I visited this small town with my friends and found it interesting to visit this family-owned chocolate factory. The chocolate was good. I bought a piece of dark chocolate pretzel and a bag of chocolate raisins. Everything was fresh and delicious. It was a bit sweet at first, but after a few pieces, it was just right. The service was fast, and the line moved quickly. Overall, it's a cute chocolate shop. There were many tourists and visitors there when we went. read more

Excellent chocolate in Dahlonega. Too many choices. Top quality. We didn't get the advertised free sample which would have been nice. Cute little shop right on the main square. read more

1st- inventory, wow barely anything, at least 1 display case is gone, the two remaining cases are just filled with duplicates case to case. Used to be a great and varied superior chocolate offering, colorful and joyful and definitely part of the holiday experience. Now "tastes waxy and off" as another contributor noted. 2nd Essentially they ran a very poorly worded "give away" that lists one of the prizes to be picked up in store as a $60 I store credit, but in reality when we went the person behind the counter told us it was only good online, this after he stepped away to call "someone" to get clarification. 3rd the service the last few times we were in there were lacking much in the way of friendliness or helpfulness. Sad to see a once enjoyable experience be lost. read more

Cute chocolate shop with friendly staff and a large variety of items. It was an incredibly hot day so I only got two things which I could eat right away: a dark chocolate peanut butter cup and a key lime truffle. Both were absolutely amazing!

I visit Dahlonega, Georgia to see my son, daughter-in-law and grandson and have visited Paul Thomas Chocolates many times.

As you can see in the pictures, we had fun, very relaxed atmosphere!!!! Great place to grab lots of delicious treats!!!! read more

We had no intention of buying any chocolate; we're both watching what we eat but...we are so glad we stopped in and tried some! We walked in and they were making caramel. The smell was intoxicating! Incredible chocolate! Lots of choices and flavors! Chocolate covered pretzels! Peanut butter cups! read more

A new owner took over a few years ago and you can really tell. Their turtles used to be incredible but now their chocolate tastes off and is waxy. Not worth the money. read more

Master Chocolatier! Tried a variety, including the hot chocolate mix, bars, and chocolates, and loved it all. The young man serving us was friendly, efficient and knowledgeable. The shop itself is comfortable and well laid out with clearly marked products displays. Wish we lived closer, but I will definitely return when in the area. read more

Was in Dahlonega yesterday so we stopped in for a few things. Well, honestly, my wife did. She got a candy apple that she loved. She also picked up some chocolate concoction that I just ate. Incredible. Well, she left it sitting on the counter, what was I to do? Great service and superb product. We will definitely return. read more

Such an adorable little place in Dahlonega, GA. They have all kinds of great treats and you can watch them making the goodies. We got some truffles that were awesome and some chocolate coffee for my daughter but she hasn't tried it yet. I'll try to remember to update this review to tell how it was. Lots of cute little gifts/treats for family souvenirs. Next time I'm going to try the divinity - it looked amazing. I don't know of any place in Arizona I can get it. read more

Rainy day in Dahlonega, but we found shelter in this cute chocolate shop. Everyone chose one chocolate to eat. Salted caramel, chocolate truffle, mint chocolate and a white chocolate pretzel. Allllll delicious! It was a nice treat to stop in, even if it was just for one chocolate. I'll be coming back here for a "mom trip" with my besties and we'll have to come in for another chocolate treat! Stop in! read more

Must stop in even if it's only for 1 piece. Huge variety of chocolates and unique treats. Truffles, nuts, bark, cereal bark, marshmallows, dipped pretzles even chocolate dipped twinkies. They have all the chocolate flavors and even a few vegan options. I'm from Seattle so loved that they had our Seattle chocolate represented. Staff was helpful and friendly. read more

I went to the good old Paul Thomas Chocolates to get something sweet after a big ole dinner and this young lady, I believe her name was Ariella, was just about the sweetest thing I had ever been around. She just had the greatest service and she was such a kind person. I will be coming here again. read more

