How we picked these
Every shop here comes from public Google business data, and qualifies because Google tags them as chocolate artisans, they sell truffles or bonbons, or their Google description calls their chocolate handmade, small-batch, artisan or gourmet.
We rank by weighted rating so a handful of five-star reviews cannot outrank years of consistent ones. Hours and phone numbers come straight from each listing, and anything missing is marked as missing.
