Superior quality. You can taste the difference. Indulge and enjoy. Great customer service with plenty of smiles. Plan to pay for the quality but its so worth it. Gelato and of course lots of chocolate. Nice place to sit, sip and nibble.

I got the lemon basil ice cream and raspberry, so tasty and so fresh. Will be nack for sire when we visit again Asheville.

Big open area, lots of seating, and plenty of room for large groups and tours and still be within county guidelines. Mask up. The gelato is smooth and creamy and cleanses the palette leaving you wanting more. Neat flavors like PB&J, Lemongrass and Basil (vegan), Mango, Mint Stracciata, Cake Batter, Dark Chocolate, Coffee and more.. I got two scoops and that was plenty big.

Stopped in for some chocolates. The girl behind the counter was able to answer all of my questions in detail, providing information on ingredients, texture, and flavor. They did not disappoint! My favorites were Orient, Honey, and the piece de resistance, Aztec. Great service and great product. Best chocolate shop in Asheville.

Absolutely delightful shop with tasty treats and wonderful service. We came in the first night half an hour from close and were assisted by the owner. She gave us the perfect amount of space to make our selections, but was still readily available to answer questions. Our first experience was so positive that we ended up back our second night in town. I would highly recommend this shop to anyone. We enjoyed 7 different truffles and 3 flavors of gelato between the two visits and brought m&m bark home for the minions. Everything was phenomenal, with the chai truffle and gelato being my favorites!

We tried the sipping chocolate and Affogato (with gelato, espresso and whipping cream)

Good but ridiculously pricy. 850 a quarter pound and everything is double bagged so it really costs more. Again, tasty but not worth the cost

Best gelato in town ! Super friendly staff and owner. They make their gelato in house and always have great flavors.. beats french broad

Carson helped me make a box for a chocolate gift to bring back home. She was very knowledgeable on their assortments, asked questions about what kind of flavors they like, and had great recommendations to help balance out the different flavors I was combining. She was awesome.Great service and great chocolate quality. Almost all of their chocolate is made in house, as well.

Yummy pistachio ice cream and lemon sorbet.

The truffles are excellent. We havent tried any other chocolates yet, but they all look amazing. They also have gelato which we plan to try next time.

Great customer service & yummy large chocolates!

Highly recommend. We have been 3 times in two days. The blueberry lavender is an amazing flavor combination where both flavors come out and compliment each other. Of course there are other unique flavors as well. The dark chocolate was rich and reminded me of icing (in taste, not texture). Wonderful assortment of chocolate, too.

The gelato here is so delicious, went right before closing and it still tasted fresh. The chocolate is made in-house and you can tell! My family enjoyed the treats

This is a must if your in Asheville. Lots to choose from. Can’t wait to go back! Highly recommend this place

Delicious gelato, friendly staff, and awesome chocolate selection! You have to try the buttered popcorn gelato, its amazing. Such a cute local place.

Some of the most amazing chocolate! The best we have ever had! Staff was awesome!

The best beats and attention on this street.

When I asked what they had none dairy, they had more than a few options because their dark chocolate is vegan. I had the Oreo bark and the dark chocolate was very smooth. They also serve excellent gelatos and sorbets.

Fantastic chocolates, Nice vibe in here.Reaper one was 🔥🔥🔥🔥Watch out! Very Very tasty items.

New moon - dark chocolate, so smooooothe. One os not enough.

The truffles are delicious! My favorite was the chai truffle. My husbands favorite was the cappuccino truffle. The truffles are completely made on site and worth every penny!

I love this place. I had really REALLY been looking forward to having my Mexican hot chocolate and was CRUSHED when I was told that they dont have it anymore :( Something about their supplier....that was very disappointing!But they redeemed themselves with their gelato and sorbet. The sorbet was mojito flavored and bursting with freshness! Seriously, it was so bloody good!We had the cappuccino and dark chocolate gelato too and these are just scrumptious! We had the same thing twice in a row. The second time the wonderful server gave me extra gelato which I was EXTREMELY grateful for! He told me that they dont always have the mojito sorbet so if you see if there then you better get it!!!

Piece of heaven...We love this place! They (the owner made it for me) make the best hot chocolate- Death by chocolate!!! The store is trendy, relaxing and pretty. From decorations to displays is delightful. The chocolates, omg! The owner, a young lady, was super attentive and nice, so welcoming. It is a must go!

Very friendly staff! Very welcoming! Great coffee and delicious chocolate! Very happy.

Awesome place, location is prime, awesome, laid back vibe, employees are the best! Handmade truffles, gelato and the lattes are outta this world!

