Amore Chocolates & Gifts

Old Town Bellevue has some of the best food offerings, Amore Chocolate tops the list. The dark chocolate truttles are the best we found. (and we have tried our share of chocolate turtles) I needed a unique 'birthday' cake, they helped create the most awesome Dark Chocolate Turttle 'Cake'. It is a happy place to shop so stop in and say hi. Brenda and her staff greet you with a smile, you can watch them create the chocolate confections. Don't miss the Chocolate Dipped Oreo Cookies with a latte. What better treat or gift for someone, homemade chocolate! Enjoy! Put it on your To Do list. Pros: High quality chocolate confections, handmade, presentation very classy Cons: closed sunday, you just have to plan around that more

I wandered in here on a whim, just strolling through Bellevue, the day before Valentines Day. What a find! The shop itself is plesantly quaint (if a bit much for a claustrophobic) with standing room for about 3 people (no joke; all three of us customers were quite tighty packed in). There are dozens of flavors, including traditional dark chocolates, caramels, and the like, with more exotic selections, like Port Wine, Chinese Five-Spice, Cardamom Spice, and more. The service was wonderful (""are you SURE you don't want to try a sample?""), and the woman who took my money also thanked me warmly for the contribution of mear pocket change to their tip jar. \r \r I WILL be returning. Frequently. Pros: Hand-made truffles, cozy atmosphere, friendly staff, fair prices... the list goes on more
