The truffles are delicious! And incredibly (truly hard to believe) are both vegan and gluten-free! I honestly couldn't tell. I asked how long they last and was told "Best fresh within 3 weeks. Keeping them in fridge will prolong freshness as well. The truffles will be good for months if no nut butters are added, texture will only begin to be compromised." Great customer service from a local small biz. Both boxes have beautiful wrappers and would make such a nice gift if I didn't eat them all already :)

We purchased Zak's chocolates as part of a holiday gift. The online purchase and in-store pickup…read morewas seamless. I appreciated the prompt communication from the business when I requested pickup a bit early. I wasn't able to make it during their business hours, but let them know a courier would arrive to do so on my behalf. They immediately let me know when the order was picked up, and even sent a nice thank you. The chocolates themselves were beautiful. We purchased a larger assortment, and I loved the creative flavor options and wide variety of flavors to fit every palate. Our gift recipients gave them rave reviews. Supporting a local artisanal maker is worth the additional cost to me, and knowing the assortment was something that couldn't be found in a Godiva box made it all the more special & unique. We will absolutely be back as these chocolates make unique and delicious gifts.

They are better than most chocolates I buy in Beverly Hills. I'm so happy Zak makes such high quality chocolates. This was the highlight of my trip.

We ordered the tiramisu and enjoyed it at one of the cozy tables inside. The staff kindly brought it out to us, which made the experience feel relaxed and welcoming. The only reason I'm giving four stars instead of five is that they don't serve coffee, even though some Google reviews suggested they did. I was really looking forward to pairing a cup with my cake. It's not a huge issue since most people are coming in here for the ice cream and chocolates. Neat place to pick up a gift--they have chocolate that says Fountain Hills!

I've seen their chocolate strawberry cups on Yelp and social media and they look amazing! We were greeted when we got to the counter. The space is laid back with plenty of seating indoor and out. I ordered the Dubai chocolate covered strawberries and the staff asked me which kind of chocolate I wanted with it. I asked for her recommendation and she suggested dark chocolate. I went with that and it was delish! It wasn't too sweet. My husband and I shared the big cup, but could have easily devoured a cup each!

They have tours and so many different candies to try and great gifts for the sweets lovers in your life. One thing that my minis are a fan of are the "make your own chocolate" so you can create custom treats. The chocolate is delicious and you get a decent selection of options to include for your custom treats. It's fun to do on a random day if you're trying to find things to do as a family or it'd be a cute day date tbh. Would I come back? Yes, always.

Tickets were only $7 for the tour and if you wanted to add on a chocolate VIP activity, it's around $16. The 1 hr tour took place in the large factory room and our group stood in a space right in front. We were brought to different sections while being taught about their candy manufacturing and process. Loved our tour guide, she was very animated and passionate about Cerreta's candies. We also got to try different popular treats at each station. I was impressed with their life-sized Santa Claus mold and this enormous football chocolate they made for a NFL game. They mainly produce flavored taffy, caramel and assorted chocolates. My kiddo was looking around for sour candy and gummies, but this isn't necessarily the spot for the non-chocolate candy lovers. He did enjoy making his VIP activity which was a pizza kit. They pour liquid chocolate into the pizza mold and he was able to place various ingredients in it (pretzels, marshmallow, m&ms, white syrup, etc). We also were allowed one free chocolate at the store! We had a great time and bought a bunch of various tasty treats including a chocolate cockroach, lol it was fake of course!

To be fair, the employee gave me a warning that they use ceremonial matcha which is much stronger and asked me if I wanted to change it out for a more typical matcha powder they use for other drinks. I've had great ceremonial matcha before so I didn't think it would be a problem but for some reason I felt like my drink tasted so odd. I got their spanner matcha which was described to be salted maple flavoring. I'm not sure if it was the matcha or the maple but it had a weird aftertaste that I can seem to describe it other than an expired taste. Because the employee gave me a warning before I would go back and try something else in hopes of a better experience.
