Amazing chocolate store and exceptional customer service. The attendant was really through and patient in explaining everything about their chocolate bars and also their truffles. I wished I lived closer to try out all their flavors!Side note: I do plan on buying their chocolate later on this year when Florida’s temperatures get lower.Definitely recommend to everyone that likes desserts, This place won’t disappoint.
Products are fresh and you can taste that in the chocolate. Huge variety of bars and truffles and staff is very friendly and knowledgeable.
Best chocolate I’ve ever had! I bought a few chocolate bars in their store while I was visiting Fort Collins. The people working at the store were really nice and knowledgeable. I’m not a fan of bitter and acidic chocolate so they directed me the best options best on my tastes. The vanilla oat milk 45% chocolate bar was out of this world! Will definitely be buying more of their chocolate!
Nuance is a very unique bean to bar chocolate factory. I would say to only focus on their single origin dark chocolates - their white chocolate/milk chocolate is not as worth it at the rightfully priced $12 a bar for their unique and well-curated selection. Also, I have been patronized before on more than one occasion by the staff which after multiple experiences as a return customer does impact my opinion of the shop which can have an overall pretentious feel depending on the customer service. Without a doubt, worth it for dark chocolate lovers.
Its good to know everything about the place you love, and staff will make sure you understand how they will make everything there. Staff is knowledgeable and super friendly. My experience was great. 10/10 for the taste of chocolates and 10/10 for the store experience. I recommend to check out this place if you visit Fort Collins.
I have not had the pleasure of visiting but I have ordered several bars and truffles online after being gifted chocolate from Nuance. It is some of the best chocolate I have ever had. Crisp snap to a dark chocolate, creamy richness to the milk. Wonderful stuff.
Really amazing little chocolate shop. Everything is made from scratch, and so many single origin chocolate options. Friendly staff. Definitely worth a trip for some unique and high quality chocolate!
I have no words for how delicious this chocolate is! Discovered Nuance a few years ago and there has been no going back.Their hand made truffles are OUT OF THIS WORLD— the top quality chocolate is the star of the show and the flavors enough to accent the chocolate but not overpower.We also love the single source chocolate bars. One of a kind chocolate and the best quality.I love getting truffles and chocolate as gifts— and every time, a new Nuance fan is born. ;)We are so lucky to have such a chocolate shop here in Fort Collins! If you haven’t been, HIGHLY recommend!
This is hands down my favorite place in FoCo! Toby and crew make the best chocolate in the world. They also have the best customer service, and I find myself there about once a week spending all my money on truffles, bars, and drinks (hello, French Canadian!). My partner and I consider sipping chocolate at Nuance our favorite impromptu date.
Employees were very friendly! But the chocolate overpriced for what you get. Definitely delicious though!
If you love dark chocolate, this is THE place to go in FoCo! We have tried the delicious truffles as well as their vast selection of bars. The quality of freshly made chocolate from the best locations in the world is very apparent and I am no chocolate expert. It’s not inexpensive. If you are looking for a real treat for yourself or a chocolate loving friend, it is well worth the price.
Community Treasure! Relieved to see mask sign on the door today. Fantastic collection of single origin chocolate bars and scrumptious, tempting truffle flavors.
This place is a treasure. There are few places like Nuance anywhere; not in big cities, expensive enclaves, or the swankiest neighborhoods. And I want to personally thank them. The owners are committed, intelligent, passionate, community focused, conscientious, sustainably oriented, chocolate lovers. They care deeply about everything they do and that is reflected in all of aspects of their business. Their employees are educated, smiling, interactive, safe and fun. When you care about health in front of people, I suspect you do the same when people arent looking.I dont wish owning a retail or restaurant as a business on anyone right now and Tobi and Alix have the entrepreneurial spirit not only to be able to endure this pandemic, but to emerge from it even better! They succeed despite online trolls and a truly toxic political atmosphere, and they do it with kindness and grace. As a customer, I cannot ask for more with the exception of an outstanding product. They have that in spades.I almost forgot to talk about the chocolate! Ive traveled all over the world. I seek culture through epicurean delights and I feel qualified to say this is the best chocolate I have ever had, anywhere. For those who are looking for it, the name Nuance is apt. Enjoying a single origin flight and a rich and deeply satisfying true hot chocolate is nearly intoxicating.Go there. Order something made with passion and in cooperation with other local businesses. Indulge in a true hot chocolate. Im confident youll agree.Thank you Nuance Chocolate. You are the best of us...and youre chocolate is delicious too!
