    Storefront- this location is on a standalone lot with plenty of parking.

    Great choice for party gifts. They have different gift box size options. You can choose pre-boxed sets with classic chocolates or can customize boxes with your personal favorites. I recently purchased two boxed classic sets for prize winners for a baby shower game - not knowing who would receive them but knowing anyone would be pleased. While in the store, my husband starting 'eyeing' the truffles, so we put together a custom box of truffles for an early Father's Day gift for him. Everyone there was friendly and we were in and out quickly. The boxed chocolates were a hit, as expected.

    We took a public tour of DeBrand, and it was like getting a real life Willy Wonka Golden Ticket! My family and I really enjoyed learning the history of chocolate and DeBrand, seeing behind the scenes, and even getting to sample chocolate and ice cream! A DeBrand tour would be great for any age and a fun for visitors and locals alike. We highly recommend visiting this location! Mel was an excellent tour guide (very experienced and kind) and Lindsie was fabulous in helping select the perfect chocolates and delights to purchase and take home. Fantastic!

    Forget love... id rather fall in chocolate! I came by Debrand Fine Chocolates because I am a chocolate lover. I had some Debrands a few times when I saw it in stores and loved it. My family has never had any, and while I was perusing their website one day, I discovered that not only is it made in Fort Wayne, you can actually take a tour of the factory for only $10! So i told my family and we came at the end of November 2023. The facility is beautiful. When we got there we paid our $30 and were given vouchers/rebate on chocolate we buy there that day for that same amount! Neat! While waiting for the tour to start, i walked around and looked at the different chocolate they had for sale. I also discovered they make ice cream and shakes as well! I didn't try it, but I bet it tastes heavenly. They then took us to a room for the first part of the tour. The room is used for events/celebrations/weddings that you can rent. While there we watched a brief video on the company's history. We then were taken on a walking tour of the factory that also in included sampling the chocolate! Omg! It was so delicious!!!! After the tour I went back and used those rebates to make purchases. Instead of being selfish and using it to buy chocolate for me, i bought chocolate for three friends I have to send to them for Christmas! One of them loved it so much, she said it has become her favorite brand of chocolate! Great experience! Loved every moment of the tour! Loved the chocolate! Loved putting a smile on a friend's face!

    There isn't much to see in Fort Wayne so if you are in town and have seen the fort and been to a Tin Caps game you will be looking for something else to do. This chocolatier is worth going to see. Good selection of truffles, candies, specialty bars etc... the chocolate is very good with the best truffle being the Key Lime Pie truffle.. wow was that ever good..and the seating area is welcoming. Service is nice as well. Go get some chocolate!

    Whenever I visit Fort Wayne I make it a point to visit DeBrand. It's a cute store that has beautiful chocolates but for me the star of the show is the sundaes. A scoop of vanilla ice cream is place in your choice of a dark or milk chocolate bowl and then topped with your choice of milk or dark chocolate, raspberry, or peanut butter. I've tried several variations at this point and my tried and true is the milk chocolate bowl topped with milk chocolate and raspberry. The chocolate is so smooth and the raspberry is tart and pairs so well with it. The ice cream isn't anything to write home about but for me it's just a vessel for the rest of the dish :) It is a bit pricey at $11 but it's so worth it. If you are a fan of peanut butter, I suggest trying it. It has like little crispies in it and it's pretty light. It pairs really nicely with either chocolate.

    Was driving through Fort Wayne and really was craving chocolate. Little did I know I was going to find this place!! I am blown away by DeBrand Fine Chocolates. The space was gorgeous and the people were so kind. It felt like a special place and I loved it. Definitely will be stopping by again when I have to drive through Fort Wayne again! The chocolate was AMAZING!

