Upon entering, we were cordially received by a helpful lady who gladly offered us samples of their delectable gelato flavors. After some deliberation, I opted for a small cup of peanut butter chocolate mixed with hazelnut gelato that was both sweet and satisfying, and we thoroughly enjoyed every bite while relaxing in the charming atmosphere outside. There were also so many different categories of treats from popcorn, to hand dipped to assortments milk chocolate, dark chocolate, white, chocolate, and baskets full of goodies. Definitely a return visit in the near future.

But not too pushy so you can browse through all of the marvelous products. On my last visit I was purchasing some Christmas gifts. And of course I had to buy something for myself LOL. But I was surprised to find sugar free chocolate. I purchased two products because I was curious. I tried the peppermint patties and the chocolate-covered caramel. Both were made with dark chocolate and both were fabulous! I purchased a few chocolate bombs for my friends and they loved them. You can find a variety of items here that you can't find in a grocery or drug store. Plus all of chocolate is made in house. I also sampled a few ice cream flavors and they were yummy. The ice cream is made specifically for Peterbrooke in Jacksonville. Stop by and check out the newest chocolatier in town!

Five stars doesn't even come close to describing this wonderful bakery experience…read more I am from a large family who love to gather over food and fun. The first time we had a cake from Creme de la Cocoa, it was lemon blueberry for my Mom's birthday. From then on, "good enough" wouldn't do. The cakes from this boutique bakery are exquisite works of art that taste absolutely divine. We've had vanilla cake with white chocolate between the layers and fresh strawberries for Easter, exquisitely decorated with whipped cream frosting and fresh spring flowers, a birthday cake for my mother that said HAPPY BIRTHDAY HURRICANE PEGGY with a hurricane and warning markers bc her birthday is the first day of hurricane season that was Florida Native, featuring summer fruits and orange zest in the frosting, and the latest for Labor Day that will be a classic carrot cake with cream cheese frosting and Fall decor that will say HAPPY FALL, Y'ALL! We've had their French macarons in every color and flavor, their charcuterie box for my husband's birthday which featured sweets of every kind in white and dark chocolate, and their homemade cinnamon rolls for breakfast. All were exceptional tasting and beautiful in their artistry. Creme de la Cocoa is where perfection in design and flavor are an every day adventure. And the customer comes second only to the quality of their decadent delights.

During that initial stay, I walked here a couple of times to pick up treats and they didn't disappoint. Since then it has become a go-to when we have guests visiting and want to have dessert on hand. It is a pretty interior space with desserts and treats galore. They are beautifully made and a treat for all your senses. The staff on my visits have always been so friendly and helpful. (I love the southern hospitality we experience at so many places in St. Augustine.) My favorite treat may just be the cannoli. They are smaller sized than what I am used to back home...but this is good thing! in my opinion. There are an assortment of chocolates, brownies, cookies, some candies, croissants...and a variety of cakes and pies. We are not huge sweets eaters but this place is hard to resist.

They have a wall of shelves with chocolate's arrangements for any ocassion, and they really thought of all of them, creating beautiful, elegants art-baskets or boxes for every excuse you have to celebrate with chocolate. The people here are very professional and kind, and also they offer another alternative cure for sadness, a great gelato, mango and banana praline were my healing session today.

I don't remember the name of the one I went with, but I know you could pick up spice level from 1 to 6. I picked four and it wasn't that spicy for me. It was a healthy portion of chickens and vegetables cooked perfectly and a huge side of white. I'm going to assume basmati rice. It was $24 but it was enough for a meal and a half - ish (more if you eat all the rice) I just wish they served some type of bread along with the meal no extra charge

We ordered the brookie, raspberry toaster tart, cookies n creme, and parent trap. All were very tasty. My favorites were the cookies n creme and parent trap. I cut each cookie into 4 pieces and froze the leftovers. We enjoyed them over the next several weeks. They are definitely sugary sweet and might not be for everyone but we enjoyed them. If given the chance, I would pay them another visit.

We all love cookies. But super-stuffed cookies brings cookies to another level and that's where…read moreDirty Dough comes in. Dirty Dough is less than a week new located inside Durbin Pavilion in Saint Johns county. They opened shop on Wednesday; Juneteenth (June 19th), specializing in stuffed cookies. Walking inside slaps your nostrils of the aroma of freshly baked cookies. And despite being days new, the staff were nice and attentive. Looking at the menu, we went with the 4-Box Sampler, which is Caramelita, Stuffed Chocolate Chip, Cookies n Creme and The Reverse. But, I was actually feening for a milkshake which they happen to have. My eyes were drawn to their Dirty Shake, which gives you the ice cream choice option of Vanilla or Chocolate base layer. Also you have a cookie of choice that gets blended into the shake. My shake consisted of chocolate ice cream blended with stuffed chocolate chip. The shake was $5.99 total. If you give it a thought, a single cookie cost $4.55 each. So basically the shake cost $1.44 before a cookie is added. Winner, winner... yes I had a milkshake as my dinner. What I like is the shake was not overly sweet. "Their Milkshakes brought this Yelper to their yard" #IYKYK I just found a new favorite cookie/dessert place. And stay tuned folks, their Dirty Sodas as well as Coffees will also be available soon.
