They had moved from Town and Country Center. I'm glad they were on "Good Day" so we could find their almost hidden store on Loma Vista. I've never had truffles this great. We picked out 10 different truffles and brought them home to enjoy. Each truffle is large enough to share. The flavored ganache is perfect, not too sweet, just creamy. I really liked the cherry and raspberry truffles the best, but then we didn't get all of the flavors. The bag of Raspberry Bark didn't last very long, either. They use fresh raspberry purée on the thin chocolate bark. Delicious! We will definitely be going back soon. read more

Favorite chocolate is the dark salted caramel of course. Everything is delicious and the owners were very helpful.

Capital Confections is amazing and has been for many many years! The best chocolate in town! The quality and presentation are amazing. I highly recommend!! read more

Last year I tried Le Grand Confectionery for my annual Christmas sweets (previous years include Candy House of Davis) and decided to try Capital Confections this year. Ginger Elizabeth's and Andy's Apothecary are very good too for the Sacramento area, and Kobasic's also makes the top lists of Sweet Treats, but CC won out for 2015. Placed an online order for the 4-piece ($11) and 9-piece ($24.50) assorted chocolate flavor truffle boxes for pickup at the store (instead of paying for shipping). The store is really cute, located in Town & Country Village at the corner of Fulton and Marconi. Parking wasn't too bad, with 20-minute spaces right alongside. Yelp check-in gets you a truffle and small gelato for $5, there's also a $20 for $25 Yelp Deal. The lady behind the counter, Teresa, was quick to help me with my order. There may be some trouble with the online ordering system but hopefully that gets fixed soon. The boxes are very nice, lids have "windows" to see the truffles -- I had asked for green ribbon when placing the order but got Christmasy red/gold/green ribbon instead which is fine. Those truffles are massive! If I had more time to peruse the store, and the weather wasn't so wintry, I'd go for some gelato. read more

Capital Confections - Chocolatiers & Shops Near Me

This is based on one visit. I won't be back for a second. It's not that my first visit was bad but that there is no reason to go back; there are much better options nearby. The service was wasn't unfriendly but it wasn't friendly either. I didn't feel any sense of a welcome. It felt like I was just one customer in a parade of customers , even though I was the only one in the shop. The confections that we tried were good. I wish I could recommend this shop especially because it appears to be a locally owned business but the truth is there is no reason other than convenience. read more

This adorable candy store is my go to for gifts! They consistently offer quality chocolate candies and gelato. Many of their treats are made on site and they have been able to make personalized gifts for my family... including a dark chocolate turkey with my Grandfathers name on it. The family got a kick out of that last year and it made a great centerpiece for our table. I would and have recommended this place to many friends and family as a great store with locally made chocolates and a great staff that always offers quick assistance and friendly conversation. read more

So many great sweet treats here. My wife and I love to treat ourselves with these tasty offerings. We especially enjoy their gelato during hot Sacramento days. read more

This is my first review on yelp. I was so impressed it was worth the effort. I've recently started shopping at Trader Joes in the Town and Country plaza. I've driven by this shop a few times. It is tucked away with unassuming signage, which is the only negative. I needed a host gift so I bought dessert wine a TJ and went in for chocolate. I had a budget and wanted truffles. The owner (?) helped me, not only selecting the right truffles to go with wine, but I had limited budget that she worked with. I believe she gave me a $50 box if truffles for $35. The packaging was classy with a personalized ribbon selection. There was gelato and other chocolates and lots of great gift ideas. The truffles were so decadent and amazing! I am so happy with the service and the product. I've sampled Ginger Elizabeth and this is just as delicious! I am bummed about location because I think it might be causing problem with business. If they had a midtown location like Ginger Elizabeth they will get more foot traffic. I love feeling like I found a gem but I want this business to thrive. If you are a Trader Joe shopper take some time to sample the chocolate or gelato here and tell a friend! read more

