Art Eatables is a fantastic shop for both locals and visitors. There are options for adults and for kids. Who doesn't love chocolate? I stopped in today for a couple of items for a care package. Immediately I was greeted at the door asking if it was my first time in. I've been in several times for holiday gifts. They have a massive selection of bourbon balls. They've been a huge hit every time they've been gifted. Each time I've visited, they've offered a sample of a bourbon ball. It's a great place to introduce visitors to bourbon balls! I haven't had the chance to do the bourbon tasting here yet but it's definitely on my list. You can add on chocolates! read more

Five stars. Hands down. Everything is DELICIOUS. They have samples you can try. There's a bar in the back of the shop. Lots of goodies to bring back for souvenirs or for your own enjoyment. The staff are SO NICE and helpful. If you say you like chocolates with sea salt, they can show you every option. Prefer a type of chocolate or candy? They'll show you exactly what you need. We have popped in here every time and are never disappointed. We found this spot because of a distillery tour at Angel's Envy - they do chocolate pairings with the bourbon. It was so good, we had to check it out. read more

On a walking tour of the city, we stopped in here for our "dessert". We were all given a taste of two different chocolates. While there, we walked all around the store and bought a few things. They don't just have things to eat! I'd recommend going and getting some chocolates and seeing what else you might find! read more

We saw an advertisement for chocolate so obviously I had to stop in. They offer alcohol infused chocolates and alcohol free options. If you go into the alcohol area they have a bar where you can order a drink. There were also samples available. I purchased a treat that was alcohol free. I bought a milk chocolate covered oreo that had a little monster on it. It was delicious! The staff was great and answered all of our questions about their treats. The front area was well lit and when you went into the back the light was a little bit lowered to fit in with the ambience of the bourbon theme. read more

Tracy was amazing! As the sober driver for our Whiskey Tow excursion this was the one spot I was looking forward to visiting. We arrived at closing and Tracy kept the shop open so we could do our shopping. I picked up some of my favorite chocolates and was grateful for her extra effort! read more

OMG... if you like chocolate and Bourbon then you must go here. The infusion of the two is incredible!! They also have lots of other cooking things. Along with our chocolate we also bought bourbon flavored salt for cooking! Will totally go back here! read more

We had the chocolate dipped bourbon modjeskas as part of a tasting at the Old Forester Distillery Tour in downtown and I have to say that they stole the show and paired very nicely with the bourbon. It was a lovely treat for those of us who are not just there for the bourbon. These modjeskas rounded off the bourbon experience so much so that when we left the Old Forester gift shop we headed straight down the road to where they are made! This store had a wonderful selection of one of a kind treats. It was like the best one stop shop for stocking stuffers. I will definitely recommend stopping into this place to anyone who is in the downtown area! read more

This is such a cute and unique place. The front half is unique Kentucky themed decorated chocolates and the back half is bourbon and chocolates. We got a free sample and it was the best bourbon ball I've ever had. They were friendly to the kids and the treats are priced well. We'll be back! read more

Super cool place that I had to find after having some of their chocolates at a bourbon tasting at one of the distilleries. I bought several boxes and have opened and shared two of them so far with friends in DC and will most likely be picking up more the next time I'm in Louisville. The flavor of the individual bourbons actually comes though then eating the different chocolates. To me that's quite an achievement rather than them simply tasting like generic "bourbon". (Kudos!) I was all set to give 5 stars until reading some of the other 5-star reviews where people were raving about their tasting bar. Yes, I saw a bar in the back, but not having been there before I would have appreciated someone working there telling me about it. (And yes, I could have asked what's the deal with the bar . . . . but that's not really my job and you don't know that you don't know until someone explains it to you. The person at the entrance was very nice and informative when I first entered but I probably spent a good half hour or more in the shop, some of that time as the only customer, making my selections with no one in the back room saying a word to me. I would have appreciated banter/recommendations regarding the chocolates or and introduction to the tasting bar. My whining aside, the chocolates are phenomenal! Having a cookout tonight and will open another box or two. read more

