Maaaaan I have #introvertproblems. I was reluctant to go out to a private chocolate tasting with my…read moregirlfriends last week because I was drained of my social energy. But I went BECAUSE I'M A GOOD FRIEND!! Ahem :/ Anyway, the co-owner Tony, took me and my girls for a grownup ride through high level chocolate production and tasting. I felt like I learned a lot and sampled some fabulous chocolates. I'm not even a chocolate lover and I left with about 15 pieces. If you love to support local business and creative people and you wanna upgrade from Hershey's (though no shame bc I just housed a Mr. Goodbar), def give this place a try. Perfect for private events or daily drop-ins!

This was a little shop with lots of variety of house made solid chocolate. Carol was very…read moreaccommodating and helpful when deciding what to order. My thoughts on each item I had are below. Milk Chocolate Peanut Butter Meltaway ($2.25) - This was essentially a peanut butter cup. I thought it was just okay, lacked peanut butter flavor. Kokoleka 55% Single Origin Dark Mango Meltaway ($2.25) - This was similar to the peanut butter meltaway, but just with a mango flavor. I initially thought it was going to be a mango filling, but that was not the case. Regardless, it was pleasant and balanced well with the chocolate. Kokoleka Dark 55% Single Origin Banana Ganache Truffle ($1.20) - Again, I thought this was going to be filled with a banana filling, but it was not. This was probably my favorite. The chocolate was delicate, and the banana flavoring just enhanced that. Kokoleka Dark 55% Single Origin Cabernet Sauvignon Ganache ($1.40) - This was my least favorite. I just did not care for the wine taste here. Madagascar Chocolate 36% Single Origin Sea Salt Caramel ($1.60) - The caramel chocolate log was appetizing. I really enjoyed this type of chocolate. Dark Chocolate Infused with 30 mg. CBD Oil ($4.30) - This was just straight chocolate. It was refreshing and pleasant to have. Will I go back? I would.

My friend introduced me to this store when I was looking for some White Day chocolates, and I…read morewanted something more than just the conventional Ferrero Rocher chocolate box from the store. I was amazed by the care and service of this local business! The owner is a super sweet man who is always there to lend a helping hand with the chocolate recommendations if you are looking to buy a special present for someone. If you happen to be buying a selection of chocolate, maybe you will be lucky enough to sample one of their chocolates right there Their entrance is a side door off of Madison Ave. It is not labeled, but don't be afraid to give it a turn and go right in! You should hear a bell chime in the back when you head in, so if you don't, give the door another open to make sure they know they have a customer. Their Gianduja chocolate has such a lasting and aromatic hazelnut flavor, I definitely recommend getting a piece in the next box of chocolate you buy. They also have plenty of deals during different holidays in the year. I highly recommend Birnn Chocolate for any occasion, as a thank you gift or a just because gift for someone special. There are no chocolates that disappoint here!

Some of the candy is "older" and they are selling at a discount - but trust me the discount isn't much! It's fun to walk around the store and grab a sample. But believe me, no matter what delicious treats you take home, you will spend a lot of money! This isn't an candy store that I would go to on a regular basis, but it was fun to walk around. Plenty of parking, nice people and the sugar rush is a plus.

It's not the money because 10 cents is not going to break me, it's the idea. A rewards member that spends lots of money in the store could not be given a free bag. Then to add to my displeasure, the six candy apples I purchased did not fit in the bag and I had to carry one anyway.

I had the blueberry and it was coated _fresh_ blueberries. Not easy to find something like that! Service: 5/5. They were happy to describe the different flavors and willing to give out samples. Store: 3/5. A bit cramped inside - I understand they wanted to keep the purchase area separate from the confectioner's area, but a bit too much square footage set aside for them behind the counter. You'll be walking around quite a bit and you may have to go back and forth a bit to get a full sense of what's on offer. Combine the store ambiance with the incredibly high prices (we all agreed it's at least 20% higher than other gourmet chocolatiers) and I can't give it a fifth star. But the chocolate itself? And the wonderful people? I can't possibly go under 4 stars total.

I'm not a fan of cupcakes, but fell in love with the tres leches cupcake. The texture was so soft and the icing wasn't super sweet. I also loooooved the matcha bubble tea.

They took the time to explain to my mom and I how they make their cupcakes and gave us a little history of how their shop came to be. All in all, my mom and I had a delightful experience and will be coming here again!

At first they didn't know if they could put something together in time, but they were able to find a way to fit my order in. The boxes were finished ahead of schedule, look beautiful with a burgundy bow on them and were reasonably priced. Each box had four chocolates -- a caramel, cherry cordial and two creams. A few of my family members told me they taste great. They are super fresh too -- like an elevated version of what you'd get from Whitman's or Russell Stover. I'm really happy I decided to get my favors here.
