Cute little spot in downtown Bellingham. The staff was friendly and welcoming and took time to explain the flavors. They have such a good variety of chocolates and very reasonably priced. They were delicious and you can really tell there was care poured into each one. My favorite was definitely the turtle! read more

Amazing selection, kind shopkeeper, and delicious provisions. Would absolutely recommend and will gladly return. Thank you so much!

To get the only negative out of the way, this spot hurt my Canadian bank account a little bit. However, this tiny little shop was such a pleasant stop during our walk through town. Not only is it cute inside and out, the sweets are laid out beautifully and the customer service was spot on! I mean that whole heartedly, the man working was so patient with our indecisiveness and helpful with all our questions. They have unique chocolates and truffles such as root beer, cheesecake and tiramisu. My favourites however, were the Czech toffee and gooey homemade pecan turtles! read more

Came in here after seeing the storefront. Fudge and toffee are their bread and butter. Mom and pop shop for ocer 30 years. Inside was decor in a experience of itself. Server was friendly and was personable. read more

How is it possible that there isn't already a review about this delicious candy shop? My only conclusion is that everyone is too busy stuffing their face with Sweet Art's delicious chocolates to come up for air long enough to do anything else. Sweet Art is owned by a lovely Bellingham couple. He makes candy. She paints pictures. And boy howdy, is his candy is good. Last weekend I found myself outside the shop around 5 PM on Saturday. They close at 4 so I was pretty bummed out. Then my friend noticed he was still inside, so I pressed my face up against the glass in the hopes that he would take pity and let me inside. He did! After the free samples, I bought a huge hunk of the best fudge you've ever tasted, a gigantic dark chocolate truffle and something called a rootbeer float. That rootbeer float white chocolate truffle blew my mind. So creamy and scrumptious. So delectable and divine. A real life Willy Wonka. I felt a bit like Veruca Salt. Don't come here for pretty packaging of the deliciousness. It's adequate with a simple, plain white box. There's no ribbon or fancy paper. No special gift tags or wrapping paper. It really is all about the candy. This can be a great gift to give someone but don't expect the packaging to wow anyone. The wows get saved for the flavor. Every time I visit Bellingham I try to make it to this shop. Of course, a lot of times I end up standing outside making a puppy dog face and miserable because they're closed and no one's there to let me in. So, make a note! They're only open 11-4 on Saturday and closed on Sunday. Next time I make it there, I'm buying some of that chocolate drenched homemade honeycomb I spied in a giant jar on my way out. I can't wait to go back. read more

Sweet Art - YUM. They're so big and coming to a grand total of $13. - Candy Stores Near Me - Bellingham, Washington

I've been meaning to go here for quite awhile but never managed to be there during open hours. Right now I'm on a limited ingredient diet and I was craving something sweet. I was tired if bitter dark chocolate but knew my options were going to be limited. What I was not expecting was how incredibly helpful the woman behind the counter was. She went out of her way to make sure there was nothing in the items we chose that were on my off limits list. The chocolate itself was average, but we will be back just bc she was so awesome. read more

It is a tiny little hole in the wall ... but the biggest taste of chocolate anywhere that we've been to in Bellingham. They had Salty Dog Confections, Sugars skulls, and a Czech chocolate and nuts confection that was handed down from the owner's grandmother. Huge Turtles. There is a lot of beautiful artwork that the owner's wife has painted. They are all for sale. The owner takes pride in hand-making his chocolates and his confections. He said that even though he is a chocolatier, he prefers to be simply called a "candy maker". Lots of great conversation with the owner. He started out in Laguna Beach. When we told him where were from, he perked up from slumping over the counter, and wistfully talked about his days in Laguna. The chocolates are divine! The conversation was awesome! read more

Their toffee is excellent (two kinds) Be careful when you go as they have limited hours Call first if you can read more

