Elegantly Chocolate

Some of the best truffles around. Decadent and delicious! My favorite is the espresso in dark chocolate. The creamscicle ones are quite tasty too. I do wish that the selection was a bit more expansive but it is a small business. The truffles themselves are very nicely crafted. I’ll get my wife a box from time to time. I don’t see how she can be so strong willed. I’d gobble the whole thing down!

This is a local chocolate shop-​with all hand made chocolates. I walked into the shop to check it out and was greeted by the owner, Stacy. I wanted to explore, and she was more than willing to tell me about her offerings and point out the uniqueness of it all. It’s amazing that you can see her make the truffles-​the shop’s an open kitchen. I sampled 2 flavors: Dark Chocolate Espresso & Dark Chocolate Raspberry, and they were both amazing.
Truffle prices here average at $ 1.65. I’m not sure if that’s expensive or not as I’m not a regular chocolate shopper, but it is a specialty shop and not a nationwide retailer, so I don’t expect anything less. The chocolates automatically come in beautifully designed boxes, so there’s no need to purchase wrapping/​bags or anything.
If you’re in this area, I recommend buying chocolate here, rather than a $ 10 box from the grocery store. This place should be booming with walk-​in business, but it is located on the side of a shopping center that’s not heavily frequented. I’ll definitely be back!

Received a box of truffles for valentines day and they are so so delicious. Texture is creamy and melts in your mouth. My boyfriend said he could see the women making the chocolate in the back, which I love. Why overpay for Godiva when I can get handmade, fresh chocolates and support a local business?

This was an accidental find and I have never been so happy for one of those! They make everything on site. They offer almost everything with a dark chocolate option. I had a delicious dark chocolate covered marshmallow — they make the marshmallows on site! The lady working the counter was friendly and shared all kinds of info about the place. They sell their chocolates to Nordstrom and several other places and I understand why! I also had a dark chocolate raspberry truffle and the husband had a salted caramel chocolate truffle. We LOVED everything. They gave us several other chocolate wafers to sample. WOW! Can’t wait to go back :)

Are you in the doghouse with your significant other? Trying to impress that special someone? Does the person love chocolate? This is definitely the place to pin on your navigation app.
How good are the chocolates at this shop? My friend would by giddy with wide-​opened eyes when she recognizes the chocolates are from this shop. For a visualization, think back to any scene of Gollum salivating over his Precious. The thought of sharing would be quickly dismissed.
If you purchase any of the two-​tier boxes, do not make the mistake of not informing the gift recipient of the second tier. Otherwise, you will see firsthand of Gollum losing Precious when the person realizes half of the remaining chocolates was accidentally thrown away.
Unlike other shops, none of the boxes I purchased were free. Some of the very decorative ones could be a quarter or third of the total purchase. Fortunately, these boxes may be recycled for other purposes, such as, a jewelry holder.
A couple reviews questioned the location of the store. They mentioned the store should be relocated at an upscale real estate. I am glad they are located in this part of Carrollton; otherwise, these chocolates would be even more expensive. Has anyone who frequently visits Los Angeles discovered a reasonably-​priced chocolatier with a 90 210 zip code?

I did a chocolate tour of several chocolatiers — and this one ended up being my favorite by far!
The chocolate is all made by hand and it’s really delicious! I liked the classic flavors they offered — like the chocolate covered caramels.
The strip mall it’s in is a little on the scary side, but it’s a nice neighborhood area — so don’t worry.

I have a huge weakness for buttery-​delicious truffles. Quality chocolate that gets soft just from holding it. These are definitely quality chocolates!
I found Elegantly Chocolate on a whim (thanks Unilocal!) because I was in the mood for some sea salt caramels. A lot of the other reviewers take issue with the neighborhood but that really didn’t bother me at all! It is really tucked away in the corner of a strip mall – seemingly next to a gun store (?!) which is next to a giant Russian Banya. I love the diversity, if nothing else. Upon closer inspection, the gun store is not there but is in fact being used by the chocolate shop as storage space. Maybe it’s time to take the sign down? Anyway.
This place is a block away from Ruibal’s Rosemeade Market, an awesome grocery store and greenhouse, so there are certainly some great finds in this neighborhood.
Ok, the chocolate already! Sorry. They’re great and the presentation is outstanding. I only gave 4 stars because I was, truth be told, a little disappointed in the sea salt caramels and the peanut butter truffles. Those are my two favorite sweet things of all time, so I can be a little judgy I suppose. On the other hand, I was really blown away by the lemon and key lime numbers. The citrus truffles were STARS. The rest of the selection is pretty expected but tasty (champagne, raspberry, amaretto, etc. YUM but no real surprises for the adventurous, either… check out their website ahead of time, very helpful).
The truffles may seem a little small at first, but they’re priced pretty well accordingly. I’d say 95% of the truffles are about $ 1.50, and that is more than fair considering the obvious quality. And besides, smaller is better because then you can try more, save some for later (ha ha, yeah, right), etc. They are slightly smaller than Godiva truffles, for a reference point, and while I do enjoy some Godiva truffles, I think the quality isn’t quite what it used to be, which is why I tend to look for boutique chocolatiers now.
If you’re in need of something for weddings, birthdays, significant others, being in the doghouse, self medication, gifts of any kind, really, this would be a great idea. Beautifully wrapped and easy to devour. The staff also seemed friendly and the woman who helped me was lovely and very helpful.

Great little chocolate place where you can see them making it right there in front of you. Nice selection and very friendly staff.

Niki W and I were hankerin’ for something sweet. We stopped in to check this place out and wow… it’s really impressive.
Delicious. Expensive (but they don’t use any preservatives!). Horribly Located.
This shop belongs in the likes of Willow Bend mall or North Park/​Highland park. Unfortunately its in a run down shopping center that doesn’t seem to get a lot of traffic.
If you’re a fan of fresh and delicious chocolate though, check it out!

I am a fan. I got a couple little boxes of mixed chocolates from them for some friends and they were a hit.
