This chocolate shop in downtown Fort Collins was an impulse stop during a girls' afternoon, and it was a great choice! The staff are super helpful, but not pushy at all, and even though it was a bit crowded, they never seemed stressed or rushed. They make all their own chocolate, from the bean, and they have several great truffles and bars, in addition to fun tasting flights and some drinks. We did a single origin dark chocolate flight, and it was super fun to learn more about how the region can change the taste of the chocolate. We all purchased a few truffles to take home, and they were all delicious. I'd definitely return, and I recommend it for any chocoholic. read more

The flights are wonderful to try and explore different flavors. Pair that with a great coffee (or an amazing hot chocolate) and then relax and enjoy life.. The place is charming and the staff even more. A great experience, even with kids on tow. Highly recommended! read more

Aloha!! I just ate the most delicious chocolate on the planet. The Madagascar chocolate bar is notes of grapefruit and gland squirtingly yummy other high notes. It is a 70 percent bar that is so smooth and refreshing that it is almost not believable. The space is perfect and the experience we had learning about their process was neat. They are one of only a handful of shops in the country that make the chocolate they sell from scratch. It is fabulous!! Do yourself a favor and go spend a few bucks to blow your mind. Find your favorite single origin bar, their selection is ridiculously huge. Mahalo for the great experience. Thanks Coco!! Aloha!! read more

This place is for the true chocolate connoisseur. The quality is as high as any chocolatier in the world, including the high end places in Europe. I would happily go into a diabetic coma to commit multiple acts of gluttony here. The word "chocolate" is a word with a broad meaning just as the word "car" is. Are we talking about a 1991 Chevy Cavalier or an Aston Martin Vanquish? If you think Walmart sells good chocolate then you may not be ready for this place. read more

Real chocolate... I mean real chocolate made from beans. The combinations of the bars and the truffles... it is rare to find a chocolate shop with this kind of quality. We received an overview before entering to help my wife and I make informed choices about what kinds of chocolate we might want. The staff behind the counter knew everything about each truffle and bar... and upon arriving home my wife and I knew the education we received at the shop was worth it, because the choices we made delighted us. Too bad Nuance isn't open 24 hours... just in case we need emergency chocolate! read more

Wow! Amazing chocolate! The best! Would have this chocolate any day over Godiva. We saw this little place off the main street as we were walking to another restaurant and thought, hmm...chocolate, place looks cute, maybe we should try it. The next day we dropped by and when we walked in, it was the cutest little chocolate store! They had chocolate bars made from cacao from so many parts of the world! The lady who worked there took a lot of time explaining the origins of the cocoa beans and their characteristics. She also explained how they make the chocolate there a few blocks down the street. We bought two bars and two truffles. Wow! The chocolate was amazing! Velvety creamy ganache centers and with so much flavor! Since we visited during the covid pandemic, they politely and carefully limited the numbers of customers in the store at a time, helping to put us at ease. Also, which really meant so much to us, they had someone sitting outside the door, wiping the door handle as people came and went from their chocolate store. Wow! How considerate! They not only care about every detail of their product, but they care about their customers! We will travel back home, but they told us that they can ship the chocolate to our home in a container that will prevent it from melting. I already know what I'm giving out for little Christmas gifts this year! read more

This place is amazing!! I went in with three friends five minutes before closing (on 22 October), and the two staff members were so kind to us. They stayed open an extra 15 minutes to talk to us about the product and let us ask tons of questions. They were patient with us as we made our decisions, and we each purchased a truffle and/or a hot chocolate. I ordered a French Hot Chocolate, which, in the spectrum of HC, is between an "American" hot chocolate and the Italian sipping chocolate. The FHC has while milk vice heavy cream and half a bar of chocolate--I chose the 55% Ghana with vanilla. It was the perfect choice for me. I'll update my review after I eat my truffle (Hazelnut) and milk chocolate bar (Chantilly Cream). read more

Let me start by saying BRAVO!!!! Hands down the best chocolate I've had in my entire life. So much variety and unique flavors pared with one another. I especially loved how the two staff members there that morning were so friendly (Day of tour de fat). We stopped in before breakfast and gave our ooosss and ahhhhs and then let them know we'd be back with a clear head after some food. An hour later we were greeted with a, "welcome back, have you guys decided on chocolates?". Absolutely wonderful shop and I'll be buying all my friends and family back in Missouri chocolates for Christmas. Thank you for showing this city that real chocolate doesn't come with fillers :D -Tom read more

One of my favorite places in Fort Collins by far! Every time I'm in Old Town I go here!

