OMG!!! What can I say but DELICIOUS!! They were set up in my neighborhood for a weekend event and I got the pecan toffee. It was so soft and delicious and the chocolate melted in my mouth. I will be trying other items soon! read more

I was finally able to make it into the store during operational hours and was very pleased they have a wide assortment of delicious chocolate treats available. This spot is in a shared shopping area was plenty of parking. They have handcrafted chocolates. They can put them in little decorative boxes and packages for you to give as gifts. That are so cute. I was greeted upon entering and assisted immediately. They did follow the COVID-19 safety procedures as recommended by the CDC. I got this cinnamon whipped honey while I was in there to use on my biscuits it was divine! I definitely think of you in the area stop by and grab some yummy treats..... you will not be disappointed. read more

Very happy! I ordered a gift basket. The Secret Chocolatier contacted me right away to get delivery details and followed through the next day. The recipient was very happy with their gift. read more

I had forgotten that the Secret Chocolatier folks had another location on Providence, so when I had an urgent need for a gift, I blasted my way directly to them. And it was a hit. First off, they're super friendly and more than happy to help customize what you're looking for. I got a simple box of 9 truffles, nicely wrapped in a bow. Perfect. As well, a small bag of chocolate bark for my lovely wife. Second, the prices were Great stuff that was much appreciated. Is it wrong to give chocolate to your dentist? read more

This is a cute little shop located in a busy Cotswold shopping center. There is a lot of parking around and even a parking garage for when the area gets packed. It is usually busiest around lunchtime. They have some very cool and different options to try. A lot of their chocolate is dark. I wish they would have some more milk varieties to try, since it's my favorite. I tried the peanut butter cloud? I think it's called. It had an awesome outside design with pretty colors. It was dark chocolate, marshmallow, and peanut butter-delicious. I really liked it. The staff is nice, knowledgeable, and engaged in good conversation. read more

Did a truffle making class today and really enjoyed the learning experience and Chef Bill's fun stories! It was a great time and in addition to the truffles I made - I bought a few chocolates to try and they were excellent! I love this place! Will be back! read more

Beautifully made chocolates. Ingredients have to be of high quality. When you check in on Yelp you can get one free confection. We chose the bananas foster and it was great. The chocolate hits your palette with a sweet kick and the inside surprises you with a tart rum and banana flavor. Prices are higher but its understandable because these chocolates are handmade with quality in mind. read more

I had a taste for some really good chocolate. Since I was in the area, I stopped hoping not to find anything that looked good. That was not going to happen! I settled on my favorite, Dark Chocolate Almond Bark and was content to leave the store. Then they offered a sample of their award-winning Chocolate Seasalt Butter Toffee! Well, now, needless to say, I have two favorite chocolates. The Toffee is soooooooooo good! I am glad I was offered some as I shrugged my nose up about toffee. Never again. You cannot go wrong with a visit here. If you lack self-control, bring $15 and you won't hurt yourself! That is a secret tip! read more

Outstanding customer service. Thank you for your service and delivering chocolates to my mother on Mothers Day She enjoyed the surprise gift! read more

Great local chocolate shop with delicious options for the sweet tooth at heart- don't leave without trying the salted Carmel and many more.

Excellent milk chocolate. It's so chocolaty that you feel like your mouth is transformed to liquid chocolate. The downsides are a lack of selection for white chocolate and ridiculously high prices: $2.25 for one little white chocolate ball. Those white chocolate balls are good, but since I'm a fan of Lindt white chocolate, I always compare other white chocolate to that. This was good, but not as good as Lindt white chocolate. If you want to know more about the milk chocolate, my son gave his milk chocolate mustache a 10 out of 10, which is extremely rare for anything. read more

WHAM! As soon as you walk through the door, you'll get hit with the scent of chocolate. It envelops you and makes you salivate. This isn't like the sterile smell of walking into waxy Godiva at the mall. This is an all-encompassing chocolate experience-- enhanced by an owner who clearly has a passion for the stuff. In the first 5 minutes, I learned the Hawaii is the only state in the US to grow chocolate (or what is it, cocoa beans?), flavors permeate fats like oils and cream, and their truffles contain no stabilizers. Fascinating! On this particular evening, I was looking for cake in a jar for gifts-- but because of the busy holiday season, the shop had run out. No fear, I picked out a few truffles/caramels (including coconut and ginger). The truffles never made it home. The ginger was nicely flavored and truly melted as soon as you put it on your tongue. The truffles aren't as big as the typical large 50-cent vending machine gumball size-- more like in-between the small and large gumball size. But that's all you need. They're rich and yummy. You won't find an enormous selection, but if you ask about any product, the owner will know everything about it. (The mini packaged chocolate squares I bought? Created by some ivy league braniacs who turned their skills into chocolate making!) It makes you feel good about buying local. PS: I was told the truffle flavors rotate a few times a year, and are oftentimes chosen/selected from customer feedback. (Basil? Did I hear you say basil? I want one! How about rosemary or passion fruit poppy seed?) read more