Great gelato. Friendly. Local.

Friendly staff. Delicious chocolate. The truffles are amazing! The hot chocolate is great on a cold day. My fiance got one of the hot chocolate sundaes (cant remember exactly what it was called), and it was awesome. We will definitely be returning.

Kids ordered truffles and loved the flavors. 3 different ones each. Husband had a ?Shots in the dark coffee and it tasted very good. Strong flavor as he loves it. I had milk chocolate with almonds. Which is a challenge cause almonds get moisty very easily. So it has room for improvement. Kid also had a raspberry gelato he loved. 3 scoops that disapeared so we believe him. All items priced accordingly. Big place to rest and recharge after walking. Very. Cozy and clean. Totally worth it and loved the photography exhibit. I hope to see more variety of chocolates when we visit. There is a lot of competition in the mountains so we look forward to the improvements. Super friendly staff. Give it a try.

We read about a lot of chocolate places in AVL, but stumbled upon this place after Mellow Mushroom. Highly recommend. Gelato was great! Staff was amazing!!

The Truffles are out of this world. Some of the best I have had. Unique flavors. Wasn’t crazy about the one with peppercorns in it. As good as the Truffles are, I was disappointed in the 72% Dar Chocolate Bar. Quite beautiful to look at but think the taste is sub par compared to their truffles

Genuinely friendly staff and some of the best chocolate Ive had!! Definitely try the Cayenne truffle! My kids had the gelato and what I tasted of that was fantastic too :)

Chai and mango ice cream is must eat 😋

Absolutely the best hot chocolate I’ve had ever! The staff is super friendly and they will give you good suggestions and even customize the drinks. It was quite chilly when wife and I visited and the hot chocolate warmed us right up. Would strongly recommend this place!

Oh my word! The gelato was to die for! And the chocolates- amaretto, lime, salted caramel, Irish cream, raspberry, on and on, were beyond description! Just let them melt in your mouth! Cool place, too.

Love this place. The coffee, chocolate, and workers are beyond awesome. Great addition to the Asheville vibe!

Excellent chocolates and good coffee.

I ordered strawberry and mojito gelato. It was delicious. The atmosphere is really good and the interior is wonderful. Chocolates seemed to be delicious.

I love this place! Super friendly staff and delicious treats that are mommy and toddler approved 😋

Not the best chocolate Ive had, but decent. The affogato was delicious.

Fantastic homemade Gelato and French press coffee. Very reasonable. $13 forc2 coffees and 2 double scoop Gelato. Staff was great. Clean restrooms. A couple of cute outdoor tables for 2, fun lounging and some AC tables inside. Chocolates looked great but didnt try.

This place deserves all the stars!!! Found by accident 3 years ago and couldnt wait to visit Asheville again and get some chocolate! Everyone is so friendly and welcoming! Chocolate is the best youll ever have!!! All the praise! ❤

Excellent service attention to your choice of gelato excellent variety of gelato and all of the staff was very helpful, the passionfruit was super tasty

All the chocolates tasted the same. Spend your money elsewhere.

The gelato was very tasty, and the chocolates looked delicious. The best thing was the hospitality of the staff though!

This is great little place for desert. Good atmosphere and music

Great gelato and truffles. Happy employees.

Best place for chocolate in Asheville.

Best dark chocolate ice cream ever! We tried the hazelnut and chocolate flavors a year ago, and while we were visiting this year my husband asked me to get both flavors of the same dark chocolate and he isn’t a big chocolate person so that means a lot! We enjoyed every little spoon of it and I’m still dreaming of it.

I was in a total bind doing finals online and was from out of town. I got ice cream and they let me use the wifi in the shop. The ice cream was SO good and the people were amazing. Some of the best customer service I had ever seen. They treated myself and several other customers with familiarity and kindness. Great chocolate and coffee too. I can not wait to go back.

Truffles are better than french broad chocolates in my opinion

Good pistachio ice cream!

A friend told me to stop here when in town. What a great recommendation! The staff is super friendly and they make delicious affogatos. Cool ambiance with lots of natural wood and attractive artwork. Truffles were excellent.

Good gelato and good service!

Super selection of Truffles & gelatos in the wonderful downtown Asheville area

Absolutely divine chocolate

Great shop. Fantastic chocolate.

First time visiting today & it won’t be my last. Such a great vibe and very friendly help behind the counter. The Gelato “tastes” convinced me to go with both a small cup of Mint and one Basil...delicious!!! Sorry, next time I’ll get pics of that instead of the amazing decor.

