Piece, Love and Chocolate

Simply stated this shop is extraordinary. The owner and her staff seem to live up to the name «Piece Love and Chocolate «completely. I have been here many many times. I have purchased their rich tasting cakes from chocolate stout to flourless chocolate to raspberry chocolate and more. Each is uniquely crafted and tastes rich, silky, smooth and satisfying. A perfect combination of complex flavor predominantly chocolate of course. The truffles are crafted artistic wonders. Each jewel like in appearance and taste. I once gave a box to business associates who were very thankful to say the least. This is a wonderous local small business in our Boulder West Pearl area. It is a great addition to our neighborhood and downtown.

I did a cooking class here with a friend. We learned to make white chocolate crème brûlée, pots de crème, chocolate Panna Cotta and chocolate pastry crème. This class is hands on. It gave us the ability to learn in a fun environment. You get to bring home your delicious treats that you make in addition to sampling some of the items that were previously made. I highly recommend the classes here.

Piece, Love and Chocolate is my absolute favorite place in Boulder. I’ve been coming here for about 6 years now, and everything I’ve ever purchased from them has been phenomenal, not to mention that staff is always kind and over-​the-​top helpful. I am extremely picky about dessert, as I cook and have worked as a baker, and my mother is also a wonderful baker. We both are, I’ll admit, snobby when it comes to dessert and usually won’t buy dessert outside of the house. Piece Love and Chocolate is the one place that we’ll both go to, and both look forward to eating at. The only dessert outside of the house that I think is actually worth eating. They have unique fillings like lavender (my favorite flavor, and you can’t find it anywhere else!), and a Left Hand Milk Stout cake, which is a must have.
I finally purchased a custom birthday cake from them and it absolutely made my birthday.
They were kind enough to call me a few days after I’d placed the order, just to make sure the cake was decorated exactly how I wanted it. If you’re getting chocolate or cake in Boulder, this is where you need to go!

Their hot sipping dark chocolate is rich and creamy. And the cappuccino truffle is by far my favorite. Their maple bacon is a close 2^nd. Definitely a must-​try when you’re in Boulder!

This is my all time favorite chocolate shop. Ever. And I make every effort to search for chocolate shops when I travel. The truffles are a true delight for the senses. The gluten free desserts and pastries are the best I’ve eaten. I’ve often made the almost-​one-​hour drive to Boulder just to get a dessert and box of truffles for the road.
Even better, they teach chocolate and dessert classes. I’ve attended two so far and plan on working my way through the entire roster.
Do yourself a favor a stop by this gem in the west end next time you are in Boulder.

SO GOOD!!!
Family was visiting and wanted to buy a box of national brand chocolates to take home as souvenirs (think Godiva, See’s, you get the picture). I shut that down and took to Unilocal on a mission to find a local spot that was just as good, if not better. This place hit the spot!
Sure the truffles are a little high priced but chocolate is a finicky product to make in the first place. We had a literal buffet on the table as I went with 2 dairy free options (Maple and Café no lait-​both were better than I expected), a slice of cake (can’t remember which but it was delicious), an éclair, and a pecan bar on the side. The éclair was good but judging by my cousin in law’s face, he wasn’t impressed.
Cuz also grabbed some macarons but didn’t try them out… just yet.
On your way out, also grab a cup of joe or latte to go with your highly anticipated, massive sugar crash cuz this place is ah-​mazing!

The first time I came to Piece, Love, and Chocolate was Valentine’s Day last year. I fell in love with literally everything in the store.
the outside itself has adorable chairs and tables if you’re interested in relaxing on Pearl and enjoying some chocolates! They have a HUGE variety with just about every type of flavor, filling, and ingredient you could possibly think of. They have a drink menu as well (recommend the hot chocolate!). The rest of the shop is a retail store with fun and interesting goodies like chocolate pasta, fondue makers, gift packages, and even various teas!
The whole store is an experience to enjoy and you literally will feel like a kid in a candy store.