Delicious chocolate. Everyone is friendly and knowledgeable.The truffles are amazing!! My favorite is the Snakebite.I always get a... Favorable reaction... From my wife when I pick these up on my way home from work. Youre doing a great job!!
My husband & I had a lovely dinner at a nearby restaurant with FRIENDLY staff, even if your mask wasn’t on as you walked out of the restaurant!!! We decided to walk to this little chocolate shop for a simple dessert. As we walked in, my mask was on & my husband was pulling his out of his pocket to put on when “miss charming” behind the counter had no welcoming to us other than “do you have a mask?” Really? With all that is going on in our world, your staff can’t say “hello, welcome” & wait a second for someone to put on a mask!!! No interest in businesses that are acting like this. We walked out immediately.
This is a very unique chocolate shop. Some have said its spendy. Its really not. We had a drinking chocolate even though it was not cold. I had to try it. Very smooth. Was a little bitter when I first tried it. I should have stirred it. It would have been perfect with just a dollop of whip cream on it. We had a tasting flight. This was not what I expected. It was truly educational. It is simple, chocolate direct from cocoa bean and sugar. The beans come from different areas. I posted a picture of one of the tasting menus. Each one absolutely tasted unique. I am excited to drive back and try another one. The tasting flight is $8 for 2 people. If you only want one person the price gets cut in half. I have not tried my truffle yet. Im saving it for tonight. BTW ALL of the chocolate here is made in their own factory. From cocoa bean to the end product. Think Willy Wonka on a real life level.
Seems like Colorado is all about the chocolate life! These guys have taken it to another level. From the truffles, to the bars and even their drinks. Never go here hungry, you will surely walk out broke. There are many different flavors to choose from. Also love that their kitchen is only two blocks away, so if they run out of something, they can proably it back on the floor soon. The staff was wonderful in explaining everything, and very patient with us, we couldnt make up our mind as was to get. Want an interesting twist on dessert, come here!
The knowledge of the staff and the genuineness of the product is beyond comparison.
Just love their chocolate sip.
Full disclosure: I had the pleasure of working for these folks for about 2yrs back in 2014 and I havent worked with anyone quite like them since. Toby and Alix are both exceptionally kind, generous, and intelligent, and deeply devoted to their staff. Best chocolate Ive ever tasted. Their french hot chocolate is to die for, and their bars and truffles all have something unique to offer your palate (my personal favorites are the hazelnut truffles, the snake bite truffle, and almond bars). I purchase all my holiday gifts for loved ones from nuance (by request) and will continue to do so for the foreseeable future. Theyre the best:)
This is one of our favorite Fort Collins shops! We share their unbelievable truffles for every birthday, holiday, anniversary, and cheer up package. Make sure you try their sipping chocolate and their amazing chocolate bars too! They are one of a few being the bar companies in the US and their chocolate is some of the best Ive ever had. Whenever we bye chocolate for friends we leave with a double batch for ourselves.
This is one of those places that punches above Ft. Collins’ weight. The chocolate is literally world class. And it’s served with an easy-to-digest education about the subject matter from folks who are, without exception, friendly and knowledgeable. Not to be missed.
