe online. Lynn was able to personalize the label with our wedding info and used purple ribbon to match our wedding colors. The cookies were huge! I think they were about 5 inches tall and almost 3 inches wide. The sugar cookie is coated in chocolate. In my opinion, the cookie is not too sweet for a sugar cookie. It is so big that it took me at least 2 or 3 days to finish 1 cookie. They were the perfect favor for my wedding! I highly recommend the Chocolate Shoppe to everyone! read more

Nice little business and the folks there are wonderful. Some things come down to personal taste I guess. I just find the chocolates too sweet. When I eat them all I taste is sweet sugar not chocolate, even the dark chocolate which should have a stronger robust chocolate taste but it does not. read more

Have been here a couple of times now. Each time everyone is so friendly. There is so much chocolate yumminess you don't know where to start. Very hard to decide which ones and to not buy everything. The samples are fantastic! Great place for getting a tasty treat or a gift for someone. read more

Happiness is a box of chocolates and a good book...this definitely fits my hubby and he is quickly converting our lil granddaughter to his wily ways with their search for decadent chocolates to nibble on and enjoy. Low and behold we stumbled upon the Chocolate Shoppe during a wonderful holiday event learning all about the local shop in Gardnerville & the fabulous owner Lynn. She shared about how long they had been in business, about how they have these AMAZING chocolates that are premium quality to include sugar free andd have photo cookies along with other personalized items plus Nevada chocolates! WE were IN!! Headed down to Gardnerville in the Raley's shopping center during the Christmas holiday, the staff was beyond helpful plus offered manyyy FREE samples ~OMChocolately deliciousness!! We grabbed a hand-held shopping basket, filling it to the rim with truffles, turtles, caramels, chocolate covered marshmallows, bordeoux and a Christmas gift basket that was full of a little bit of everything. We even signed up for emails and rewards for our next visits. Thank you Lynn, Chocolate Shoppe and staff, we WILL be back again and again to fill manyyy baskets and I have a feeling that hubby & granddaughter will be coming for special visits too. read more

This is a great local store with an amazing array of chocolates and treats sold singularly, by the pound and also presented in gift baskets. The folks that work there are exceedingly nice and helpful and always offer a free treat when you walk in the door. There are two full rooms on the interior to view their products and this has become a regular stop for holidays and gifts in between. Hope you enjoy! read more

Wow this place is awesome!!! Best chocolate shop in the area for sure. Super friendly and helpful staff. They have everything you can think of and was super surprised to find a large selection of sugar free chocolate options as well! We ended up buying a whole bag of stuff and they do custom orders and have awesome molds to make chocolate cowboy boots etc! They ship too so if you fall in love with their KitKats, snickers or nut brittles you can order and have shipped to you. The best thing about the is place was the staff and their selection of items. We will be regulars now that we know they are right here in town! read more

The Chocolate Shoppe is a special and welcome sweet spot in Gardnerville! The candy is fresh and handmade with something for everyone! The folks who work there are fun and act like little elves with goodies for everyone in the shop. Kudos to the owners! When there was an error made with the delivery date on a delivery I had ordered for my niece who was undergoing surgery for cancer, Lyn made it right! Not only did she immediately send out a new basket of chocolates but she also called me to follow up and keep me informed! read more

They are very sweet and have everything you could ever imagine and more, all delicious. I came after Christmas so not only were they doing bogo on all the Christmas themed treats but they threw in a free Christmas tree cookie. Definitely think it's worth visiting after a holiday. I can't believe how much stuff I got for under $30. Even the chocolates that weren't on sale were priced reasonably. read more

There's no doubt that Lynn & and her wonderful team at The Chocolate Shoppe are the happiest of chocolatiers around and they're spreading their joy and passion through smiles, and of course, delicious and beautiful confections. What started as a wholesale business dating to 1994 turned into a retail shop in Gardnerville that would shortly turn into a pillar of the community that locals could depend on for phenomenal service and delicious treats. Whether a regular or a new customer, The Chocolate Shoppe will treat you the same, eager to serve you with smiles and assistance in helping you find the perfect treat to brighten up your day. The Chocolate Shoppe caters to every occasion, working with their customers to customize the perfect gifts, be it special photos printed on yummy cookies or themed and well-thought out selections made into beautiful baskets. Whatever idea you have, they will try their best to make it come to life since they make everything in house and have that flexibility. The grounds of the shop go into full swing when the holidays arrive throughout the year, with holiday-themed treats out the door.  Whatever the holiday, The Chocolate Shoppe works throughout the year in customizing treats, making them fun and festive for all to enjoy. If awards were being given out for the most outgoing, most festive, most passionate, top tastiest, and best all-around chocolate shop, I would give all of them to The Chocolate Shoppe, located in Gardnerville, NV. I am truly honored to have met such passionate owners and workers that run the Choclate Shoppe. Reasons Why I Love the Chocolate Shoppe -Passionate owners and workers make the best chocolates -No one does holidays treats like them -They have free samples -They have a motto that everything has to taste as good as it looks (they hit the nail on the head with this motto) -Ashley's Bordeoux is enough reason to order online or visit their shop -They welcome and are happy to do custom orders -Their staff sings while they work -No refined sugars and artificial ingredients -They do custom baskets for every occasion -They print images on cookies and other treats like rice krispies -They ship chocolates in USA and Canada for convenience -They're on route to California on the 395 (you pass Gardenville from Reno when traveling to San Deigo and the like) -It smells divine inside -Their Roka will put the pink container Almond Roca from childhood to shame -The drive to Gardnerville is beautiful -Anything from their shop makes for a perfect gift -Confections made in small batches, homemade, individually wrapped Notes: -They're found right next door to Raley's. -There's a cute town only 15 minutes away, Genoa, that arguably has the oldest bar in Nevada.  The city is super charming and holds a popular annual event called the Candy Dance Festival, which I will add to my blog in the future. -Lake Tahoe is so close. -Follow them on Facebook for the latest updates. read more

