Sweet Designs Chocolatier

Wasn’t a pleasant experience. Not friendly. I would rather spend my money elsewhere.

I love their maple crème milk chocolates! Seriously amazing! They also have great chocolate covered oreos and malted milk balls. High quality chocolate here. After holidays they usually have things for half off so stop by then for a great deal.

Once you go Sweet Designs, you don’t go back.
A lot to choose from. Their organic bark comes in a variety of flavors– my favorites are salted almond and coconut. It’s ridiculously good albeit a little pricey. The nonpareils are another go-​to and they come in white, milk or dark chocolates.
Street parking on Detroit can be a little hairy but the best chocolate you’ve ever tasted is your reward.

My husband always gets me chocolates from this place and their chocolate are very good quality and rich in flavor!!!

High quality chocolate. They even have vegan and organic kinds. They have all sorts of packaged unique gifts such a alcohol paired with mini chocolate shot glasses, high heeled chocolate shoes and holiday themed chocolate. If you’re not into chocolate, they also have fancy flavored popcorn. Plus, the staff is super nice and samples are always present. Winning!

So decide to try this chocolatier for Valentine’s day and get some for myself. while I prefer old-​fashioned hand dipped chocolate, I can appreciate higher end fare as well. The assorted heart box and Box of Dreams were all delicious. For me though, I would prefer to see more fruit-​flavored cremes and jellies in the assortment. Seemed skewed to nuts, chews, and chocolate fillings. Also tried the chocolate covered pretzel sticks which I found to be excellent. In fact, I made a return visit recently just for the pretzel sticks!!! Price is what you would expect for fine chocolate.

I’ve been there more than a few times. And it’s amazing how when you walk through the door, you feel like you’re in a fog of chocolate aroma. Everything about this place is top-​notch. A tasteful layout, and impeccably clean. And the chocolates are… indescribably delicious (to borrow a phrase). You can tell the owner really knows her stuff, and takes great pride in her work. And all the staff are extremely friendly and helpful.

We ordered over 500 truffles (peanut butter truffles and lime truffles) for our wedding and they came out beautiful and delicious. They let us select cute boxes and ribbon as well. I also usually order gifts from here (the gift towers). The presentation is great and they really have a wow factor.

What a great little chocolate shop! Truly something for everyone. Their offerings are fairly traditional, but don’t confuse that with boring. These are classic candies done right. The staff there is very welcoming and was engaged enough to find out that it was our first time there. Following that news, she gave us both a piece of the owners personal favorite, chocolate covered candied orange peel, to officially welcome us. Absolutely delicious. Even though it’s 45 minutes away from where I live, I’ll definitely be returning.

How awesome is this place!!! I lived just down the street for four years and just so happened to stumble in around valentine’s day to see what it was about. Of course, considering the upcoming holiday, it was pretty busy, but not bad. All the girls working there were so nice. When I told one of them that was behind the counter that it was my first time stopping in, she got super excited and asked me what I would like to sample. They have SO MANY different things that it was a little overwhelming to choose, so she gave me what was her favorite – some kind of chocolate covered peanut butter thing. So of course it was fabulous.
You can get different sized boxes and mix and match different chocolate covered wonderfulness, and they also have boxes already made up that give you a little bit of everything. They make up so many different kinds of. I don’t even know what to call them. They have high heel shoes made out of chocolate. Chocolate that looks like lipstick. Stuff with Cleveland on it. If you’re looking for something sweet to give someone, this is definitely the place to go to wow them. Unbelievable.

These chocolatiers are awesome! They know how to get a man huge brownie points on Valentine’s day and any other day he may be in the dog house.
I got my girlfriend a box of truffles from here for a very reasonable price. They had multiple flavors with both milk and dark chocolate for most of them. They also have so many more options, but I’m pretty sure I’ll be back to try more to get even more points in the good boyfriend column.
Definitely check this out if you’re in the Lakewood area.

Just got a delivery at work of assorted chocolates and white and milk chocolate covered strawberries. They came in a box with an ice pack to keep my sweets cool. This was awesome. More than enough to share and I love that they deliver!

Lovely scents, excellent service, delicious chocolates, creative candy designs… What else can I say? Ever since I moved to Lakewood, this has been a must visit when I need a sweet treat! Their chocolate covered strawberries are amazing and if you need a chocolate high heel shoe, this is the place to go! Get creative with your personal sweet gift and go here!

