Schakolad Chocolate Factory

So addicting and delicious. I go when I have a little extra money and special occasions. The chocolate covered strawberries are amazing and the truffles. Don’t even get me started. I have tried to eat just 1 and it doesn’t exactly work. I just wish they weren’t so pricey

Oh Schakolad! Why must you be so pricey yet so temptingly good!!! Walking into the store & inhaling deeply could surely uplift someone having a mediocre day. The artistry displayed in the store is amazing. Chocolate chess pieces! Almost too pretty to think about eating! There is a vast array of delicious treats to satisfy pretty much any chocolate lover’s craving. I tend to go more for the dark chocolate varieties & there are so many to choose from here that making a limited selection is difficult to say the least. Which do I want today? The dark chocolate mint? Maybe a couple hot ones with red pepper flakes? Perhaps I’ll add a few champagne ones to the toffee & coconut ones. The bite sized morsels are perfect for a little treat to stave off a midday lull or for giving to that special someone in your life for a special occasion. (This is a great option because they are placed in a nice box, complete with ribbon & the box looks as nice as the chocolates taste!)

I have been frequenting Schakolad for years now, and I don’t know why I’m just now writing a review. This is my all time favorite chocolate. It may be because it’s a European style, and that is my yen; or it may be because they are just that good. They have a variety of chocolates, but my favorite is the ganache. Just the right bite sizes with various flavors such as raspberry, champagne, grand marnier, jamaican rum and more. The chocolate covered strawberries are delicious, and they serve gelato as well. The prices are reasonable as compared to other chocolate shops in Indianapolis and surrounding areas, and the couple running the place are so accommodating and on top of it. Whether you feel like an occasional treat or have a love affair with chocolate, this is definitely a must try.

I was visiting Indianapolis on a business trip from New York, and I met a girl. After a couple of conversations with her she revealed that her favorite chocolate treat is chocolate cherries. I decided I wanted to make her smile on Valentines day, so I did a quick Google search for chocolatiers in the area, and Schakolad popped up as one of the highest rated stores. A rating that became abundantly obvious how they had earned it, when I expressed my need to have them delivered on Friday, and the owner offered to hand deliver them rather than ship them out as they normally are to insure their arrival. She was thrilled to have received them, and tells me they were delicious. –Nick

I LOVE THIS PLACE! I have a problem with eating sugar. Well guess what? They have sugar free chocolate. My daughter called it «The Chocolate Factory «. The business is run by a husband and wife. You can feel the love in the place! I would recommend this place in a sec!

If given a choice between Fountain of Youth, Fountain of Wealth and Fountain of Chocolate, I would take Chocolate as only this one has correlation to happiness at the end of the day. In the absence of a friendly genie, Shakolad will provide you with one.
For mocha, your cup gets a slosh from the fountain before coffee gets added. If you ask for a dipped waffle cone with your gelato, it will also take a quick bath in the fountain. Stracciatella gelato is so good with its filaments of dark cold chocolate in mellow vanilla that it keeps me from fully enjoying the seasonal flavors, like pumpkin pie.
Only three tiny tables are rarely occupied as visitors are compelled to browse creative art in chocolate: chess sets, shoes, footballs, roses and animals.
A quote from a coffee mug purchased here: «A balanced diet is equal parts of white and dark chocolate».

How can a chocolate shop be bad? This place was pretty decent, a little pricey for what you get but then again, you are buying fancy candy! I was able to get a great gag gift here, surprisingly! I found some chocolate handcuffs that said «Prisoner of Love» on them… at Christmas time! You just never know what you’ll find!

Inappropriate I know, but my husband and myself both chuckled out loud like children at the sign posted on the back wall which says, ‘Adult mold available by request.’
Five stars? For offering chocolate molds of male and female junk, how can I not rate it a solid five? Not to mention the chocolate is freaking awesome! I’m not a die-​hard chocolate lover like some chicks, but I appreciate a good hunk of sweet sin in candy form occasionally. The prices are beyond reasonable for a chocolate shop. They had these large chocolate covered pretzels for about $ 1.25 and I got the marshmallow pop for $ 3.00, which was yummmmmy! A great little place to just get a small treat so you don’t feel guilty, which I loved.
Another aspect I thought was quaint was that all the molds are hanging in the wall behind the counter, and you can watch them working. Also, the smell is worth a visit (and that’s free).
I already have this place on my mental list for a place to get cute gifts for friends and family during the holidays or birthdays.

