What a great place to stop and visit when you're in Grass Valley!…read more I had come to town after a hike and obviously needed to rejuvenate myself with chocolate! What a delight. Walls and walls and walls of homemade chocolates. Three or four shelves of a variety of black licorice, my absolute favorite. And three ice cream freezers. One for Italian ices, one for gelatos and one for standard ice cream. Staff waa super friendly and helpful, guiding us through all of the choices. My hiking companion and I ordered a whole bunch of black licorice, one of our favorites. He then got two scoops of the chocolate ice cream, and I got two scoops of gelato: hazelnut and salted caramel. The ice creams and gelatos were delicious. And the assortment of black licorice was amazing. We brought home a quarter of a pound, and quickly gobbled it up when we got home. If you're in town and in need of replenishing some calories, I highly suggest you stop into this delightful shop with the greatest servers ever.

The shop owner was very friendly and helpful. Our cousin bought a chocolate drink and a chocolate bar. *Xocolatada House Cacao: Guatemalan ceremonial cacao, vanilla, cinnamon, salt, raw cacao powder, coconut sugar, mesquite pod powder, house-made cashew milk (4/5). We got to sip some of his ice cold drink! It was cool, rich, creamy, chocolate-y yumminess with a somewhat "gritty texture". Enjoyable anytime! *Definite 70% Öko-Caribe (V): This two-ingredient chocolate bar is made with cacao from Öko-Caribe, located in Pimentel in the Duarte province, the largest cacao growing region in the country. The tasting notes of this chocolate are citrus fruits, dried fruits and nuts. Support your local business.

I even tried one of their unique drinks. It was delicious. I also bought 4 different bars and can't wait to gift a few of them to friends. There are a few cozy places to sit down and enjoy yourself. Looking forward to going back this summer and trying a few more things... I think I'll call this my "year of chocolate".

I have been coming to Graegle for a good portion of my life, and have somehow never made it here. Both the inside and outside was decorated for Valentine's Day, and it had so much character! I ordered a Vanilla Latte (per usual) and it was a 10/10. It wasn't too sweet and the temperature was perfect for how cold it was outside. We also got some hot chocolates for the little ones, and they were perfect temp and they loved them. The server was also so sweet and accommodating. I will definitely be making coming here a regular occurence whenever I'm around!

This is located on he second floor towards the back and there are signs to help guide you in the right direction. We had come for the temporary location for the snow sports museum and so glad we saw this! Ev is very knowledgeable and friendly. He was professional while being friendly and so knowledgeable about all of the candies in the store. He gave samples so that we could try some and was a hit every time. He was willing to listen what you liked and tell you what was good as well as watch out for any allergies. We have been slowly going through the candies we bought at this place and have really liked all of them! Some more than others but every one of them have been a hit and we plan on going back the next time we are in Tahoe. I highly recommend as this was a delicious side quest that is going to become a main quest.

Amazing quality. A tad pricey. But you pay for what you get. And this is elegance. My favorites are the Kraken, peanut butter cups and strawberry balsamic.

This is a local gem!

Ask them to heat up their goodies in the oven for an especially delicious treat!

The chocolate chip cookie and monkey bread are also good, but the other two take the lead. 5 Stars!!!!!!

I came here for a high tea experience on a Sunday in February and it was delightful! The tables…read morewere already set as we walked in with cute unique teacups. We sat down and ordered the tea we liked. We each got to choose our own tea and was told we could try as many as we want. I liked the pacing; I was able to have a long conversation with my friend without feeling rushed and no interruptions. Everything that came out was delicious. The scone was a little too flaky, in my opinion, but was still very tasty. It didn't look like a lot of food, but we were both very satisfied. I am definitely going to bring my Mom back for this. Also, the mini cakes here (not included in high tea) are absolutely gorgeous. They are not too sweet, and remind me of what I used to get at cafes in Japan. My favorite that I've tried so far is the blueberry cake. I love them all though. Can't wait to try more!

It doesnt seem like they'll seat you early, so show up just a few minutes before your reservation. I think there is adequate parking out front as its in a shopping center. They brought out our tea first. We ordered the breakfast blend, which was a loose leafed tea. It was fine. It is all served in smaller tea cups, so fellas, pinkies out! There is a picture of the food we were served, and everything tasted really good! Even the stuff that didn't match our taste preferences. It looks like they have a different menu of food items each month. Note that they will not make substitutions to the food that is being served unless you have a food allergy. In addition to afternoon tea, they also have coffee, desserts, and gelato that can be purchased. We were so full that we didn't take any extra sweets home with us. Sophie was our server and was super friendly and offered to answer any questions we had. For the price, and the quality of food, I'd come back for the regular afternoon tea.

I've only been here a few times since I now live out of town... but every time I visit, I appreciate the interior - I really like the look! We started with spinach / artichoke dip as an appetizer... thumbs up all around the table on that one. There are actually several appetizers on the menu that look good - it's always tough for me to choose - but if you just wanted to drop by for a happy hour nibble, I'd say most people would be covered. It'd be fair to say that apps are one of their strengths. I had a caesar salad, and it was good! Pretty standard caesar, but I'm amazed that many restaurants manage to screw it up by drowning it in dressing or whatever. None of the common mistakes here - nice fresh, crisp lettuce... good dressing and imo the right amount - not too heavy, not too light. Just right. One of my friends had the Chicken Parm and the other had Shrimp Scampi - both reported goodness! The dishes looked great, but I behaved this time and kept my fork to myself. I had the salmon - one of my "go to" dishes - and it was good as well. Yes... we had dessert! There were several good options, but we decided to share the cookie "mess". Good balance with all ingredients... and for something described as a "mess," it was plated quite well! Definitely high on my list of possibilities when I'm in the area!

I saw that Dorinda's was having an open house and thought it might be fun to check it out, and I am…read moreso glad I did. I hadn't yet had a chance to try their chocolate, and this was an amazing opportunity to not only try a wide variety (mint meltaway, peanut butter cup, espresso bean, chocolate pretzel), but to also make some by hand! Visitors were allowed back into the kitchen, where we washed hands and donned gloves, and were then given a tutorial in how to dip and decorate dark chocolate salted caramels. Mine were not too bad (I'll keep my day job), but they absolutely tasted delicious. All of the chocolates had a very fresh and distinctly non-mass-produced taste. Dorinda's clearly offers high-quality candies, while also coming up with some amazing flavors like the rice crispies and the strawberry balsamic. (I got to taste the actual olive oil used for this, and I will have to pick some up next time I'm in Truckee). The biggest surprise was their cherry cordial. Cherries are my top 2 favorite chocolates, and these are absolutely the best I've had (better than See's, Godiva, etc.). Perfect blend of dark chocolate, tart maraschino cherry, liquid center, and the bit of fondant icing...and noticeably freshly made. Thank you Dorinda's for the opportunity to discover your chocolates and to get a glimpse into the magic behind these delicious candies. TIP: You can also pre-order and pick up your Frost Giant Creamery (small batch, locally sourced, made from scratch) ice cream here. I kept hearing everyone say, "Wow, that's good!" after tasting their Nevada Gold sample.
