It was a beautiful place to sight see, plus the delicious treats. So good, staff was very friendly, and the chocolates were absolutely divine.

Amazing chocolates! If you like quality and care about ingredients, you will love them! I bought an assorted pack of 8 chocolates, and loved every flavor. I will be ordering more online, as I am not local. Excellent alternative, if you want to gift something made in Virginia. I have visited Europe, and this chocolates are on par with the ones I have tried abroad.

The pastries are wonderful here! Went to get two of their chocolate cake slices. One for me and my mom. I always love to support local business and have frequented Gearharts for their desserts.This review is solely regarding the same woman who has been forgetful with bagging an item and then being adamant it’s been given:When I asked where the second bag was, the cashier stated she already handed it to me. I conveyed it wasn’t and then I was gaslit into being told it indeed was, and that I’d have to wait until my mom came out of the restroom (insinuating my mom took a slice of cake in there).The cashier reiterated and insisted that I was already given the second bag when only one was handed to me. She came back with another woman who approached the register and then asked if I would like the slice (the one I paid for).I think the atmosphere and quaint location is great. Maybe a little kindness + retraining on customer relations for the employee working on the register. I wouldn’t write a review as such but this was the second time this happened with the same employee.Having experienced this combative energy, I wouldn’t come here again despite their cakes being good! It’s nice to be able to enjoy some desert- not be gaslit and greeted with a confrontation.

Phat, lush, fresh. Top-notch customer care, even by mail order on Valentine's Day (when, y'know, they're probably a little busy in the shop).

The hot chocolate mocha is the best Mocha in Charlottesville. They make the hot chocolate in-house. I was hooked after one sip. The atmosphere is cool . You can watch the candy being made! Go try this place!!

These are the best chocolates on the planet! You can see them being made through huge windows in the shop.And a little tip is, if you bring back your box to reuse you will get a 5% discount.

Not sure how chocolate could be any better. I'm from out of town so I plan on having some shipped back home.
RIP the GAMe PLACe where Micheal Snyder stood up to Chris Chan the lonely virgin.(But the chocolate looks very good hope to visit if I’m ever in Charlottesville)

Absolutely delivious. My husband and I got a box of 16 pieces and took turns picking out 4 flavors each. The service was wonderful and we also decided to try one of their decadent brownies. We will definitely be back!

I love Gearhardt's chocolates. I was fortunate enough to take a class from him years ago, and he is as amazing of a teacher as he is a chocolatier.
