Imagine perfection manifesting itself as rich, dark chocolate caressing your taste buds. As the delicate shell gives way, the pure liquid flavor essence cascades into your mouth. A small sigh escapes your lips. Your body relaxes and suddenly you remember where you misplaced your smile.

Best chocolates anywhere! Just make sure if there are any other customers you grab a number. That’s the system they use and the first time I went I missed it for a few minutes so it took a few extra minutes to be helped.

I stop there every time I go through Fredericksburg, Texas. Their liquor filled chocolates are divine! My favorites are the tequila filled chocolates. Amazing, talented and artistic chocolatier.

Wonderful place to visit! This is chocolate heaven for sure. If you love Godiva, this place will have you questioning why Godiva is even made?! It is SUPER YUMMY 🤤 I loved the salted caramel dark chocolate piece, dark chocolate mint bark, amaretto and Irish cream filled pieces They were delicious 🤤😋 The workers were super friendly. This is a new place to visit continuously.

So many delicious treats, the hardest part was deciding which ones to purchase. They have some free samples.The liquor chocolates were unlike anything I'd ever had and the Irish cream liquor chocolates were perfection!! I will absolutely return for more.

I wanted to give this place a 5 star because, seriously, who doesn't come to this shop if they are not a chocolate lover? I was disappointed with the lack of knowledge the staff had of the products. I was also disappointed that even though my husband is a veteran since he didn't have his ID, he didn't get the discount.

My grandson is working here this summer so we decided to come check this place out. Wow!! I've never seen so many chocolate delicacies in one place. My mother sampled a coffee filled chocolate and my husband sampled a spirit filled chocolate and said they were delicious. I'm allergic to milk products and they even had something for me! (Rare in a chocolate shop.) Needless to say, we left with a bag of deliciousness. We'll be back soon.

This is my wife and my favorite shop on all of the planet. Looking forward to going there Sunday on our way back to the Rio Grande valley. This is a traditional stop for us as we travel through Texas. Quintessential Chocolates… here we come!

Casually just walked in thinking it was just a chocolate store, boy was I wrong! They had booze filled chocolates and they even give you 1 sample to try! The tequila rose were amazing. Also had the Tennessee whiskey and that was on the strong side, but overall really greqt chocolates. Can't wait to go back.

Did someone say chocolate??? Well, in Fredericksburg, TX there’s this little gem called Quintessential Chocolates. Love how you get one free sample (the hook…LOL) and if you’re over 21 they have wine and alcohol filled delights. The chocolates are amazing and the liquor ones…INCREDIBLE. I’ve had many alcohol filled chocolates, but none ever tasted like my “free sample” Pecan St Rum. While the outer shell is dark chocolate, you feel like you’re sipping on some pecan rum too. A wonderful combination of flavors that don’t overpower, but magnify each other’s specific character. I was also impressed with owner Lecia Duke’s creation of a Purple Heart confection honoring the military and combat wounded veterans. If you are a Veteran, you get one free and it is a beautiful piece of chocolate artwork. I read an article about her…seems she did an apprenticeship at Lindt…one of my favorite chocolates. Huge shout out to Izabell…she did an excellent job handing out samples and explaining all of the different confections.

Wow! With some many chocolates it was hard to choose. I picked up a 6 count box, plus 3 different types of bark for gifts for family when I get home. I highly recommend visiting this neat place. I personally am looking forward to trying the salted caramel.The staff were super friendly and patient while I made my selections too.

We stumbled upon this chocolate shop. We are a bit snooty about chocolate having spent lots of time overseas eating the best. I always ask a shop for a taste of the dark chocolate truffle. At this location, I had to pay. Oh well, but it was really very nice. Firm shell and soft dense inside. Fantastic. We left to check out other chocolate shops but came back to buy two assortment boxes and a Mayan styled bar. We also tasted the filled chocolates they are famous for. Mine was filled with a cabernet. The lady's chocolate was filled with a cherry sauce. They are unique tasting. They use a Swiss tool to make the chocolate. Overall, we really like this shop. They have other knickknacks for sale. We will go back.

Fantastic chocolates! Great staff and customer service. Had a recent Christmas order, there were issues with the website, order wasn't processed which caused a delay. It was a Christmas gift, so they covered the overnight shipping to try and get it there by Christmas. Spoke with and traded emails with Peter who was extremely helpful! Make sure you stop by when in Fredericksburg TX. Recommend the liquor filled chocolates, Tennessee whisky, Bourbon and Orange Liquor!

Great chocolates and great staff. We stopped by one time while in Fredericksburg and really enjoyed the chocolates (especially the alcohol variety). The staff was very friendly and patient while we figured out what all we wanted to get. We liked them so much so that we used their online ordering for several boxes as gifts. They package them well and keep them cool. There was a small error in our order but they were quick to respond and quickly shipped out an additional box to complete the order. Very responsive and friendly. A must stop while in Fredericksburg and/or order some online, they are worth it.

What an amazing experience my family and I had . They have chocolate for everyone. My mom is a diabetic and they had tasty treats even she could have safely. I have food sensitivities and I too was able to enjoy. We ended up coming back twice in one day. Will definitely be back.

Went here with my family. Truly a unique experience. You have not had chocolate like this!We were lucky that when we arrived they were not super busy and we were able to meet the owner. She was so kind and we enjoyed talking with her about the chocolate and her business. Highly recommend! ❤️

First things first, when a friend, who lives in California, tells you that you can't leave Fredericksburg without stopping by Quintessential Chocolates, you stop by. I was NOT DISAPPOINTED! Not only were the staff very knowledgeable and friendly, they made the experience so much fun, just by treating you as a person when you walk in, not just a transaction. I appreciate the explanations and the wide variety of delicious treats they have available. The liquor filled ones were AMAZING! We loved this place and will definitely be ordering more online, and visiting EVERY TIME we're in this town! Keep up the great job, and keep crushing it! Lecia, you've trained your people well, and your work is spectacular!

Delicious chocolate that definitely deserves for you to stop by. Everything we ordered was delicious - caramel and pecan filled chocolate, different flavored chocolate barks, and southern pecan coffee filled chocolates. Try for yourself, you will not be disappointed!

Wow these are the best chocolates we've ever had! I wish we would have taken a picture of the pretty chocolates in the box we picked out. We spent about $20 on a box of about 10 chocolates, 2 pieces of fudge & a toffee bark. Everything was amazing. We are planning to go back before we leave town. I also tried a sample of the amaretto chocolate which was delicious.

The best specialty chocolate shop I have ever been too. The chocolate is hand made. You must go if in Fredricksburg. If you like liquor they chocolates filled with liquor.
