Trop’s Chocolates

What a gem of a place! Friendly staff, very tasty chocolates and the best mocha ever! Try them… you’ll like them!

You just don’t know what really good chocolate is until you sample Trop’s. Recently I was in a mall, wanted something sweet so went into See’s. Nothing against See’s as they have been around for a long, long time, but the comparison of See’s to Trop’s is flat. Trop’s is sooo much richer and more deeply flavored. Plus they make customized candy gift boxes where the box ITSELF is made of the most delicious chocolate, not to mention the pieces inside. Total fun.

Wonderful friendly family business. Chocolate is so yummy ! Support your local shop and you will be in chocolate heaven

All around, the best of every thing!
Great chocolate, great coffee and great service.

Yes, Yummy chocolate made here in Gig Harbor

What a great place to seat down and enjoy a few pieces of good quality chocolates and a drink. They also have a bakery. This place is worth to try. Fantastic for personalized chocolate gift.

So happy to have this place in Gig Harbor. The milk chocolate grahams are to die for!

I was pretty shocked that this chocolate was THIS GOOD! I’m super picky and I just died when I tried it. I tried the milk chocolate truffle and the milk and dark truffle. Amazing.

Best chocolate I’ve ever had! Perfect choice for gifts as they have a lot of different customization choices… along with it being just the best chocolate concoction the world has ever seen.

Remember in CHITTY CHITTY BANG BANG, when Dick Van Dyke sings, «Truly Scrumptious» and dances & sings about his love for the candy factory owner’s daughter? Well, that was me today at Trop’s Chocolates Grand Opening — — only I don’t dance or sing, so it was all in my mind & my affection was directed at the trays of chocolate confections which owners Larry & Heather Trop had for their guests to sample!
I have been a big fan of Trop’s Chocolates for about 10 years. I first had their chocolates at Lakewood Playhouse and over the run of a winter play there became slightly addicted to Trop’s holiday chocolate lollipops and chocolate covered brownies. When the play was over, I was in despair, and withdrawal. Lucky for me, Trop’s began selling their wares at other local theaters, so although I overcame my weekly habit, I could partake in them every now & then, only falling off the chocolate wagon a few times each year. I kept from going too far in my dalliance with my love for their delicious chocolates by only going to plays I liked — — I had to draw the line somewhere!
When I heard Larry & Heather Trop were finally opening a storefront in Gig Harbor, I was thrilled. In fact, I yelled, «Yes!» so loudly and with an accompanying fist pump that was so dynamic, My Dear Hubby thought I had won the lottery!
Going to Trop’s Chocolates Grand Opening today was a dream come true!
My Dear Hubby & I showed a lot of self control today — — sampling only what was offered on trays — — we did not climb over the counter tops & reach into the shelves to help ourselves! However, we still sampled chocolate covered strawberries, truffles (caramel truffles, chocolate truffles, peanut butter truffles!) and pecan topped truffle mash-​up the My Dear Hubby suggested Trop’s sell separately by the pail-​full.
We came away with a relatively small amount of purchases, considering how much we loved EVERYTHING. We bought 4 dark covered truffles (to have later with a glass of wine), 2 chocolate covered graham crackers (1 dark & 1 milk) and 4 chocolate covered brownies to have for a special desert in a couple of days with our Eldest Boy Wonder & His Lovely Bride. I asked My Dear Hubby to hide the brownies from me because I really would like to be a good hostess & share them with the kids, but I don’t know if I can resist them!
I am truly very happy Trop’s Chocolates have a storefront in Gig Harbor now. I am planning to order some special holiday treats for friends & family. Also, they have a coffee bar set up and if the blended mocha we bought as an added treat was any example (not too sweet, plenty of rich chocolate, topped with real unsweetened whipped cream), Trop’s would be a great place to go for just a coffee. Haha! I could never buy just a coffee there!
