The Chocolate Bear

The chocolates were delicious and the owners were really nice and friendly. Definitely a must visit in waynesville.

The Chocolates here look delicious and there is an amazing selection. They did seem a bit pricey, but it is artisan chocolate, so I wasn’t really shocked. I am only giving three stars because I don’t think it’s fair that I rate them any more since I just browsed around in here, but didn’t buy. (I had just purchased truffles at a bakery down the street and couldn’t really justify another chocolate purchase just a few doors down) However, next time I am in the area I will opt to go here rather than the other place, whose truffles were TERRIBLE. It’s a cool little shop regardless though, so the 3 stars are for décor and selection.

High end chocolate shop in little olé Waynesville, NC.
We walked in and were amazed at the amount of chocolates, truffles, shooters, chocolate in general! All the chocolate looks perfect and pristine.
It was hard to make a decision on what to buy! There was a younger girl in there that was very helpful and told us her favorites, we ended up taking home 4 truffles, one shooter and two chocolate covered cherries.
I was asking the older lady at the register if a certain truffle was gluten free she said se was not sure as the chocolates came from all over. I don’t know why but I found this interesting that it was a big buy local town and the chocolate was not local.
Pretty pricey-​$ 3.50 for the truffle, $ 2 something for the shooter and the cherries were around $ 2.00 as well.
As of tonight we have tried two of the truffles, one was the flavor the young girl recommended, I didn’t taste any jalapeño in it. The other was the wedding cake, a gorgeous white truffle so pretty-​such a disappointment in flavor :(tasted like white chocolate! That is not what wedding cake Tastes like!
Jason’s shooter (these are made w alcohol) he said it was tasty and not heavy on the Baileys (sad face for him).
The chocolate covered cherry was probably my favorite so far. We have two more truffles to try! Hope they are better than the first two.
