The shop is located in a vibrant pink house and has its own parking lot. The house has various rooms with different options to choose from in each.

I couldn't find dark chocolate turtles, just milk chocolate. The employee offered to make a box of exactly what I was looking for on the spot. I'll definitely be back and highly recommend you give it a try!

I saw a display case of dozens of flavors of chocolates (e.g., nuts and fruits) and a store-full of other sweet treats (e.g., gummies, hard candies, caramel apples, and sodas). Prices were average. The cashier promptly and politely processed my transaction. I purchased three types of chocolates--chocolate-covered raisins, chocolate-covered pretzels, and turtles/pecan clusters--and I enjoyed the taste of all of them.

I've been there a few times now, and I have to say...their chocolates are far superior to a lot I…read morehave had. Some of my favorite things they do are their homemade chocolate pretzels, chocolate-covered strawberries, and the chocolate covered raspberries. When I think to myself, "how can you make a chocolate covered pretzel better than someone else's?", the only thing I can come up with is they must put some sort of magical dust or something in their chocolate. The pretzels are seriously awesome. As for their strawberries when they have them, you can always tell they must actually "take note" of what strawberries they use. They are fresh, and flavorful...and they actually have ENOUGH chocolate on them, something i'm disappointed with when I've had others attempts. As for the raspberries...they put three or so big juicy fresh raspberries into a circle cup mold, and decorate beautifully with rock sugar, etc. They are truly awesome. I've not been disappointed in anything...even their peanut butter melt-a-ways are awesome! Don't skip on this place should you want some REALLY GOOD chocolate treats.

This is an odd sort of review, because the only chocolates I've eaten from here were the ones she tutored us to create. And...well...they were magnificent. So rewinding a bit... I was looking for gift idea for SB. A friend at work pointed me to a link to a listicle or PG article about a chocolate making class. I'd never heard of it before. Completely in the weeds. When I went to A519's webpage, it was not intuitively obvious to me where I could go to sign up. BUT...it's listed under "products"...https://shop.a519chocolate.com/products/private-truffle-making-class There...I made a link for you. If you love chocolate, or you love someone who loves chocolate, this class was really fantastic. It broke down a bit like this...(2 hours) 1) Introductions/qualifications/backstory (5 minutes) 2) Presentation about cacao to chocolate...bean to bar. Terminology, taste, geography (10-15 minutes) 3) Tasting...taste various types of "raw materials" used to make chocolate truffles, white chocolate, dulce, milk chocolate, various percentages of dark chocolate up to 85% (20 - 30 minutes) 4) Making chocolates (the remainder) Informative, entertaining, delicious, and satisfying. It's a working kitchen, but doesn't take up a ton of space, so a six person class can be a bit cramped, but not uncomfortably so. There was plenty of space for each couple to follow instructions and hands-on. We first decorated molds using cocoa butter sprinkles (a la Jackson Pollock), then painted with an air brush, then made ganache and tempered chocolate and poured and scraped, cooled and broke molds, each couple taking home 24 BEAUTIFUL truffles. SB likes 'experience gifts', and this one was a great experience for us both. And the truffles WE made were amazing, so I can't imagine how good the ones Amanda (owner/chef) produces would be. Strongly encourage (think: valentine's day gift).

They recently opened a pop up shop in central Lawrenceville which will be open through Feb 2018. When I arrived I met Amanda Wright's husband who is in charge of the shop. Chocolate truffles come in different size boxes and are very expensive. You can still order from Amanda either on-line or call her shop where she produces them if you are unable to come out. Boxes range anywhere from two to a box for $4.00 to about fifteen in a box for $30.00. Although they are grouped by category such as caramels, you are permitted to mix and match to your liking. I decided to opt for a champagne filled truffle and a dark chocolate one. They were box very nicely and I ate them when I got home. Believe me as always they are to die for! These chocolates are to be savored. Wine pairing also helps you enjoy the flavors better. I don't mind have to shelve out a little extra cash when I know something is extra special and believe me I have never been disappointed in any or their high end chocolates. If you are able to get to central Lawrenceville during the holiday season this place is a must if you want to get some of the best candy in the city. Amanda can also custom design a box using sports teams or beautiful art. This makes a great gift for someone who is indeed a chocolate lover.
