I LOVE everything about this place. I visit every chance I get. They have an amazing selection of chocolates and every one I have tried has been delicious. A couple of favorites are the famous Dubai chocolates (definitely worth looking up and trying if you haven’t already) and the lemon creams. And the hot chocolate is spectacular! That alone would be worth the trip, but the shop itself is beautiful and, well, joyful and so is the staff. Special shout out to Sue the Chocolatier, who educated us on the chocolates. Plus Essex itself is gorgeous. I could keep going but, the key takeaway is I think you’ll love the place...
Read moreWent above and beyond to help accommodate my order. My wife was on a work trip and staying in Essex, Ct from Iowa and I wanted to have a few surprises waiting for her at her hotel. I called in to Joy Chocolate Co. and inquired about a delivery to hotel. Jennifer was super helpful and even sent me pics of the selections so I could decide what to buy. They made a fantastic box and the day my wife arrived the owner Claire ran them down to the hotel! The chocolates were amazing! The service to make it happen was amazing! Thank you Joy...
Read moreI stopped by to purchase a few boxes as Christmas gifts. I got 3 boxes of a dozen each and one box of 24 pieces. The owners were very helpful and friendly in helping me answer questions about shelf life, how to store, and picking out my selection. When I stopped by, the owner was finishing up on the chocolate sea salt caramel pieces and let me purchase some before she put them out on the shelf. I definitely recommend anyone to visit and I will definitely come back and purchase for future gifts!...