I went to Ladies night at Slot World in Carson City. The free gift was peanut cups from this Chocolate Shop in Gardnerville. I daresay this is the best chocolate I've ever had. I drove to Gardnerville today and bought the Bordeaux and the milk chocolate peanut butter cups. Ladies are friendly and proud of their goods as they should be. Dude! I had some of The Bordeaux tonight and its SINFULLY good! Thank you Mandy and Lynn! read more

Absolutely a treasure in this little town. Just happened to find you and you amazingly made chocolates.

There is just NO POINT in buying regular candy when we have this absolute GEM of a chocolate shop right here in Gardnerville. I always get a big bunch of goodies when out of town guests arrive, or when we are travelling to visit relatives and everyone raves about the delicious chocolate treats. The service inside the store is great and the employees seem happy to be there. Highly recommend! read more

Best place in town to get your chocolate fix. The crew is fantastic and I have never had any issues with them. I would rather shop local than go and hunt for a See's Candy store. These folks work so hard to please everyone and I have never been dissapointed. read more

My husband and I discovered Chocolate Shoppe while looking for gasoline. It was a Sunday and they were closed. However, since I am a chocoholic, we returned on Monday. Oh wow!!!!! So glad we did. This is one of the best chocolate experiences we have ever had. We were treated to 4 samples and the staff were very welcoming but not pushy. We walked out of there with loads of a variety of chocolates. Wait - the review doesn't end there! A couple of days later we were in Reno heading toward Vegas when we decided to go back! We really wanted to get some of the Bordeaux sauce to try with a cake. The staff gave us more samples. And of course we walked out of there with more than the Bordeaux sauce! Some of the items we already tried and wanted refills of and some new items. Go there if you are in the area - you will not regret it!!! And if you can't then you can always order from the website. read more

There is nothing I order that the Chocolate Shoppe doesn't blow me away with. This amazing array of delicious chocolates will be the hit of my nephews graduation! Lynn you and the ladies at the shop or are so talented at what you do, thank you for always taking care of me!! read more

So there I was, on my way to pick up a Papa Murphy's Take and Bake Pizza, when I decided to check out the candy store that's been there for five years. I'm a regular at See's Candy, and I know that I can buy my favorites by the piece, and it usually satisfies me. My favorite has long been the dark chocolate Bordeaux. Nothing compares to it in my mind, but I do like to continually conduct research. All this background should lead you to believe that I'm a bit of a snob when it comes to chocolate, but, given the right situation (something like 'availability'), I'd eat any available chocolate. As I walked in I was the only customer and there were four people working. One was cleaning and the other three were in some version of candy making. It was like I was walking into their kitchen. They were very friendly and they explained to me that they did not do what See's does. You can't buy a single piece of their candy, but they did let me sample. This is always a good thing, and I got to try their version of Bordeaux. It was a bit different, but still very tasty. As we spoke, they explained to me how they make custom orders, and on this day they were dressing up Oreo cookies with a glaze that allowed them to put on custom art. As I was there the cookies were taking on the look of a small cake, but the art was still going to be applied. To wind this up a bit, imagine that you've entered into a small chocolate factory with pleasant people working to make you feel comfortable. They stop what they're doing to help you to feel as comfortable as possible, given you a sample and worked with you to make a purchase. That's this place. It's a small locally owned place working to provide chocolate to the Carson Valley. They're employing people in the valley and improving the air quality by providing the residents with a local option not requiring a trip to Reno for See's candy. You can't buy single piece, but you'll be happy to buy a few pieces. It's a safe bet to add 'The Chocolate Shoppe' to the list of local places worth a visit read more

Chocol-ate truffles and white chocolate turtles... sea salted cara-mels and peanutty brittle...dark chocolate bor-deauxs and milk chocolate bark... these are some treats made at the Choco-late Shoppe! They also happen to be a "Few of my Favorite Things", if you couldn't hum along with that in my head! Divine decadence is hidden away in the corner of a Raley's shopping center in Minden. But follow your nose to the door of this well decorated storefront, and step into a wonderland of chocolate where you'll first be faced with a sensory overload from the sheer selection. To stop your salivary glands from going into overload, step up to the counter and ask for sample. Then prepare to satisfy your sweet tooth with any one of the amazing handmade products that are sitting on the shelf. Though I was in love with their peanut butter cups and toffee, I chose a pack of peppermint patties and sweet and salty caramels. The peppermint patties were bigger than a silver dollar, and the fiancee took to them with a knife and fork when I brought them home. I never knew chocolate could be consumed in quite this way, but hey, who am I to judge. The caramels were these rich and chewy bon bon shaped beauties with a healthy sprinkling of sea salt right on top. I too cut these into pieces to control my consumption. The creations at the Chocolate Shoppe are something special, and well worth a trip to the beautiful Carson Valley. If you're looking for something just for you or a very unique gift, ask them about their "Chocolate Printing Press"! read more
