Melt Chocolates — Attraction in Milwaukee

If you're the kind of person who opens a box of chocolates and goes for the ones filled with various fruits and creams, you will love this place. Unfortunately, I always skip those and opt for the denser, more heavily chocolate ones that are less sweet.

A friend and I each got a box of 4 last Saturday. The service was great and the chocolates are beautiful. You can tell that they put a lot of effort into their work.

To enhance a quiet New Year’s Eve, my wife and I crossed the street from our apartment house and purchased chocolates from Melt in the Lincoln Warehouse. Tiny, but obviously bespoke, Melt looked the opposite of commercial or corporate. The person behind the register was helpful, informative, and obviously passionate about Melt’s chocolates.