Art Eatables - Chocolatiers & Shops Near Me - Louisville, Kentucky

Art Eatables is a must stop!! If you're on Whiskey Row, there is no reason not to stop here. There is plenty of street parking. We walked over from Evan Williams. I saw someone with a bag and asked where it was located. It's super simple to locate. The staff was amazing. I was in heaven due to so many choices. They have them arranged so easy to find what you're looking for. Regular candies and other Whiskey/Bourbon items are upfront. Chocolates with spirits are located in the back. They do offer free samples. The staff is extremely helpful trying to get you want you want. I was pleased to find I could do a tasting there in the back. It's very affordable and lots of choices. The basic tasting was $8 with 4 samples. You can upgrade for a small fee. They have a tasting witchocolatete pairings and a 4th slot you can choose. I did the latter. Mine came with Woodford Reserve Double Oaked, Blade and Bow, Minor Case Rye, and I picked Booker for upgrade. I've always wanted to try Booker. It was only $13.25, which to me was worth the experience. We had a wonderful conversation. I would say definitely stop by here. I will certainly be back and bring friends and family. Lovely gem on Main St!! read more

Tasty chocolates with all kinds of bourbon varieties, but I also recommend the various flavors of caramel shots.

Amazing chocolates. We went back for more. The bourbon and chocolate pairing was very fun and interesting.

We were in Louisville trying some of the distilleries on Main Street and found Art Eatables. This was a fun little store, they walked around in the store with samples of their bourbon/whiskey truffles. I liked the truffles so well I purchased a box of them! They are not a distillery but they have bottles from all of the distilleries around town. In the back of the shop is a bar and you can sample up to 4 different bourbons or whiskeys. The name of the bar is "Baptized in Bourbon". You write the name of the whiskey or bourbon on a piece of paper that has four squares on it and based on what you chose the cashier charges you per sample, mine came to $8.50 but it can be as high as $12.50 based on what you choose. The four I chose were Basil Hayden Dark Rye, Four Gate Bourbon, Jeptha Creed bourbon, and Chicken Cock bourbon. They give you the samples on the squares where you have them written and they also give you a bottle of water that has a dropper in it. They have you try the bourbon or whiskey with no water and then to get a different flavor profile you add a couple drops of water. I will probably stop here again when I am in Louisville running around and give a different 4 bourbons a try! Only one card per customer per day. read more

Stopped in by accident. Did not know what is was and found out it was a chocolate fun store. I was given a sample of their candy and found it to be very good. NO doubt you can taste the bourbon. Since my father loved Wild Turkey I picked up a couple of small boxes to take back home for all to enjoy. Each small box was $11 for 4 pieces. Make sure you ask if they have a discount because they do not mention it. I always ask and this store gave me a military discount of 10%. Thank you. My daughter lives here so when she comes back from Germany I will make sure she goes in to try their chocolate. read more

Loved the opportunity to sample. Eagle Rare bourbon truffles are delicious! Can't find anything Eagle Rare anywhere.

By far one of the best chocolate shops in Louisville! I love supporting this local family shop and had not visited this particular location. So happy I spotted it next to Frazier Museum. The manager and team at this store were incredibly hospitable. The crowd was busy and they gave every person attention and help. Today's stash included chocolate dipped modjeskas, pretzel and caramel chocolate, chocolate covered orange jellies, Ballotin bourbon truffles and gummies. Art Eatables is known for its bourbon truffles but you'll be delighted at multiple other options, including sugar and nut free candies for children and the young at heart. read more

Absolutely loved this place. Warm and friendly staff paired with delicious chocolate and whiskey tastings. What's not to love?

This caught my eye when my friend & I were walking around Whiskey Row looking for a place for lunch. We stopped in after we ate, and it's a real treat! Good bourbon selection, great chocolates, and the bourbon & chocolate pairing was a nice surprise. Only $12 for 4 bourbon samples and 3 pieces of chocolate. Really a fun experience. read more

Pretty cool spot. If you're coming in from out of town it's a great spot to grab some souvenirs that are bourbon themed. The employees are super nice and willing to let you sample some honey finished in a bourbon barrel and chocolates. Nice touch so you can get a state before you commit to buying some product. Inventory doesn't turn over very much, but a solid place to check out. Not sure I'd go out of my way to visit again. Nothing negative to say about the experience so not a 3 star. Not exceptional, so not a 5 star. read more

