Sweet Art

Great little place and some of the best chocolate creations ever. The owner was very friendly and very informative. The next time I’m in Bellingham I’ll pay this shop a visit.

Home town fan or visitors from out-​of-​town won’t find yummier goodies than this. All their creations are made onsite. Their Root Beer Float white chocolate candy is a personal favorite. I can’t wait to try their buttermints and their mint chocolate (molded in the shape of pale green fish). If you are a fan of fudge, you will be amazed at their chocolate fudge.
Candyholics, don’t miss this shop. The owners have been at this site for over 15 years.

The sweet smell of chocolate instantly hits you the moment you walk in. A large variety of chocolate treats. Huge treats to satisfy and chocolate/​sugar craving. Love helping out local businesses too. Enjoy!

Best Chocolate I have ever had. It is harder to say more than that. It has always been fresh and I can’t help but be in love with it. The carmellos are one of my favorites, but I have literally tasted nothing here that I didn’t like. It’s a little expensive, but you get what you pay for here.
The store is awesome itself. It is owned by a husband and wife: he makes the chocolate and she makes the beautiful art that adorns the walls. It is a very beautiful and inviting little shop. I purchased a painting and chocolates for my wife as her wedding gift from me. And when I went in there to pick the piece up the gentleman (who is in all honesty a little gruff and grumpy) gave me 15 minutes of marriage advice! The lady also does pet portraits which we are planning on having done for our cat at some point.
Don’t put it off any longer, go downtown and enjoy some great chocolate from a very charming couple.

Toffee is ridiculously good and the chocolates while semi-​expensive are still a great value due to being big enough to where it takes 2 to 4 bites for even the most voracious chocolate lover to consume one… Wish they had slightly more open ended hours but when you’re the best that’s the way it goes…

Super friendly shop owner and delicious chocolates! Will definitely stop by again whenever I’m up there.

The best chocolate I’ve ever had. The dark chocolate cashew clusters are the perfect treat. For my friend’s bridal shower a few years ago I asked them to make me 30 chocolate truffles as gifts. I picked them up and they were beautiful! I hope Sweet Art is open for a really long time!

I wouldn’t say that this is the best chocolate I have ever tried. I could detect no trace of hazelnuts in the hazelnut truffles. The caramel in the caramel bars was mostly sweet and without much caramel flavor. The shell chocolate around the truffles and bars seemed coarse. Probably won’t return.

SO GOOD. I cannot wait to go back. Tried it for the first time and am in love. We got 5 different truffles and each one was everything I was hoping for and more. The gentleman in the shop was very friendly too.

AWESOME! (The way chocolate should be.)

This Chocolate Store is amazing by far the best I have ever had! The couple that owns the place are so sweet and very talkative. The chocolate treats are so flavorful and delicate they just melt in your mouth! My personal favorites are fudge, the turtles and java jolts =)

This little shop is fantastic! I always go here when I am in the Bellingham area. The handcrafted chocolates are to die for. Everything that I have tasted here I have loved! My favorite thing that they make is the white chocolate turtle with cashews instead of pecans. They don’t have them year round, usually only around Easter. But they let me know that if I call ahead, that they are more then happy to make them for me! :)

This place is a gem!
This is one of my favorite chocolate shops in Bellingham (it’s tied with five stars with Chocolate Necessities). I love the giant truffles with creative names as well as the art that decorates the walls. I am a sucker for the style of art that is displayed in this shop and they sell chocolate… what more could you ask for?!
The other neat thing about this shop is that you can find them at the Bellingham Farmers Market (not always, but frequently enough) where they sell amazing macaroons. It’s been a couple years but last time I saw them at the farmers market they were raffling chocolate goats!
I really love this place. I enjoyed talking with the owners whenever I came in and delighted in buying chocolates for my family when I came home to visit. It is a great place for gifts for others, or even just yourself. Do you really need an excuse to buy chocolate?!

Wonderful little shop.
Totally handmade chocolates. Even the marshmellows used in the smores are handmade… Very reasonably priced (I think really under priced)
Best chocolates I have ever had.
The owners are a wonder older couple (he is also the candy maker)
If I could give this shop 20 stars I would.

This is the kind of place i dreamed of finding as a kid. It is a small space brimming with devine chocolate and unique and funky art. I love getting a box of chocolates from Sweet Art to give as a gift (or to have all to myself!) It is a must for any candy lover.

How is it possible that there isn’t already a review about this delicious candy shop? My only conclusion is that everyone is too busy stuffing their face with Sweet Art’s delicious chocolates to come up for air long enough to do anything else.
Sweet Art is owned by a lovely Bellingham couple. He makes candy. She paints pictures. And boy howdy, is his candy is good. Last weekend I found myself outside the shop around 5 PM on Saturday. They close at 4 so I was pretty bummed out. Then my friend noticed he was still inside, so I pressed my face up against the glass in the hopes that he would take pity and let me inside. He did!
After the free samples, I bought a huge hunk of the best fudge you’ve ever tasted, a gigantic dark chocolate truffle and something called a rootbeer float. That rootbeer float white chocolate truffle blew my mind. So creamy and scrumptious. So delectable and divine. A real life Willy Wonka. I felt a bit like Veruca Salt.
Don’t come here for pretty packaging of the deliciousness. It’s adequate with a simple, plain white box. There’s no ribbon or fancy paper. No special gift tags or wrapping paper. It really is all about the candy. This can be a great gift to give someone but don’t expect the packaging to wow anyone. The wows get saved for the flavor.
Every time I visit Bellingham I try to make it to this shop. Of course, a lot of times I end up standing outside making a puppy dog face and miserable because they’re closed and no one’s there to let me in. So, make a note! They’re only open 11 – 4 on Saturday and closed on Sunday.
Next time I make it there, I’m buying some of that chocolate drenched homemade honeycomb I spied in a giant jar on my way out. I can’t wait to go back.