The truffles at Nuance are among the best Ive tried in my life. I can tell good chocolate truffles, and the big majority of truffles I have tried in the US are terrible. These ones are different. They have just the perfect sweetness and are very smooth on the tongue. I love the variety of fruit/liquor/chocolate combinations. They are worth every penny. Every visitor that comes to town has to try Nuance Chocolate. Its possibly the best place Fort Collins has.
Nuance is the best! I used to live in Fort Collins but have moved away. Whenever my wife and I come back to visit we make sure to stop by. It has NEVER disappointed. The sipping chocolate, the truffles, and the wide variety of chocolate bars are superb.
Very tasty chocolate. Lots of options. Its premium stuff so be prepared to pay for it!
The store was clean and felt safe. So glad I could go get wonderful chocolate. Try everything but especially the sipping chocolate. Its divine!
Everyone at Nuance is so friendly and knowledgeable about their delicious chocolate. I love buying treats for family, friends, and of course myself! Thanks for another lovely experience!
Oh, wow! We were greeted warmly by a nice young lady who asked if it was our first time inThe shop. When we said yes, she told us about the shop and the chocolate. The French sipping chocolate was superb. Like really, incredibly good. My boyfriend had a “Theo” and coffee that he really enjoyed. The shop is lovely (pretty and smells amazing) and the service was excellent.
Fantastic chocolate. Loved all my experiences with them. And I really appreciate that they care about our health and make sure that people wear masks.
Great service and delicious sipping chocolate!
If I was going to spend $4 for one chocolate truffle, I’d hope the customer service was better. Service was rude and considering today’s climate would have hoped they would have been more helpful and appreciative of our business. Will not return.
Love going here for my chocolates one of the only reasons I go to Ft Collins
Fantastic selection of chocolate made with beans from all around the world!!
Staff is extremely nice and knowledgeable. Everyone there is definitely passionate about chocolate. Have yet to try the truffles but the chocolate bars I have had tasted VERY GOOD!
Such good customer service and great chocolate!
We just sampled their new truffle flavor : Rosemary, Sea Salt and Olive Oil. So good! Nuance is our favorite place to go for a sweet treat in Fort Collins. If you havent tried their chocolate, do yourself a favor. You can get incredible dark chocolate, or try some of the truffles, either super rich or a little exotic, like snakebite or this one. .
Who doesnt like good chocolate?
Ive been twice and the chocolate is great and the people are helpful. A super unique spot
You need to stop here if youre in Fort Collins! They have tons of different chocolates from cocoa beans from all over the world. They create the chocolate from scratch: bean to bar as it says on their wrappers. The gentlemen who helped us talked to us about the process, the chocolate, the different flavor profiles, and more. You can tell by the way they talked about everything that this is a passion for them and it shows in the quality of their product.
Always enjoy the chocolate. Owners are very friendly and courteous.
Hands down the Best Chocolate Experience in my life!!Exquisite. We will be back soon!
Not your ordinary chocolate shop. So unique, curated and informative. They have single origin chocolate that’s delicious and priced really well. Highly highly recommend.
Such an important service in town. Cacao is healing and the way this shop respects the plant and uses and presents it is the best I’ve seen in any storefront. Try the theo brew and notice how you’re mood lifts and anxiety is relieved.
