Dancing Bear Chocolate

My husband gave me a lovely heart shaped box of chocolate from Dancing Bear for Valentine's Day. I have really enjoyed them-- not only are they so lovely to look at, but they're also absolutely delicious! He also mentioned his interaction with the shop was helpful and amazing. A+ all around.

I was looking for ice cream shops on Google and came across this highly rated chocolatier/gelato/dessert shop so we went and checked it out. One of the gentlemen greeted us as soon as we walked in and was very kind and told us about their offerings. He gave us a sample of their European style “sipping” hot chocolate which was so delicious and rich. We were there to get gelato which they don’t serve in the fall/winter, but they had pints and cups in the freezer for purchase. We got a cup of the chocolate hazelnut, which had chopped hazelnuts inside, and a cup of the tres leches, which was out of this world—it was so thick and delicious. I also got a double chocolate sourdough brownie to try later and it tasted like fudge. If you love chocolate and gelato, I highly recommend checking them out! Their goods are a bit on the pricier side, but worth it for the quality and for supporting a small business. It looks like a gift shop when you walk in, which I was not expecting, but they have their desserts, including chocolates, cookies, cakes, and pastries, on display.

The chocolate gelato was really good! And the almond clouds were delicious. I really didn't have an appetite for anything sweet at that moment but was curious about the taste. After I tried a bite, I ended up finishing it and ate another. It was really good. I'm really glad I tried this place.

Will definitely go back for movie nights.

Obsessed with this hidden gem! The variety of treats and chocolate is amazing and reasonably priced. The key lime was so tart. German chocolate cake was almost like a brownie texture which I liked.
They have a cute little patio area to sit and hangout by the sidewalk/street.

We can’t wait to come and get dips and desserts for our future gatherings.

If you love chocolate, this is the place for you! Not only that but you will be helping a small business owner! Doing good while eating good! This place has awesome Kodiak Dark Chocolate Gelato, hot coco that’s like melted chocolate (literally) and awesome treats to match it up like a homemade pimiento spread plus a mango curd! There’s just a lot of nice things to try! Definitely worth the trip!