Best Chocolate I have ever had. It is harder to say more than that. It has always been fresh and I can't help but be in love with it. The carmellos are one of my favorites, but I have literally tasted nothing here that I didn't like. It's a little expensive, but you get what you pay for here. The store is awesome itself. It is owned by a husband and wife: he makes the chocolate and she makes the beautiful art that adorns the walls. It is a very beautiful and inviting little shop. I purchased a painting and chocolates for my wife as her wedding gift from me. And when I went in there to pick the piece up the gentleman (who is in all honesty a little gruff and grumpy) gave me 15 minutes of marriage advice! The lady also does pet portraits which we are planning on having done for our cat at some point. Don't put it off any longer, go downtown and enjoy some great chocolate from a very charming couple. read more

Wonderful little shop. Totally handmade chocolates. Even the marshmellows used in the smores are handmade.... Very reasonably priced ( I think really under priced) Best chocolates I have ever had. The owners are a wonder older couple ( he is also the candy maker) If I could give this shop 20 stars I would. read more

This place is a gem! This is one of my favorite chocolate shops in Bellingham (it's tied with five stars with Chocolate Necessities). I love the giant truffles with creative names as well as the art that decorates the walls. I am a sucker for the style of art that is displayed in this shop and they sell chocolate... what more could you ask for?! The other neat thing about this shop is that you can find them at the Bellingham Farmers Market (not always, but frequently enough) where they sell amazing macaroons. It's been a couple years but last time I saw them at the farmers market they were raffling chocolate goats! I really love this place. I enjoyed talking with the owners whenever I came in and delighted in buying chocolates for my family when I came home to visit. It is a great place for gifts for others, or even just yourself. Do you really need an excuse to buy chocolate?! read more

This place is amazing. Someday it will close, and Bellingham will have lost a part of its soul. You need to frequent this place as often as possible. You need to enjoy it while you can. read more

The most fantastic chocolate that we have had in a long time. "Czech Toffee" was so good! Dark chocolate with hazelnuts is the difference between this and English toffee. So tender and perfect! Also, they have dark chocolate honeycomb candy that was also fantastic as well as the solid dark chocolate pigs. I'm sure it's all great. Not a pretentious place. Young salesman was charming and knew his chocolate. We will def be going back! read more

Home town fan or visitors from out-of-town won't find yummier goodies than this. All their creations are made onsite. Their Root Beer Float white chocolate candy is a personal favorite. I can't wait to try their buttermints and their mint chocolate (molded in the shape of pale green fish). If you are a fan of fudge, you will be amazed at their chocolate fudge. Candyholics, don't miss this shop. The owners have been at this site for over 15 years. read more

Fantastic homemade chocolate for the kids. I've been in here multiple times and my family and I absolutely adore this place. I highly recommend. read more

Outstanding chocolate! Very expensive but worth it. Try the Lady Gaga...so smooth and delicious...a real treat. Their homemade turtles were also very good read more

Favorite! Best chocolate and wonderful turtles. It's worth the unusual hours. I won't complain about anything as long as they keep making their magic. read more

This is the kind of place i dreamed of finding as a kid. It is a small space brimming with devine chocolate and unique and funky art. I love getting a box of chocolates from Sweet Art to give as a gift (or to have all to myself!) It is a must for any candy lover. read more

This is a long overdue review. Hands down some of the best chocolate confections EVER. Handmade in store their caramel is the best I've ever had globally. Truffles, toffee, all your favorites are here. Their Easter chocolate Joey bunnies have become an annual tradition still for our now adult children. The store is small in size but everything inside is off the charts in flavor. All the art is painted by Vivianne and the chocolate made by Jerry. They are delightful and if their is a line, the wait is worth it. read more

What a wonderful place. We wanted to stay longer, eat more truffles and talk more about art, Bellingham and life in general. The owner is a delightful person. So friendly so generous with his samples. We will be back. confections are worth every penny read more

This little shop is fantastic! I always go here when I am in the Bellingham area. The handcrafted chocolates are to die for. Everything that I have tasted here I have loved! My favorite thing that they make is the white chocolate turtle with cashews instead of pecans. They don't have them year round, usually only around Easter. But they let me know that if I call ahead, that they are more then happy to make them for me! :) read more

Super friendly shop owner and delicious chocolates! Will definitely stop by again whenever I'm up there.

