Mouthwatering Chocolatiers & Shops in Cincinnati

Ruby's Chocolates

★★★★★ 4.9 (23)

"I went out of my way to get some of these delicious truffles. I first tried one of Ruby's truffles at the Cincinnati Food and Wine Festival. I might have been one of those people who had 3 samples (sorry, not sorry). Later in the event I went back for more and was sad to learn that they were out. But, I recently found out they had a store in Oakley and went that day. First of all this store is super cute. There is a sitting area for you to sit and enjoy your goods. It also is a good place for a quick photo op with the "Here Comes Truffle" sign behind you. Ok, here comes the food stuff. I practically ordered the whole store. My order consisted of the, get ready for it .... the bacon brownie truffle. Yes, that's a thing. The red velvet truffle, cookies and cream truffle, and the carrot cake phatty cake (which I do believe is only offered at the Oakley location). It was tough to only limit myself to these items but I did it! All of them...I repeat all of them were soooooo good! Moist delicious and that bacon brownie truffle is a thing of beauty. If calories weren't a thing, I could have eaten at least 20 of them. I can't wait to go back, I'm already thinking of my order."

Tickled Sweet

"This is just the most adorable shop in the heart of downtown Old Milford. Another gem to this community. There are nice tables out front and plenty of free parking nearby. The staff was so friendly and helpful. They have everything here from small gifts, to bags of coffee, every candy on earth, fudge, macarons, and even cards! I tried some fudge, got a cute mothers day gift, snagged one of their last St Pattys Day hot chocolate bombs, and tried the macarons. Everything was great and I know the gift will be loved. As it was off season, they did not have chocolate strawberries readily available, but if you call ahead they will make them by request! I cannot wait to come back and try those among other things!"

Bellbrook Chocolate Shoppe

★★★★★ 5 (11) • $$

"Been shopping here for so many years...when it began it was actually in Bellbrook! Betty Blose makes a special blend of milk and dark that has repeatedly been voted Best in Dayton. Everything is made from scratch, and you'll still find Betty here on occasion, but I believe she's pretty much placed day to day operations with her family.During these uncertain Covid 19 times I hesitate to go out, but I know these people and I know they will exercise every precaution. And it just wouldn't be Easter without their candy! I was the only one in the store but employees on a recent afternoon and they even shared their personal grass for my basket to save me another stop. Cause that's how they treat all their customers...just like family. Had so much fun deliverying to family porches, ringing their doorbell and waving to them when they picked it up. They were all thrilled, just as I am with my own personal stash. When you're craving sweet, this is the place to go!"

Ruby's Chocolates

"4 stars for the chocolates and 1 extra for the amazing customer service! Certainly good cake truffles. I first tried Ruby's Chocolates at Martha Stewart's Food & Wine Festival in October in Cincinnati. They were featuring their Red Velvet and Turtle Cake Truffle. They were amazing, so I figured I had to actually go to their location and try more. When I looked up their location, I was surprised to find they are 8 min away from my house. I was super excited. I went by and tried them! I was greeted by Ali, the son of the owner. I also believe he is the Selling/Marketing Director. He gave AAMAZING customer service and was very personable. I ordered the bite size truffle box (12 truffle minis in a box). They had premade ones but I wanted my own flavors. They did this with no question asked or frustration. I had to wait 30-40 min for my custom box to be made but I talked to Ali for the most part. The owner, also came out and spoke as well. I had my youngest daughter with me (3 mon) so they both were admiring her. This business is a mom and two son trio. The other son came out as well at the end! All are very sweet! It was Halloween and the owner's birthday so they threw in 3 chocolate covered Oreos for my oldest daughter (3 year-old). How freaking sweet was that?! The chocolate covered cake truffles I got were Red Velvet, Key Lime, Turtle, Maple Bacon, Cookies and Cream and Chocolate. All of them were good and of course lent a different flavor. I'm not a big Key Lime fan but believe it or not the Key Lime flavor was very good! All of the truffles had a tender moist center with a chocolate outer shell. My favorite was probably Key Lime. I'm normally a huge Red Velvet fan but something about the way they make the Key Lime, stood out to me more. The Cookies & Cream was also very good. The Maple Bacon was good and different. Also, the truffles are pretty rich (especially the chocolate ones) so a 12 mini box will last you awhile. We still have over half a box in the fridge. They store well in the fridge. We take small bites out of them just for a sweet fix and put them back.Overall, Ruby's Chocolates has amazing customer service and good chocolate treats. This place is good for gifts for friends or family depending on the occasion. Definitely give them a try."

Winans Coffee & Chocolate - Dayton Feedwire

★★★☆☆ 3.4 (12)

"This place needs to look into a app called joes coffee to help expand their business because they have a great product more people need to know about."

Esther Price Candies & Gifts

★★★★★ 4.6 (5) • $$

"A former boss of mine, originally from Dayton, gifted me a 2 lbs box of assorted milk chocolates last Christmas. Probably one of America's top chocolatier. I rate this better than Sees Candies and Ghiradellis, and on par with Godiva and Lindt. I decided to return the favor the next time I came to visit my in-laws who live here part of the year. It wasn't long after that I was referred some more business from him. As they say, "one hand washes the other." Looks like I'll be coming back for more later."

Ruby's Chocolates

★★★★★ 4.7 (3)

"Happened to wander by this gem while walking through OTR and Findlay Market. Super cute old-fashioned, yet elegant vibe. The young lady working the counter was super helpful and quite knowledgeable about the store brand and the individual pieces. Bought a collection of pig truffles (visit was shortly after the Flying Pig Race). There were two types: vanilla interior and rich chocolate, both with the adorable pig heads. I purchased mostly the small sizes. They were sooo yummy that I popped over to buy another set of 6 large truffles of assorted flavors a few days later when I was in the area for an event.Purchases are packed up in beautiful gift boxes and pretty pink bags that you won't want to throw out. Reuse as a gift bag!!"

Dinser Chocolate

★★★★★ 5 (1)

"We had Dinser chocolates gifted to us for Christmas! I don't live in the area so I've had a difficult time finding the yelp page. The chocolate made by the chocolatier and owner of the shop is absolutely delicious and unique. I'm so grateful that I got to try them and can't wait until they are open again so I can order more! I especially like the raspberry caramel filled ones. My husband enjoyed the mint chocolate and Christmas white chocolate mint. Also, I just called the shop recently (during the Covid-19 mess) and the answering machine had me cracking up. Update: When I called this week there hours after reopening have changed a bit. Open 11-7 Tuesday thru Friday. Sat 9am-3pm."