Absolutely loved this place! My sister and I stopped in here on our birthday to treat ourselves to some cake and it was outstanding. First and foremost, the cake was DELICIOUS – I got the salted caramel torte cake and my sister got the left hand milk stout cake and both were truly incredible (especially the frosting!) And the customer service was just as good as the cake – truly some of the most friendly and enthusiastic service I’ve ever received!
And for my fellow chocolate/​cake lovers with nut allergies, this is your place! All three of the staff members we interacted with were aware of the ingredients in each item and were happy to double check for us. Also, their chocolate carrot cake doesn’t have nuts in it (unheard of!) and at least on the day we went, all of the cakes in the case were nut free so way less chance of cross-​contamination than usual. Also, while we were waiting in line to pay, the woman in front of us was getting truffles as a gift and the employee went out of her way to avoid chocolates with nuts in them just because the woman wasn’t sure how her friend felt about nuts – way more consideration than usual! It also appears that they keep chocolates with nuts at least somewhat separated from those that don’t. On the day we were there, I didn’t see any products with peanuts or peanut butter (so rare for a dessert shop!) but I don’t know if that’s standard. Both my sister and I have an anaphylactic allergy to peanuts and some tree nuts, and we both felt safe eating their cakes and we felt that the staff was honest and accommodating. To be clear, there are nuts present in the shop and in some of their chocolates and pastries, so it is by no means 100% safe.

Very eclectic chocolate shop in Boulder with a large selection of chocolates. Although tempting, I did not try any of their truffles. I came in on a cold morning looking to try their sipping chocolate. While I’m a huge fan of dark chocolate, I found their sipping chocolate to be very bitter for my taste. Staff was great so will like to return to try the chocolates rather than getting drinks again.

Fun place to look at but very expensive. Beware, their chocolates are super rich but good!

This place is beautiful and the cake… the cake is great! The employees were extremely helpful and you can sit inside to enjoy your treat. I had the Boulder Cream Cake that was a light sponge cake layered with a crème brûlée cream and had a chocolate layer also. It was so good! Next time I will try the pumpkin crunch cake. There are beautiful truffles and a whole assortment of cookies, pastries and other confections. The retail portion of the store has an assortment of goodies to buy as well. I highly recommend this place!

Uniquely decadent chocolate shop with assortment of candies, cakes, pies, coco products, and even milkshakes. This was a great place to stop in Boulder to pick up a gift and have a slice of salted caramel truffle torte. Why not? Indulge in the homemade baked goods and drinks, you won’t regret it.
The sweets and drinks are richer and can easily overload the tastebuds so, it’s was nice that they have all the water one could drink.

This place is beautiful, like and upscale Willy Wonka factory. But unfortunately, it’s chocolates are all look and no substance.
I stepped into the cute little shop so full of hope. The place is reminiscent of, well… the best way I can describe it is a valentine jungle. The truffle display is truly dazzling, with patterned and swirled and animal-​shaped chocolates. In addition, they have a lavish rotating cake display and several shelves of packages goodies. It took me a long, long time just do decide what I wanted, but I finally settled on three truffles, s’mores, a champagne heart, and a dark chocolate kitty. Each truffle is an astronomical ~$ 3, so you can see how I was expecting the world of them. If I could really eat with my eyes, I would have been over the moon. But alas, the chocolates were waxy and badly flavored behind their luxe exteriors. The s’mores was my favorite, I guess, but that’s because I’m a sucker for the dark chocolate/​marshmallow combo.
All in all, it’s worth coming here if you’re doing it for the insta. But if you’re like me and value taste over appearance, this isn’t your place.

Exceptional customer service.
The selection of cookies, cakes, truffles and candy is overwhelming. I highly recommend the honey lavender truffle it was such a surprise the texture and flavor is like nothing you have ever tasted.
The shop has a wide array of chocolate bars/​bark, chocolate covered rice crispy treats, coco covered hazelnuts, large (at least 3oz) Carmel turtles and chocolate for cookin/​baking to name a few.
Makes great gifts!
And don’t forget the hot chocolate. …yummy. …

If heaven on earth existed, I am sure it would look a little like Piece, Love and Chocolate. Upon entering, you’re thrust into a magical world that entices all senses. Cacao pods hang from a tree and sweet aromas fill the air. There are pre-​packaged bars from different chocolatiers, baked goods, nuts, pretzels — you name it. But the star attraction is the case of handmade truffles. I really wanted one of each, but settled for a box of 6. Flavors like Lefthand Milk Stout and Boulder Chocolate Shake, to a more original Maple Bacon, to the classic Salted Caramel, can all be found behind the glass. They are gorgeous to look at and even better to taste.
The shop offers classes on dessert making and pairings, and there’s a café where you can sit and stay a while. Even if you’re not a fan of chocolate (which, I mean, does such a person even exist?) this place should be on the short list of places to see in Boulder. It’s certainly not cheap, but for an indulgent treat very much worth the splurge.

