Zoe’s Chocolate Company

If great chocolate is your passion, Zoe’s is your place! The service is friendly and courteous. The chocolates are simply divine. My personal favorites among the many beautiful artisan chocolates are the Chewy Sea Salt Caramels with Dark Chocolate and the Fleur de Sel Liquid Caramels. Do yourself a favor though and buy a box of nine, more if you are sharing! You will be delighted. If you are giving Zoe’s Chocolates as a gift, the recipient will be so delighted with the gorgeous bow adorning the box of chocolates… The chocolates are a wonderful gift.

Unlike my last review; where I may have offended some for saying a specific 4-​Star restaurant in Frederick would probably be more 3 – 3.5 in a Metropolitan powerhouse like NYC or DC… Zoe’s Chocolate would hold it’s own!
This is great chocolate! Perfectly sweet, but not over done. The fillings of their truffles are pretty tremendous, adding a great juxtaposition of flavors to their chocolate shell.
I will surely recommend and return!

The dark chocolate bar with cocao nibs is amazing! Small shop but plenty of offerings to satisfy most (if not all) chocolate lovers. They make their own chocolate which is a bonus.

Best chocolate around! This will be stocking stuffers for everyone this year. Family owned, and authentic.

Swanky shop housed in the heart of Frederick. As soon as we entered, the owner offered up a few samples for us to try and we happy obliged.
Prices are a little steep but that is to be expected if you want premium chocolate. We’ll be repeat customers!

I gave one star because the lady behind the counter gave me a smirk even after we bought the expensive chocolate. I stopped by specially at zoe’s because people said they have good chocolate (which was good) but because the service was so poor, so we decided only to buy some. Definitely will not go there again.

A total gem in the middle of Frederick. And it doesn’t hurt that it looks like an adorable little fairy house.
Zoe’s has the most amazing chocolate. The pretzel chocolate bar is vegan and is my favorite, but really it is all delicious. The chocolate bars are only $ 7 each too!
I have to actively avoid this place for the sake of my waistline. It doesn’t work very well…

This is a classy little shop along Market Street in old town Frederick. They have a generous selection of various chocolate products that exquisitely displayed or packaged. Their products are not inexpensive. I did not purchase anything.

One of my go to’s whenever I’m in Frederick.
Chocolate is always rich and never gritty. I love their seasonal flavors and their menu is always expanding. The chocolate is pricey, but it’s worth it because the quality is fantastic. Makes for a great gift or just a treat for yourself.

Some of the best chocolate from a small boutique shop I have ever tasted!
Plenty of choices for the discerning chocolate connoisseur.

I have been eating Zoe’s Chocolates for 5 years now and have never had a single bad tasting treat. These are true experts in their craft of chocolate making and it’s family run! The prices are not the cheapest, but you are eating real quality ingredients, so it is worth it.
A friend of mine is coming to visit from Florida and as it’s Easter this weekend, I can;t wait to show her Zoe’s and pick up some Easter chocolates!

Disappointing flavor and not worth the price.
If you want to spend this kind of money on chocolate, go to the Perfect Truffle on East Street. If you don’t want to spend this kind of money, go to the Candy Kitchen (also on Market St.).
Food doesn’t taste better just because its on Market St.

(3÷7÷2014) Delicious chocolates, subtle flavoring, not overly sweet, high cocoa liquor content. Ganache for the fillings were silky smooth, shells were not too hard. Beautiful, classy, elegant looks.

Small showroom. Delicious temptations under glass. $$$. Yum.

The caffe truffle is still probably my favorite, although the one with cognac in the ganache is delectable! I also finally tried one of their lovely homemade candy canes. I choose the peppermint flavor, although they also offer cinnamon and anise flavors as well. It is definitely the best candy cane I’ve ever eaten! Additionally, the special Thanksgiving turkeys (Tom and Sally, I believe) they had were far too cute to pass up — I bought one to bring as a hostess gift to my friends who’ve invited me on Thanksgiving Day.

Whenever I’m in Frederick, Zoe’s is a must-​stop for me. Their chocolate is exquisite. It’s pricey but completely worth it. I have never been disappointed by anything I’ve purchased from Zoe’s, whether it was one of the gourmet truffles, or a chocolate bar. I look forward every year for when the first Frozoe appears, a decadent frozen chocolate dessert that is like gelato on crack.
The staff are amazingly friendly. I was lucky enough to wander in one day when the father of the family was in, and he spent a good half hour plying me with chocolates and telling me all about the shop and his training.
Zoe’s has been the official chocolatier for the Academy Awards for a few years now, if that tells you anything. Zoe’s is hands down the best chocolate I’ve found.

Love this place. I think comparing this place with Candy Kitchen which is right down the street is complete apples and oranges, you just can’t do it. Candy Kitchen has your hearty chocolate creations (ie. massive pecan caramel turtles), while Zoe’s has the dainty artisan chocolate selection, plus their selection of chocolate is a little more subdued, it is a much quieter shop than the sometimes chaotic Candy Kitchen.
This place is artisan chocolate at it’s finest, I mean let’s not forget that it was Zoe’s who provided the chocolates for the Academy Awards gift baskets one year and the Oscars on another year.
At the front of this quaint Frederick location there are the chocolate bars, hot cocoa canisters, and the delicious nonpareil wafers along with other assorted items. Around the holidays they have a ton of seasonal bars. I have absolutely thoroughly enjoyed every piece of chocolate I have put in my mouth thus far from Zoe’s. I gifted a 24 piece box set to my friend’s in Texas who hosted me for a week and they loved them.
I have purchased bags upon bags of the nonpareil wafers, the hazelnut bar, the raw coffee bar, and the espresso bar. The chocolate is so creamy and rich, but remains smooth and decadent throughout.
The display cases in the back of the store with the truffles and chocolates are a beautiful treat for the eyes. You have trays sitting there with these perfectly square chocolates and shiny marbleized domes with apple pie listed as one of the flavor. I love the little sprinkles of the flavor ingredients they have atop the chocolates. The Aegean pistachio has the pop of the green sprinkled pistachios, the Persephone’s Pomegranate has the rich pink sprinkled pieces, where mint has one simplistic green line that runs across it. They are just so elegant and they are almost too pretty to eat… emphasis on the almost.
All and all, it’s a cute little store with delicious chocolate options all for the taking. Anything from this store makes great great gifts for the sweets lover in you life.

Amazing chocolate, great quality, but they’re ultra pricey. It’s good for a little treat or a fancy gift. I am in love with their chewy sea salt caramels. Maybe one day I’ll try something new, but I usually only buy one or two pieces when I go in and I just want the caramel. Mmmmm…

Zoe’s is the home of really freakin’ good chocolates. Subtle flavors, truffle fillings in balance with the chocolate. But in order to get them they will definitely have their way with your wallet, leaving it feeling a little ashamed and dirty.

Really cool chocolate store. We came in and couldn’t leave without buying a little chocolate tree. The tree looked awesome and to be honest, I haven’t tasted it as it was a gift. I was able to taste some free samples and I liked the chocolate. Service was also excellent as I had a great conversation with the cashier about the business since I had never heard of Zoe’s. All in all I would recommend a stop in here as they have great gift ideas or just simple sweet pleasures.