After a particularly satisfying late lunch with my boyfriend, I really wanted dessert, so we used my trusty Yelp app and found this highly-rated shop. The success kid meme literally represented my reaction when I discovered that this shop sold gelato AND truffles AND had a Yelp Deal going on! Because this shop is located in/next to a shopping plaza, we had a difficult time finding the shop but ended up asking directions from trusty Trader Joes employees and found out that it's actually at the opposite end from the Trader Joes/Starbucks at the intersection. Then we stepped into chocolate heaven. While I definitely would not have purchased the gelato ($5 for a medium, which looked like a 8 or 10 oz serving? and slightly too much at regular price) at normal price, I did enjoy the Spumoni very much. It tasted like a perfectly smooth, creamy, and flavorful concoction of chocolate covered cherries, even though we had to hustle to finish it before it melted in warm Sacramento temperatures. Their display of the chocolates was pretty impressive and definitely rivals that of franchised chocolate companies such as Ghiradelli, Godiva, or Sees. In fact, after seeing and tasting the truffles here, I can confidently say that I like what I had more than I like chocolate at Godiva or Sees (my usual go-to places when the chocolate cravings hit). The truffles are nearly twice the size/volume of the Godiva/Sees chocolates, the ganache actually taste smoother and creamier, and the truffle itself was at a perfect sweetness for me - so satisfying! We ended up going over the Yelp Deal value, which was definitely fine with me because the nice lady at the counter actually let me know when I was approaching $10. Overall, their prices are high for myself personally but are reasonable for "gourmet" options. I was more than happy with the service and quality of their products and so I will be back again for their truffles if I am in the area or interested in purchasing chocolate for special events. read more

Great handmade chocolate! We received an exceptionally nice gift of a couple dozen of these tasty truffles from a client and everyone in the office was so impressed with them! The way that the chocolate truffles were packaged was ten times nicer than just giving a plain box of chocolates, it was really fun unwrapping everything! (See picture) The chocolates looked really fancy and expensive which was impressive! Our assortment came with a lot of dark chocolate truffles which was nice, but it would have been nicer to have more of a variety. Maybe it was just the assortment we had, but we didn't have many fruit truffles, bordeaux truffles, etc but they were good anyways! I would come back here to support a great local business and to pick up gifts for friends! read more

Capital Confections - Fancy Chocolate Truffle Holiday Gift Dish - Chocolatiers & Shops Near Me

Cute as can be and the owners are very nice. In historic Town & Country Village near The Paper Garden and close to Trader Joe's so it's dangerously convenient! (I should have saved the chocolate pastel mints and chocolate cherries I bought so I could add a photo. I said it was dangerous!) I just found out that they also do birthday parties and tours - the guests get to dip their own chocolate in the 'factory.' (They make their own chocolate on site.) Great for younger kids but it's also an idea for a Sweet 16 party! (Heck, it would be great for any age birthday party!) I believe it is $20 per person (must have 10 people) for 2 hours and includes a bag of chocolate candy to take home. read more

When planning my mother's 90th birthday party I turned to Yelp to find the perfect chocolate truffle to give as a party favor. I selected Capital Confections, and that was one of the best decisions that I made for this special occasion. I met with the owner, Teresa, and after trying several flavors of delectable truffles, I chose the Grand Marnier truffle. This truffle is the perfect balance of orange liqueur and delectable dark chocolate. Capital Confections' truffles are hand-rolled, and for my taste, are superior to the dome-shaped waxy truffles that I have received as Valentine's Day and anniversary gifts. Sorry honey! I used hydrangeas as the theme of mother's party, and wanted the favors to enhance the table decorations. Teresa's creations surpassed my expectations! She suggested the perfect plum colored boxes, and selected just the right coordinating ribbons. The addition of hydrangea blossoms to the tops of the boxes completed the elegant perfection. Not only was each favor a thing of beauty, but the party guests remarked that they had never eaten more scrumptious truffles. Teresa was a pleasure to work with! Even though our birthday celebration was small, I felt that Teresa gave me as much attention as she would have given someone planning a large wedding. Teresa and Capital Confections' delicious truffles helped to make my mother's 90th birthday a memorable occasion. read more

Capital Confections - Best dark chocolate truffles, ever!!! - Chocolatiers & Shops Near Me

Excellent customer service. Called 10 mins before they closed and placed an order for pick up. The woman working went above and beyond to accommodate my request. She made a box of my requested flavours and added a birthday ribbon as a special touch. Everything looked delicious and I ended up buying a few small extras. So glad I stopped in and I would definitely recommend them. read more

I've been wanting to try the chocolates at this specialty shop, especially since they offer a Yelp Check-in deal. There are so many delicious-looking items that it's easy to just stand there and stare at each and every one of the candies. Fortunately, for me, the staff pointed out the items most popular, her personal favorites, and those candies containing the ingredients I announced that I enjoy. I had to limit myself to a select few, and after my transaction was complete I was given a free sample of the delicious gelato. Wow! There's Spumoni - my favorite! All of the products available at this specialty store are made with the finest ingredients. It's like a boutique chocolate shop! And, each item highlights the actual flavor of the chocolate while minimizing sugar in the product. The end result is a high end, delicious tasting, chocolate. Enjoy! I'm sure you will return for more! read more

