If you love chocolate, you will love this place! The chocolate torte is sensational!
Excellent chocolate shop. Not cheap but truly fine chocolates. People are very friendly and helpful.
Gearhart chocolates are subpar. The flavors are muted. The only one that stood out was the Earl Grey. I saw your brand at Monticello, and decided to find your location to buy direct, hoping it would be fresher, and a broader selection. The items available at the gift shop in Monticello were not in your store in Charlottesville. I purchased the large box of chocolates, with two of each. The candy did not taste fresh or flavorful! I do NOT have an issue spending nearly $65.00 on a box of chocolates, but I expect the quality, freshness and flavor to be sublime. The quality and value are completely missing. Gearharts greatly missed the mark!
Omg, a little slice of heaven. This shop has everything for chocolate lovers, even great gluten free and dairy free options for those with food allergies. The staff takes this to another level with their personality and extensive knowledge of the sweet products on display! A great addition to Charlottesville.
Best chocolate ever!! Thank you to one of the owners for helping us with our car problems.
I live in Richmond, so when I buy Gearharts for myself, I go to their shop on Libbie in Richmond, which is presumably equally yummy and delightful. But mostly I order online as a gift for someone I'm trying to impress. People I'm trying to impress say Gearharts is the best. I love it too, but theirs is the opinion that really matters. Anyhow, people who matter adore Gearharts. I order a selection of all the dark truffles. If you try to be more precise, be my guest, but the selections are rare and distinctive, so if you haven't tried it before, you maybe can't understand what it's like in real life. So if you haven't been to the shop in person, you probably want to order a selection. The website isn't optimal, but the service is great if there is a problem and you explain the situation. If there is a problem, typically, either it's that the website didn't give you the option of specifying the shipping date. If you order for Valentine's Day, that's not an issue. But for a birthday or anniversary, you need to TELL THEM the date for shipment. Also, I didn't see an option for a gift card/inscription. This is absolutely not a problem. You just need to email them to explain the situation and they will fix it.
Preordered truffles for a Christmas present. Loved the store need to return after the Holidays.
The best in Charlottesville. Everyone loves a Gearharts box!
Yum! My mom and I send these to each other from halfway across the country. They’re so tasty.
Renowned throughout the Shenandoah Valley, Gearharts produces the finest chocolate brownie ever created: deeply rich, chocolaty and irresistible. The fine chocolates are also divine. A trip to Gearharts is a trip to chocolate heaven.