The Secret Chocolatier - The person who gave me these truffles and dark chocolate sea salt caramels gets a gold star. - Desserts Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

I tried a few of their truffles, and all were pretty tasty. The chai truffle had a strong chai taste that I liked, but ended up being a little too sweet for my taste. I also tried a sea salt caramel, which was very buttery but not remarkable. My favorite was probably the white chocolate truffle, which had a unique and subtle salty taste that contrasted nicely against the creaminess of the truffle. Overall, nice gourmet truffles with interesting ingredients but lacking complexity in taste (both in chocolate and filling). Not the best I've had, but they were all still good. I should also note I'm extremely picky about chocolate - the service was really great, and if you're in the area you should still give it a try. read more

Chocolate covered strawberry is DREAMY!!!!!!!!! This was a cute little place we stumbled upon after brunch on Valentine's Day. As a chocolate lover I had to try it. They do coffee and have different types of chocolates. They also have classes, which I thought was a pretty cool idea! read more

My wife loves good gourmet chocolate. This is the place. The service is always very friendly, and the quality is unmatched. Small batch chocolate all made insight. read more

Chocolaty goodness. Enough said. Everyone who has a wicked sweet tooth needs to stop by this family run store. The first time I came here, it was for a Yelp event. The staff was so nice and friendly, and Andy was nice and answering all my questions about chocolate. It's a cute store that is nicely decorated. The display shelf is nicely organized and clearly labeled with which chocolate piece you are giving googly eyes to. It just smells wonderful the moment you open the door and step foot into the place. I highly recommend the Cake in a Jar. It's a good thing that I don't live so close to this place or I would be here weekly! Their littlest chocolatier is also so adorable, so that's another perk of going and visiting this place. read more

If I could consume an unlimited amount of calories, Secret Chocolatier would be on my speed dial. My first (and subsequent) run in with this local darling occurred at Atherton Market. I was minding my own business, gathering local produce and meats, nuts and dairy and then I see chocolate. Cue the music and internal dialogue... Me: Oooooh - I can order chocolates. And try them. And buy sipping chocolate. Holy hell, what is sipping chocolate?! I want some. Andy (nice man from Secret Chocolatier who hasn't heard my internal dialogue above): "Would you like to try some chocolate? Or how about some sipping chocolate?" Me (aloud now): "Yes. Yes please." So I forked over a few bucks to buy myself a teeny cup of sipping chocolate. At first I was a little peeved that I pay $2+ for a tiny cup filled with seemingly hot chocolate. Oh no, friends. This is liquid love. Their sipping chocolate is smooth and rich, sweet but not too sweet. It's. Amazing. And honestly, a tiny cup is likely all anyone can handle. And how about their cakes?! I popped into Atherton for a Slow Food Dinner and not only did they have said sipping chocolate, they had some delicious looking and tasting dark chocolate cake with cream cheese icing. Y'all are lucky I didn't pick up the cake and start running. Delightful, moist cake with absolutely perfect cream cheese icing. Suffice it to say that I'll be back to Secret Chocolatier very soon. And if you can't see them at the myriad of farmers markets they frequent, check 'em out online. read more

Ooey gooey deliciousness! My first experience of their yummy goodness was at one of the local art galleries. They had truffles, caramel sauces, and a cake in a jar. Yes, I said it, cake in a jar. It was fantastic! I didn't have room in my belly to eat dessert at the time, but once I got home, I popped it in the microwave for a few seconds (as instructed) and it came out warm and fantastic! I found myself scraping the sides of the glass and even skimming the bottom with my finger to get every last taste of its sweetness. I love how it's a locally owned business and they take pride in every creation. If you find them at a farmer's market or if they are showcasing at another gallery, pick up one of their tasty desserts and treat yourself (or skip the hunt and go directly to their online store). You deserve it and they deserve your business! read more

