Chocolate Smiles is the best hidden gem and real candy maker around, highly recommended as the spot to grab chocolate. Entering is truly like stepping into a storybook with an enchanting atmosphere. They offer an excellent and overwhelming variety with many interesting flavors, including exceptional and addictive treats like chocolate covered strawberries, cherries, apricots, pistachio truffles, espresso chocolate, dark chocolate raspberry truffles, and blueberry chocolate bark. Every chocolate is beautifully designed, exceptionally decadent, fresh, and delicious with really good execution on flavor. The staff is super friendly, professional, caring, and attentive, and they wrap boxes beautifully. There are also cute little gifts in the back to browse. Support local, this place is definitely worth it for high-quality, memorable chocolate gifts or just a personal treat.
