This family-owned chocolate shoppe runs on the excellence of its chocolates and other assorted sweets, and it doesn't fail to deliver. It serves a variety of cookies, chocolates, and the eponymous creamy truffles. The truffles are exquisite, finding just the right balance of creamy smoothness. The staff know chocolate in many of its form and are happy to answer questions. This place is now known as Chocolate Geeks, as they've expanded beyond truffles (although they still serve those!).

This is a shop in the heart of Essex. The cookies are excellent, and the truffle shots are simply superb. Service is quick and friendly too.

Truffle shots-an anticipated highlight of our trip was CLOSED due to Covid. Only online orders. We were so disappointed. I’m not sure why they couldn’t have a take out window to serve visitors.

We were walking up the main street when we came by this place. The place has unique chocolate expressions. We tried one there and purchased many to go. We told one of our daughters who was not with us about this place and she ordered a number of them as a gift for her sister's birthday.

Stopped in here while visiting Essex, got the dark chocolate and sea salt caramel and dark chocolate and sour cherry. These are served in tall shot glasses, they are expensive yet delicious, buy them and have them for a nice late night dessert, we were staying in a hotel so this was great for us late at night, the cost ranges from 6.50 a glass to 9.50 a glass, it's worth the splurge!

The sample of the truffle was delicious; the warm cookies were scrumptious which included the same chocolate, a taste of butter and sea salt. A perfect dessert on a chilly November day.

Loved the truffle shots - bought the one with salted caramel and the other with peanut butter. The proprietor is friendly and so interesting to talk with. Highly recommend stopping in.

We saw their sign for fresh chocolate chip cookies and man were they good! They gave us a sample of the truffle shot and it was also fabulous! I wished I was more hungry and could have had an entire shot!
