ChocoBella

Very strange disinterested service. Asked the person behind counter if they made the chocolates themselves and he said no. Nothing more. Did not ask if we were interested in anything particular. After a minute of looking in awkward silence we left. Won’t be back. Too many good chocolate places in Milwaukee with better service.

Your tiny chocolate coffee cups are fabulous & my grandkids love your chocolate covered licorice but your Caramel is terrible. The texture is gritty. I love tads or turtles or whatever you want to call them but you need to work on a smooth but chewy caramel, especially for the price.

These are absolutely gorgeous, totally delicious truffles. I’ve found shops similar to this one all over the country but you can tell that these in particular are made with extreme artistic care and attention. Divine.

I used to drive past ChocoBella when they were at their old location. I never went in because I just never had a chance to.
During Bay View Gallery Night, my husband and I decided to go inside. Boy did they have a lot of chocolates! I bought some and they were delicious — the chocolates were also reasonably priced.
I wandered into their new location today to check it out. I’m glad that they moved somewhere where it appears to be more foot traffic. At this store, it appears that there is a small selection of chocolate. It the space did appear smaller than their last location as well.
I will be back because I like good chocolate.

Went here for the first time tonight after dinner at Café LuLu and it was awesome! Customer service was great and the chocolates were even better! If you are in Bayview, it’s a shame not to stop here!

The shop is fairly small and I’ve seen larger selection at other chocolate shops, but the creative designs of the truffles is what impressed me the most. It didn’t hurt that the truffles I ordered were also delicious. I had the Banana Peanut Butter, Banana Split, and the Coquito, named for a Puerto Rican holiday drink (think egg nog with rum). They were $ 1.79 each, which I felt was reasonable and less expensive than other chocolate shops I’ve visited. I recommend visiting to see how beautiful some of the truffle designs are, and I dare you to leave the store without buying some of them.

Aweome place – well done sweets and the owners could not be nicer folks! Highly recommend this little treasure.

This place is amazing and the chocolates are artistic and unique. It’s a bit pricey but worth it.

The sweets are so beautiful, delicate with eye-​catching details like a chocolate shop in Paris or Basel. The owners are lovely people. Definitely a must in Bay View. Treat yourself with a piece of hand made love from this family-​owned award-​winning business.

This is the most visually beautiful chocolate I’ve ever encountered, the creations are each little gorgeous works of art. The creative chef was the one who served us, he’s rightfully proud of his work, his chocolate is a perfect gift, the shop itself is a cute and friendly little boutique making this place also a nice stop in the middle of a romantic date. The chocolate is appropriately priced, it’s high end stuff, mostly a couple of dollars a piece. My Chief of Staff slightly prefers the taste of Indulgence Chocolates in Walker’s Point, but the chocolates here are prettier, the taste combinations more complex and unique. None of the photos here can do justice to the attractive look of these chocolate masterpieces, you have to see them in person to fully appreciate how pretty they are.

White chocolate, dark chocolate, milk chocolate, truffles, pumpkin spice, guava, chocolate with port wine, chocolate with nuts, chocolate with dried fruit, chocolate with bananas and peanut butter. If you name it, ChocoBella probably has it.
ChocoBella is a family-​owned business, and it shows with the warm and welcoming tone they set in their store. I felt like I was a guest in someone’s home. The store itself had a relaxed and festive feel to it, especially with a beautiful decorated Christmas tree standing behind the counter.
As for the chocolates, they were superb. It was every thing I wanted and more. The Crème Brulee was my favorite out of the bunch. It had an initial layer of white chocolate topped off with sugar, and once bitten through, you’re introduced to a gooey-​filled center. The multiplicity of textures were both fun and unexpected. It was like heaven in bite-​size form. I also had the Pistachio, the Caramel, and an assortment of Truffles. And they were all amazing. There was not one that didn’t make me weak in the knees.
As for the service, it was top-​notch. The lady who helped me out was patience, considerate, and kind. She gave me a great introduction to all of their chocolates, and helped me pick out ones my boyfriend’s parents would enjoy. I mentioned that I was mailing one of my purchases, and she went out of her way to make sure to it was beautifully wrapped, and safe for travel. Again, top-​notch service.
ChocoBella has one the best chocolates I’ve ever tasted. I highly recommend trying their chocolates at least once in your lifetime. I was already in a good mood when I came in, but I left with an even better mood (and twenty-​five pieces of chocolate). It can get any better than ChocoBella.

Best chocolate I’ve ever had. Amazing!!! Will be back for more. Interesting options and would be great for gift. They even had chocolate cups with leopard print.

I’ve tried several other chocolate shops in Milwaukee, and this is one is my favorite so far. Too bad it’s also the most out-​of-​the way one for me to get to.
The shop itself is absolutely adorable and the chocolates are just gorgeous. I managed to limit myself to picking out just 5 — including the strawberry balsamic and the guava. Every one was exceptional. Their prices are really reasonable for the quality too.
Loved that when I walked in a little girl, maybe 5, introduced herself as Bella. You can tell it’s a family business and that they care.