Funny how dahlonega is not impacted by covid. No social distancing. Nonetheless, it was PACKED. So crowded!! Something about this place has a different feel than any other fudge/chocolate shop. You can see the staff making the goodies in the open! It was cool to see it so near. Got so many different things! - Chocolate covered potato chip which was Pringle's. I liked it but I didn't love it. I've had chocolate covered regular potato chip and I prefer that. My husband did not like it at all. So... buy at your own risk. - s'mores. The best thing ever. I typically hate marshmallows but you gotta get it. - chocolate hazelnut bark, awesome. Chocolate, hazelnut. What could go wrong? - chocolate covered Twinkie... dude... DUDE... I'd eat this multiple times all day everyday. The was a good contrast of hard shell chocolate and soft creamy cake inside - chocolate covered oatmeal pie was okay. It wasn't really a good pair. The oatmeal pie density and the hard shell chocolate was eh If you're in town, stop by! Well there aren't that many dessert spots, and this one is a pretty solid one! read more

Love theory chocolate, apparently everyone else does too because the last time I went they were sold out of my favorites, mill chocolate gold bars. read more

Best truffles I've EVER eaten. Between the two of us, have eaten 3 different types of chocolate Each one delicious. We have travelled internationally but still Dahlonega has the best chocolatier read more

The most hilarious chocolate shop I've ever seen. I come in and ask what the price of a peanut butter cup is. "It's by weight." He weighs it, looks me dead in the eyes, and says that it's $4.49. No, not a jumbo peanut butter cup. A single quarter sized cup for $5. Compared to a reese's which is only 75 CENTS a cup. I don't care if they grow their peanuts on the alps or have monks that brew their chocolate for years, that is highway robbery. I'm the kind of person to shell out a little for novelty and convenience, I would've even paid $1.50, but that's downright unethical read more

Absolutely love this place! Their dark chocolate covered cherries and strawberries are the best. Nowhere else within 20 miles+ probably has the selection and quality that they do. If you're in the area I highly recommend you stop by. read more

Nice selection in a candy rich downtown. We chose several types, our favorite being the wasabi jalapeño spicy dark chocolate. Candy apples galore and you can watch the crew make them, along with other delights. Decor is charming and a model train circles above the shop. read more

Nice employees and a cute shop. Get the Apple Pie caramel apple if you can. You wont regret it!

Wow! We actually had our first chocolate from three sisters vineyard and had to try out the store. Whatever chocolate you want, they have. The chocolate bacon, and triple fudge chocolate were so good. Check em out! read more

the chocolate covered bacon is to die for! Haha. Seriously though the staff is so sweet, and the store is just a lot of fun. We've been twice already in two weeks and I haven't had anything I didn't like. Also they're chocolate covered strawberries are my favorite because the chocolate just doesn't fall off like they do a lot other places. I also always buy my pup a treat when I go there!! They have dog friendly treats! He loved them! read more

Upon arrival at the Barefoot Hills Hotel, the concierge made a special point to explain how the hotel has a partnership with Paul Thomas Chocolates in Dahlonega. She gave us a coupon that said (and she very explicitly said) it was good for one free piece of chocolate bark *per each person* in the party, so my partner and I were entitled to a total of 2 free pieces of chocolate bark. When we took the coupon to the chocolate shop, the young man working there refused to honor it. He said he had always been told to give one piece of chocolate only. We asked him to read the coupon again because this was not what it stated, nor was it what the concierge said. He still refused. My boyfriend told him that the partnership needed to fix its coupons if the shop wasn't going to honor them. I was especially disappointed that he refused to honor the coupon as we were buying about $30 in additional items, so it's not like we were just there for free chocolate, although if the store had a partnership with our hotel, we were certainly entitled to that. read more

Because zero stars is not an option. Went to buy a couple gelatos. Made a selection of chocolates and went to look at the gelato. There were two staffers near the gelato counter who were making what seemed like chocolate balls and a guy behind the register chatting with a couple people who were making a purchase. Did not realize that black people were still invisible in some places. Hovered near the gelatos. Looked around the store. Overheard the two staffers talking with each other. Overheard the guy behind the cash iPad saying he makes the chocolates and is usually in the back. Replaced the original selection. Throughout the entire time no one made a sound that indicated we were in a place of business. My girlfriend and I - both black and almost 6ft tall. read more

This little store is an unspoken treasure in North Georgia. The chocolates are magnificent, delicious and so very fresh. This past Christmas I ordered $100 worth of chocolates and my family loved them. Try the sea salt pralines! It's pure Heaven! read more

