Extraordinary chocolates! The flavors, consistency and quality are unparalleled. If you haven’t been, make sure to go! Catherine also beautifully wraps each order, no matter how small. They make beautiful gifts, but make sure to treat yourself as well.
Absolutely amazing chocolates! Gave these delicious little beauties to my family members as Christmas gifts, and they were an instant hit! I dont eat much sweets, but I couldnt get enough of these chocolates. Very impressed with the intricate flavor combinations and the quality of ingredients. Also, the service was absolutely wonderful; I look forward to coming back again and again. This place will be a must-stop for all my Portland guests, too!
If you are ever visiting Portland Maine and you like or love chocolate, then this is the must stop place of the state! This is complete artwork for your mouth! Well, it appeals to the eyes as well. Its a very small place tucked away down a back street. It is off the beaten path but well worth the hunt! Exotic flavors abound. She is a French trained chocolatier and well worth the investment of a gastronomic adventure.
I am never without a box of Chocolats Passion. I savor one chocolate each day and look forward to ordering new flavors. If you have not tasted a chocolate from C-P, you have not known chocolate. Beautifully sculpted and presented, these delicacies will educate your taste buds. I am driving to Portland next week and shall introduce myself to the shop before trying new offerings. I am already making my holiday list. Each name will receive a box of Chocolats Passion. I just received an email advising me that my lasted order is en route.Dimitri
Beautiful little shop. Having just come back from France, this was as authentic of a French chocolate shop as it gets! Incredibly detailed little chocolates, fun and creative caramels, as well as very friendly service from the owner. She was quick to let us try some delicious samples. I bought the caramels sampler and a 4-pack of custom chocolates. I will be back!
One thing I like about French chocolate is the delicate flavors and these are it! The French jellies are tasty as well because you can taste the fruit without overpowering amounts of sugar and the texture is a nice balance between soft and jelly like.The service was outstanding from the welcoming atmosphere to the tasting.Note on the dragon, those are pre-order only.For pricing, it is less than other French chocolatiers I’ve been too though they are all on the high end. So I’d say it’s a good deal for luxury chocolate.
Beautiful chocolate truffles. The owner is super nice and offered us a few truffles to try before buying our favorites. Highly recommend if youre in the Portland area.
Wow! This is the kind of place that makes our city fantastic. I still cant believe its here! I needed a super-special gift for a friend and the owner helped me select the most beautiful box of chocolates for her. Of course, I couldnt resist buying some for me! This is my new go-to for one-of-a-kind, exceptional gifts.
We were fortunate enough to stumble upon this amazing chocolatier in June of 2021. Delicious and beautiful.
Exquisite products. Very fine quality chocolates, the owner is lovely and the chocolate hazelnut crème?? To DIE for.
Got some really unique and high quality chocolate with top notch service
Phenomenal chocolatier! By luck we found the shop while visiting. Delicious chocolate and helpful, curated service. Reminiscent of some of my favorite chocolates from Paris.
The best chocolate Ive had outside of Europe. Some things from here are almost too beautiful to eat. Almost.
I have tasted chocolate from so many places all over the world and Chocolats Passion is up there with the best! Absolutely delicious - try the pate de fruits, the cassis-orange.and the praline. Although you probably couldn’t go wrong with anything here!
Delicious chocolates produced by delightful people! I received a box as a Thanksgiving gift. What a treat!! I just bought six boxes myself to give as gifts this Holiday Season. A breathe of fresh air in this COVID year. Very pleasant shop and friendly, helpful staff. A really great addition to Portland.
Unreal chocolate and amazing, friendly customer service. The passion really shows! Merci BEAUCOUP!!
Amazing French chocolates! Reminds me of trips to Paris.
Outstanding tasting chocolates and beautifully decorated. True artists!
This is an amazing gem in the west end. Go and make sure to bring some home to share.
Some of the most delicious chocolate creations I’ve ever tried! And also, absolutely stunning! Designs, flavor and French charm are authentic and special
Best. Chocolate. Ever. Works of art.
