The only thing better than chocolate truffles is free chocolate truffles. I stopped in yesterday at Sinful Sweets which is downtown. The store is on the small side but has a great selection. They have cupcakes, candy truffles and ice cream among other things. Everything looked amazing. The gal behind the counter was super friendly and extremely helpful. I would definitely go back again for some more chocolate. The only negative is he parking, If you are already downtown defiantly stop in and check it out. It can be hard to find a parking spot anywhere around except in a lot which is not cheap if you are only coming for chocolate. Overall service was fantastic store has a great selection and chocolate was delicious. read more

Sinful Sweets is out of my way, but I can't resist good chocolate! I stopped here on a Monday around 3 o'clock to claim my free truffles. Parking was impossible to find. I circled around the area many times and ended up setting for a spot that wasn't exactly a spot while I ran in to avoid the $15 fee at the parking garages. When I entered, I told the woman I was there for my Yelp truffles. She redeemed my offer and handed me the premade panic of 4 truffles. I immediately asked her if any of them were peanut butter and she said, "oh no none of them are." When I got to the car, I immediately opened my truffles because like I said earlier, I really love chocolate. I smelled the first piece and knew it was peanut butter. I then found the "menu" on the back of the package. The truffles consisted of: peanut butter, espresso, fudge, and Guinness stout. I knew the only one I'd like would be the fudge, so I chose to eat it in the car. It was good, but the chocolate was not milky enough for my liking. Knowing your product is a very big deal, especially in today's day and age because of all of the food allergies. If I would've know the assortment, I definitely would've purchased other truffles that I know I would've liked to try and give a fair trial. I would rate this event a 3.5/5. read more

Came in early Monday and found a cute shop. There are cupcakes, ice cream, milkshakes, and chocolates to choose from. They also have some prepackaged goods. I was eyeing up the cupcakes. The cookies and cream looked intense with a couple of cookies on top. What I thought was the somoa had a toasted marshmallow. Alas, it was actually the s'mores and when the handed me the cupcake I was disappointed. I pointed out the labels were mixed up and she offered to swap it out since that was their mistake. I had already touched it and don't want to waste food. Also, I should have known better, too. I checked in and the offer didn't pop up for the four piece truffles as someone else alluded to. She understood and recognized today is the first day. They're quite understanding there and service was solid. The somoa cupcake had a dense frosting with coconut flakes. It was too much and heavy for me. The cake itself was okay, good moisture. With the frosting, it was too overwhelming. Cute spot and glad I stopped in. I might try the milkshake in warmer weather. read more

Thanks to Yelp for offering all these opportunities to try out businesses we might not otherwise. This business is downtown and though I have seen it I have not stopped in. Usually if I am downtown it is for a show and Sinful Sweets is not open. Luckily I was with someone who dropped me off and picked me up at the door which saved the hassle of parking. Upon entering the shop it is bright and colorful with lots of delicious treats on display. There was one other customer but no employee in sight. A few minutes later one came out of the back. She was friendly and helped me get my free truffles even though the offer did not load properly. The store has a variety of chocolates and cupcakes and some pre packaged candy as well. I also tried some peanut butter edible cookie dough while I was there as well. It was good but nothing special. Apparently they have a packaged buckeye version. The Yelp offer was for a package of four truffles. The package listed what they were but it was hard to determine which was which other than the espresso. My favorite I think was the Guiness truffle. I normally love peanut butter but it just left me wanting more. I couldn't even tell it was a peanut butter truffle so it was disappointing. If I happen to be downtown maybe I will stop in and try something else. It could have just been a miss. read more

Yelp Elite Week @ Sinful Sweets - Yelp Events Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

January's individual Elite events included the opportunity to grab some sweet treats at Sinful Sweets! While I love Sinful Sweets for their milkshakes and baked goods, I usually overlooked their truffles in the past, so I went ahead and took advantage of this offering to change that. Oh man. Those truffles were amazing. Elite guests received a bundle of peanut butter, expresso, fudge, and stout truffles. I thought for sure I'd be able to pick a favorite from that selection. Nope! All were equally good in their own way. I wanted more and it was probably a good thing I was far away from the shop at that point. Another reviewer put it perfectly: this event was simple and sweet. Walk in, pick up delicious truffles, head on out - and of course, come back soon for more treats! read more

