This is a standout local chocolate shop with a near-perfect rating across hundreds of reviews, and the tasting experiences seem to be the real draw. Staff members like Melissa, Danielle, and Dave come up repeatedly, praised for being knowledgeable, funny, and genuinely passionate about what they do. The chocolate and wine pairing and hot chocolate tastings are clear crowd favorites, with guests learning about the sourcing and production process along the way. Beyond the tastings, the shop itself is worth a stop for truffles, artisan chocolate bars, and specialty drinks like the Thai iced tea hot chocolate. Prices are reasonable, the atmosphere is calm and welcoming, and the selection spans single-origin bars from multiple countries. Several reviewers mention returning multiple times a year, which says a lot about the consistency here.
It’s not just chocolate; River Sea Chocolate is a hidden gem. You can tell Krissee and Mariano actually care about what they’re doing and the personal touch goes a long way! Solid, small-batch chocolate, unique flavors, and great service. Definitely worth checking out!! There’s also exciting growth right around the corner!