Art Eatables - Peerless bourbon chocolate truffles - Chocolatiers & Shops Near Me - Louisville, Kentucky

Listen, we all know coconut is divisive. You either love it or hate it. It can be hard to find coconut products in a candy shop, which is a dang shame because I'm 100% team coconut. So I was delighted to discover that Art Eatables sells toasted coconut bark. Let me tell you, it is as delicious as it sounds. I split the bag (there are 3 pieces) with my husband and we both agreed that I should have purchased more. The chocolate itself is quality, and chewy toasted coconut on top makes it a candy to savor. The store itself is charming and sells a variety of gifts. They have a line of candy specifically for kids, made without nuts. Customer service was great. Note that there is metered parking around this location. Art Eatables also has a shop in the suburbs with free parking. So go treat yourself or a friend! read more

If you love bourbon and chocolate, this is your place! They are known for their bourbon truffles and were previously voted "Best Candy Shop in KY" by Food Network. They have partnerships with local KY distilleries to make brand specific bourbon truffles. I am a Woodford Reserve girl myself and the chocolates were heavenly. They were no longer selling Weller and Michters flavors due to the limited availability of high end bourbons right now, but had plenty of other varieties. They also sell candy shop type candies for kids and modjeskas, which are caramel coated marshmallows invented in Louisville originally. read more

My niece, nephew & I stopped at Art Edibles on a whim after visiting the nearby science museum.  Now mind you, it was a scorcher outside at 95 degrees or so but chocolate always sounds good! So, we went in on a search for, hot chocolate that I had sampled a few years back at a Yelp event. In all fairness, its summer (see above weather update)....and who's drinking (or even thinking about) hot chocolate?! But they did not have it. But once inside and able to sample a bourbon ball for me and some milk chocolate pieces for my niece & nephew; we definitely indulged. My littles each had a milk chocolate slice of pizza, decorated to look like pizza with colored glittered toppings.  I also purchased a 4-pack of bourbon balls and two chocolate dipped, rolled in Oreo marshmallows for the family we left at home.   The store employee was helpful and polite.  Inside the store, you'll find an industrial-like, clean and welcoming space, with walls and tables filled with goodies.  The aroma of chocolate hits you and leaves you wanting more more more.  All the chocolates are well detailed with contents and prices.  I appreciate the chocolates being visually priced, especially with kiddos, as they seem to find the most expensive item in other stores leading for an awkward "no not today."   The actual chocolate is divine. As a 'non-bourbon' fan (shh, don't tell anyone), I really really enjoyed the bourbon balls. It was not overpowering with a perfect blend of dark chocolate and bourbon. The milk chocolate pizza slices were consumed by my niece & nephew to avoid the messy melt to our next stop.   My Tip:  Go to Art Edibles and indulge; with a cooler if in summer time. read more

Do you need a rad gift? Do you need a treat after surviving the Kentucky Science Center with your kids? You need to go to Art Eatables. It's one of my favorite Louisville businesses and the best chocolate in the city. What I love most is how passionate the people who work in the store are about their product. I thought the guys I talked to were the owners, because I heard them talking to customers in detail about how things are made and how they taste. But I found out it's woman-owned (which makes the place even better.) They have an impressive variety of bourbon truffles. I've had the Woodford Reserve; they were decadent. I was stoked to see Peerless Rye truffles and plan on going back for some. They also added, since I was there last, some truffles called caramel shots. I bought the bourbon sorghum variety; they were heavenly. There were all sorts of flavors; not just bourbon but other cocktails too. If you don't do booze, they have very intensely-flavored chocolates called Chimeres (I like the orange and mint), cookie butter drops, chocolate-covered orange peel, various items with nuts, and an enormous kids area called the Lollipoppery. My son got a rice crispy treat covered in chocolate and decorated like a Minecraft character. When you visit, they will treat you right and help you pick out the perfect items. They were incredibly kind and gracious with me when I came for an event. I just adore this place and plan on buying many Christmas gifts here! read more

Bourbon and chocolate go together like peas and carrots (Forrest Gump). Bourbon truffles are amazing. To my surprise, a tasting bar with chocolate pairing is an added delight, especially days the distilleries are closed. A MUST! read more

What a super fun place to visit! We stumbled upon it totally by happenstance. It was worth our purchases as well since we got to get some fun whiskey infused chocolates and cocktail mixer that we have already used up. It is an ode to whiskey and bourbon lovers located next to the Frazier Museum. The whole point to going to this area was to see the Frazier Museum, but it was closed at the time of our arrival. Needless to say, the visit was not a complete wash since we discovered Art Eatables. If you love fun souvenirs and alcohol alike, this is the place for you. read more

The staff here acted like they didn't want us there. We were the only people in the store. We were asking reasonable questions and we're met with short responses that barely answered our questions.