Family-owned, operated, crafted. Just the kind of place I like to learn about. Though I'm not much of a chocoholic, I love the art of chocolate and checking out small shops like SC. The aroma alone that you're pummeled with upon entering is enough to make your sweet tooth swoon. After months of dillydallying and unfortunately only being in the area on Mondays (when they are closed) we finally got a chance to check out the assortment of chocolates and other products. Had a great time chatting with the owners and hearing a little about their story. We ended up grabbing 6 different truffles -- White Chocolate Pumpkin, Serrano Pepper and Chocolate, Cardamom, Milk Chocolate, and I can't remember the other 2. All were absolutely fantastic. True to their respective flavors without being overpowering, understated, or boring. The most interesting by and large was the cardamom. The kicker? Drinking chocolate. Think hot chocolate, but 10x as rich, and not with an overly present dairy flavor. It was so decadent and pleasing to sip on. It was in a tiny cup, but man a little bit goes a long way. I'd highly recommend to anyone, especially if you've never tried anything like it before. They also sell a bunch of other bar chocolates, cakes, and....cakes in jars. I'd never heard of anything like this before, but I'm so intrigued. Can't wait to check one out for the sheer fact that it's a freaking cake in a jar! Thank, Secret Chocolatier, for being so amazing! Will be back very, very soon. read more

What a lovely chocolate shop. The Secret Chocolatier is always ready with beautiful, rich, tasty chocolate treats. I love going in the shop because they have such interesting truffles and chocolate bars for sale. They make a great selection of uniquely flavored truffles. My favorites are the aniseed and earl grey. I love that it is a family business, and you can tell when you walk in. The whole family is there, helping to craft what are some of the best sweets I've tasted. The Secret Chocolatier has become my favorite place to buy Charlotte-specific goodies to give as gifts to out-of-town guests or to bring to family and friends when I travel to see them. Check them out. Whether it is for a quick truffle snack or an indulgent gift box of gorgeous chocolates, The Secret Chocolatier will exceed your expectations! read more

Uhh, yeah. There's a reason this place has a perfect rating. Some of the best chocolate I've ever had. Chocolate covered cherry and chocolate covered caramel with Himalayan pink sea salt on top...amazing. Pro tip: Eat your meal at Block and Grinder. Come here for the dessert. read more

Chocolate like wow! So many different flavors from espresso to fruit, simple caramel and even sophisticated tea infusions. When I Google mapped "chocolate truffles" I never expected to hit the jackpot like this. They even have flourless chocolate cake ready to go! read more

Mmmm chocolate. The key to many girl's (and guy's) hearts. Mine included. When my dad surprised me with a variety of fine truffles for Valentine's Day this past year, I immediately transcended to chocolate heaven. I know, I know...some of you are probably thinking- 'was her dad really her valentine?' But my thoughts were simply- 'where did you find these tiny balls of joy?!' The answer: The Secret Chocolatier. Even though my box of chocolates also came in the form of a game, (since I never knew what flavor truffle I was popping in my mouth,) I wound up having some favorites. They include the dark chocolate, peanut butter, and regular milk chocolate truffles. The chili-flavored truffles added a nice and unique twist; however, only the most experienced of chocolatiers should indulge in this delicacy. All I know is that I definitely came out a winner and this is one game I would surely play again... Located on the corner of Sharon and Providence Roads, The Secret Chocolatier is a fairly new, small, family-run business. Friendly and welcoming, they are seeking success and satisfaction from the sweet tooth of every customer that walks through their door. read more

Their chocolate is quite tasty, but their truffles were not for me. For example, the chai truffle has a very strong kick of ginger, but I prefer chais that are smoother. I also like a thicker coating of chocolate on my treats. Don't let my personal preference stop you from trying some, though. I tend to be picky. The shop is family owned and operated and everything is made fresh. We've been in a few times since they opened and the family has always been very pleasant to chat with. If you're looking for a savory bite or something a little different to treat someone you love, definitely pop in and check out the variety of chocolate treats. read more

Pretty much ditto to all the stellar things my fellow Yelpers mentioned in their reviews. It's a small windowfront shop located inside Providence Plaza, at the corner of Providence & Sharon, with a lot of heart. As soon as I walked in I was just really impressed with the warm atmosphere. This is a family-owned business alright - even the cute little baby was at the shop (doing quality control, I imagine). The selection of truffles, bars, and other goodies (cake in a jar? cake in a jar!) is enough to send any chocoholic into a frenzy but that's not what happened to me on this visit. I just took in the whole scene in an almost Willy Wonka-esque appreciation. I settled for a bag of chocolate-covered marshmallows, a seasonal blend box of truffles, a brownie bite, and a pat on the shoulder for not making the content of the bag disappear on the drive home. I plan on returning many times in the near and not so near future to pick up more goodies to delight my friends and family with. read more

Best chocolate toffee eeeeeeever! We go here for most major holidays and stock up. If you've never tried it, you need to!