Such a cool place! The prices aren't terrible either. I got a chocolate milk and it was delicious! I will definitely be coming back!

This is one of our go-to spots for taking guests. I always get the dipping chocolate (whatever dark or spicier version they have), and people love trying that thick rich chocolate. Crowd favorites are the variety of truffles which you can't go wrong with. I love the sea salt and the different pepper combinations. Great for gifts, but also fun just to sit and sip in a fun location. My partner prefers just the normal hot chocolate to the sipping chocolate, but I will only do the sipping. I've been looking for good sipping chocolate for years and couldn't find anything decent in LA, but Fort Collins has definitely surprised me!! read more

Went in and did a chocolate flight - $8 for two people, which was very reasonable and the chocolate was delicious! The staff was friendly and knowledgeable. We will be back :) read more

Excellent chocolate and even better service! Our group of four walked in right at closing on the 22nd of October and the two staff members (I wish I remembered their names!) not only welcomed us but took the time to explain the chocolates and drink options and then made us fabulous drinks and sent us on our way with truffles and chocolate bars! Will absolutely be back there when we return!!! read more

This place is fantastic for any chocolate lover. They offer single origin chocolate - I have never seen that before. The staff is friendly, knowledgeable and passionate about chocolate. We did the dark chocolate flight 1 and the samples were delicious. A flight for 2 people is very affordable. This would be a perfect spot for a date - affordable, classy, and easy topics of conversation. read more

This boutique chocolate bistro is a must visit destination in Fort Collins. The hot cocoa is the best we've ever had. Second time here in three days. Totally over going to Starbucks. This place rocks. read more

We're never disappointed. The truffles are always wonderful, and going for a tasting or a flight is a delight.

The owner was very nice and explained which chocolate my husband and I would prefer, and recommended a chocolate flight- it was amazing and fun to try such different chocolates. We left the store with 3 bars, and 2 truffles. This place is worth the visit if you love chocolate! read more

This place is awesome! Shop staff is very friendly and happy to walk you through a tour of their chocolate process. Also, they are one of few chocolatiers that make the chocolate themselves. Very cute shop and delicious treats. Try Theo's brew for a unique coffeesque chocolate drink! read more

me and my boyfriend's favorite place to get chocolate, truffles, and hot chocolate. I recommend doing the flights if it's your first time so you know what chocolate you like since they come from all over the world. perfect place for a cute date and the staff is very friendly! read more

They have a great selection and very knowledgeable staff. The three times I've come in, the person helping me has gone above and beyond to explain the flavors in each variety of chocolate that they offer. They definitely cater to the customer and try to recommend items based on their likes and dislikes. read more

Instead of getting a birthday cake, I just wanted a bit of chocolate and we finally get to Nuance after a long drive on my Birthday and are told they do nothing for birthdays. That was really disappointing, especially as the worker went to throw a piece out that fell on its side in the case. We paid $14 for 4 pieces and you couldn't do anything for a birthday ? Simply will not return because of this...It's not like I expected something big! Other companies give coupons or samples or at least something ! read more

This is one of my favorite chocolate stores in the USA. Very knowledgeable and friendly service, and phenomenal chocolate choices. They offer several 'taster chocolate' choices of 1-origin and milk and white chocolate--2 large pieces of 5 kinds of chocolate with palate-cleansing crackers and water for$7--a fantastic deal. Very highly recommend read more

What a great chocolate shop! I took my parents here last week. They were out here visiting from Wisconsin. The chocolate is fabulous and so is the customer service. Will definitely return to Nuance Chocolate in the future! A++ read more

Cute little shop, I had the coconut chocolate, which was so good.. :) My hubby and his mom had the taster tray, the liked it. Oh, also had the hot chocolate, the best one is the Aztec. Would go back when in town. :) read more

Where do I start? The service- incredible. They really know their chocolate and are proud to share their wealth of knowledge! The chocolate- so delicious. Creamy, smooth and delightful. We've tried flights, the hot chocolate and the truffles. Honestly, can't pick a favorite. Depends on what you're in the mood for. My only critique is that the bars are small for the price but it's a bean to bar place and you pay for the quality and freshness so it's worth it. Definitely stop in if you're looking for amazing chocolate and wonderful service! read more