What a fantastic little shop. The woman behind the counter was so incredibly friendly. and offered us samples right when we walked in. The chocolates are beautiful and taste amazing too! They have so many traditional and unique flavors to choose from that you are sure to find something that you like.

Went in for the first time today. The owners are so friendly! The selection is phenomenal. The chocolates are gorgeous to look at and taste really good too! The owner told me that everything is made there in the shop, and almost all of them are gluten free if that is something you need. Definitely check it out!

I had been meaning to stop in here for quite some time but I’ll admit I was a little hesitant because the previous chocolate shop in the same space was pretty lousy. But this place is so pretty good. It’s a great addition to Bay View.

Wow what a first time experience. Upon our arrival The owner quickly made some
Samples for us, walked us through her entire display case, and talked with us for about 20 minutes. Chocolates were amazing, my favorites being the chocolate sea
Salt covered caramels as well as the dark chocolate peanut butter cups. Yum! So glad I only live down the street from this amazing new bay view shop.

So it was Mother’s day weekend, and when you add all the Grandmothers into the equation, because of course you have to be fare, well that ads up to a lot of little gifts. And what do you get them this year, that they don’t already have or that’s not going to be the typical son-​in-​law gift… Well thank you Choco Bella! You saved the weekend and I also came out as still the best son-​in-​law, husband, dad, etc. etc. gift giver…
I came across this little shop and figured out, hmmm, this maybe good. And was I right! First of all, unlike the ladies of the family, I’m not a chocolate fan. Well, at least I wasn’t… When I first saw the various chocolates they had, I thought they were candy! I was like, ok we can get them some candy. But they were really chocolate and they were really, really good. Of course I told them I’m not a chocolate fan, however with their sweet smells and their great looks, how could I pass up a few samples!!!
I was sold… completely sold… this is such a great idea, I wish i would have found this place sooner! Well, of course they had just opened up about a week ago… Well, yay Me for finding it now! The chocolates went off with out a hitch, the Mom’s loved them and yes, I’m still their favorite. And I’m kinda hooked too… The Mrs was a fan, soooo, if she’s happy, I’m happy… :o)
And did I mentioned they were really, really good! They had this awesome blueberry one, that was my favorite! But they also had this really good tangerine one and crème brûlée one and this milk chocolate one with a pecan on top and sea salt! That one was really good too! And they had so much more!
Well, I just had to post this to help out all those Dads, husbands, son-​in-​laws, boy friends, fiances, etc, etc… Whether your in the dog house, want to make a good «gift» impression, or just want to get that spacial little someone a really cool «just because» gift, make a stop at Choco Bella. The price is right and the girls will loved them!!!

I’m not exactly a chocolate expert, but I would consider myself a chocolate snob. For example, I just don’t think Hershey’s is worth the calories. Yep, snobby.
So, I was excited to see that a new chocolate shop was going into the space that was previously Franklin’s Chocolates on KK.
I finally got my chance to see what ChocoBella has to offer. The shop has been redecorated with a color scheme that is very «sweet» and welcoming and carries through to the very pretty packaging of the gift boxes & ribbons. This is certainly a family affair, with Kary out front, and the rest of the family – 4 girls & dad (I assume) emerging from the kitchen to enthusiastically offer samples and suggestions.
There are 3 glass cases FULL of chocolates of all types: truffles, dipped confections, and glossy, glittery chocolate art pieces. All of the favorites are here: turtles, toffees, at least a dozen varieties of chocolate barks, and peanut butter cups, but then some surprises, too: guava and marscapone cheese, crème brûlée, and mayan spice chocolates. The individual chocolate pieces range in price from about $ 1.25 to $ 1.75. Upon tasting, I believe they are worth every penny.
There’s a great balance of dark, milk and white chocolate choices. I’m partial to dark chocolate, and was very happy with the smooth, well tempered texture of the pieces that I tried. The raspberry ganache that fills the berry hearts is wonderfully balanced – not too tart or sweet. I also shared a milk chocolate habenero peanut butter cup, and will definitely go back for more of these – a combination of sweet, smoky, and afterburn that will rosy your cheeks.
I walked out with two gift boxes, and a small box for myself.
The shop has only been open since the beginning of the week, and it is obvious that they are still working on getting into a groove, but it won’t be long before this becomes yet another favorite in the neighborhood!

This is the new chocolate store open in the same location as the old chocolate store used to be in Bayview. Over on KK across the street from the Avalon/​Hat Shop/​Bike store and near the new «Dwell» apartments.
They’re online via Facebook at
Unilocal won’t let me add this as their website…
* Habenaro spiced peanut butter cups?!?
* Chocolate covered caramels with sea salt on top
* Chocolate covered red licorice
The candies are good. A bit expensive at about $ 1.50 each with some $ 1.75.
No prices are out, so we had no clue how much things were until they rang us up. Which was a bit painful as they just opened their doors and don’t have their operating procedures down yet. They’re trying though, and the chocolate is good.
I noticed that their facebook page says something about imported chocolate. I thought they made it here in Milwaukee. I’ll have to ask for clarification next time I wander in.
