Good, Homemade Chocolate Shop? (Raleigh, Carrboro: coop, homes, restaurant)

[Nene817]

My parents came to Raleigh over the Thanksgiving weekend and brought with them some of my favorite chocolates from the local candy store we had in Rochester (if anyone's from Rochester, I'm talking about Stever's on Park Ave).

I got to thinking, I need to find a place like that in Raleigh. Anyone know of a candy/chocolate shop in the area that makes their own chocolate on premise and has a good selection?

Thanks!

I feel your pain! I'm from Cheektowaga and too miss my chocolates...
Every year for Christmas I order SPONGE CANDY from back home, infact I already ate my allotment for today! LOL

We got a gift basket from Pulte from Chocolate Smiles. The chocolate was delicious.

I agree with Chocolate Smiles. Very good chocolate made in-house.

Can't recall the name, but there's a shop in Carrboro near the coop food store on Main St. Sort of by Elmo's diner.
You might also try Kilwyn's ( sp?) which is off High House. Shopping center has Red Bowl Asian restaurant, a Rite Aid, etc. They sell ice cream, chocolate, apples, etc.

Not sure if they make their stuff on site but it is definitely local: Escazu in Glenwood South.

Escazu def make their own stuff and its really good.

Matthew's Chocolates on the main drag of downtown historic Hillsborough. Sublime.

I'm from Rochester, too. I always thought we needed a good family-run chocolate place around here (in Raleigh). Where's Andy's Candy's when you need them? Especially at Easter!
