    This place was an unexpected find! I was glad to see that they have some dairy free chocolate options. I purchase a couple of the oat milk chocolates and took some chocolate covered almonds to go. Such a decadent treat! There's ton of lil snacks here and they also do ice cream rolls (also dairy free options).

    Wine and chocolate tasting

    Did their wine and chocolate tasting and had a great time! The chocolates were paired perfectly with the wine and the wine owner was here to present each of their wines. Got a charcuterie board that was from The Wheyfarer that was absolutely delicious! Only issue was it was very sunny and hot and we got the lucky draw of not getting in the shade. Otherwise it was great

    Went for their wine and chocolate pairing on the patio - the last of the season. It was so delightful! Great value for the money as the wine pours were generous and the chocolate delicious. The staff were knowledgeable and attentive and our glasses were never empty long.

    I attended one of Dorinda's Chocolates' wine and chocolate pairing events and it was such a treat--literally! The event featured four wines from Italy and Spain, each perfectly paired with one of Dorinda's artisan chocolates. Every pairing was thoughtfully curated, and the staff was super knowledgeable, walking us through the flavors and why they worked together. It also came with a beautiful charcuterie board that rounded out the experience nicely. The setting was just as enjoyable--seated outside on a cozy patio near the river, it felt relaxing and a bit luxurious. A perfect early evening outing. While all the chocolates were amazing, the marzipan one and the lemon raspberry stood out as my personal favorites. Rich, flavorful, and a little indulgent--exactly what you'd hope for in a tasting like this. If you're looking for a unique and delicious experience, I highly recommend checking out one of these events. I'll definitely be back!

    This place is inside the same building as the rolled ice cream parlor. My friend and I walked the river trail and came inside to try some chocolate. There is not a lot of parking available besides street parking. We got a couple of chocolates and camels to go. The guy that helped us was really nice and informative on the different things they offer. I would definitely come back here just because. These are a great gift idea too.

    Rocky Road and Ube! Great for a hot day and walk down the river or sit down by the bench.

    My favorite chocolate, I don't know what the name lol

    There was a yelp event here a few weeks ago, and it was the first time we had been here. In the special event, and we had some samples and the chocolate was just amazing. I had to comeback and get some more! The first thing I can tell you though, parking is rather difficult. There is some construction going on next-door and with all the construction stuff, as well as other businesses in the area and homes/apartments, had a bit of a walk. That being said, it is worth it. I don't even know the name of the chocolate that I ordered. You can see it in the picture. This place also has ice cream and plenty of little gifts. I definitely recommend you giving us a try if you haven't tried it. It is a bit expensive, however you get what you pay for. Definitely worth it. I will definitely be back. I want to try the ice cream sometime.

    Building NEXT to ALLEY to Dorindas

    I have waited to write this review until I went to Sees Candy and tried their version of the fruity creams I tried at Dorindas. I wanted to be able to explain the difference. First, before even discussing chocolates, I've got to say I absolutely LOVE this location. Normally I would hate a locality that is difficult to find and that doesn't have simple straightforward parking. However this location is special. It's tucked away down an old fashioned cobblestone alleyway. I'm providing pictures to help you find it. The alley is across from a particularly beautiful path along the Truckee River. Coming to this location could be considered a romantic date night. It's that beautiful. Once you drive by the location and are aware of where it is via my pictures, find street parking and enjoy a beautiful walk to Dorindas. Maybe stop for specialty coffee before or after chocolates? Walk off some chocolate calories along the River? Endless possibilities. Just know you are NOT visiting a strip mall. This place is special. As for chocolates...the one word that pops into my head is LOVELY. Everything about Dorindas is Lovely. Just walking through the door makes ME feel lovely. It's a tiny shop with Rolled Mountain Ice Cream at the rear. So..."lovely chocolates"?...here's the deal...I really like Sees Candy. I grew up on it. But Dorindas has that "cut above" quality. Where the Sees candies are....Well...Sees Candies...Dorindas have a rich creamy texture that I've never found at Sees. I was disappointed in Dorindas lemon and orange "flavors". I didn't find them as flavorful as I'd hoped. That's why I checked out the lemon and orange creams at Sees. Guess what...Sees have even less flavor. Obviously I've been completely corrupted by Ethel M's dark lemon cream. I keep trying to find a comparable chocolate locally. If I could wave a magic wand over Dorindas I would give their lemon creams the flavor of Ethel M's. If they could DO THAT...I wouldn't be able to stay away. I haven't tried a lot of Dorindas flavors. Partly because I find them pricy. Partly because I try not to eat a lot of sugar. But I can say that every Dorindas chocolate has the most luscious creamy texture imaginable. I'm posting pics after I bit into them to prove it. Bottom line...these are definitely gift quality chocolates that will make a favorable impression. Think LOVELY...from their beautiful boxes and impressive finishing touches...to the most amazing deliciousness. Just plan to make this an outing and NOT just a quick run in and out. Enjoy this neighborhood. Relax. Smell the roses. Dorindas inspires me to enjoy more here than their chocolates! If you find this review useful please vote!

We sat down and ordered the tea we liked. We each got to choose our own tea and was told we could try as many as we want. I liked the pacing; I was able to have a long conversation with my friend without feeling rushed and no interruptions. Everything that came out was delicious. The scone was a little too flaky, in my opinion, but was still very tasty. It didn't look like a lot of food, but we were both very satisfied. I am definitely going to bring my Mom back for this. Also, the mini cakes here (not included in high tea) are absolutely gorgeous. They are not too sweet, and remind me of what I used to get at cafes in Japan. My favorite that I've tried so far is the blueberry cake. I love them all though. Can't wait to try more!

It doesnt seem like they'll seat you early, so show up just a few minutes before your reservation. I think there is adequate parking out front as its in a shopping center. They brought out our tea first. We ordered the breakfast blend, which was a loose leafed tea. It was fine. It is all served in smaller tea cups, so fellas, pinkies out! There is a picture of the food we were served, and everything tasted really good! Even the stuff that didn't match our taste preferences. It looks like they have a different menu of food items each month. Note that they will not make substitutions to the food that is being served unless you have a food allergy. In addition to afternoon tea, they also have coffee, desserts, and gelato that can be purchased. We were so full that we didn't take any extra sweets home with us. Sophie was our server and was super friendly and offered to answer any questions we had. For the price, and the quality of food, I'd come back for the regular afternoon tea.