This is a really nice neighborhood chocolate, truffle and gelato shop. I've been a customer for some time. The truffles are made right there (I recommend the "decadence truffles," my favorite). They also have sugar-free truffles. Try the spumoni gelato (it's great). And the staff appreciate our business, which is always nice. read more

The owner Craig and Teresa live next door to my Mom. So now that the full disclosure is out of the way here is my review: Craig and crew hand dip all the truffles. So yummy! My favorites are champagne, egg nog and dark chocolate. Teresa and crew make all the super cute gift baskets. Check out the basket made of chocolate filled with truffles. Yes you read it right- a basket MADE of chocolate FILLED with chocolate! It is guaranteed to make you the superhero in your favorite chocoholic's life. Also worth noting they carry a very large selection of sugar free candies for diabetic people. read more

We were out shopping and decided to stop here for a gelato break. Apparently we had come on a bad day which was a Thurs., the day before their next gelato shipment delivery. Most of their gelato was down to the bare bottom of the containers. They offer 8 varieties but we could only select from 4 flavors. I was in the mood for something fruity, so my only choice was strawberry. The gelato was OK, but tasted pretty much like strawberry ice cream with the same consistency. You get a decent scoopful that was worth the money when compared to other gelato places. But I was still disappointed that I couldn't try some of the other flavor options. It is a cute candy shop but seemed a bit pricey for most of their chocolate selections. Although one can understand that times are hard and I can only imagine selling sweets for a living and trying to make ends meet! I had my eye on the dark chocolate truffles, but forced myself to turn away for fear of over extending my fat and calorie quota for the day! read more

Yummy and beautiful chocolates! Located in the Town & Country shppping center at Fulton & Marconi. They even do classes here..that could be fun read more

Gelato! Came in in a warm day randomly seeing the gelato sign, and this place smelled amazing, all the chocolates! We were greeted by a super friendly and helpful lady. I tried most of the gelato flavors, and the honey lavender was heavenly, creamy with the right amount of sweetness! They have a special nutty flavor that is also a must try. We decided against buying any choclates but we were generously offered a shared truffle sample, it was such chocolatey creamyness! Overall great experience, the price and quality was also well worth it. I would definitely come back! read more

The best chocolates in Sacramento. Period. No Joke. This guy makes chocolate everything, and chocolate dipped everything. And its all the best ive ever had. In particular his truffles are amazing. He has a wide variety of truffles all made by hand. The gelato is excellent, but i go in particular for his peanut butter cups. Real skippy peanut butter in dark chocolate. Man those are good, you don't even know, unless you've had them. They are friendly, their prices are very reasonable for the top notch quality you get, and they can even do custom orders for chocolate dipped anything. Seriously i cant drive by this place without stopping and getting something. He also does chocolate machine rentals for parties, or you can book his kitchen for a chocolate dipping event with a group. occasionally he does classes too. Do it soon though, i hear he plans to retire soon. I know i for one will lament the day he closes shop. Valentines day coming up? you cant lose with chocolates from this place. read more

Overall Feel: 4/5 Cost: $$ Value (worth the $): 5/5 Food: N/A Service: 5/5 I went to the shoppe for a gelato on a hot day after yelping high-rated gelato places. To update since several previous reviews stated the store was low on the flavors, yesterday they had all 8 flavors in stock. I tried the mint chocolate (with mini chocolate chips) that was fabulous (the mint was vibrant, but did not overpower the chocolate). I ended up getting the espresso gelato. The flavor was superb. The first reason I'm giving it 4 stars is the espresso gelato was slightly grainy--the other flavors I tried were not, so perhaps it was just that one batch that was less creamy than usual. The second reason for 4 stars is that there are no tables inside which is perfect for summer weather only. However, I definitely recommend this place and will be back to try the chocolates. read more

In 1998 we used these guys for our wedding favors and everyone raved about them. We came in for a class last week for my wife's birthday and also totally loved it. Craig is a true master of his craft. We left with a ton to tasty treats and got an unexpected world class education on chocolates. Highly recommend it!! The team was really accommodating and helped us rely learn the skill. I don't we deserved getting a job offer or anything... But our truffles looked decent and tasted unbelievable. Thanks guys. AWESOME! read more