Nice treat! I've never been to the store but my husband has been buying chocolate goodies for me here for sometime now. It was my first time going. Parking was terrible but expected to be so. We were lucky enough to get one of the 15 minute spots. The inside is very small but has everything you would want. Cupcakes, cookie dough, truffles, chocolate covered pretzels and strawberries, ice cream, chocolates, and more. I've had a few things but not the truffles so it was nice to try something different. They were very good! Peanut butter was my favorite as it melted in your mouth. I would definitely get more next time. We also opted to buy a peanut butter cup cupcake because they are delicious read more

I'm a huge fan of this shop. It's my go-to when I need something sweet for a dinner party or just a snack for myself. How awesome is it to receive four free truffles as an elite?!? Super awesome! I walked from my office on Ross Street and back so I never earned this treat after braving the wicked winter temp and wind. The truffles in my packet: peanut butter, espresso, fudge and Guinness Stout. Can you guess which is my fave? Well I love them all but Guinness Stout holds a special place in my heart. The service was as friendly as always. The shop smelled and looked as delicious as ever. What a great little treat. Many thanks!! read more

This place is magical. There, I said it. I've had their cupcakes and their milkshakes before but had not tried any of their chocolates. The truffle package was adorable and there were 4 different ones to try. I loved them all, though the fudge was my favorite. The girl working was very helpful and sweet. While there, I decided I also deserved a chocolate covered s'mores. It was messy but delicious. I also got a Moose Track milkshake. It was the perfect consistency and just the right amount of sweet. read more

So getting to town I is not an easy task for all but these folks aeniorn a little later so took advantage of that. You walk in and the cases are full ( wish I grabbed a pic but luckily other yelpers are more in the ball than I. There was aa woman in the back that you could see through a window -- she asked if she could help me when... told her i was there for the Yelp event as I stumbled in email to find my confirmation - yelp page and then finally showing her the offer er after checking in. She hit redeem in the app and handed me the package show. No explanation of thE store or what else they offer My first time visiting .. I would have gladly listened to what sinfully sweets is about. Warning ... one is peanut butter in event you have an allergy. The stout is fantastic! Thank you for hosting the event.. but get me excited to come back by spending a few minutes to explain your store :). read more

Stopped over here while doing errands downtown as well as take in the ice house over in Market Square. I've visited this location a few times since they moved over from 9th St and they still carry a nice selection of homemade candies, cupcakes, pastries, chocolate covered cookies, as well as Perry's ice cream and now selling edible cookie dough. I asked the counter lady about diabetic options and she told me they didn't have any. They do have some things that are gluten free. Vegan cupcakes can be special ordered ahead of time. My check in perk entitled me to 4 small assorted truffles in a bag. The bottom of the bag is clearly labeled as to what they are. They are not too big so you can probably finish them off fairly quickly or snack on them when you have that sweet tooth. The Guinness truffle was by far my favorite and I learned was made in house special for this event. The espresso was also very good. The fudge was different in that it was made from dark chocolate which is my preference when it comes to candy. Still, I enjoyed it. I'm saving the peanut butter one for my husband since I'm not a fan of it. I was interested in Valentine's day orders and the cookie dough. With the edible cookie dough having now become widespread I asked if I could sample one of them. She gave me some of the red velvet to try. I found it not so sweet and not to filling. This flavor is their Valentine's special and I could have it made up or purchase a premade sealed pint of other flavors displayed on the shelf. I decided to get the premade cup. The cost is dependent upon how many scoops you want. I ordered 2 which ran me $4.00. She told me that it doesn't need refrigeration and will keep for a couple of weeks so I was able to take it home without any problems. As far as Valentine's day is concerned they are currently taking orders for chocolate covered strawberries. Like all candy stores you can "build" your own box of chocolates to your liking. The ones used for today's event gave a good sample of what they focus on although I would have like to have had a piece with nuts in it. People have noted that driving downtown during the week is both problematic and pricey. That is very true however, public transportation is available and this store sits on Liberty Ave near some of the bus lines. Bike transportation is also available. They are open daily so if you want to save on parking then come in after 4 pm or all day Sat or Sun and you will get reduced parking rates. Sweet event at a very sweet shop. read more

