“My experience in your store was a great one. I was just coming home from Michigan and returning to Chicago from a really sad event and I happened to wander off into your store. The smell of the truffles warmed up my heart instantly. I got some for my friends at home but didn't get any for myself. My friends told me it was the most delicious thing on earth! I will definitely make the trip to get more of those heavenly treats.”

“This past weekend, my boyfriend and I were cruising the wineries in the Coloma area and were directed to The Chocolate Garden. What an incredible find!! Being a true chocoholic, I appreciate great chocolate. . .however, I have never in my experience tasted anything as great as YOUR chocolate! I took one bite as I sat in the car ready to leave, but ran right back into the shop to express my complete and ecstatic joy over the taste and texture of the Milk Chocolate Hazelnut truffle I had just bitten into. I didn't want it to end! We came back the very next day to buy more and I will continue to purchase your fabulous creations. Congratulations on a truly wonderful product!!.” Jan Holiday ScheduleThe Chocolate Garden is only closed a few days a year.

“My husband and I traveled to your cute shop several weeks ago just to purchase your chocolates. We had read about them in our local paper and you were only about an hour away so we decided to make a day trip of it. Well, we were so impressed with our purchase of the Full Bloom Assortment that I have just ordered a package for my mother and oldest daughter who is also a mother of two sweet children.
They were the most flavorful and silky chocolates I have ever eaten and yes, I have eaten Belgium chocolate!!!
Thank you so much for following your heart and creating these sinful treats for us. . .may you always be blessed in your business.”

“As soon as I read about The Chocolate Garden, I knew I had to bring my wife Elaine--an unrepentant choc-o-holic--to your store for our anniversary. All the way from Kalamazoo to Coloma we played a version of "Twenty Questions" as she tried to guess where I was taking her. Since she knew nothing about The Chocolate Garden, coming there was completely unexpected. When we pulled in your drive her eyes got as big as saucers. 'A chocolate garden?!? A chocolate garden?!? You found a chocolate garden?!?' She kept repeating it over and over. Then we walked into the store. The beautiful basket of flowers you helped me order and have delivered looked absolutely spectacular on the counter. Elaine was totally, completely surprised by both the flowers and your shop. She spent nearly half an hour deciding on the perfect (for this moment) truffle assortment. In the hour we spent in your shop, talking with you, enjoying a Trufflatte and your company, we feel we made a new friend, a friend we hope to visit often. Oh, yes--the truffles...my god, the truffles! you described them as 'intense'. You didn't tell us that the taste, the wonderful intense flavor lingers on the palate long after the last of the chocolate has melted away. Thank you for your graciousness, your hospitality, your help in arranging for the flowers, for sharing this special day with us, and oh yes, for those incredible, amazing truffles!” John & Elaine |
