Gearharts Fine Chocolates

Nice place to get locally made chocolate that taste great. You can see how they make it and package it. Expensive but good.

Spent a long weekend in Charlottesville and happened to be in the hotel next door to Gearharts. What a nice shop to have in town! You can watch them make chocolate through a glass wall, and the whole place smells divine. It was a week of Freezing temps, so went in for hot chocolate only to find it sold out? Confused how that happens in a chocolate shop, but we did get a very tasty coffee drink. Also got a snickerdoodle and a small brownie pack, and both were delectable. Frankly, the best snickerdoodle I’ve ever had. I also bought their pack of drinking chocolate, of which I’m excited to try in lieu of missing their hot chocolate! I would welcome visiting this shop anytime I’m back in town, delightful.

We just received our first order and everything we have tasted so far has been fabulous!! We're in North Dakota but I sure hope someday we can come visit your store for a coffee and more treats! Saw you on Fox News and just had to try something and so glad we did! Now have perfect Christmas ideas to send friends!!

First time in the store front was this past Saturday morning. It was pretty empty and the staff was very friendly and personable. It smells amazing in there and there’s lots of seating. Had a cranberry chocolate almond croissant and I think that was the best croissant I’ve had in Cville. Also got the il bicerin and it was great, the chocolate was very rich. They also have a loyalty program!

Finally did what I call the "chocolate experience" at Gearharts. Was absolutely a lovely time. We got lucky and Tim himself gave us a great tour, tasting, and experience. All the staff were so pleasant. Loved learning things about chocolate we never knew and seeing how much Tim cares about what he does. Already knew I REALLY liked Gearharts chocolates, but this experience sealed it.
