As a chocolate lover, I feel lucky to live in a state where a brick-and-mortar location of this luxury chocolatier exists. Per the research I did, it appears that its headquarters is located in Kansas City, MO. The only other two locations are in CA and CO. Whereas for someone like me who lives in the Denver metro area, going to Breckenridge is not a weekly routine at all, I got lucky to experience this elegant chocolate shop after I did a fall color catching at its tail end of 2026 season with my adult daughter in nearby area in Breckenridge just the past Tuesday. And had she not suggested the idea of finding a chocolate shop while in town, I wouldn't have forever known this brand of chocolate.
The name was an unusual one for a chocolatier was the first thought it came up in my mind. There was another one in town but I was intrigued by Christopher Elbow's name. This was the compelling enough reason to check it out so off we went to satisfy our sweet tooth.
Somehow, I was imagining something quite different but most of all, elegant (without first checking out the photos uploaded in Yelp.) My assumption was so spot on. As we stepped inside, an art gallery like interior was everywhere in front of us. "Looks like we are in a modern art museum!" was what I immediately uttered to which my daughter agreed.
All the products were intricately and impeccably displayed throughout. "Wow" after another, we simply didn't know where to start to examine each product although the store isn't necessarily large.
For a luxury chocolatier, the prices are/were not so high. I certainly saw some of them priced at the so-called "sensible" or "rational" ranges. All in all, most of them was in doable ranges is what I perceived as. For instance, individually wrapped single pieces of different types of chocolates are $4.50 up to $8. the signature chocolate bars are $10, 8-piece single flavor box of Blueberry Cheesecake Collection (which I bought) is $28. Even merchandise (mug cups and beanies) are $18 and $24. They also have what's called "Pate De Fruit" and these are a must try/buy items where you can buy individually wrapped ones at the price of $4 (there are two in each bag). Your eyes are constantly entertained by the beauty of the products.
All the products we bought (from the blueberry cheesecake to some of the individually wrapped pieces including the "Pate De Fruit") were of undeniable quality. Out of all though, as much as I was impressed with their chocolates, my reason for a future return to the store might be because of the "Pate De Fruit". Their delightfulness hit me like a wrecking ball (LOL)! read more
