Those that know me know that I am really terrible about bragging on myself. But apparently when you win #1 Chocolate Shop in America, you are really supposed to talk about that more than I am actually doing. So, thank you all so very much for taking the time out of your day, everyday, to vote for us. It is truly such an honor to receive this national attention. It was just really an honor to have been nominated the past 3 years, to be in such amazing company with other fabulous chocolate shops across our country, and to have placed in the Top 5 in 2023 and 2024…but to win it in 2025 is just really awesome and we are all so very grateful.
If you have had my chocolates, you know that the focus is just on having a beautifully layered, perfectly balanced tasting experience. We aren’t doing anything splashy-there are no chocolate sculptures at LaRue and you won’t see a bonbon with 8 different colors on it. We want you to taste, experience the love and thought that went into each of the creations, and enjoy. We want each bite to take you on a journey, tell you a story, or simply put a smile on your face.
We didn’t just win #1 Chocolate Shop in America because of our amazing chocolate truffles, we won because I have a fabulous staff. I am so lucky to have just some of the loveliest human beings working for me…from my very talented chocolatier, Toni, to my awesomesauce front of house team that makes our guests super fun cocktails, helps you decide which chocolates you should enjoy, and picks out a perfect bottle of champagne for you to take home.
My heart is full. As always, thank you so much for your support. We appreciate you all so much and we wouldn’t be here without you. We hope to see you soon.
Take care,
Elizabeth