I stopped by here a couple of Sundays ago for Yelp Elite Week @ Sinful Sweets. While I have definitely been past this location before I can't say that I have ever really noticed it before. It's located right on Liberty Ave close to Market Square and the weird Liberty/Fifth Ave intersection. The inside of the shop here was quaint and consisted of an area with what I would consider to be random candy, see through glass to some ice cream containers and then a couple of display cases, one with chocolate and one with baked goods. Whenever I arrived at the shop I was immediately greeted by the person working that day and upon mentioning that I was there for Yelp Elite Week she proceeded to have me mark the offer as used as well as hand me a prepackaged set of 4 truffles. I have to admit that I haven't seen this as part of a Yelp week before but it actually made a ton of sense to me. In any case the four truffles consisted of peanut butter, espresso, fudge and Guinness Stout. Out of the bunch our household liked the peanut butter the best followed by the espresso. All of them were good though and it was nice to get a selection of them. The bottom line for me is that we would stop back here again in the future. They have a nice selection of candy, cupcakes and ice cream and it's nice to know a place downtown where you can get all three. read more

Yelp Elite Week @ Sinful Sweets - 4 pre-packaged truffles - Yelp Events Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

I'll give this a solid 3 stars. I came by with my daughter on a Thursday evening. Sinful sweets is in an awkward spot making it a challenge to find a place to park. When we arrived, noone was in the store. We looked around for a few minutes and then a lady came out and gave me the truffles. We also purchased a 6 pack of chocolate and vanilla cupcakes. Somewhere in the process I lost my truffles hut didnt realize until I got home. The cupcakes however, were average. Not bad, just ordinary. They reminded me of grocery store cupcakes. I wouldn't mind stopping by in the future if in In the area to try something new. I saw they had some fancy looking cupcakes that I now regret not trying! Thank you yelp and sinful sweets! read more

I LOVE chocolate and these truffles did not disappoint. There are four different flavors -- peanut butter, espresso, fudge & Guinness stout. They are all good but Guinness stout was my favorite. The only downside was finding parking, which was not so easy but then again, that's not unheard of in downtown Pittsburgh. Can't wait to go back again and get myself a box of the Guinness stout! There is no bad day that chocolate cannot cure. read more

From the moment you walk in you are greeted by the sights and smells of delicious candies. The display cases are filled with a wide variety of flavors and sweet types. There's definitely something for everyone's sweet tooth. I was slightly disappointed I didn't get to choose my 4 truffles and they were pre packaged and appeared smaller than the ones in the display case, but I still got a nice variety of tasty treats. My favorite was the fudge truffle. It had a fresh chocolatey core with a crunchy shell that created a nice combination. Second favorite was the Guinness one. The flavor was subtle and just enough to make for an interesting bite. A lovely place to visit if you work downtown. Just be prepared for parking to be difficult, as it it is anywhere in the city. But worth the slight inconvenience to fill your chocolate cravings! read more

I drove round and round looking for parking only to discoverthat there is what appears to be free short-term parking right in front of the shop! The staff were very kind, and as always, the display is breathtaking in its variety. I wanted one of everything, but I settled for the little pre-packaged set of four truffles promised with an Elite Week check in: espresso, peanut butter, Guinness stout, and fudge. I also picked up a couple of dark chocolate turtles. I'm glad that I got to celebrate Elite Week in such a delicious way! read more

Great Elite perk experience at Sinful Sweets. I read other reviews and had my husband drop me off and he drove around the block in order to avoid the parking costs. When I went in, the small shop was pretty busy, so I took that time to look around the shop. They have baked goods, truffles, ice cream, and some regular candy for purchase. They also have pints of ice cream ready for purchase. When it was my turn, I showed the sales lady my voucher for 4 truffles. The truffles were really good. They weren't overly sweet, which I appreciated. I will go back to Sinful Sweets to try their other goodies. Thanks Yelp Pittsburgh for the delicious offer! read more