We got the best cake from here. We were coming from out of town for a birthday and needed a good place for a birthday cake. I ordered their tiramisu cake and omg we all died and went to cake heaven! You can tell every ingredient in this cake was fresh and delicious. Even the whipped cream I felt they freshly whipped it that day! I am so glad I found this place and got the cake from here.

Let me preface this by saying that I am NOT a sweets person. I eschew added sugar on the labels of everything I buy at the health food store and believe that the 75 lbs. of sugar each American eats per year contributes to a plethora of health crises facing our country.
However, if you’re going to treat yourself or someone you love to a moment of dietary abandon it should be here. It’s not just that the ingredients are better than the Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory down the Pearl Street Mall (though they clearly ARE), it’s that Piece, Love and Chocolate doesn’t feel like a factory at all… because it’s not. Walking in the door you can tell the owners have a love affair with chocolate, cacao pods and cocoa beans decorate the shelves and the truffles are artfully hand crafted and painted to feed your eyes before their delectable contents satisfy your soul.
The flavor combinations sometimes sound counterintuitive, but the results speak for themselves and very rarely go amiss. It is clear that the chocolatiers on staff not only know what they’re doing but strive to serve creations which make you question whether the word «candy» has any place amongst their inspirations. Blueberry black pepper, pineapple habanero, and port fig are among my favorites… but do not leave without trying their signature liquid salted caramel truffle (available in white, milk, or dark chocolate.) Eat it in one bite because it will literally explode into the messiest, most delicious mouthgasm you have ever encountered. Just know that though it may be your first, it most definitely will NOT be your last!
It’s more than painstakingly perfected truffles here though… gorgeous cakes, cookies, chocolate pasta, and perfectly executed marzipan goodies round out the offerings with thoughtful gifts for potentially EVERYONE in your life.
Remember, if you’re going to be bad… make sure it’s THIS good!

If this place was closer to my house I would be in big trouble. If you love chocolate, this is a must. There is a large selection of items made of chocolate. They have cookies, brownies, cupcakes, macaroons, truffles, croissants, cake… and more. They ever have chocolate to drink. Being our anniversary we decided to get the raspflurry cake for 2. This was a decadent chocolate raspberry flourless cake and it was amazing. I am still wanting more. We also has some coffee which was good as well. The main reason I didn’t give 5 stars is that the service was slow. Can’t wait to go back!!!

Was having a particularly difficult day at work, what better way to treat yourself than with an assorted box of chocs? Moseyed my way to the shop and I was immediately taken aback by the vast assortment.
Imagine walking into a wildly colorful, rain forest reminiscent space, except in place of exotic flowers, you find decadent chocolates. Find on your left a daunting array. You can find some really interesting and adventurous flavors like blackberry cabernet, raspberry chardonnay, fig and port, along with your dark chocolate and sea salt and milk chocolate staples. The one I favored the most was the basil, which was this fresh, slightly sweet, savory combo. I’m a fan of the subtly sweet and this chocolate was perfect for mitigating the stress of the day.
I saw several people enjoying cups of their sipping chocolate, which seems like the perfect indulgence for a brisk autumn day. Stop by to pick up a box for your sweetheart or a random treat, I assure you, you will not be disappointed.

With a name like that, what’s not to love?
Felt like an indoor rainforest — very quirky and endless merchandise. Everything from anything chocolate to reusable grocery bags, mugs, etc.
They also serve hot chocolate, coffee, and truffles.
I got a ladybug and cow shaped Milk Chocolate. Almost too cute to eat! I also tried their special style hot chocolate which was very rich but still good.