    What a fabulous place. If ever there was an elegant chocolate store, this is it. With various seating areas available and of course the finest chocolate in town, the state, perhaps the country... I am personally a big fan of the salted caramel 5-packs. To me, one of those packs constitutes 1 serving. My favorite is the Connoisseur Collection, and my top 3 are: Passion - refreshing white chocolate fruit ganache in milk chocolate - accurate description, I like it because it is not overly sweet, maybe even a bit tart, fruity, light, yummy... Cassia - a Vietnamese cassia cinnamon ganache with a touch of sweet pear in milk chocolate - sounds weird but is so good, not the harsh cinnamon we are used to, but more like a little subdued undertone Raspberry Balsamic - Balsamic vinegar, sweet basil and tart raspberry in white chocolate - this sounds horrible, but it works. Be careful when biting into it as the center is a thick liquid which can drip all over. this is sweet and tart and fruity all over. I took a tour here over the weekend. I did learn a lot and enjoyed the samples along the way, however, I would advise to take the tour during the week when there are folks actually working in the various areas. I think that would make it much more interesting than to just look at the different stations. The same day coupon came in handy, as I bought up the store after the tour. Unfortunately they do NOT serve affogato at this location... booh

    Breakfast at DeBrand's, a must for any chocolate lover! Their stores have convenient hours, and two locations in Fort Wayne. We started our morning with a Turtle Sundae, and finished it off in the evening with a shopping spree of their luxurious chocolates! DeBrand's is doing America proud. In the middle of the heartland is this chocolatier that specializes in all things chocolate. Their shops are absolutely stunning, and elegant, with helpful, courteous, staff. It is an absolute treat. They host bridal showers, baby showers, etc. They have convenient hours, so you can stop in for early morning shopping, or after dinner dessert, but you will want to leave with a goodie bag of their awesome chocolates. I love everything about DeBrand's.

    I know my pictures are not high quality but the quality of this dessert still shines through! The absolute best and my personal favorite sundae I have ever had. This is our families special treat sundae. And is it ever special! The inside of this facility is so comfortable. It's like a mix of a low key coffee shop had a baby with a locally owned ice cream place and the result is the nest of both worlds. I'm relaxed while I eat which makes the eating taste better! DeBrands is known for their high quality and attention to detail. It is not missed in this sundae. I had 3 toppings: PB, raspberry, caramel...the raspberry is not a topping I choose often but it sets the tone here. Perfect match of zest and refreshing delight to the smooth creamy ice cream and the bold but easy to eat dark chocolate. Love it! We scraped the dishes. If I was t with my wife I would have licked them! lol What a unique place for our local area. Hit it up and be guaranteed of good results. Our experience with the young ladies who helped us was also personable and pleasant. Very fun!

    The food was delicious and the service was great. The ambience is "lights low" with a cross between romantic feel and an ice cream parlor.

    If you like samples, Kilwins is the place to visit. I was offered samples of ice cream and fudge,…read morebut I passed on the fudge because it's one of the sweets I do not like. (Grainy, greasy chocolate-like substance? Hard pass.) Chocolate I do like: Peanut butter cups! But they need to be made with real chocolate (sorry, Reese's) and they need to be big, so that there's an almost equal proportion of peanut butter to chocolate. Milk chocolate peanut butter cups are great, but dark chocolate ones are even better. I got a huge dark chocolate peanut butter cup to take back with me to my hotel, which happened to be around the corner. It was so silky and smooth and just what I wanted. Kilwins is the place to find all kinds of chocolate treats, plus things like popcorn and peanut brittle, gourmet marshmallows, food gifts and lots more sweets. They also have a full ice cream parlor in the shop, where you can get ice cream by the scoop or made into a sundae or milkshake. This place has outdoor seating, so you can sit on the patio and enjoy your ice cream or chocolate while watching the people of Fort Wayne go by.

The employees were super friendly as soon as we walked in and offered samples of the different ice cream. I settled on the three rivers ice cream, which was clearly one of the best ice cream flavors I've ever had. There was a perfect blend of cream and sugar in the ice cream. The waffle cones are also embossed with the company name and are made fresh. The waffle cone itself was also probably the best in the Fort Wayne area. It had the perfect taste And texture to the cone. The only reason why I could not give it five stars is it is quite pricey, but what isn't in this economy. If you're ever in this area and want dessert, this would be a place to try.

It was alright -- nothing special, but given the size and volume of the place, I don't necessarily expect everything to be made completely fresh to order. It did the job. The service was also just alright. My interaction with the barista/bartender was brief and unfortunately a bit stale. She wasn't rude, just not particularly warm or memorable. Overall, it's a convenient place with a lot of options, but the experience itself was pretty average.