Thank Yelp for the chocolate! Have been to this area many times, but never really noticed Sinful Sweets as it is quite a small shop. They have plenty of items from truffles, edible cookie dough, cupcakes, and a wide array of chocolate covered items. The truffles were good! Nothing spectacular, but satisfied that chocolate craving. I ended up getting some other items such as the chocolate covered oreos and smores, which were good. I was super excited to try the edible cookie dough, but it tasted a bit off too me. read more

A fun treat! I've never had their truffles or chocolate before so this was great opportunity to try it. Since it was a week long there was plenty of time to go at my leisure. The truffles tasted so good though it would have been nice to pic our own since there were some truffles that I didnt love solely because I'm not a fan of those flavors in general. Overall a fun way to taste their truffles! read more

Thanks yelp and Sinful Sweets for the incredible truffles! My favorite was the peanut butter, although they were all delicious. The truffles here are nice and light which I appreciate.

It was a nice treat! The shop was cute and easy to find, plus it's a very convenient location right next to a bus stop and several parking garages. I got in and out quickly. I'd been expecting to pick out a couple of truffles, but they had them all prepackaged. I was a little concerned because one of them was peanut butter flavored -- what if someone had an allergy? -- but all of the truffles that came in the sample were delicious. The girl working at the counter was very friendly and helpful. I'd definitely go back! read more

What a cute little shop downtown! It was very easy to find with the bright pinks signs. The store maY be small but it was stuffed to the brim with candy, cupcakes, ice cream and more! The woman at the counter was nice and gave me the four truffles for the elites. I was expecting to be able to choose but I understand having these pre wrapped makes it a lot easier for them. I really liked the Guinness and the Espresso flavored truffles. They had a nice hard chocolate shell and a smooth creamy interior. I give four stars because the other two: fudge and peanut butter were not to my taste. They were almost like fudge drops as opposed to the candy shop truffle - they were all smooth texture with no shell. TheY also were much milder in flavor than the other two. Definitely go for the truffles wiTh chocolate shells! read more

I am so grateful for the opportunity to try some chocolate from this cute little store. The store was very bright inside a with an assortment of sweets ranging from cupcakes, chocolates, edible cookie dough, and other sweet treats. The girl behind the counter was very nice and straight to the point. She asked me if I was in because of Yelp and she handed me a little package of four truffles and checked my Yelp offer. It was a quick exchange. The chocolates were wonderful but I think that's because I got them for free. The chocolates were softer than I would like and the flavors were almost indistinguishable from each other. Would I try this place again? Possibly for their other offerings but definitely I've tried better chocolate elsewhere. read more

i'm always thankful for free chocolate - and this was no exception. we stopped by around 7pm on monday evening - i ran in quickly while my partner drove around the block because there was no parking. the shop was empty and the staff came out from the back to greet me. the exchange was fairly quick - i asked her for which was her favorite and she pointed out the fudge meltaway, though she did have to check which ones were even in the package. **note: they are not packaged in the order that they are listed on the label so be very careful if you have allergies** a visual guide or packaging it in order would be helpful. overall, the chocolate was just okay. we were excited to try the guinness stout and neither of us was able to taste the flavors so we were disappointed. the espresso was easily our favorite - it was flavorful and the right amount of melt-in-your-mouth. at the end of the day though, probably a 3.5 star experience, but can't complain because it was free - thanks yelp and sinful sweets! read more

This is a great idea for a flexible Yelp Elite event. I work a short distance away from Sinful Sweets (can almost see it from my office window) but have only visited twice previously. They were so generous as to give us a 4 pack sampler to try. The employee working was friendly and able to answer a few questions about their other offerings. The truffles were tasty- I had three out of the four (gave the espresso on to a coworker). Like others, my favorite was probably the stout one- much to my surprise. The truffles were not overly rich, so if you're looking for a light treat these are a great option! read more

Made it on the last day of this offer and so glad to have a sweet treat of chocolate truffles. The store is tiny but packed with sweets from edible cookie dough (my husband's favorite) to gourmet cupcakes. When we walked in right as the store was opening the workers were setting up the cookie dough, greeted us and grab my packet of truffles. My husband bought a pint of the edible cookie dough which you don't often find. The truffles were delicious especially the peanut butter and fudge ones. We will be back for more treats! read more
