    Easter eggs by Matthew
    Andy T.

    Matt has some real works of art for Easter! And the Lemon Jasmine buttercream literally blew my mind! Definitely worth a trip to Hillsborough to check it out. Happy Easter!

    Vanilla latte full of coffee grounds. :(

    The shop was cute and prices were average for a little coffee shop. We got a vanilla latte and pumpkin latte. Unfortunately, both were full of coffee grounds.

    The second part of my adventure was visiting this spot. My friend surprised me for my birthday month and brought me some things to try. Because I loved it so much, they brought me here to check it out in person. It's a cute shop with a plethora of options. I will warn you, this is in the downtown area and I went during Mother's Day weekend. When we arrived he was pretty cleaned out but since I've had some of the chocolates already, I really wanted to try the pie pops. I opted for Key Lime. It's literally key lime ice cream with meringue and a graham cracker crust dipped in chocolate. This hit the spot on a warm day. If you're in downtown Hillsborough, check him out as there are a variety of options from gelato, sorbet, pie pops, drinks, and chocolates. I'm sure they get a lot of traffic and they rotate some options so get there early. Enjoy!

    We ordered two of: Mojito Buttercream Coconut Lime Buttercream Honey Hazelnut Truffle Work of Art for your mouth!

    Strolling the historic streets of Hillsborough, my daughter and I walked by Matthew's Chocolates (September 9, 2017). The various chocolate delights lured us in. With so many options to choose from, it was hard to narrow down our selections. We ordered two of: Mojito Buttercream Coconut Lime Buttercream Honey Hazelnut Truffle All three had their own amazing flavors! I wish I had more room in my tummy to try every flavor Matthew had. Please note, when you are picking out your specific indulgence, remember that every single piece is a work of art that he makes by hand with the passion of a true culinary artist! Each bite should be savored and experienced! Most Sincerely!!!!

    This was just my 2nd time visiting Hillsborough and I'm so glad we happened upon this amazing chocolate store. We ended up getting ice creams and taking a few chocolate candies home. Staff was attentive and helpful Loved to look & feel of the place.

    Is this business closed? I can't find a store front at the listed address!! 😭

    No, Matthew's is open and thriving! The shop moved to a new location across Churton Street next to the Hillsborough Arts Council.

The lady in front was super friendly and accommodating. Could definitely see the hard work in the product they make. I tried the yuzu lemon and lavender fog truffle. After trying it i knew the decadent chocolate cake was going to be delicious. Ended up getting a 10" cake which was plenty for 13 people with leftovers. Really good cake and decorated really nicely. Did not dissapoint. I would stop by and get another cake just to try it.

First, I asked if I could place a cake order but the rudeness was over top. If you don't want to take an order maybe just lie and say you're fully booked or deadline is too tight instead of demeaning a paying customer by saying that it's not worth the time, money and effort to make certain kinds of cakes unless it's a bulk order. Ok, understandable as one expects to pay premium prices for a small cake here. What's not understandable is the rude and arrogant attitude. Given the current economic situation, labor/profit margin sensitivities are warranted but have some tact. The dismissive recommendation to go to Mad Hatter was "icing on the cake" and very hilarious.

I just love that they are truly bean to bar (you can literally watch them sit and sort the beans, grind them, make the chocolate and all other steps of the process). The staff is incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and efficient -- and while prices are a tad higher than your basic chocolates, they are reasonable for the high quality of premium treats you are going to get Just an additional thing I did not mention in my previous review: Their packaging is also great. Not only do they print off the individual names of chocolates you got if you make a box, there is a QR code which when you scan, takes you to the visual and descriptive online guide of all their flavors. Highly, highly recommend, and cannot see any reason why I would not make efforts to continue returning!

We also purchased 8 different chocolates. Great presentation but some were hit or miss on my pallet. Others may like them however. Other customers mentioned they all pretty much incorporate dark chocolate. I would like to see a milk chocolate in the future. We will definitely come back for another round and try the other choices.

The owner, Grayson, has an infectious love of chocolate, fine wine, great food, travel, and life in general. I enjoy the "Sipping Chocolate." It's a cream and cocoa mixture that resembles a melted candy bar. It's served in a cup, with a spoon, that you will need. Decadently rich and delicious. The "regular" hot chocolate is a favorite with the foreign student community at the University in Blacksburg Va. The hand made chocolates are very creative, beautiful, and delicious. One of my favorites, dark chocolate with cayenne pepper! The well traveled proprietor has also added a small, but EXCELLENT cafe, serving European inspired dishes (omnivores and vegans accommodated) and a selection of remarkable wines. From my experience it's the only place in the area where you can actually have a bottle of very fine Rioja, a Caymus Cab, or a special occasion champagne. There are affordable wine offerings that are excellent also. When not too busy, the owner takes time to talk with his customers. The conversations may be about chocolate, food, wine, travel, or life in general. Grayson's enthusiasm for all of these things, especially life, is uplifting! Heads up! The restaurant section is small (maybe 8 tables and a bar) so MAKE A RESERVATION to avoid missing out! Obviously, I HIGHLY recommend Cocoa Mia!