Such friendly service and unique choices! Flavors like strawberry balsamic and Mexican chocolate make for fun, yummy gifts. They have boxes for 9 & 12 truffle assortments. (They have bigger boxes too, I'm sure, but those were out of my price range.) As soon as I mentioned it was a gift, she offered up ribbon, a pretty bag and tissue paper. I was impressed she pulled out all the stops even though I was only buying the smallest/cheapest 9-count box. My boyfriend grabbed an impulse bag of white chocolate covered honey toffee. It is delicious! read more

This place is a very cue husband/wife owned shop. One of the owners was helping me out and she was very helpful. I bought gifts for others so the only thing I tried myself was a sample of their espresso dark chocolate. It tasted awesome, really enjoyed it. Great place to buy gifts, little pricey but you are paying for good quality ingredients. read more

Although we live just around the corner, we had yet to try The Secret Chocolatier. So glad we did! It was a rainy Saturday and a mini chocolate craving crept up... so I went on Yelp and ended up stopping in. We selected milk chocolate caramel's, espresso truffle, cardamon truffle, dark chocolate dipped smore on a stick, and grabbed one of the many chocolate bars on the retail end. ( not in the case) So glad we eventually gave in to the craving! read more

Stopped in randomly a few months ago to buy some nice chocolates to bring to a friends house. The truffles and bark were both absolutely delicious. I had noticed a sign saying they have classes and today we finally went to the truffle making class. All of the staff was super nice and entertained all of my questions nicely. We had such a great time. And we ended up leaving either 2 little bags of chocolates. Maybe 20 pieces or so. All in all a fun way to spend a few hours with my friends. I truly had a great time! Definitely worth it! read more

I decided to visit Secret Chocolatier because I saw their cute chocolate molded turkeys on a social networking sites I follow - @scoopcharlotte. I bought a couple of mini-turkeys as gifts for the holiday and a small truffle for my daughter. Secret Chocolatier is quite small and my feedback is that I would love to see more creative packaging/gift options for customers. I also noticed the Yelp check in deal after I already left but wish I would have been offered a sample anyway in retrospect. I can tell, however, the quality of their chocolate is top notch (my daughter loved it) and it smells wonderfully delicious. read more

Fantastic chocolate. Friendly staff. Great decor. Highly recommend everyone stopping by.

We wanted to get something local as a gift for my chocolate loving mom! We really enjoyed the sea salt butter toffee, salty monkey bark, and brownie bars! So glad we found this spot offering curbside pickup and can't wait to try more next time! Thanks, Robin! read more

Just had a really bad experience here with a saleswoman who basically refused to help me. I asked her to please give me some ideas about how we could make a gift basket with a variety of items that would total around $50. She started to tell me how much everything cost, and when I suggested she give me a few of each of her favorites until we got to $50, she just stared at me. So I said I'd need to think about it, and left. By far the worst customer service I've experienced in years. Don't go here!! read more

So I love chocolate... seriously big time chocoholic!! However I can be very picky about my chocolate. I can tell the difference between good and bad chocolate and I can tell when truffles are made with love. Let me tell you the truffles at the Secret Chocolatier are absolutely made with love. This family business was introduced to me by a friend who gets her pedicures next door (will review that later as it's an awesome place too). She took me into the shop one afternoon and I was instantly enchanted by the smells that wafted my way. Obviously I had to buy, there's just no way to walk into a chocolate shop and not take something home!! So I got a little sampler that I put together took it home and made a cup of hot tea. Not a single one of the 5 truffles I got lasted the night. Some of my favorites are the Earl Grey, Jasmine Green Tea, and Cardamom truffles. There are some more that I enjoy as well but many times their truffles are seasonal and they are always ever changing. These three never fail to be there when I go though! If you are looking for amazing chocolate and some amazing people to support through your patronage I highly suggest giving them a try. I can't imagine you will be sorry!! read more

This place is amazing... family owned and operated and the chocolate is super good. I am not a huge chocolate person, I went to get something for my friends birthday, had the 7 deadly sins cake and I went back the on Monday to get more and they were closed.. I was crushed. I should have checked the hours. They have a good variety and you can choose what you want... I have started going when guests are comming as a nice treat, 1-2 pieces of chocolate a person.. everybody is always impressed. Great spot for a 'unique' gift that didnt come from some box store. read more

Happy Easter indeed, because the Secret Chocolatier was open, and I was able to get an entirely unplanned, vanilla bean buttercream filled dark chocolate bunny. Probably the most delicious chocolate I've gotten from these guys so far, it reminded me of the many delicious buttercreams I tasted in Bruges a few years ago. Mmm, buttercreams. read more