I was craving a caramel apple with peanuts. Shame on this establishment for selling old soft almost rotted produce. It was awful. If this is indicative of their quality control, then I do not need a repeat visit. A waste of $8 to boot. read more

Yeah for a conscientious owner. Was contacted by the owner to apologize and to get a clear understanding of what happened. He reviewed the security tapes, then asked if he could send me some chocolates. They were not needed but definitely welcomed. Delicious. Thank you. read more

OMG chocolate lover beware. I have traveled the world and never have I experienced better tasting milk and dark chocolate I was fortunate to meet Willy Wonka himself whose name is Paul. I complemented him on the excellent service Lori gave me and the exceptional chocolate. Paul told me that Lori is his wife. Excellent chocolate. I especially love the coconut cashew crunch. And the Twinkie covered in chocolate was my kids favorite. I plan on sending these chocolates as gifts to all my friends and family I enjoyed them that much. The shop was tastefully decorated and the selection was as good as what I found in San Francisco. The dark almond butter crunch with a whole almond on top is my wife's favorite. read more

Come-on, its' CHOCOLATE....what could ever be wrong with this place other than having an allergen to chocolate; OH the irony of that thought! (All apologies and sorriness to those people who do actually have an allergen to chocolate...I really do feel for you!) Despite the obvious competition to the older established local Fudge Shop of which I would frequent often when I attended the nearby college, Paul Thomas offers nearly the same luscious diabetic coma inducing products at competitive prices. My Fiance seems to think Paul Thomas has a bit better chocolate, but I'm at an impasse on that thought; I guess I'm just going to have to indulge in more chocolate from both shops in order to make up (never) my mind on the subject; pass me my piggy bank (better if it was Fort Knox)....I need money for chocolate! Service was fast, helpful, and met with smiles and patience as we drooled all over the glass displays (sorry for the mess). Another five star jewel in the beautiful Dahlonega square! YEP, I'll be back! read more

WOW, just WOW. Salty bacon covered in chocolate, heaven and you can get it with milk chocolate or dark. THEN what did I discover but chocolate with jalapeño and wasabi. I mean holy cow, they couldn't have done better if they had filled chocolate with rum. Good chocolate isn't cheap, this is good, so figure it out. You think Hershey's is good chocolate, don't go here. If you are a true chocolate lover, you MUST stop here. Friendly staff, lot of variety, even sugar free and they also have those Snow Baby figurines. I really can't brag on this place enough! Next time maybe they will offer me some rum with my chocolate. read more

Everyone here is so friendly. The key lime truffle was out of this world, and I'm not even a huge key lime fan. This was just wonderfully balanced. There's something for everyone! read more

A GREAT NEW OPTION! This was my second chocolate shop visit of day. The first time, it was all about the caramel nut clusters and this time I decided to go with the milk chocolate options and the almond toffee. Lord, Lord, Lord, those little toffee bars were everything, clearly the star of the show. I am a nut for nuts so I did enjoy the almond, cashew and pecan milk chocolate clusters but absolutely nothing could compare with that toffee. This store was not just a chocolate shop, it was a really nice gift shop as well with plenty of items for purchase. Most of the gift items were Christmas themed to get you in the mood. If you walk straight ahead into the store, you will encounter the kitchen and can actually see the candy being made. How cool is that? This shop reminded me of my favorite candy shop in Pigeon Forge, TN, and is so nice to know that I now have another option closer to home. read more

First stop in Dahlonega because chocolate of course! SO MANY chocolate and candy choices, i had a really hard time narrowing it down. They had even had chocolate-covered potato chips and bacon. I settled on a half-pound of the truffles which you have many choices for. I made an awesome decision. You get 12-13 nice-sized truffles, impossible not to sit there and eat the whole thing. Honestly I wish I had gotten 12 of the dark chocolate raspberry truffles because holy crap, they were so delicious. They also have doggie treats which I got and my dogs loved them (bow-wow biscuits). Lady behind the counter was really nice. read more

The chocolates are amazing!!! Seriously the best. Experienced the chocolates initially with wine pairings at the Three Sisters Vineyard, and we ended up going downtown to get more chocolate! So many options for everyone. read more
