Pizzelle's is an impressive little chocolate shop inside Lowe Mill. It's been around a while - I think they recently celebrated their 10 year anniversary - and for good reason. They have miniature cakes, ice cream/gelato, cookies, a few other confections like toffee, as well as coffee and tea...but the star of the show here is, no doubt, the chocolates.
I've visited a couple times over the years but never felt comfy leaving a review because I hadn't had the chocolates - in the past, I've felt more snackish and chosen cookies or gelato. That's the reason for the 4 instead of a 5, honestly -- I wasn't super into either of those items in the past. The ice cream I had was better than the cookies (a mint chip flavor of some sort, a lil too heavy on the mint but otherwise tasty), but I've had cookies at least 3 times over the years and wasn't too taken with any of them. Perhaps I've just gotten unlucky.
That aside...the chocolates are an easy 5/5. Yes, they are pricy, but they might as well be works of art. They really are just THAT beautiful. Each and every one is incredibly detailed, sculpted, and colored to perfection. They're all unique and all have thoughtful flavor combinations. You can order smaller bonbon type chocolates as well as a few signature candy bars.
This time, I ordered four individual pieces as well as the Mommy Dearest candy bar. I enjoyed the smaller pieces over the next few days, but I was hungry and ate the candy bar right in the shop. It was delicious! Fluffy coconut, crunchy almonds, and gooey caramel with just enough salt. Fine fare!
In order from least to most favorite (note: I liked all of these, just have my preferences like anyone):
The Depth Charge. Tasty espresso zing, though I was missing the stout and nutmeg. It resembles a beer, though, with beautiful amber and brown ripples.
Totally Tubular - reminds me of a 90s indoor skate park. Black and neon! Awesome colors. A very silky chocolate and almond praline. Nice!
Nutty by Nature - definitely a favorite. Absolutely stunning swirls of blue, gold, and brown, and a strong nutty flavor and crunch. Not too much marshmallow, but just enough for some pillowy softness. Yum yum yum!
Best for last: Give it to Me Baby!! A beautiful chocolate, though a bit more subtle and less flashy in design than the prior two. It's a little like a turtle candy -- absolutely delicious bourbon caramel (you really can taste the bourbon) and perfectly crunchy pecans. Can't lose with this one!
Service is always friendly and polite. The quirky decor (lots of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory memorabilia) is fun and inviting.
All in all, these chocolates would make a phenomenal gift for anyone in your life (including yourself!) who appreciates chocolate, art, or...
Ā Ā Ā Read moreHad a hard time finding this place because I have never been here and thought the building was just an old run down mill, so I kept driving around in circles lol I found this place through Google. Google kept recommending it to me and showing me an amazing photo of a macaroon. I went to their FB page to see what all they had and decided I HAD to go check it out. As soon as I walked in, I knew this would be a place I would recommend to all my local friends and a place I would bring all of my out-of-town friends. I absolutely LOVE this place! They have a great variety of items! The display is amazing and all the chocolates ........ š The prices are fair for what you are getting. If you are looking for cheap chocolate, go to the gas station and grab a Snickers. The prices are not high at all for the quality of chocolate and the work these kind people put into them. They also have single serve cakes that come in a variety of flavor. The frosting is buttercream and they are to die for! The macaroons, (what got me here in the first place), are the best I have ever had! If you have not visited Pizzelle's Confections, I would recommend you do and bring your friends! It's a place you can sit and catch up or just have a great girls time. I will...

The sisters who own this shop have a passion for chocolate that shows in their creations.