I love this place! I'm glad Fort Collins has its own chocolate shop, and the "bean to bar" concept is perfect. I love the staff and highly recommend the French-style hot chocolate. The flights are all wonderful, as well. It's such a great experience and darling atmosphere. Great date place and a must-see for out-of-town visitors! read more

A friend of mine and I came here at the end of a long day of shopping. Exhausted and with at least 3 more places to go on the other side of Fort Collins, neither of us were up for the tasting tray, which I think disappointed the guy who waited on us. However, he was very nice. I would love to try it next time I'm in town and their beverages. I love the concept of this place. They do their own chocolate in-house. I was assured I would not be leaving with the run of the mill chocolate from a candy store. I did get four truffles: chili, raspberry, peanut butter, and coconut. The chocolate is rich, but not overly sweet. The flavors are authentic without being overpowering. The chili truffle was spicy!!!! I loved it. It's on the pricier side. It's not gourmet chocolate . . . it's craft chocolate. It is worth every penny. I will be back. I will sample all of it. read more

Great experience. Not for the Mars candies crowd. Got a great education on chocolate and enjoyed a 5 flavor flight. We had no idea chocolate had so many nuances. Will go back. read more

Do you want to EXPERIENCE your chocolate? OMG - the person who served us was quite knowledgeable and offered many suggestions. I also appreciated that he asked if we wanted the abbreviated version or the full on explanation, given my stepson had been in there previously. We all whole-heartedly agreed to tell us everything! I am vegan, so to find a vegan hot chocolate experience, I was in heaven! If I lived in Fort Collins, I would likely go there 3 - 5 times a week! read more

My husband and I had just finished the New Belgium Brewery tour and were simply looking for coffee. After seeing great reviews for Nuance we decided to check it out. We had not only fantastic coffee but also an amazing chocolate tasting experience! We could tell the person who helped us (maybe the owner?) knows everything there is to know about chocolate yet he could simplify it for an average person. We asked a lot of questions about flavors and decided on one of the single origin flights. We had a lot of fun discussing our opinions on each piece and after an amazing truffle each (dark chocolate sea salt and red chili) we enjoyed our coffee leisurely at their front table. We will definitely be back on a return trip to Fort Collins. read more

LOVE this local chocolate maker! Owner Toby is so helpful and interesting to talk to about the science of making chocolate. We had their single origin flight and is was eye opening to taste the different chocolates back to back. Awesome ambiance too! Highly recommend read more

Amazing!!! If you love chocolate you need to visit this informative, delicious and classy chocolate shop. All chocolate is made from scratch in FC with fair trade beans from 22 countries. Incredible experience! I will be back! read more

Amazing chocolate! The employees were incredibly knowledgeable about the types of beans used and the chocolate bar creation! We tried their flight of chocolate. Yum! We walked out with a couple bars of the best dark chocolate! read more

An awesome place to stop. They have craft chocolate that is hard to get anywhere else. They have more than 30 kinds of chocolates, and you can take a chocolate flight to try some of them. read more

Wonderful company and staff. Bought a selection of chocolate samples for gifts. Delicious. read more

Their chocolate is the best, to die-for, amazing! Definitely worth the price, whether or not you are chocolate snob. Make sure to try their sipping chocolate and a truffle while you're there, then bring home some bars and cocoa powder for future desserts. read more

The chocolate tastings are real cool. The staff is incredibly knowledgeable and friendly and you'll have a much better idea of what to buy after a tasting. Treat yo self! read more

Fine gourmet chocolate at its best. These local choloateters have finely crafted their art. They use only the finest fermented cocoa beans then make their own chocolate. No processed grocery store chocolate here. The truffles are velvety smooth, full of rich flavor (Recommend the rasberry) actually try them all once till you find your favorite. An abosultue must is the sipping chocolate. It is an experience to be savored. read more

I had never heard of a flight of chocolate but Nuance delivered a beautiful tray with six different chocolates on them for tasting. Served with crackers and water to eat between each chocolate sample. Seating available in a quaint little shop with a very knowledgeable server. No preservatives in any of their products. Awesome chocolate. read more
