They have chocolates, confections, and bakery items as far as the eye can see. I got my free donut and coffee but also picked up some huge muffins to have the next morning. The donut was light and fluffy and the muffins were packed full of flavor. There is a room in the back for evets and parties. When I was there, a birthday party was being held in the back room. I highly recommend Morkes Chocolates!

My fiancé surprised me with chocolate-covered strawberries and donuts from Morkes one day, and it…read morewas such a sweet little surprise! I mean, who doesn't love chocolate-covered strawberries? The strawberries were big, plump, and delicious! I'm not the biggest sweets person, so I wouldn't say I'm someone who goes out of my way for desserts, but these were solid and definitely hit the spot after our meal. I haven't had the chance to visit the shop myself yet, but I'd love to stop by and check it out the next time I'm in the area!

Little small but mighty! They were so kind and let us know what was popular and the deals they had going on for the strawberry festival. It look like family working there because a kid was working the chocolate case and parents were handling the checkout. They were so kind and even cracking a few jokes. We got some butter toffee, toffee pretzels and chocolate covered strawberries. All soo good!! The strawberries were so fresh!

The young gentleman helping me was incredibly personable and friendly, even sharing the history of the store with such pride and enthusiasm. You can truly tell he loves where he works and values the family/business behind it. I was amazed by the variety and quality of chocolates -- definitely not your average commercial candy shop. Everything felt unique, thoughtful, and special. To top it off, he beautifully wrapped the gift in a box with a ribbon, which made it feel even more personal and meaningful. Definitely returning again -- both for gifts and for myself!

No more taffy apples anywhere else but from here. Hand made. THEY ONLY HAVE THEM APPLES DURING FALL THO. Chocolate covered, taffy, etc.

What an awesome, full featured confectionery shop. The prices aren't cheap but you can tell with…read moreevery bite that you're getting delicious, high quality treats. The decor in here is super cute, with all the different products being displayed in an organized and attractive manner. This alone makes this a more fun shopping experience than buying candy from a standard grocery store. At times, it may be difficult to determine the price of different items, but the staff is very helpful with helping shoppers navigate their way around the store. There is definitely something for everyone here, but this is especially good if you are a chocolate lover as there's a very wide assortment of available options here. This is particularly true if you're into truffles, with some interesting options such as jalapeno margarita, tiramisu, rum, and others in addition to the usual selection of fruit, coffee, caramel, etc. flavors. This is also a great spot to get interesting looking gifts. Outside of the usual gift boxes and tins, you'll find chocolate in fun shapes (like birthday cake), seasonal confection options with cute decorations, pretzels, nuts, chocolate pops, gummies, and more. Overall, this is a great place to shop for delicious sweets and competitive in price to other premium candy shops. If you're looking for something unique in both design and flavor, definitely come here versus going to a chain store.

Opened the sealed box a few days later and was beyond disappointed. Despite the "Best by 3/26/27" - the banana chips were so stale they truly tainted the smell and taste of the raisins, mangos, cranberries and pineapple. Removed them and placed in a mason jar after airing the batch on a cookie sheet a few hours. Buyer beware! Perhaps stick to their chocolates?

We tried the white fudge with peppermint today and it was so festive. You can't go wrong with pretty much any chocolate treats here, like their pecan or cashew "tuttles" or toffee, if you don't have any nut allergies. The ice cream is rich and creamy and a nice ending to a meal at any of the great restaurants nearby. The gals working here during my visit were super sweet and grateful for our business. I appreciate the pre-wrapped boxes for gift-giving, especially during holidays.

Cute little shop. When you walk in, the smell entices you right away. Holy chocolate!…read more We like to create a little budget and explorer all the different things that they have. My favorites so far are the Chocolate covered Bavarian Pretzel... and the myrtles. They truly have the most delicious caramel apple I have ever tasted. Come here during fall and grab an apple. The apples are fresh, and the caramel is buttery... and they use salted peanuts. $4 an apples, but it is so worth it. What can I say? A chocolate outlit store. It is a delicious, fun, experience.

My order was the large 5 meat, 5 cheese spread. The prices are very reasonable compared to other services. Long story short, Rosana was responsive and courteous. The board was absolutely amazing. Unfortunately, a picture was not taken because it was eaten so quickly! Even the wine tasting planner complimented how diverse and well executed the board was. I will be recommending this to all of my friends and family for any event. Additionally, I just placed an order for a valentines day package. It's a must if you are looking to impress!

I ordered these boards for 2 events that I was throwing. Rosanna, the owner and maker, was such a pleasure to work with. She was organized with all the information I provided, responsive, genuine, and just overall a kind person! I'm definitely gonna get more boards from her for other holidays or events I have coming up. She also delivers right to you and has many charcuterie options, like jarcuterie for example. The actual charcuterie was phenomenal. Candied walnuts, prosciutto, halved dates, spiraled salami, pitted cherries, cheeses galore - the meat & cheese board was robust to say the least. The sweet board was sweet tooth heaven. Brownies, chocolate covered everything, Rice Krispies, various cookies, and more. Needless to say, the charcuterie boards were a HIT at my event. Seriously using any excuse just to come here and get more boards. Support women owned & local and order some bomb charcuterie from here!
