Im from NJ and ordered online because of Samantha Browns show Places to Love. I stalked-track my order via UPS. If I was Elon, I wouldve used a satellite. When I saw the UPS truck today I jumped with glee. The chocolate was thoughtfully packed and arrived in pristine condition. We tore into the box like the choco-fans we are and were NOT disappointed. It was ALL deliriously delicious!!The aroma, flavor, textures, and NO bitter after taste! Amazing! Thank you Kat and all who made it, packed it, and brought it!!

Amazing chocolate! Great variety and great customer service! They are able to get a feel for the kind of chocolate you vibe with and can recommend something for anyone! They are sure to make it right however they can. Highly recommend!

Dude, Sweet Chocolate was different than your average chocolate treat store. Atmosphere and flavors caters to adults. Multiple unique flavors including one made with goat cheese. They offer samples of any and all of their flavors upon request. They also offer several vegan chocolate too. Those can be hard to find. The Loco for Coco and FDA salami log were my favorite. They made very good vegan chocolate. Not cheap, but worth it for the taste.

This is probably the best chocolate I have ever tasted in the United States. I’ve had the best chocolate in Belgium, Switzerland, France and even Japan... I was completely surprised and totally impressed by the intensity of flavors and the quality of each flavor! I am a new fan and will definitely be back! Take the time to sample each flavor, the staff are more that happy to give you a sample of any flavor in the shop.

Our team was looking for a local chocolatier for custom corporate gift box for a rebrand launch. The Chocolate Salami was not only delicious, but felt far more personal and unique than using a Godiva or other premium chocolate. We loved the packaging and appreciated the personal service and delivery. We will use Dude, Sweet Chocolate in the future!Jennifer ParkerPresident & FounderImpact Brands

This is a real gem. The staff is so sweet and kind, and the products are just amazing. It was a warm day, so we ended up (in addition to the products we bought) going for the daily special, a frozen fudge sundae, and it was so refreshing! Not too sweet, and very well balanced with the whipped cream and banana chips. If you like dark chocolate - dont skip this place!

Great boutique chocolate shop! Was waiting for a table at Lucia that doesnt have much space. They suggested taking our wines into the next door chocolate shop to browse or sit while we waited. Pleasantly surprised. I dont love chocolate though found a bar with some heat and spice I really liked called Toga Party and a praline chocolate bar. Bought some of each!

I was given a gift box with a variety of products (chocolate bars, fudges, toffee, truffles, spreads. I have tried confections and chocolate products from all over the world and this was nearly the worst I have ever encountered. My family and I found most items inedible (they went straight in the trash). The Bam Bam Chocolate was the least offensive. Nevertheless,I would not buy any of the products I received. In a word “ABYSMAL.”

Review №28

I recently ordered some chocolate from here and was disappointed.The Loco for Coco bar was too salty, and the bacon fat caramel skulls had an overwhelming taste of bacon fat. Instead of complementing the sweetness of the chocolate, the strong tastes almost made it inedible.

I took my friend here for her birthday and she loved it! They have all types of gourmet chocolate and goodies here. They even have candles! Definitely check this place out the next time youre in the Bishop Arts District. You will not be disappointed.

Sample some of the weirdest, best, most unique chocolates ever. Personally Im a traditionalist so anything with Toffee, honey or caramel works for me. Small shop, not a place to sit or bring a big group but wonderfully unique place to buy a gift for chocolate lovers

I live in Canton, TX but my husband takes me to Dude, Sweet Chocolate at the Bishop Arts District. Absolutely love it. Staff are very nice. Stop in and try a sample. Since I live some distance away, I buy at least 2 boxes. Ask them about their program for frequent shoppers.

Review №41

The most heavenly, most perfectly made chocolate ones senses will ever have the privilege of experiencing. Any time I am even remotely close to a Dude Sweet location, I make a point to stock up on Chubby Nuts and Crack in a Box. I was sad to learn that the Ft. Worth location and one in Dallas closed. But, as long as Katherine Clapner is waving her magic chocolate wand, I will go how ever far is necessary to satisfy my obsession. Oh... and she beat Bobby Flay. ;)

Review №42

The owners are very friendly and helpful. Their knowledge of chocolates, truffles, fudges and everything else is pretty extensive. These guys are very creative and I enjoyed being able to sample whatever I wanted. I wish I had been able to try everything once because some of these types of chocolates they make blew my mind! Left very happy with my crack in a box squares.

Review №43

One of Dallas’ homegrown gems. Not sure you’ll like the variety? They are always willing to allow you to sample before you purchase. The staff is cool, knowledgeable, and helpful when figuring out a perfect gift - or something for yourself. (Okay maybe both).

Bro it’s expensive for sure the thing my friend bought was $12 BUT they give alllllllll the samples you want and are SUPER nice and funny people. Loved the place. FYI this was not a planned trip, I saw it on our way to dinner and decided to stop by and we both really liked the place and left laughing and with very good chocolate. For sure try the Chubby Nuts.

Interesting and unusual flavors and free samples of all the products. You wont find small colorful or decorative chocolates like in Valentines boxes, its mostly fudge with a few other chocolate related products. A bit on the expensive side but it is a boutique.

Always a good experience. We love the Chocolate salami. First time to try the fudge. We couldnt walk away without When Pigs Fly fudge. Yum.

Review №54

Nice chocolate shop that lets you taste test all is their goods. They dont really have any pure chocolate and cater towards sweeter mixed chocolate with non standard ingredients. Id highlight their salami chocolate which isnt salami but a mixture of chocolate with ingredients chosen by the maker. That was the most unique.

Review №55

Came here while touring Bishop Arts and my bf literally came looking for this place. It was hard to find since the sign is far away from the actual door, and it blends in with the brick and doesnt stick out. My only complaint. We stepped in and immediately were greeted by several people. We had all the samples we wanted and boy was it good. I enjoyed reading all the different types of chocolate and how they were made, created, and engineered. Very interesting, I will certainly recommend this place to people who come to tour. Wouldnt come all the way from home but definitely worth the stop while in town.

Lots of free samples. These dark chocolate handmade chocolates are outstanding. I tasted many and then chose a flowery orange and jasmine flavored dark chocolate. Marvelous!

Review №57

I didnt have time to taste samples of any of the chocolate while I was in the store so, I asked for a recommendation for dark chocolate and fruity and they suggested Fruity Crack Chocolate Bark. I purchased it, put it in my bag and left. After getting back home in Corpus Christi I final got to try it out and was completely disappointed by it. It has so much salt that I cant even eat a whole square of it. The rating is for the product itself since after contacting them I was informed I could exchange it out by coming back to the store but, I dont live in Dallas.

Dude,AMAZING chocolate!!!! I got the One Night Stand Potion chocolate sauce and drizzled it over some ice cream....holy COW this stuff is good.My girlfriend and I also went into the shop in Dallas.

The chocolate is very good, but the service was even better - the guy behind the counter was very friendly, and let us try samples of the chocolates before we bought them. There were so many choices that it was difficult to pick, but I dont think you could go wrong with any of them.

Im not a huge fan of Chocolate,...well I didnt used to be until I came here, I walked in with a friend and was immediately greeted and encouraged to try samples, as we did! I ended up falling in love with the Loco for Coco bar which is dark chocolate with coconut crisp, I will make the trip back to bishop arts just for this place, btw the bar set me back about $5, but it was worth it!