On a grand tour of Wyoming and Colorado chocolatiers, Nuance was far and away the highest quality and tastiest maker of my most favorite of foods. Where the vast majority of these shops simply make their chocolates in house (if that!), Nuance crafts their own bean to bar chocolate, then uses that same chocolate to create giant and absolutely delectable ganache based truffles! The latter were my reason for seeking out Nuance, but once in the shop, I was astounded to see nearly 50 different bars! They have everything from single origin to inclusion or flavored varieties, milk, and even white.I had to try Chantilly Cream, a milk chocolate made with cream instead of milk (!!!), but there were plenty other varieties that caught my attention: glazed coconut, goat milk, coffee and cream, even a whole line infused with whiskies. They also offer bitters, brewing chocolate, various coffees and cocoas, even nibs. I took home a bag of nibs, and have been enjoying them over fruit and yogurt daily. I eat a lot of cacao nibs, and these are some of the best I have had.While their website advertises a limited selection of truffles, in store I had my choice of 20+. I selected six, but had I known what a dream they would be, definitely would have gotten more! As it is, I have sadly finished them within a week! All were stunningly rich and not-too-sweet, but if forced to choose favorites, I would say Peanut Butter, Toasted Almond and Apricot, and Honey & Lavender win Best in Show. Of note, some are even dairy free for your vegan friends!Prices are $8.50 to $12.50 for bars, $3.80 for truffles, and pretty standard to the market for everything else. The humble craft paper box is so sweet and rustic with its crimson raffia bow, and I appreciated the time the employees took to note the variety of each truffle for future reference. There is a little seating outside, and they offer curbside pickup, too. They took social distancing very seriously, only allowing three customers in the store at a time. My only regret was hearing someone order a toffee truffle, and realizing I had somehow missed out on that? How?! I suppose Ill just have to travel back to Colorado sometime to get one. Nuance merits the trip on its own.
When we come through Fort Collins, we always stop here for a visit. The chocolate is very high quality and it is obvious that the staff take great pride in what they do. We will definitely recommend Nuance Chocolate and look forward to our next visit.
Bean to bar is the ONLY way to make chocolate! Im always amazed at the subtle (and not so subtle) differences between various cacao producing regions. I highly recommend doing a single origin taster flight to experience the variety and depth of Nuances chocolates. Their bars and truffles make for excellent gifts and a true taste of Fort Collins.
Always amazing service and quality chocolate. Cant go wrong with ordering anything from this store.
If you like chocolate even a little bit go here now and raise your chocolate game.
I drive to FoCo FOR this place!
Amazing chocolate. Cant wait to come back to try more.
My go-to place for cocoa powder... Or to just eat amazing truffles while drinking hot chocolate.They even have chocolate bitters for cocktails! Also, theyre very helpful and knowledgeable in all their chocolate, and can tell you what might work best for whatever chocolate-based recipe you want to make.
Friendly staff, clean, safe and delicious chocolate. I miss the tasting though
This is my happy place🥰
Wow - a shop u would expect in a larger urban area! Great choclate and knowledgeable employees.
Greatest chocolate ever made combined with caring and courteous service equals the best chocolate shop in the world!Please support these awesome chocolatiers. Chocolate is super important especially in this time of crisis. They are still open and it is super easy to order online. I guarantee you’ll enjoy it.
Literally the best chocolate Ive ever had. This place makes chocolate like the best wine, which isnt something I thought Id care about. Everyone here is helpful and nice and frankly its just my favorite - nothing can come close anymore.
Tons of choices, have multiple tasting courses for many peoples needs. Employees know what they are talking about and seem to have a good time working there. Many different types of high quality chocolate and well as truffles, and they explain what the difference between each one is. Cozy and a wonderful experience.
While I love the story this place tells - local, responsibly sourced, etc - I keep coming back because its the best chocolate by far. Theyve ruined me for any other chocolate!
High quality chocolate, high quality customer service. Definitely worth the trip and the money.
Very cool place. Amazing variety of house made chocolate from scratch. They roast their own cocoa beans and start from there. Great vibe in the store. Knowledgeable staff - youll get an education in chocolate. Worth a visit if you are in the area!
Phenomenal. They weren’t sure of the fat percent of their cocoa powder, but all was forgiven when I tried their chocolate. You can tell I t was made with deep love. I’ve never had better chocolate. Not even close.
Nuance is great! Ever since making it part of my regular diet, my stress is down and my health is noticebly more vigorous. Chocolate bar a day keeps the doctor away.I order online, but their interior space is a fun place to go on a date, for a flight of chocolate, or to show people who are visiting from out of town.