Capital Confections - Awesome Class - Chocolatiers & Shops Near Me

The place is quaint. The owner wasnt very friendly when we walked in. I looked around and saw the gelato which didn't look very appetizing. Bought my grandson a cute Halloween chocolate box. My sister and i wanted a piece of the toffee candy. We asked for two pieces. We left and took a bite. They ought to be ashamed of themselves. It tasted horrible. It was so stale!!! I don't know how long it had been sitting there, but to brag about everything being hand made.. It was just awful... I hope my grandsons item is at least edible. I always saw the shop and have never had the time to go in. I guess something was telling me not to. I would never go in there again.. To sell stale candy at a candy store is just not right. read more

This business has a wonderful reputation already and most people know that the candies and truffles are amazing. Craig and Teresa are so talented in making these goodies! I live in Folsom and it's worth the drive :) My friends and I took a class last week with them and had such a wonderful time! We made truffles and Craig was a enjoyable instructor and Teresa very warm and sweet! I cannot recommend this couple and their business enough!! read more

Delicious gelato! I always stop in here to get a scoop of gelato. ESPECIALLY during fall when they have pumpkin gelato! They also have TONS of chocolate assortments. These are great either for yourself or for gifts for other people. read more

I'm not much of a chocolate fan, buying for a friend, but walking into this place just made me want to buy chocolate. Smells amazing. Found it off Yelp, mom & pop store, very friendly, she cut up one truffle for me to try as I told her I'd never been there before and only used Yelp to find her, savvy businesswoman if you ask me. And it was ridiculously good. A+. read more

This place is the best and the dark chocolate covered Oreos are to die for. I even called a day before to see if they would be open while I was in town and they did 1h before the normal open time. Thanks guys my wife and I love you. read more

Capital Confections is first on my list for gifts, a sweet treat for me, and a fun place to go with friends for delicious chocolate. The owners and employees are always friendly and helpful. In addition to yummy treats, the presentation is delightful. Teresa's cute little bows on a box of Craig's truffles makes a perfect gift! LOVE this Sacramento local business. read more

My friend and I randomly stumbled across this shop today which just so happened to be Halloween! This place is super cute and festive inside, they have many different treats to choose from. Everything is packaged perfectly & very organized. The chocolates are so detailed, you can tell a lot of time and care was put into making them. The owner is extremely sweet and chatted with us as we shopped around. I purchased a few chocolate ghosts for my colleagues and my friend got a Halloween goodie bag, the owner was kind enough to give us a chocolate ghost on the house which was much appreciated! The customer service here is great and I will most definitely be back around the holiday season to pick up more gifts. read more

Lovely shop that always smells incredible. I am a HUGE fan of their truffles but have tried their chocolate covered dried fruits and nuts as well. Plus during the summer, their GELATO is a cold, sweet treat! Highly recommend for beautiful gifts as well as treats for yourself! Life's too short NOT to indulge every now and again! read more

I come here EVERY YEAR for the holidays. Absolutely outstanding chocolates for a good price. It's very obvious from the quality that they truly care about making and providing fantastic chocolate. They have reasonable and competitive prices, a wide variety of chocolate, and wonderful staff. AND a huge reason I shop here is their variety of sugar free chocolate. They are a hit every year for my family members that cannot eat sugar. They always can't believe they're sugar free because of how great they taste. The service is amazing and they are always super helpful. This place is honestly a gem in Sacramento! Can't say enough how impressed I always am when I shop here. read more

The lady who took my order at Capital Confections looked at me from head to toe and told me she was displeased that I was using a reusable shopping bag from "Walmart " to carry out her precious "high end" chocolates and was reluctant to place them in the bag. I told her I'm saving our planet by reusing a shopping bag and it should not matter what kind of shopping bag I use. I was offended and she also told me I cannot use multiple coupons from yelp at the same day. Nevertheless she pretty much made sure I did not get back there at all since she already judged that I cannot afford to pay for her chocolates because they are so "high end expensive". Maybe Walmart shoppers are not welcome in her store at all. read more

Both my wife and I have been picking up our Truffles here for years! Their confections, made in house are excellent, and they have several other chocolates as well. They have always gone above and beyond when I ask them for "special" items, for special occasions. My wife and I have a tradition, of sharing one chocolate before bed and the large truffles they have make this a great treat! read more

OMG CHOCOLATE get in my belly! Good stuff...like little jewels of chocolatey goodness. I got a box stuffed with one of each and there were still more to try. Tasted fresh and handmade, too. So why go to See's when you can buy some unique chocolates for about the same price? So why did I eat a one-pound box in one sitting? I did have help, though. No judging, please. read more
