The Chocolate Bar

Located in the Village of West Greenville, our flagship shop is much more than a chocolate store.

Enjoy handcrafted truffles alongside craft cocktails, wine, charcuterie, desserts, and house-made ice cream.

Tiny Little Labors of Love

At LaRue Fine Chocolate, every piece is handcrafted using premium chocolate and carefully sourced ingredients.

We proudly feature local and organic ingredients including:

  • Bee Well honey

  • Nellie T’s peanut butter

  • Bulls Bay sea salt

Elizabeth often calls each truffle a “tiny little labor of love,” because that is exactly what they are.