Where do I start? AMAZING is probably a good place. First of all, their prices are extremely reasonable. My husband got me a large box of chocolate for Valentine’s Day from a store and it was $ 40.00. My son and I picked our own candies and got their large box for I think $ 32.00… (weighed by the pound). They were so sweet to my toddler, offering him not just a sample but a piece of chocolate. As soon as you open the door you are smacked with that amazing fresh chocolate smell. I am more a carmel person myself, so I got several of their salted carmel candies and they were by far my favorite. I love that they are local and that they have everything fresh and available.

Fantastic chocolate and coffee drinks.

The owner of this chocolate shop works most days and is very friendly. He recognizes me when I stop in (may be a sign I’m in there too much!). Try the gelatto, dark chocolate-​covered oreos, or fudge.

The chocolates are great! They have incredibly unique treats, and the staff is über friendly. While my husband drank his coffee, the girl behind the counter worked and talked to me about glee and show choir. Bless her heart!

I have visited Schakolad many times over the past several years, but I thought I would take a moment to praise them for both their outstanding chocolate treats and their equally stellar customer service.
Today, being Valentine’s Day, was pretty busy, but the staff was professional and helpful.
I’ll be visiting this business again and would recommend that others do the same.

This place is unbelievable. The choclate dipped waffle cone was the best and the dipped oreos were even better. Definitely worth the stop.

Very surprised I’m the first to Unilocal this one. I just thought people would be piling on the praise for some of the richest, delectable treats in town. Not to mention they had two for one chocolate covered strawberries today. But this seems to be the best secret in town, even to me, a self-​professed chocolate connoisseur!
I know that Schakolad is not a unique name, but a quasi-​chain in name only. The franchise owners use Schakolad chocolate to make their treats, but that’s about it. Everything else is pretty much mom and pop. All the candy is made in house (except a couple of pieces) and the proof is in the chocolate mixers behind the counter/​display.
As interesting as the machines may be, however, the display case is where it’s at. And what a display it is! I have never seen such ornate and gorgeous (and lifelike) design in chocolate. They had a full size chocolate basketball!!! IKR? Crazy! The also had a 4-​inch by 4-​inch scale chocolate baby grand piano, complete with hinged top to put more chocolate’s in of course! They also had a cute miniature house, complete with roof, chimney and windows! Now mind that this is all edible, and incredible!
Each category of chocolate pieces had their own unique shapes and designs. I sampled the dark chocolate ganache piece, which had notes painted on (get it? chocolate notes?) The chocolate butter creams also had tiny chocolate sprinkles on top of a swirled top which mad them look like tiny cupcakes in their wrapper.
They tasted even more amazing then the presentation. The dark ganache pure flavor lingered in my mouth for what seemed like hours this evening. So much so that I don’t think I’ll eat the other one until tomorrow, and that’s saying a lot for me!
They also serve Gelato da Vinci with about eight flavors on display as soon as you walk in the door. From what I hear, Gelato da Vinci is fabulous, but didn’t sample it this trip. It seemed odd that it was there in the first place considering one of their neighbors. It seems like where they are tucked between a movie theater, Cold Stone, a pizza place and a grocery store (or basketball arena depending on perspective) that it would be a not so great location. However, once in the place, you realize that this is a corporate secretary’s little secret. It’s right next to the largest office park in the state, Park 100! Those lil’ schmooze chocolates that they send to clients when they visit, or have at important board meeting, this is where that sly secretary gets them from. They also make specialty chocolates for weddings, celebrations, corporate, and their chocolate is certified Kosher!
Why I haven’t been in here before in the three to four years this has been here shall remain a mystery. Now that I had my duh moment and finally Unilocaled a new (ish) shop in my neighborhood, I think it is safe to say that Schakolad will be a secret no more!
