Chocolat Céleste

This is a fantastic little gem but hard to locate. You will find it on the side of a building in an industrial type park. Staff is very friendly and the owner is often present.The chocolates are beautiful and taste as great as they look. The flavors change but if they have one with blood orange it is a must. No preservatives - ever. Makes a really great gift or stop in and purchase by the piece.

I wish I'd read earlier that Amy Z sometimes lunches at Chocolat Celeste, because I have invited her along for my chocolately lunch today. I popped in today at noon, and before I knew it, I'd indulged in their signature truffle, the Sweetie, which was filled with sweet Frangelico indulgence. It felt and tasted sinful. Silky lusciousness.Shouldn't I have had a more balanced meal, like a soup and salad? Wouldn't I feel better about myself if I'd consumed some vitamins instead? Screw that...it's cold and grey outside and I needed a pick me up. Besides, doesn't chocolate have antioxidants?

I've used this chocolate shop several times when giving people chocolates. They do have very good chocolates, and recipient are usually very happy. However, two negatives that are worth mentioning. The chocolates are pretty expensive, and the owner is a little rude. Not sure if I'll continue to go there again.

We had driven by the sign on Cleveland and University a number of times but decided to go in. The giant sign tells you where to go. Product is fabulous and the owner gave us a tour. They are great for specialty and special event occasions.

Mmm... chocolate. If you're going to spend money on chocolate, don't get the cheap waxy stuff. Get this stuff. I mean come on, you're worth more than generic chocolate--and you're already spending the money and calories. Go good or go home.Chocolat Celeste makes their chocolates large and super-rich. You might even be able to save a truffle for two servings. I mean, I doubt it, but there's certainly enough there for the iron-willed to do just that. Definitely worth the splurge in price and in diet. :)

Stopped by Chocolat Celeste last night for their open house at their new location. My husband is a chocoholic and he introduced me to truffles. He had been going to Chocolat Celeste for years and is a big fan of their Celestial Sweetie truffle.While I don't consider myself a true chocolate lover, I can still appreciate the truffles at Chocolat Celeste. Each truffle is homemade and always perfectly rich and creamy. I love trying new flavors to discover which ones I like best. At the open house last night, there was wine from Alexis Bailey vineyard as well as delcious turtles and flourless chocolate whiskey cake from Chocolat Celeste. As long as they are open, I know we will keep coming back to fill my husband's chocolate craving.

Hidden gem! These chocolates are amazing and probably the highest quality and very fresh in the Twin Cities if you're looking for the best.

To start off, the location is a little bit tricky to notice; thankfully there is a large sign to guide your way. The chocolates were beautiful, but very pricey; $18.00 for 6 left me feeling a bit anxious. The flavor of each was nice enough, the texture sublime and the aesthetic most pleasing, but for a few of the pieces, the depth of flavor was just not a bang for the buck. Rather than just reading from the description cards, I wish that the sales person who helped us knew a bit more about each type and could have made recommendations based on what we were asking; we were left floundering a bit.

Oct 2019, i bought a 24 pack to take as a gift to friend in D.C., a world traveler who fancies fine chocolates. She adored them. her spouse, who does not care for chocolates, found them to be a very, very good.i don't know how i have never made a pilgrimage to this store before. these are by far the best chocolates in the twin cities, and could stand up to anything you find in SF or NYC. the quality of the ingredients are apparent, starting with the chocolate coating and the cream inside. the flavors are wonderfully balanced and pure. so many choices. i can't wait to try the flavors that were not in season when we went.i found the price reasonable, especially after traveling to every location for chocolates i could find in the twin cities that week. i saw sloppy handwork, cheap ingredients, & fillers for tidy sums. what a relief to find perfect looking truffles whose textures & flavors were bliss to eat at chocolate celeste. if you know anything about the price of good ingredients, you know that these prices are fair. mary leonard, the owner & product developer, spent a generous 20 minutes with my mother & I, explaining her background, company history & choices in the business. she is deeply knowledgeable & quite personable.i noticed someone wrote a rvw calling the owner racist. i am full chinese & experienced only courtesy by Ms. Leonard. often i have been asked "what are you?", never taking it as a racist question, but as simple curiosity. yes, i have been treated sub-humanly as a female & asian. i know the difference. if the party is not offended, i don't think others should pass judgement.

I wanted to give the family something really special during this COVID time. No longer living in Minnesota but remembering how wonderful this chocolate was, I thought this was the perfect gift. It arrived in Annapolis today. Shipped perfectly and was as wonderful as I remembered this wonderful chocolate to be. I am so glad I ordered it. Thank you for making life even better!