Toffee is ridiculously good and the chocolates while semi-expensive are still a great value due to being big enough to where it takes 2 to 4 bites for even the most voracious chocolate lover to consume one... Wish they had slightly more open ended hours but when you're the best that's the way it goes... read more

The best chocolate I've ever had. The dark chocolate cashew clusters are the perfect treat. For my friend's bridal shower a few years ago I asked them to make me 30 chocolate truffles as gifts. I picked them up and they were beautiful! I hope Sweet Art is open for a really long time! read more

This mom and pop shop has got it going on...he whips up the chocolates and she creates a beautiful environment to choose them in. It's all for sale and it's all very worth it. The truffles, oh my...I didn't know I liked truffles so much. until I tasted one of theirs. Now, I dream about those truffles. My hubby makes a special order every year at Christmas for the dark chocolate covered cherries--the best! Also, I'm a fan of the peanut butter fudge. It's just the right consistency and super sweet! read more

Best chocolate I've ever had! Oh my god you just have to go. The shop is adorable. It's a husband and wife duo. He makes incredible candy, she makes beautiful paintings. Together, they make the shop feel like it's full of hidden treasure. Their fudge is the best. It's the best! The toffee is super incredible too. It's silly, but I also especially like the chocolate frog-on-a-log. Chocolate covered graham cracker + chocolate (dark, milk, or mint) frog? oh yeah. Pro tip: it's not cash only but you definitely wanna pay cash if you can... read more

Great little place and some of the best chocolate creations ever. The owner was very friendly and very informative. The next time I'm in Bellingham I'll pay this shop a visit. read more

Best. Fudge. In. The. World. Everything else is great as well, with no pretentious BS about being "artisan." Calling things "artisan" does not make them better. Anyway, this tiny shop is the best! read more

We got salted caramel chocolates at the Farmer's Market that come from Sweet Art. Nice soft caramel and delicious dark chocolate goodness. If we'd been here longer would have been in this store buying more goodies to try. If you're into chocolate must try this place. read more

I highly recommend checking this place out. The quality of their products and Ingredients is impressive. Anytime I'm in the area I have to stop in. The shop may be little but it is beautiful inside and has some amazing art work as well as chocolates. read more

SO GOOD. I cannot wait to go back. Tried it for the first time and am in love. We got 5 different truffles and each one was everything I was hoping for and more. The gentleman in the shop was very friendly too. read more

I wouldn't say that this is the best chocolate I have ever tried. I could detect no trace of hazelnuts in the hazelnut truffles. The caramel in the caramel bars was mostly sweet and without much caramel flavor. The shell chocolate around the truffles and bars seemed coarse. Probably won't return. read more

This Chocolate Store is amazing by far the best I have ever had! The couple that owns the place are so sweet and very talkative. The chocolate treats are so flavorful and delicate they just melt in your mouth! My personal favorites are fudge, the turtles and java jolts =) read more

This is the best chocolate I've ever had, and I've tried my fair share of boutique chocolates! My husband and I were checking out all the different shops in downtown Bellingham and tried the other chocolate shop on Cornwall, their chocolates were okay but not worth the price. I later walked by this shop but it was closed so I decided to come back the next day to check it out. I bought a few dark chocolates for myself and a milk chocolate for my husband. These were truly the best chocolates I've ever had! The flavour was amazing and the texture was perfect!! They had great value too, I would will definitely be back! read more

The chocolate turtles are the BEST. I thought I died and went to heaven. My sister in Virginia will only eat Sweet Art chocolate turtles. I always send her some for Christmas and her birthday. read more
