A Chocolate Revelation -- Worth Every Bite During a recent stay at The Madeline in Telluride, my husband and I stumbled upon what can only be described as the best chocolate I have ever tasted. FULL STOP. It wasn't in the shops, it wasn't in town -- it was tucked away in the chef's private stash at the posh resort, like a secret meant only for those lucky enough to discover it. Naturally, I hunted the company down. And to my absolute delight, I found it right here in Lafayette, Colorado. Let me be clear: this is the BEST chocolate I've ever had... and I lived in Belgium, surrounded by world‑class chocolate. This one still wins. You can order online at Lift Chocolates or simply swing by Whole Foods, where they're stocked and ready to change your life one square at a time. If you're a chocolate lover, a flavor seeker, or someone who just wants a moment of pure joy, this is it. Indulge. You'll thank yourself later. My favorites: Dark chocolate with cherry and fennel Dark chocolate with strawberry and basil Dark chocolate with mango and hibiscus OMGAWD!!!! Yummmmmm And, you are welcome for the best chocolate tip ever! Thank you Lift and Brandon. Your creating amazing and unique flavors. I am hooked. read more

Love this chocolate shop!! The cherry cordials are the best chocolates ever. I recently just tried the whiskey snow balls and they were phenomenal! Honestly didn't think I was going to love them as much as I did! Prices are pretty expensive but the quality and taste is 100% worth it! read more

Excellent Chocolates! These are a family favorite and the variety is very impressive. Well done!

Some of the absolute BEST chocolate I've had. Brandon mailed me some chocolate and I was blown away. I had 4 Splitz Bars (coffee house, berry blonde, sunny mango, and raspberry patch), 3 Boulder Chocolates (cherry fennel, mango hibiscus, and strawberry basil). I'm so so SO happy with each and every kind. The Boulder Chocolates were probably my favorite. Dark chocolate is the best kind of chocolate in my opinion, and these toppings made it even better! I absolutely recommend making a stop at Lift Chocolates or ordering some online. You won't regret it! read more

MMMMM! What a find with this little (Nom, Nom) chocolate brand! They have quite a few choices for candy bars but I knew which one I had to get when I saw the Dirty Chai chocolate bar with 50% Cacao. The Chai bar consists of dark chocolate, cinnamon, ginger, clove and espresso. The chocolate is wonderfully fresh and all the ingredients that I mentioned make an appearance on your taste buds with espresso rounding them all out nicely. I wanted to eat half of my candy bar but it tasted so good I devoured it all. I am looking forward to snagging some more Dirty Chai bars and try their other flavors as well. You can go to their store in Boulder and get their candy and you can get their candy bars at Whole Foods! Excellent find! read more

This was unplanned stop on our area tour around Boulder. We found their brochure at the Boulder Creek Winery and it was not too far away. There is a tiny storefront and a sizeable room in the back for making chocolates. The owner's sister greeted us by throwing my friend chocolates filled with espresso ganache. We also sampled "real white chocolate" (not veg oil!) and chatted about their chocolates. In the end, Eric R. got white chocolate bark with cranberries, pistachios, almonds and other goodies, and I got a set of four truffles: two coconut puree caramels with lime sea salt, amaretto, and baileys. I know the chocolates we tasted were delicious, but I haven't tried mine yet (we ate so much today that it will have to wait until at least tomorrow!) However when I ordered the coconut-lime salt caramels, the associate told me it is her favorite, so I feel pretty good about it. I hope it transports me back to Thailand where I just honeymooned! A fun little stop in Boulder!!! FYI: Does not accept AMEX read more

I did not set out to find this place but was dropping something off in the area and smelled something good. This chocolate is really well made, so pretty and delicious! read more

Concertos in Chocolate is really a hidden gem. The company has been in business since 1999 and moved to their Gunbarrel location in 2003. This is a real small business with only 10 employees and everything is hand-made. The name came from the owner being involved in music for most of her life - she believes that as music is an art, chocolate should be an art too. This is not cheap chocolate. This is real. Concertos in Chocolate can be found in retail shops and local hotels, but if you really want the freshest chocolate & caramel, I recommend visiting the small chocolate shop in Gunbarrel. The shop is located just down the street from Celestial Seasonings and Leanin' Tree. There is always some kind of specials going on & free chocolate samples. You can even ask what is the freshest batches and they will tell you. I was looking through some of the older reviews and saw that some of the information in no longer accurate. Significant changes have taken place at the Gunbarrel chocolate shop. The retail shop has been remodeled so that the kitchen is more open for viewing. A glass case has been added for confections & truffles. Concertos now has real cash register system and accepts all major credit cards, cash and even local checks. They also now have a customer reward program which gives 5% off if you sign up for their monthly email. You will still find the owner working in the kitchen on most days and her sister still works on Saturdays. read more

Recently ordered the English Toffee. It was delivered across the country (Maine) in a day and a half, ahead of schedule, came perfectly wrapped and protected, and at a very reasonable price ($10) from FedEx. The product itself was elegantly packaged, perfect to give as gifts and was delicious. A thick piece of buttery toffee (about a half inch) coated in a rich smooth chocolate, covered with chunks of almonds. Absolutely heavenly to bite into. The toffee melts in your mouth and it's obvious the whole thing is made by hand with quality ingredients. Giving this to friends and family as gifts is perfect. Not just another candy store product but an elegantly packaged and designed piece of art that says, "I care". Highly recommend to anyone looking for a great gift idea or just a little slice of heaven for chocolate connoisseurs. read more

This is hidden in what looks like an industrial park across the street from the King Soopers plaza with Burger King, etc. You have to look for it because it is unassuming but I believe you can see it from the road. There are cars parked on the street during the day for the nearby businesses but you should be able to park without a problem. Esspresso Truffles = AWESOME. Note, I am a troll and scromp them cold! They snap on the outside and are smooth and creamy on the inside. Silk! And this is cold. I was given a small truffle sampler recently of raspberry, hazelnut, espresso (yay), lavender and bitter chocolate. Rasberry seems to come mainly from the decorative dusting but just enough. Lavendar, couldn't really tell (which is fine) and have not tried the others. Price point = not cheap. I want to say I paid $13/$15 or so for six chocolates a while back. Store itself - nondescript. The store is tiny and very basic. There isn't a glass case, everything is on shelving racks. As I recall the register is around the corner in the chocolate making room. Almost disappointing, but you definitely know you aren't paying for decorating the store. You are paying for chocolate! This isn't a fancy place where you would feel uncomfortable walking in. read more

Salted caramel truffles are out of this world. Thick, high quality chocolate topped with flavored salt encases super fresh liquid caramel. Cappuccino w/ expresso salt is my favorite. Turtles are the regions best. Store is a bit hard to find but well worth the trip. Great gifts. Thanks all the help Dustin! read more

My family is fortunate that we can walk to this lovely little shop. The chocolates are amazing! Fresh, with fantastic seasonal flavors. My daughter waits impatiently for passion fruit jellies and truffles (February). I think my favorite is the milk chocolate bark with hazelnuts and fruit. However, you can't go wrong here! After trying their chocolates, nothing else quite measures up! read more
