St Croix Chocolate Co — Local services in Marine on Saint Croix

I have loved this chocolate shop for years (before it was trendy). Great spot for Easter treats for sure-and those special teacher gifts throughout the year. Today-1-30-21, was the first time I was in a position of "hmm not sure it was worth the trip" Small shop, and understandably weird world times do create caution in many-however, to rudely tell me to remain on the square--was not called for when there were exactly 3 customers (2 of which were my son and I). I was "caught" leaning forward to read the types of chocolate in the case so that when our turn came we could make a quick selection. The woman working (at 11:05 right after opening) in a not so nice way "step back to the square-don't crowd" If you don't want more than 1 person in your shop at a time-put a sign on the door to have people please wait outside or in our cars. I was ready to buy more than I did-spent just over $20-about 1/2 of what I was thinking of doing. I work in a small shop-and never have we been rude to people or told them were to stand. If you also don't want crowding-have a list of your available chocolates posted-again so a speedy decision can be made once it is time. I was taken back-as it has been since July that I have encountered rude sales people in a small store--and I go to a lot of small businesses. Shopping will most likely take place on line when I do feel the need for great chocolates again. I give them a 4 star for the chocolates alone-you won't find better--if I had to give stars on customer service they would get a 2 for sure--which is so not where they use to be. Sad that the world has...

I found my new favorite chocolate EVER. I came from Minneapolis just to taste these chocolates. First I need to say I am a hardcore chocolate enthusiast(one of my first words was Chocolate/I never spoke when I was little unless I smelled chocolate) so I have high standards. I’ve bought luxury chocolates from all over the world and these chocolate absolutely compare. I bought 10 truffles, went into my car and ate the lemon espresso which I bought 3 of. It was so good, I went back inside and bought 7 more lemon espressos because it was the most delicious truffle I’ve ever had in my life and I knew I was gonna be so bummed if I ran out before getting home. It is everything I’ve ever wanted in a truffle in terms of taste and texture. I’ve had every lemon chocolate I can get my hands on and THIS… nothing can compare. It’s actually tart lemon, not overly sugar and fruity. It’s like they managed to put my favorite tart lemon bar inside a milk chocolate filling. Plus the outside is dusted in this really nice sugar shards. Holy smokes it was delicious. I probably talked to my mom for 2 hours about how much I loved this truffle. The second one I loved was the Apple Walnut. It has the most beautiful design on it, but the apple flavor is just an explosion and again- not artificially sweet and fruity. Anyways, highly highly recommend to my chocolate lovers. I bought 17 truffles and here we are not even 48hrs later and all 17 are GONE. I have no self control and I’m not ashamed. P.s. could I get a cake made out of the lemon espresso? I would seriously use it for my...

St Croix Chocolate Co: Worth the drive and worth the price!

I've known the owner of St Croix Chocolate Co since before she endeavored to start an artisan business located on the scenic St Croix riverway.

Every product I've eaten has been beyond delicious. I purchased the amaretto cherry chocolates this Christmas. Let me tell you, these are not the chocolate-covered cherries I used to get as a thank you when I was a young paperboy. The flavors were subtle and nuanced. Last Easter, I bought their daisy-shaped, lemon-flavored chocolates. Again the taste was decidedly lemon without being overpowering. I wish those were available year-round, but I understand the lemon flavoring isn't always available, so I'll have to be content to wait until next spring to get these.

If you're looking for a fudge shop or chocolate that's priced like a mass-produced Hershey bar, head down the road to Holiday Gas station. If you want exceptional, unique chocolates, have a scenic, calming drive to St Croix...
