My favorite chocolatier in Frederick, MD! My friend took me there years ago, when it was still on Shan Row. I lost track of the new location after awhile, but found it again during my last visit! It has the cutest painted a fun detailed truffles, and the flavors are on point! During the winter they have the best hot chocolate! So yummy! The staff is always so patient and helpful as I make my decisions (it's so hard to choose)! They also have other chocolate items and gifts from local to around the world! read more

Tiny shop with the most BEAUTIFUL CHOCOLATE you've ever seen! Creative flavors like cardamom caramel, earl gray grapefruit, and rosemary pear caramel keep you coming back for more! And yes, there are vegan flavors! In the wintertime, they have some of the best hot chocolate you'll ever taste. The only downside is that it's a small business that doesn't stay open late at night on the weekends (which is usually when I'm in Frederick). read more

I visited The Perfect Truffle on a Saturday evening after hours for their bean to bar chocolate tasting. The owner, Cody, was welcoming and friendly. The tasting consisted of 4 different types of chocolate, all unique and craft chocolates. I would have liked to see a little more variety in the chocolates in terms of types/fillings BUT I will say it was really interesting to learn how the amounts of ingredients (sugar, milk, cocoa) and where the beans were made impacts the chocolate flavor. At the end of the tasting, Cody let us taste some of the most delicious hot chocolate I've ever had!! We also got a 10% discount on purchased items. I got 12 truffles and a korean chili flake chocolate bar to enjoy with hubby later. They were all delicious! read more

The chocolate was delicious.. I fear it was worth the $3 a piece. Customer service from the lady working this morning was completely awful and was not willing to help with suggestions at all. read more

I was so excited to find my favorite thing - chocolate! And all of the truffles were to beautifully colorful! I think I ended up selecting about 8 at least. The Spiced honey and the peanut butter were great. And definitely the strawberry stood out! I'm so glad we stopped her on our girls date for a little treat! I confess I did all of my loot that same day. Lol read more

[Coronavirus review] Not only can you order curbside pickup online, the store was actually open when I stopped by. This was definitely the sort of place where you want to look at the product before you buy it, because it's so pretty. I managed to restrain myself to eight truffles, some of which I shared. I must say I was most excited for the dark chocolate mint, which was the shiniest-looking but the least delicious of the bunch. The other varieties I sampled were much more richly flavored. This doesn't appear to be a special diet place (i.e. didn't see any vegan/GF labeling). It does deliver a combined visual and taste experience that's worth the stop. read more

Another great choice to get your chocoholic fix in the wonderful DTF. (Btw that's downtown Frederick, not down to.... Yeah...) Great chocolate to be had here, great choice too just a little less choice than Zoe's down the street. Same price more or less and same great quality. But for me Zoe's is that little it better. After all if you're paying $2 per chocolate you want the best. But it's worth the compare the two personally. Otherwise you might find these to be the better option. read more

I love this coffee shop in the downtown Frederick area. It is surrounded by nice businesses & restaurants, so you can make a shopping spree out of it. The passion that goes into this business is evident by the elegant flavors and tastes. I have been in several times to order a variety of truffles, and never been disappointed. They are oh so tasteful, and well made. Chocolate lovers, stop in! read more

Stopped by this place just to check it out. Overall, I am not a big chocolate fan, but my friends are so they did all the oohing and aahing while we were there. Their chocolates look really pretty that you want to purchase and eat them all. A few that I saw were Apple (nice green color), Lavender (purple petals with a yellow center on top - love their attention to details), Hibiscus Tea (squares with red on top and a flower etched in), and Grand Marnier (bright red color). These colors were just the outside of the chocolate. Saw the prices and decided just to get 2 - Grand Marnier and Hibiscus Tea and they were good. I can't remember what they tasted like, but I do remember enjoying them. The employee was very helpful as well. read more

Awesome thick and rich mini hot chocolate. The kids had brownies,but they were cold. It would be great if they were warmed up a little bit on a cold day. Lots of interesting chocolates that I never saw before. I'll be coming back to try some truffles in the near future. read more

I stopped in here for hot chocolate during the Fire in Ice festival. The hot chocolate was so good I thought they melted a chocolate bar, made it smooth and creamy, and put in in a cup. read more

Truly world-class shop and chocolatier. The best selection of single-source top quality chocolate bars from around the world. Hand-crafted, in-house truffles are artistic, delicious, creative, and make a vibrant gift box. Best in your stomach though! Mmmmm. read more