The only thing better than one Art Eatables location? Two Art Eatables locations! Art Eatables opened up a second location next to the Frazier History Museum -- the new official start of the Kentucky Bourbon Trail -- in the last year or so, and I enjoyed another opportunity to check it out over the weekend, while hanging out with family downtown. The reasons I love Art Eatables: * These aren't bourbon balls but bourbon truffles, meaning these are made with high quality chocolate. * These ain't your grandma's bourbon balls! There is so much expertise in these truffles. You can find truffles made with your bourbon of choice. And the bourbon is expertly balanced with the chocolate. You won't bite into these and shudder from the intense, overwhelming bourbon taste, but enjoy it immensely and crave some more. * Art Eatables also has non-alcoholic treats. The chimeres -- and especially the mint and pineapple chimeres -- are personal favorites. * There are so many other fun chocolate confections, like chocolate-covered Oreos, chocolate on a stick, chocolate-covered pretzels and more. * Art Eatables now makes modjeskas! Modjeskas are a traditional Louisville candy that wraps marshmallow in caramel. For Art Eatables' twist on the classic, they use flavored caramels (including Old Forester flavored caramel, I believe) to enrobe the marshmallows. * This shop also has other fun bourbon paraphernalia, like books and glasses, that you can buy. Art Eatables also supplied the bourbon truffles for my wedding. My husband and I were originally disappointed when we were told by our venue that we couldn't have a bourbon tasting (because that would count as "shots" and shots weren't allowed). So instead we went with a bourbon truffle tasting, featuring a few of our favorite spirits. Problem solved and deliciously solved, at that. Kelly and Forest and the entire Art Eatables team are always such a delight to chat with. I can't say enough great things about Art Eatables. If you are looking for a sweet treat for yourself or others, this is the place to go! read more

This was quite possibly the best part of my trip to Louisville. The owner and staff were more than welcoming and hospitable. I was able to try a sample and buy some treats of my own.

Do you like bourbon? Do you like chocolate? If you answered yes to both, then Art Eatables is the place for you! This place is a slice of Heaven! Immediately upon opening the door, the delicious aroma of bourbon and chocolate pleases the nose and it is uphill from there! There are bourbon truffles made with many different bourbons so there is something for everyone! There are also a variety of non-spirited chocolate items too. The staff are so knowledgeable about how each bourbon pairs with chocolate and the type of taste that will result when paired. If one is unsure which truffle/bourbon they would like most, there are sample boxes that contain several different types for purchase. There is a plethora of bourbon-themed merchandise too, including glassware, books, and more. I was particularly taken with the bourbon infused spices!! There is so much to choose from!

What to get: A Taste of the Trail assorted bourbon chocolates Service: 5/5 Atmosphere: specialty shop Parking: metered street parking (free after 6PM) The Experience: I came here for a chocolate and bourbon event through Yelp and I loved it so much that I came back to buy gifts for some clients. If you're unsure about the recipients' taste in bourbon, I'd recommend the assortment box called the Taste of the Trail. It's $20 for 8 specialty chocolates. What's wonderful is that they specially make these chocolates with specific bourbons, so they have a wide selection since we're located in the heart of bourbon country. Also if you're not well acquainted or love bourbon, chocolate is a great middle ground for most people. The type of bourbon really does dictate how strong it'll come through the chocolate, but Art Eatables crafts each chocolate differently to bring out certain notes. You can always ask the people in store and they'll guide you well. Oh, and if they have samples...try them! Can't say no to free chocolate! Oh, by the way, they were also mentioned by the Food Network. This place is kinda of a big deal and I only wish I knew about them earlier so I could have brought my previous visitors for souvenirs after going bourbon tasting. read more