I stopped here today, while driving in the area. The shop is located on a cozy corner of Lakewood. We parked nearby at a meter and entered the store. My co-​worker and I were immediately greeted by the nice young lady behind the counter. We proceeded to browse the shelves. Lots of chocolate gifts, wine and other goodies. The young lady behind the counter offered us a sample of their dark chocolate and tea pairing. The tea was delightful, an apple pear mix. There were also chocolate covered pretzel samples on the counter. There were SO many wonderful offerings in-​store, including chocolate party platters, trays of chocolate cups paired with bottled liqueurs, caramel corn, chocolate covered popcorn and the list goes on! I will definitely return to this quaint little place!

Delicious chocolates. Definitely stop here if you’re looking for a gift or dessert or treat. Very high quality.

chocolate nirvana
luscious pleasure of palate
and no corn syrup
Not as exotic as Lily’s in Tremont, this is more of a European style chocolate shop. Absolutely top quality stuff. Not cloyingly sweet. Terrific mouthfeel. I l absolutely love the almond bark and the truffles. Tasty fresh marzipans shaped into colorful fruits. I’m also a big fan of the orange rinds dipped in dark chocolate. Their signature piece, a raspberry/​marzipan/​dark chocolate bar is a piece of heaven.
If this place was close by, I’d weigh 300 pounds.
Carry on…

Living less than a block from this chocolatier is going to kill me. I love her beautiful selections of truffles, marzipan, and salted caramels, and I regularly choose Sweet Designs for special occasion gifts. This past holiday season our family members all lazily received identical boxes of chocolate, and I didn’t even feel bad about it because I knew how absolutely decadent and delicious they would be!
The price range is what you would expect from a locally owned candy shop where everything is made by hand with expertise– so expect to pay a little bit more than your chain candy company, but trust it is well worth the price both for quality of product as well as supporting your local economy.

I like my chocolate like I like my shoes: shaped like shoes.
And at Sweet Designs you can find the highest of heels composed completely of decadent European style chocolate, ready for a hard night of clubbing or to feed the inevitable craving brought on by rejection and visions of long-​term loneliness. DJ, play my jam!
In all honesty, the samples I sampled (a dark chocolate covered potato chip, sea salted caramel and a button of milk) melted in due time and with a tempered slowness. Cheap chocolate disintegrates once touched and stuff too rich with cocoa butter has a fatty mouthfeel. Sweet Designs product is smooth and sweet without being cloying, making for quite the dandy candy.
The ladies behind the counter are all too eager to toss you a sample, and I believe the master chocolatier graced us with her a presence, along with a tray of freshly prepped chocolate-​drizzled popcorn. Her exasperation and projected sleeplessness let us know the supply works tirelessly to meet demand, and that demand ain’t dwindling.
Prices are to be expected with truffles running $ 20−25/lb and dipped goodies a shade less. Get a few singles, walk out $ 5 poorer and show your best O face, because this cocoa is more like cocOOOH YEAH!
Horrible pun. It’s late. Deal with it.

Years ago a friend from the West Coast sent me an Easter tin from See’s Candies. From that day onward I either purchased candies from See’s when I was in Hawaii or from the Internet. I am not much of a candy eater and certainly not one who craves chocolates and a mug of beer, but during holidays or for gifts candy is a customary purchase. With a lowered income such things as shipping costs dissuade my use of once favored Internet sites.
My friend Teri who seems to know where to buy everything recommended Sweet Designs when I knew a gift was due for my pharmacist who has been extraordinarily helpful in handling my prescriptions. I took the plunge and gave a one pound box from Sweet Designs. I received lavish praise. To an Easter dinner I brought candies from Sweet Designs and again was appreciated far more than any tin from See’s ever brought me.
The owner and her staff are delightful. The selections are classic and not attempts to win you over with shocking ingredients or flamboyant decorations. It pleases me greatly to have a local place that offers elegance in a box.

I am fortunate that I live within walking distance of Sweet Designs. They are very friendly, accomodating, and will go out and pick up anything you want covered in chocolate if they don’t have it already.
The selection is fantastic. My favorite items are: dark chocolate coated sponge candy, hot pepper dark chocolate bits … And the dark chocolate peanut butter cups. If you’ve only has Reese’s, you haven’t had peanut butter cups.
This is a great place that truly gets you what a great small business should: quality with a personal touch.