Got a 12 pack of truffles for about $24 dollars for my mother. Before walking in, this place may seem empty. But right when you walk in, it seemed like an ice cream store. The walls were covered in bright colors and the front had "awards" for best chocolate of some sort for certain years. I was convinced. I couldn't just walk out without buying anything. The young lady who worked there was very kind and helped me choose which flavors would be 1) dark chocolate and 2) tasty. She also provided a brochure which showed the flavors in each truffle. Each truffle is made in house. The only negative I see, which I can see why, is the price. Each truffle is about $2. The more you buy, the cheaper it gets. However, even at 12 truffles, it was $2 per truffle. I tried the coffee vanilla truffle only (before writing this review), and it was melting in my mouth. I loved it. read more

If you are walking around downtown Frederick, this is a no non-sense kinda place. Chocolates are great and the staff is extremely helpful and act as your guide as they explain all of the different flavors and such. The reason for 2 stars and not 5 is I have never walked out of there without spending upwards of 50 dollars. That being said, I can't fault the place for my lack of self control! Check this small place out, you'll thank me later. read more

I've worked and lived downtown yet haven't been back to The Perfect Truffle since they moved to their Market St. location. I love walking in the door and smelling all the chocolate. Every chocolate bar they sell has a lovely wrapper design and all their truffles have unique flavors and have beautiful swirls of color. What brought me back, though, was hearing that they now had frozen mousse! Yum! Their flavors will rotate and I enjoyed a strongly flavored, but still delicious, chocolate chip mint. They also have snow cones flavored with real fruit, can't wait to try those next! read more

Two dollar truffles made local, actually right in the store. Variety of color and flavors that reflect the seasonal favorites. Very pretty and come with a pretty box of gifting. The staff was friendly! Expect to park in the street and enjoy! read more

You gotta go. Like chocolate? Don't miss this destination. Truffles that explode with flavor. Craft chocolate bars from around the world. Drinking chocolate that soothes your soul. Ask about the vanilla truffle--made from scratch with a vanilla pod hand-picked from a tree. Or the blueberry cobbler truffle -- a nugget of blueberry pie with whipped cream. Owner/chef Cody is a creative genius, and each truffle has its own personality. Find the one that matches yours. It's worth the trip! read more

per·fect adjective adjective: perfect prfikt/ 1. having all the required or desirable elements, qualities, or characteristics; as good as it is possible to be. "she strove to be the perfect wife" synonyms: ideal, model, without fault, faultless, flawless, consummate, quintessential, exemplary, best, ultimate, copybook; More I find The Perfect Truffle to be absolutely deserving of their title. After sampling several of their flavors, I can say I've never had anything bad here. And not only have I never had anything bad, everything I have had has been "having all the required or desirable elements, qualities, or characteristics" and is certainly ""as good as it is possible to be." It's hard to pick a favorite. The vanilla truffle was unexpected and noteworthy. But there are some that totally surprise you like Passion Fruit. All their amazing and beautiful flavors are on their website. read more

Perfect Truffle - Flying Dog Beer collaboration - Chocolatiers & Shops Near Me - Frederick, Maryland

The new location is stunning and dare I say, "Perfect." Each chocolate is a masterpiece for the senses. They look so amazing you're afraid to actually eat them but once you do you're so happy you did. These aren't chocolates that you wolf down like a bag of Reese's Minis. Each one is an event that you should stop and ponder the subtle flavors and texture. A great example is their lavender truffle. It is a thing to behold with is beautifully contrasting colors, but the lavender-infused chocolate will delight you more than you can imagine. This place is special and Frederick is lucky to have them!!! read more

Holy cow these things are gorgeous. About $2 per truffle. So beautiful. If you're in the mood for something safe and traditional, try the sea salt dark chocolate caramel thing. If you want to be cool, go for the olive oil thyme. read more

Let me start off by saying that I'm not a chocohalic by anyone's definition. My tastes run toward milk chocolate & white (I know it's not really) chocolate. Yet I've liked truffles in the past and was expecting a Godiva-like experience with these costly sweets. I got a box of 8 truffles. Flavors: vanilla 101, irish cream, vienna cinammon tea, smores, amaretto, honey ginger balsamic, dark chocolate & Old Bay. I was surprised to find that, no matter the flavor, they left a bitter aftertaste in my mouth. (BTW, the dark chocolate & old bay were for hubby.). The flavor of the inside didn't compensate for the bitterness. I wish I'd seen the Yelp coupon for $7 since I paid full price. They were certainly each beautiful to look at, but not tasty for me. read more

