We love Dorinda's Chocolates! They have been such a kind and consistent supporter of our work and…read morethe young people we serve. Their team recently welcomed our staff for a tour of their headquarters, and it was such a treat to see how much care goes into what they make. Every piece is handcrafted by their small local team, and you can feel the pride they take in their work. We also got to taste their seasonal Key Lime Pie Bonbon, which was incredible. On top of the tour, Dorinda's donated several huge bags of pretzels for our clients and staff to enjoy. Dorinda's has also participated in our But First, Dessert Gala every year from 2022 through 2025 and is a three-time winner of our Best Dessert Award, which says a lot because the competition is always strong. We are grateful to have Dorinda's as a neighbor, a partner, and a local business that genuinely shows up for the community. Highly recommend supporting this amazing local business and community supporter!

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.

The music was a good mix of throwbacks and newer songs which made the vibe really fun. I'd say it's a little pricey, but they definitely have unique items you can't find at most places and everything we tried was delicious. Also, there's quite a few seafood options which I love & are always on the pricier side! We shared the lox crostini bites, charcuterie board, and ahi nachos between 4 people and it was the perfect amount -- satisfying without being too much. Might go again this weekend! Can't wait to try more things on the menu & take pics this time!

There is such a variety of options available that you may have never seen before. I love the variety and especially the unique flavors - these make such great gifts. They also have some special shaped candy boxes like the shape of Nevada. You should also keep a lookout for the sale area, you can get amazing prices on great candy!

Wanted a caramel apple and decided to try the butterfinger caramel apple. I was quite surprised…read morewith how good it was especially since I opted to try something new and not get my snickers one. The ratio of caramel to apple to chocolate and the butterfinger was perfect. I also like the chocolate covered cheesecake but in my opinion it's better to let that one sit out a few minutes so the cheesecake is still semi frozen but soft.

Jeez, I literally dream of this place. Particularly one thing- their avalanche apple! It is soooooo…read moredang good. This consists of crushed Oreos, marshmallows, rice crispies, different types of chocolate or chocolate chips, u personally think they taste like peanut butter. Pairing that with fruit especially the apple is omg chefs kiss! Love candied apples!! I believe you can also get these avalanche bars by themself. The service was excellent! They give you a sample of fudge, a truffle or anything you are looking for this is why we always make a b line for it! Super friendly and we love love love love their chocolate! I also am hearing they have the Dubai chocolate stuff so I'll certainly have to try that!!! The vibe is cute!! It's super cozy and tucked away as well as being very neatly organized and the SMELL is literally amazing!!! You could smell the chocolatey aroma from miles away! If I could remember correct I think they have yummy drinks as well! I would love to come back to this location every time next time we are in that area we absolutely love it!

We chose to sit at their backyard patio. Eric gave us recommendations on the menu for kava. I appreciate that the drinks can be adjusted for sweetness. I ordered the kava chai (whole milk) and the Tahoe sunrise which came with complimentary biscoff cookies. We also tried traditional bowl of kava, which has a very earthy taste. The kava chai and Tahoe sunrise were delicious and refreshing. Kava has an analgesic (soothing/calming) effect throughout the body. I felt the effect not long after drinking the kava chai. We enjoyed our time here, the cozy atmosphere, great service and refreshing drinks contributed to a wonderful time.
