Glarus Chocolatier

YES it’s overpriced but this chocolate is absolutely amazing. Smooth, creamy, perfectly sweet with just a touch of salt. Love love love the chocolate bars here. Simple yet perfect. If you are looking for a gift for a chocolate lover, this is the place to splurge!

Wonderful locations eludes an appeal to luxurious chocolate at elevated prices (they must pay their rest right?) Don’t get me wrong, the chocolates are quite exquisite, specially the chocolate covered expresso beans. The attendant although extremely friendly in nature is quite ineducated in the art of chocolate making.

This shop is a Baltimore gem. Nice selection of chocolate treats. My personal favorites are the almond bark and hazelnut truffles. Staff is nice and the shop is super clean and decorated really nicely.

This is excellent chocolate for an excellent price. The champagne truffles in particular and reminiscent of stella’s bakery in rockville, but their other chocolates are great. Hazelnut, and the coffee truffles are my two favorite.
This is coming from a man who eats marcolini anniversary bars.
I like to scoot up, buy a few chocolates in a bag, and just eat them throughout the course of the day.
Their store design is excellent with the muted tones of a conched vat of chocolate. Non-​truffle products are delicious as well. Highly recommended for gifts, and for those days where you find out that the redskins drafted a fucking quarterback with their 4^th round pick, after drafting RG3. Why the hell would we do this? Why is my team the worst team in the universe, and why do I love it? It’s like an abusive girlfriend with a sick rack.
I digress. Go here for chocolates, ok?

Best chocolate I’ve ever had in my life!
I’m always watching my weight/​calories when it comes to dessert but not this time. This was the first time I’ve ever enjoyed something SO much that I just let myself indulge. I can’t wait to visit this place again.

Chocolates were excellent! Service was very friendly. I grew up in the country, down the street from a chocolate shop. These chocolates reminded me of the quality of those I grew up with. Not an overwhelming amount of products to choose from, but I was impressed with the cleanliness of the shop, the taste of the chocolates and handmade truffles. A winner for someone needing a sweet treat after dining in little Italy.

I’ll give you $ 100 to you if you can find one thing wrong with this place… and don’t say it’s too expensive because it’s worth every daggone penny and you know it.
I bought three little slightly bigger than marbel-​sized truffles for $ 4.45 and I have no problem admitting that. It was absolutely perfect: bite-​size and minimal guilt. Milk chocolate, buttery white chocolate, and hazelnut nut… all with a softer chocolate on the inside. Just enough to satisfy my sweet tooth and make me happy! The hazelnut was the best, but they were all delightful, as was the owner Ben, who was personally on hand to help me with my purchase!
Glarus chocolates make the perfect gift… especially if you are buying for me (hint, hint, hint!)
Note: strawberries dipped in chocolate are seasonal only, so don’t expect to get it all the time.

During christmas of 10′ the property manager of harbor east gave this chocolate for a gift to all business in the area.
A spread of dark, milk and white chocolate. Our dark was rich and very good. Great blend of cocoa most likely 70% and was a personal favorite. The milk was very silky good, exactly what I want in milk chocolates, they also we’re almonds infused. And finally the white chocolate had cranberry and nuts infused as well. All were excellent.
I was then forced to visit to check the selection out and was very impressed.
Until recent I became a fan of chocolate and salt. And here dark chocolate with pink salt (sorry for the the lack of area of origin) was amazing. Though the cost was expensive it was worth it, even for the few pieces I got.

This chocolate is top notch. The flavor is intense and incredibly addictive so it tough for me to stop with just a few bites. I have yet to really lay out all the high end chocolate bars out there and do a taste test, but the chocolate here is better than some other local chocolatiers. Even the milk chocolate has an intensity I just can’t find anywhere.
As for selection? It’s not dizzying but this is how its done when you don’t use any preservatives and make everything in small batches. You can’t crank out tons of variations and then let them sit on a shelf for weeks or months.
What is available is more than enough for people who really like good chocolate. The truffles are amazing. The cocoa-​powdered dark chocolate almonds are absolutely my favorite followed by the mocha bark (highly recommended).
Ignore the high-​end look outside ad its all about branding. This is not cheap chocolate, but the owners and the staff are friendly and down to earth. The high-​end packaging absolutely makes it a great gift idea for someone. The only drawback is that you’ll get so spoiled that you’ll never want to eat «regular» chocolate again.

Good as Recchiuti, but, unfortunately, with fewer selections. They actually have a butter truffle that is so creamy and lovely! Yum! The champagne truffle is very good, too. What am I saying, they are all good!

Glarus is a nice, hidden gem in Harbor East. It took a while for me to go in because the outside makes it look like a fancy, intimidating boutique… and it definitely looks that way on the inside, too. But don’t worry, the people who work there are very friendly and helpful!
It has a simplistic, modern feel when you walk in, as does the chocolate. There aren’t too many things to choose from but you’re bound to find something that you like, from a truffle to chocolate covered nuts. If you’re a dark chocolate person I recommend the dark coconut bar. It’s not the best chocolate I’ve ever had but it is pretty damn good!

We LOVE Glarus!
Walking into Glarus is such a nice experience, especially when it’s cold outside. They’ve got a warm, dark brown interior and simple, attractive displays that are fun to explore. I love their branding from a design perspective and also because it really communicates what they’re about – quality, small batches, and a really friendly, warm attitude. If you’re buying a gift for someone, their simple, elegant packaging really ups the special-​ness factor.
Chocolate shops in the mall have a dizzying variety of different truffles but Glarus has a nice, solid set of options that won’t make your head spin. Instead of having 16 different types of champagne truffles just for commercial gimmicky-​ness, they have one really delicious one. There’s one seasonal truffle and that’s really cool. They don’t do goofy, commercial stuff for Easter and then mark it all down to 75% the next day or anything like that. Their selections remain the same (maybe the ribbon color changes) and that’s something I really respect.
We’ve only seen two different people behind the counter and have found both super friendly and fun to interact with. They give practical, useful advice if you want it and don’t try to push you to purchase anything you don’t want. Picking out your truffles becomes this fun, exciting experience rather than just some commercial transaction – more like picking out a bottle of wine at a nice restaurant but never snooty.
You can get hot chocolate, truffles, chocolate bars (Balinese sea salt! Coconut!) and strawberries dipped in chocolate, too.
Definitely check out Glarus when you’re catching a movie at Landmark or going to dinner by the harbor. Yay for local businesses!

Chocolate chocolate chocolate.
Their lavender truffle is amazing, not much lavender essence, but ridiculously lush chocolate. I literally took one bite and was overtaken by the lusciousness of the velvety truffle filling.
Very nice sales associate as well. Great little European style chocolate shop. Their chocolate is made up in Timonium, I hear.

I’m a little surprised this place hasn’t been Unilocaled. They have the best chocolate! The truffles are to die for! I use the chocolate pistoles for a chocolate icing for a chocolate cake, and my family lost it! Mind you, I have been using ghiradelli for a bit, after using their chocolate, it changed my taste buds! This place puts Lindt, and Godiva to shame… it is awesome!