I'm actually really glad I found this place; I was disappointed with The Candy Kitchen downtown as they don't make their own chocolates, so I was looking for a real chocolatier and The Perfect Truffle is one. On the plus side, the regular chocolates they make they do very well. The basic flavors I tried, such as salted caramel, vanilla, chocolate mint, etc, were all extremely decadent. On the downside, their more "adventurous" flavors (such as an Old Bay chocolate truffle, cayenne pepper truffle, cinnamon pear balsamic truffle) missed the mark. I'm really glad they put themselves out there and are willing to try new things, but quite a few of these truffles just didn't work. The truffles themselves, regardless of their taste, are absolutely gorgeous. It's a gift in and of itself to see these truffles. The box they're placed in after you pick them out is a gold plastic that really compliments the chocolates, and gets wrapped in a nice bow. The location of the store is a bit meh for someone who wants to walk around more of the downtown-downtown area. But for someone like me who often parks at Shab Row and goes to the other places there such as the coffee shop, Tea Emporium, and the bakery, then this place is just right across the street from Angel Cakes in the brick plaza (like behind the Talbots). 4/5 read more

I ordered 190 boxes of truffles as wedding favors. They were so delicious, beautifully packaged, shipped and arrived on time. Every single truffle was decadent, melt in your mouth delicious and simply beautiful to look at! It was as if each individual truffle was a work of art. Cody was very easy to work with, listened to my request and gave me exactly what I wanted. read more

Oh my goodness! This is hands down the best truffle place on the planet. Beautiful, tiny and crisp chocolate shell with the creamiest filling. So delicious, I literally was chewing and saying, mmm, mmm, mmm! Yummy! We will be back! I'm glad I don't live in Frederick, bc I'd gain 10 lbs in a heartbeat. Super friendly service and a cute place and clean. Reasonable prices. If you love yourself and you love chocolate, you owe it to yourself to buy a box. read more

I'm so excited about the truffles at the Perfect Truffle. I recently got turned on to a box of 24 of these delicious chocolates. Every bite was sensational. I love it because I am satisfied after 1 or 2 and my calorie count stays in check. I am having a truffle tasting party with my nieces next week. I can't wait until they experience these beautiful "eye candy truffles". It was easy and fast to order them online. I am a regular customer now and want to say, "Whenever you have troubles, have some truffles." It really Works!! Sandy B read more

Overpriced and rude staff, don't waste your time here! City was super crowded yesterday and this place was empty, and clearly for a reason.

This rating is based entirely on my amazing chocolate & wine pairings in many, many wineries. It's almost sad to think I can walk into a winery and recognize their chocolate from sight alone, and be almost as excited about the chocolate as the wine. A bacon-loving coworker became a best friend because I brought a bacon truffle back with me. I've never been to their store, but I feel like I know them so well. One day I shall visit you, The Perfect Truffle. Be prepared. read more

The perfect truffle has some high-end truffles, mostly of the dark chocolate type, but they do have a couple milk chocolate varieties. I wish this shop was in a more visible location because it was behind one of the main streets and was located near a parking area. Although I only tried one type, the appearance and quality rivals Chrisopher Elbow chocolates. read more

Pricey but delicious. The truffles are all beautiful. Hot chocolate was so rich I could not finish it in one sitting!

What an adorable establishment! And not only that, but their truffles are to DIE for! My aunt sent me the now famous Old Bay truffles for Christmas as I 1) am obsessed with Old Bay, 2) am a chocolate lover and 3) hadn't been home to Frederick in a long time. How awesome is all I can say! So when I finally came home for a visit I had to stop in and grab a few more and say Hi to the staff. They are so warm and friendly, I can see why they are getting so much attention. read more

Randy O. makes the best chocolate in Frederick easily, and possibly some of the best chocolate available in the area. The lavender truffles blew my mind, the oatmeal stout truffles are delicious, and every piece he creates is inspired. You will never want to settle for Godiva or other mass-produced chocolates ever again! Not that I wouldn't eat them if someone put them in front of me...its chocolate after all, but you know what I mean. I know he doesn't make food anymore, but I hope they still make the chocolate roast coffee available. That was some of the best coffee I had ever had. read more

Stopped in this little gem last week. They have a great Yelp deal for a box of 8 chocolates for $7 (normally around $15). I took advantage of the deal but there were so many flavors that I had to get another box! They are all made in this shop so the staff knows everything about each flavor, which is great. These chocolates are a bit pricey but they're worth it. I gave one of the boxes to a client and they really enjoyed them. They make great gifts, apparently! I'll definitely be back when I need chocolates for a special occasion. read more