We got a party platter for our engagement party, these chocolates are incredible! Not only were they delicious, but the presentation was so beautiful. Needless to say they were a huge hit, and unique compared to anything else I’ve seen in Portland, ME. Catherine, the owner and French chocolatier, does amazing work.
The most delicious chocolates and desserts! I just received a collection of treats for my birthday and am over the moon. Everything is scrumptious!!
Deliciously hand made artisanal chocolates
There is nothing more dazzling than opening the door at Chocolats Passion for the first time and using all your senses in an instant. The only possible competition for the most outstanding chocolates you will ever eat would be seeing and meeting the owner and watching her making them. A must stop for everyone any day, any season any year!
Absolutely lovely experience start to finish. Customer care and attention is incredible, you dont feel rushed and the selection is unique and interesting. My only regret is not knowing about their location sooner. Undoubtedly my top suggestion for chocolates in the Portland area.
The most amazing chocolate in both taste and artistic appearance. I often give them as gifts and they sometimes feel bad about eating them because they are so beautiful. Also the shop is run by the nicest people
So so delicious! I was visiting Portland and we ran across Chocolats Passion while walking to a friends house. What an amazing find...Their chocolates are gorgeously decorated, the pictures here dont do them justice. My personal favorite was the passion fruit - dark chocolate one. I also got some of their caramels and they were lovely, not too sweet.With the cold weather, dont miss out on their hot chocolate. Its rich and full of cocoa, I got a medium and it filled me right up.Finally, the service was amazing and the owner, a lovely French woman, made sure we got everything we needed. We reminisced about raspberry candies from our childhood (which they also carry) and I will definitely be back when Im next in town.
Few people in this world are as devoted to chocolate as I, and yet this was like having it for the first time all over again. Quality of the highest caliber! These chocolates are as beautiful as they are delectable. The owner was so welcoming that I never wanted to leave!
Hard to find Old World craftsmanship. Quality second to none. Each piece is a work of art. You get to hold the result of someones passion for their craft. It is a remarkable place run by remarkable people. Treat yourself to this experience.
This is what quality chocolate should taste like.
This is not only the best chocolate in Portland, its the best Ive ever had. I love frequenting this place when ever I have an excuse to (or not). I recommend all of it, but if youre a wicked dark chocolate fan, you must try the seasonal hot coco. Out of this world.
The chocolates are exquisite, both in flavor and appearance! Staff are kind, welcoming and helpful. I visit Portland a few times a year and always stop in at least once!
Outrageously wonderful. JUST GO!!!!
Unexpected find, walked by and my interest sparked. The chocolate was so savory, that I bought more than I should have, but will not regret later. To describe this place in one word, would be, Yumm!
I think its safe to say that they have the best chocolate in town, not only do they have some really fun and unique flavors but all of it is so beautiful as well!
Delicious chocolates, but hard to pin down what are the store hours. The place is easy to miss and a lot of local people don’t seem to know about this hidden gem.
Amazing chocolate! Lovely store! Delightful service! Tremendous value!
This place is amazing! I went in earlier today and was enthusiastically greeted by the owner and chocolatier and her pastry chef. They explained all of their amazing chocolates, gave me 2 different chocolates to taste as well as their amazing vegan hazelnut spread. SO much better than Nutella! They use the best ingredients and most everything is gluten free (there are also vegan options!) I felt like I was in a chocolate shop in France. The presentation is beautiful and they perfectly packaged up my treats. Its a great place to buy gifts-- I know I will be back a lot!
Great customer service and wonderful chocolate :) The hot chocolate especially is to die for!!!
Beautiful shop and delicious chocolates. Catherine was a delight to talk to as well.
Beautiful and delicious chocolates, and a wonderful owner and chocolatier to boot! Dont miss out on this newly established gem.
Utterly delicious chocolates, wonderful service, special French imports. A sweet gem in Portland, Maine!
Exceptionally made: both elegant and tasty and at a very fair price
Wonderful shoppe, delicious chocolates.
Best chocolate ever
What a treat to have this in the neighborhood.
