Afterward, the kids had the best time next door filling their baskets with all of their favorite candies--it made the experience even more special. The outdoor picnic tables were the perfect place to sit, relax, and enjoy our treats together. Sarris is a fun tradition for families of all ages, combining amazing ice cream, incredible candy, and a welcoming atmosphere. We can't wait to come back!

I have a massive collection of the cups from all my milkshake runs. Such a cute ice cream parlor chocolate shop vibe inside. The chocolate castle is a sight to see. You can obviously buy their chocolate at most grocery stores, but they have so many unique products at the Sarris store. My absolute favorite is a big box of coconut clusters. I eat them in one sitting. If you haven't tried this iconic Pittsburgh staple what're you doing

I would rate it higher, but the prices are insane, especially considering the vast majority of the selection can be had elsewhere or ordered online. Maybe the shipping price evens things out these days when factoring import fees? In any case, staff were friendly enough but also just kinda stood there. Not sure what I would expect them to do, but they weren't busy at the time. Store was clean but rather condensed as well with narrow walkways. The chocolate we did get was tasty. It's just not anything so unique that it can't be had elsewhere and for cheaper.

Everything from ones you can get in grocery stores to the trendy Dubai chocolates. A bit more expensive, but that's expected. The employees were helpful. Parking is a bit hard, but it's on the strip, so street parking is the go to. I thought they made the hand dipped ones in house, but they get their hand dipped chocolates from Asher's in Souderton, PA. Also, bags are $0.25 each.

We (my steady Betty (hereafter "SB" and I) attended a chocolate truffle-making class here. It was…read moreheld at their Millvale location, which is not a storefront, per se, but where the chocolates are made. This is an odd sort of review, because the only chocolates I've eaten from here were the ones she tutored us to create. And...well...they were magnificent. So rewinding a bit... I was looking for gift idea for SB. A friend at work pointed me to a link to a listicle or PG article about a chocolate making class. I'd never heard of it before. Completely in the weeds. When I went to A519's webpage, it was not intuitively obvious to me where I could go to sign up. BUT...it's listed under "products"...https://shop.a519chocolate.com/products/private-truffle-making-class There...I made a link for you. If you love chocolate, or you love someone who loves chocolate, this class was really fantastic. It broke down a bit like this...(2 hours) 1) Introductions/qualifications/backstory (5 minutes) 2) Presentation about cacao to chocolate...bean to bar. Terminology, taste, geography (10-15 minutes) 3) Tasting...taste various types of "raw materials" used to make chocolate truffles, white chocolate, dulce, milk chocolate, various percentages of dark chocolate up to 85% (20 - 30 minutes) 4) Making chocolates (the remainder) Informative, entertaining, delicious, and satisfying. It's a working kitchen, but doesn't take up a ton of space, so a six person class can be a bit cramped, but not uncomfortably so. There was plenty of space for each couple to follow instructions and hands-on. We first decorated molds using cocoa butter sprinkles (a la Jackson Pollock), then painted with an air brush, then made ganache and tempered chocolate and poured and scraped, cooled and broke molds, each couple taking home 24 BEAUTIFUL truffles. SB likes 'experience gifts', and this one was a great experience for us both. And the truffles WE made were amazing, so I can't imagine how good the ones Amanda (owner/chef) produces would be. Strongly encourage (think: valentine's day gift).

They recently opened a pop up shop in central Lawrenceville which will be open through Feb 2018. When I arrived I met Amanda Wright's husband who is in charge of the shop. Chocolate truffles come in different size boxes and are very expensive. You can still order from Amanda either on-line or call her shop where she produces them if you are unable to come out. Boxes range anywhere from two to a box for $4.00 to about fifteen in a box for $30.00. Although they are grouped by category such as caramels, you are permitted to mix and match to your liking. I decided to opt for a champagne filled truffle and a dark chocolate one. They were box very nicely and I ate them when I got home. Believe me as always they are to die for! These chocolates are to be savored. Wine pairing also helps you enjoy the flavors better. I don't mind have to shelve out a little extra cash when I know something is extra special and believe me I have never been disappointed in any or their high end chocolates. If you are able to get to central Lawrenceville during the holiday season this place is a must if you want to get some of the best candy in the city. Amanda can also custom design a box using sports teams or beautiful art. This makes a great gift for someone who is indeed a chocolate lover.

Kelly's Sweets & Greets still uses the name "St. Moritz Chocolatier" on many of their packages of chocolates. The retail store is located on the second floor of the One Oxford Centre building in downtown Pittsburgh. Currently, its hours are Monday through Friday from the mid-morning to mid-evening. I had hoped to stop by the store on a Friday evening, but I was running late, so I instead placed an order through Kelly's website. On that same day, Kelly's mailed my package via UPS. On the next day, UPS delivered the package to me. The package contained the correct chocolates as well as two mini bags of jellybeans for free. My favorite chocolates were the chocolate-covered raisins (5 stars), which were a very large size and very flavorful. I also really liked the pecan turtles (4.5 stars), chocolate-covered pretzel twists (4.5 stars), and cordial cherries (4.5 stars). I thought that the buckeyes (4 stars) were good but could use a richer peanut butter.

Their pies are available in flavors such as blackberry, blueberry, peach, pineapple, pumpkin, and rhubarb. Their cakes are available in flavors such as chocolate, yellow, white, and red velvet with different flavors of fillings and icings. I first encountered The Pie Place not at their brick-and-mortar store but rather through a farmers' market. I saw small pies in a variety of flavors, and I chose two of the flavors. Each small pie cost several dollars. I ate the pies at home. The apple pie had a crispy crust, fresh apples, and the right amount of cinnamon and nutmeg, and I rate it as 4.5 stars. The cherry pie also had a crispy crust and was filled with sweet and tart cherries, and I rate it as 5 stars.
