The Chocolate Shell

We were delighted to find the Chocolate Shell for wedding favors for our wedding last year at Harkness Memorial State Park. Barbara was so helpful in assisting us choose the box and design. The guests loved them. Thank you!

Wonderful little chocolate shop with something for everyone. Fine chocolate in the front and a kids candy room in the back. The staff is very welcoming and there .P.R. representative is very friendly, but he lays around a lot.

A huge thank you to Lizzy, the owner of The Chocolate Shell, for fulfilling a chocolate order for my friend! She made her birthday gift very special!

This was my first visit to The Chocolate Shell, and it was a really lovely shop... starting off with the delicious aroma of chocolate in the air. With both original confections and traditional flavors, it was very hard to choose what to buy! I selected some personal favorites, but am really excited to try their bunny tail and whipped raspberry egg!

The Chocolate Shell is now owned by the fabulous Lizzy McCarthy! Lizzy ‘s love of chocolate is contagious, everything she suggests is Delicious. Beautiful chocolates as well as great selection of all your childhood favorites. The Chocolate Shell is a destination not to be missed!

Lovely local business with an incredible selection. We used The Chocolate Shell for a small holiday gift order for our vendors and we could not be happier! We grabbed a few goodies for ourselves and my gosh they are too good.

Purchased a couple of gifts. The owner was super helpful & very sweet. We also got some goodies for ourselves, too. Such a cute store. And, yummy goodies.

This little candy shop has something for everyone and a friendly welcome for everyone who comes through the door.
Ready for every holiday or event with highest quality candies and yet offering plenty of choices for kids with just a five dollar bill, the Chocolate Shell is intergenerational. No wonder it's our family's favorite go-to place for dark chocolates.

My kids and I really enjoyed are experience here! They have a large variate of sweet and fruity. Definitely something for everyone. The owner was a kind heart and fun person to be around!

Some of the greatest artisan homemade chocolate I've had! The almond chocolate turtle was my favorite! And I had a truffle made with Chambord that was also fantastic 😍 Don't skip this place!

Had a job to repair there phone. Chocolates looked way to good to pass up. Bought a bunch for my wife. Needless to say wife loved them and made her day. Happy wife happy life!!

Beautiful store with TONS of options, very clean and staff was extremely friendly. I’m not a fan of milk or dark chocolate but they had a ton of white chocolate options!

Wonderful chocolate!! Great service, too! I highly recommend The Chocolate Shell

What a great place, knowledgeable staff and friendly atmosphere. And the best candy selection on the shoreline.