So very yummy! Lots of choices and knowledgeable staff.
We love Nuance! The staff are all very knowledgeable and friendly. We always feel welcome and at ease. The chocolate is amazing, the largest variety of single-origin chocolate in the world! Plus a dizzying assortment of truffles, and rich sipping chocolate andhot cocoa.
If you like chocolate you may not like Nuance. If you love chocolate you will love Nuance.I visit for the “flights” of single origin chocolate. If you’ve not tried different chocolate side by side you are in for a treat. I always come away with a new favorite and none that I disliked. They are all great in their own way.This time of year (fall) is perfect for sipping chocolate. Better than gourmet hot chocolate.
Best chocolate you will eat in your life! Definitely worth a visit, you wont regret it.
Very friendly and knowledgeable staff, 3rd visit today and 3rd variety of chocolate flight. Served by the owner today who is very nice and friendly. Even though it was a little chilly out we had our dog with us and they accommodated us with their outside seating.
This place has the best chocolate anywhere. I walked 6 blocks in the cold without a coat to get here, its that good.
Great chocolate truffles, sipping chocolate and more. Quality is undeniable. The prices are pretty steep, but Ive never had better chocolate treats. Stop in, and the owner will gladly explain why this chocolate is something special. Friendly workers, great service.
Love the atmosphere me their chocolates! Just had some hot chocolate on a cold day and just had to pick up some bars. We decided to go wild and try the goat cheese chocolate bar
Extraordinary truffles. Lucky to have this nearby.
The service was so great! And the chocolate flight was so much fun! A whole chocolate tasting experience from around the world. Definitely something worth trying
The absolute BEST chocolate store you’ll find! Chocolate aficionado or not, I’ve never met a person who didn’t enjoy Nuance. Their use of single-origin, small-batch chocolate, combined with local ingredients makes for incredibly bright, quality chocolate with flavors you won’t find elsewhere. Everything in their store is amazing, trust me...I’ve tried it all!
Incredible chocolate. I dont even care how expensive it is, because its so damn worth it as a treat. The staff are never particularly outgoing or notably friendly, but they are knowledgeable and willing to share their wisdom. The chocolate itself is to die for. From the single origin bars to the well flavored truffles, Im into them all.
My family and I love this place, my favorite drink is the French press hot dark chocolate. Their selection is the most exquisite selection of cacao from all over the world.
For Chocoholic in need go here! Our chocolate attendae was very knowledgeable and expertiseed! Yum Burbon Ball not exactly a Burbon ball BUT a Burbon Truffle! Oh Gawd Oh Gawd YUM!
Amazing chocolate, made locally. The staff was extremely helpful. I will be coming back soon! Prices are a little high, but fair for the quality you get.
Cant say Im totally unbiased, but this place is amazing. Love the little goats everywhere. If I could give six stars, or a star with six points I would. Single Origin Flight #1 is an experience I would recommend.
Im a huge fan of chocolate and was excited to visit this store. The interior was very upscale and inviting. The staff was helpful and gave an explanation of their process and answered any questions. I ordered an $8 flight to split with my girlfriend and was a bit underwhelmed. The chocolate was great and I appreciated comparing one taste immediately against the others. But it was such a small amount of chocolate for the price. I didnt even inquire about the price of the bars or truffles at that point. Ill just consider myself a lucky chocolate fan that I can buy a large, quality bar of chocolate at a supermarket for about $3 and my cravings are satisfied.
I really loved this shop. Was so impressed with their chocolates. Theyre really top-notch! And loved that they had two sets of chocolate flights to sample!
What an unexpected taste experience! Not just a chocolate shop, this is an education in taste experience. We experienced the Single Origin Dark Taster Flight #2, a chance to taste dark chocolate samples made from cacao beans from different countries side by side. Surprising and delicious, this was more than just stopping for a sweet fix. The customer service was outstanding -- helpful, informative, passionate about what they do. Thank you!