Was a little disappointed. Nothing extraordinary about the chocolates. Good service though.

If you dont stop in for pistachio gelato, youre wrong

Tried Gelato(Mango + BlueberryLavendar), another Gelato(Oreo + Dark choclate). Both were very tasty and nice ambience. Rebecca was very kind, greeting every customers and serving nicely. Will try again.

Delicious gelato and the most adorable truffles!

The chocolates here (and everything else) are divine! Dont miss the caramels. And many thanks to all of the ladies that work there for their extensive knowledge of their products and their warm, welcoming style!

Very friendly staff. Great selection and experience!

Nice chocolate store in town. Staff are nice and helpful.

Great gelato!

I really like the sorbet here. They have an excellent blueberry sorbet. The grapefruit, passion fruit, and mango as also good. Their chocolates are also good, but I like the sorbet better. If you are here and want to try the chocolate the Mexican is excellent. It is a cinnamon, vanilla, chili truffle. The contrast of sweat and spicy is very nice in this truffle.

This shop is absolutely delightful! The gelato is phenomenal, homemade, and rivals anything I’ve ever had in Italy! The chocolates are delicious and made in house. The staff is very gracious, helpful and hospitable. So glad we happened in this gem. Abby was particularly helpful and welcoming! ❤️❤️😃😃

Great gelato

Amazing hot chocolate and treats! Fantastic customer service :) ❤️

Yes thats a score of 100. Delicious!

The truffles are amazing and THE best chai latte I have ever had.

Amazing gelato and great service!

I wish I could give it more stars! I love this place, and have been going here since it was Chocolate Gems. The gelato is the best in Asheville and the staff is so kind and is always willing to have a conversation with me. The prices are dirt cheap for what you get, especially with the local discount. I Love Asheville Chocolate.

Delicious chocolate and coffee. Staff was warm and welcoming!

The mocha coffee is delicious! Comfortable vibe! Much better than the chocolate place where u have to stand in line

Such an incredible local shop. The people are very nice, have lots of chocolate knowledge, and take their time with you. Most importantly, you cant go wrong with the chocolate itself--whether its in truffle form, drink form, or gelato form. Its all phenomenal.

Very friendly service and atmosphere, good chocolate 🍫 😋.

The truffles my kids and I tried were delicious. Prices were typically high for truffles. $32ish for a box of 15. The employee had no personality though. Didnt smile. Was short spoken and somewhat cold. Cool looking place though.

Really excellent raspberry and chocolate chip gelato. The Cookies & Cream was the best Ive ever had. The ice cream was dark with the cookies and it was so smooth and velvety in-between the bits of cookie.

My husband loved the cookies and cream gelato. I had chocolate covered marshmallow and caramel chocolate covered oreo. Definitely a place to stop for a sweet treat.

What a gem this place was. Sweets are as youd aay to die for. The hardest part was selecting one over other. Cant wait to go back.

If you stop at Biltmore (as of 2021) they have gone with a cheaper knockoff source. Skip it. Just come here and get the real deal. Worth it.

Pretty good, and nice open area to enjoy your coffee and gelato.

Great coffee and tea, wide selection of chocolates and great prices.

Amazing gelato flavors, tasty coffee, and great service! What else do you need on a got summer day? :)

I’m very particular about my chocolates and have been a chocolate lover forever!Their chocolate and caramel turtles are just decadent!Great spot downtown near Pac Square to sit and relax and enjoy the scenery while having their very delicious chocolates!Marsha

Quaint little shop with delicious treats and coffee!

Fresh chocolate truffles

Great gelato! Huge portions and above average quality. Lots of space to sit. The employees were very nice

Amazing!

The handmade chocolates are wonderful and creative. They are what French Broad Chocolate Lounge used to taste like before they became another tourist attraction and opened a factory.

Amazing selection of chocolate truffles and more. Great service.

The best truffles I have ever had the pleasure of eating. Very balanced flavors with the right touch of sweetness.

We had the dark chocolate gelato with a scoop of raspberry. Delicious! Thank you

Loved the gelato, milk chocolate and peanut butter truffles and caramel! Staff was SUPER! Highly recommend. Debated on this place vs The French Broad. So glad we chose Asheville Chocolate!!!

Chocolate Torte excellent

Amazing! I usually dont like truffles or chocolate that much but everything i got (milk lavender and coffee caramel) was incredible. If you dont want to wait the mile long French Broad line the quality is very similar if not better

Very fancy dining setup and rich confections! Perfect for romantic outings, family celebrations and group hangouts!

Open for socially distanced shopping. Good chocolates, limited selection.
