Sierra Nevada Chocolate

Slightly pricey, but to support a local establishment definitely worth it. Knowledge and service are grade A, bar none. A quaint little business where you can have coffee, satisfy the sweet tooth and also truly relax all at once. I've been a few times over the years now, and the truffles are terrific! They even have a nice little gold band to "seal the deal" if you're giving as a gift. It's almost like a bar, but for sweet-a-holics.

Cute, friendly, comfy shop. I wouldn’t consider it artisan chocolate by any means but has a good variety of chocolate products (truffles, covered fruit, toffee, caramels, Oreos etc). Based on the two truffles we tried (S’mores and black raspberry, raspberry, blood orange), the truffles are less traditional in that they are not really a ganache on the inside and are more of a mixture- eg the s’mores one had cream cheese and graham cracker in it making it almost like a cake pop, and the multi fruit one seemed almost like a buttercream).

So far I’ve tried the chocolate covered marshmallows and my husband tried the peanut brittle and we were really impressed at how scrumptious they were and not too sickly sweet, it was just right. Can’t wait to dig into the other chocolates we got. This is definitely saved on my fave list for many future visits. Thank god it’s an hour away so I can pace myself.

Can't say enough good things about this place. Service was awesome. Called and ordered a custom assortment of truffles to be shipped for Valentine's day. They made sure to have quick on-time delivery without costing me a bunch on shipping. We used to live in Reno, and frequent the shop. Nice to be able to get a taste of Reno every now and again. Flavors are my girlfriend's favorite. The only problem you'll have is deciding which truffle is your favorite, Champagne, Oreo, Cheesecake, and the list goes on!

Friendly chocolate store for sweet-tooths! (5/5 Green Stars) It was a hot day in Reno so I resisted the temptation to buy a load of chocolate and carry it around in my backpack. I opted for what looked like their two most popular bars – their Bordeaux bar and the Ritz bar. They cost $2 and $3, respectively, which is pretty impressive considering their size/weight and especially so because they’re made with Guittard chocolate. The owner and server were both friendly. I liked the bars even though I don’t normally go for such sweet chocolates (I rarely buy anything with caramel). Highly recommended if you do like your candy to be sweet (e.g., See’s Candy). I’m also giving Sierra Nevada Chocolate 5/5 Green Stars for social and environmental impact for the following reasons: • They use Guittard chocolate; most of Guittard’s cacao is Fair Trade and shade grown and some is organic. • Sierra Nevada Chocolate is a local woman-owned (/family owned) business. • They have partnered with Lighthouse coffee to brew their organic, fair trade coffee. • Was established in part to provide a job for their son, who has autism. Owners hope to expand on this. • My bars were delivered in a small paper bag, reducing unnecessary waste.
