Over 10 years ago, I met Robin for the first time when I went looking for a special and unique gift for my elementary school daughter, who had recently won "Student of the Month" at her school. Robin didn't have her storefront on Airport road yet, and she was obviously very busy that day, but she took the time to listen to me ramble about how excited I was for my little girl. Robin didn't know it at the time, but I was also going through a pretty messy divorce and had about $18 to my name. After Robin showed me some options, I settled on one of her caramel pecan turtles.
But knowing it was for my daughter, Robin got a small basket, added some tissue paper (and I think if memory serves me right, she also a small teddy bear), and then turned the one turtle truffle into a truffle train of 3 turtles and added a few extra chocolates. I protested that I could only afford the one truffle today, and she told me that the rest was complementary because "these others didn't come out quite right so we can't sell them." (I'm not sure if that last part was true or if she was trying to save my pride, but I suspect the latter.)
Ever since that day, I've purchased from her at every opportunity and recommended her to all of my friends.
And then tonight, I drove all the way out to the store only to find out that the Google posted open hours were wrong and the store was already closed. On a long shot, I called the store to see if anyone was there and apologetically asked if there was any way I could come inside to complete a purchase. Robin herself was in the back working late and obliged with a smile, though I was interrupting her pre-Valentine's-Day-After-Hours-Chocolate-Making marathon.
Outside of being a master of her craft and creating chocolates with delicious and completely unique flavor profiles, Robin is an amazing human being and her shop deserves all the accolades and 5 star reviews that she has and more. Highly...
Read moreAs soon as you walk in, you are greeted with the rich scent of chocolate. The shop is small but inviting. The glass case filled with rows and rows of handmade chocolates and other goodies.
The owner, Robin, is clearly passionate about chocolate. Her staff patiently helped me select a gift assortment of chocolates including an adorable little gold dusted turtle, my personal favorite. The chocolates were beautifully packaged in a ribbon-tied box - perfect for gifting.
The flavors were complex and balanced. I was thoroughly impressed by the care put into sourcing fine ingredients and hand-crafting each chocolate. Robin Chocolates truly produces gourmet confections with unique flavor profiles you can't find anywhere else. I will definitely be back to try more of their delightful chocolates as the seasons and flavors change!
If you're a chocolate lover, I highly recommend stopping by Robin Chocolates to treat yourself to their delectable handmade creations. Grab one of the molasses salt caramels on your way out, I promise you won't be...
Read moreFabulous chocolates. I had previously always gone to Rocky mountain chocolate factory, which is good, but I've never cared for their fillings; they are too sweet for my taste. Went to Robin Chocolates for a present to an over seas team I work with. Sampled the vanilla pineapple chocolate that was at the counter, assuming it would be too sweet for me. It was amazing!! Tried both of their other samples and both were excellent, although the vanilla pineapple was my favorite. Great quality does come with a high price. The chocolates were about $2.50 per piece, so a box of 24 for my coworkers was $50. Probably not a place Id go every week due to the price, but when wanting the highest quality, this will be my new go-to...
