Ah, February — the month of Valentines, flowers, hearts and our favorite: chocolate! Lucky for us, there’s plenty of local chocolate treats to try throughout Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky.
Here are a few chocolatey businesses that Yelpers love. Satisfy your sweet tooth at these 5 Cincinnati chocolate confectioneries:
The Fawn Confectionery
Western Hills and Rookwood
The Fawn Confectionery has been a long-time favorite of Cincinnatians since 1946. The business has two locations (one in Rookwood Commons and other on Harrison Avenue) and sells tasty treats like truffles, chocolate pretzels, turtles, buckeyes, and more! Not a chocolate fan (gasp!) that’s okay, The Fawn still has ya covered. Stop in for hard candies, carmels, and other classic treats. Whether you’re looking for the perfect gift for the chocolate lover in your life, or you just need a little pick-me-up, The Fawn knows candy — it’s no wonder they’ve been around so long!
Maverick Chocolate Co.
Over the Rhine and Rookwood
With its central location right by Findlay Market, and its photo-worthy shop and chocolates, there’s a whole lot to love about Maverick Chocolate Co.! Chocolate bars, truffles and hot cocoa are just a few of sweet offerings that you’ll find at Maverick. Yelpers love this local biz for its quality chocolates, charming shop, and all around customer experience. Customers enjoy friendly service, free samples, and of course, the delectable “Bean-to- Bar” chocolate made in house.
