    Always great service, and the quality of the chocolate is always top notch. Bought a medium signature sized box with 3 chocolate covered strawberries. Excellent gift for my girlfriend. She loved it.

    I’ve been a regular customer at Norman Love over the years and have always been impressed with the high quality of the chocolates and pastries. The staff is exceptional as well— Natalie has mastered my most complicated coffee drink, and she , Cathy and Jan are always super friendly. I always leave the store with delicious treats and a big smile!

    We went crazy in this place and got one of almost everything because it all looked good. It all tasted wonderful. We had small cakes bread pudding, truffles (15 different flavors) and 2 different coffees all 150% amazingly good. I actually want that bread pudding every night for dessert :)

    I’ve gone here many times over the years and chocolate has always been amazing. Now I live in Orlando and I order from them all the time. I recently scheduled an order and then realized I will be out of town when I set it to deliver. Kathy was amazing helped me change the delivery address and just made it really easy. Highly recommended on all fronts.

    Normally I love love love the dark chocolate collection box but it was disappointing today. The country sources have changed a bit and was not as good. That bitter taste you expect from 70-95% cocoa was not there. They all tasted like flavored milk chocolate. Still tasted good but did not taste like gourmet dark chocolate

    This is the best chocolate EVER! If you have never had it, put this on your bucket list. So many flavors. Hand made! Fresh! The staff will give you care instructions for your chocolate! What a lovely experience to sit and enjoy your gelato, surrounded by chocolate...and happy people.

    The motherland. We make a pilgrimage there annually. Worth the time and price. Taste as good as they look.

    Highly priced and worth every penny! Guys, this is the place to get sweets for your sweetheart. They love it. I like their fresh made ice cream. My wife loves their confections.

    My favorite chocolate of all time! Every time I visit SWFL, this is a must!! Way better than Ghirardelli (sorry, not sorry)! My husband has ordered it for me for Christmas & my birthday & it's always arrived in perfect, scrumptious condition!

    I cannot handle myself here - everything is so delicious. The gelato is outstanding, and so, of course, is the chocolate. Plus, employees are great!

  • 5/5 Gursharon M. 2 years ago on Google
    I love desserts and travel to some of the best places for them Norman Love did not disappoint. I tried four different desserts and many different chocolates. All were phenomenal my personal favorite on the dessert end was tied between the key lime pie and tiramisu.

    Out of this world chocolates

    We are very lucky to have this top drawer confectionery in our area. Most excellent.

  • 5/5 Vasyl P. 2 years ago on Google
    DO NOT leave this place without coffee!!! Beautiful place, tasty products

  • 5/5 Dri_ M. 2 years ago on Google
    The chocolate here is perfection, especially their BLACK box, (and I don't even like dark chocolate that much). I've had their Mother's Day, Easter, Valentine's Day, and Christmas boxes and they always deliver on looks and taste so if you're considering it for a gift I would go ahead. I just wish they changed their everyday flavors more often.

  • 4/5 Joe S. 4 years ago on Google
    Nice place with outrageous chocolate. The one cream is very good. Not the cheapest place but you get what you pay for.

  • 4/5 Sarah B. 1 year ago on Google
    Great stop for pastries and espresso. Loved the almond croissant and ham and cheese croissant. Our lattes were great! The only downside was our chocolate croissant had one small strip of chocolate inside. At over $4, we will choose a different pastry next time.

  • 5/5 Daisy C. 1 year ago on Google
    My visits to Norman Love Confections are always pleasing. The staff is kind, helpful and patient and what can I say about the confections other than they're pure perfection. Everything is delicious from the beautiful gems of chocolate to the gelato and crepes. Everything tastes as advertised and every item is just mouth watering. I love our Norman Love location in Fort Myers Florida, it is always very clean and inviting and close enough that my husband can always bring me my Valentines Day yummy gift box, every year, without fail. I'm a very satisfied customer.

  • 5/5 Gail L. 1 year ago on Google
    I was first introduced to Norman Love Confections in 2007. Since then, family, friends and clients have loved every morsel. In the corporate world, they have made a Great Gatsby Cake for our firm's anniversary, solid chocolate law books, and have the best team for holiday gifting. Warning - they will spoil your taste buds for chocolate of any lesser quality. 5 Stars!

  • 4/5 Marlon I. 1 year ago on Google
    We always stop by when we visit the area: chocolates are both good and beautiful (we prefer dark) and the pastries are a sight to behold. The sipping chocolate is divine: please don't ever stop selling this! A few items are now available at local Whole Foods but the complete assortment of goodies are only at the boutiques.

  • 5/5 Katiria O. 1 year ago on Google
    These are some of the best chocolates I've ever had in my life! The flavors just pop through and are so delicious. The pastries look amazing, but I will admit I have not tried those.

  • 5/5 Heather P. 1 year ago on Google
    Limited edition blueberry chocolate is delicious, also tried the cupcake chocolate and loved it too. Whether you’re visiting or a Florida native Norman Love is a must try. Many options from single chocolates, to pastries, gelato, and other sweet treats. Very rich flavors, no one else compares!

  • 5/5 John R. 1 year ago on Google
    Norman Love chocolates and pastries live up to your highest expectations. For our 40th wedding anniversary it was rubies & Norman Love chocolates without a doubt. Plus a special bonus of one of their incredible blueberry muffins. Definitely the best!

  • 2/5 Debbie M. 1 year ago on Google
    Just went to the Miromar Outlets store and tried to order (4) 15 piece boxes and (2) 10 piece boxes and was told they could only do 5. Reason is they had a line. When I entered there was no line, 1.person in front of me. Line form because the male employee wasn't waiting on customers initially. I do this every year and have never had an issue. If you are going to limit the customers then put up a sign and I wouldn't have wasted my time. Now going to Noella Chocolates

  • 5/5 Theresa K. 11 months ago on Google
    Bought for my sister for Mother’s Day. Great customer service and shipping. And oh my goodness….the chocolates! Adorable and delectable!

  • 5/5 Marc V. 10 months ago on Google
    Just recently discovered Norman Love Confections! I truthfully love their gelato, chocolates and friendly staff. They are informative and put the customers first. Thank you for the amazing experience.

  • 5/5 Holly L. 1 year ago on Google
    My "go-to" for over the top chocolates! We were gifted with a small box of Norman Love chocolates some years ago. When I opened the box I said "these are too pretty to eat." But, of course we did eat them and WOW! Now if I want to send a special gift, we only send Norman Love Chocolates. They are true artisans.

  • 5/5 Krystal K. 1 year ago on Google
    I'm truly not a chocolate fan, but this is the BEST I have ever had! Wow! The flavors are amazing and I couldn't get enough! This first timer will be back again soon!!! Everything was delicious!

  • 5/5 Sandra E. 11 months ago on Google
    I can't say enough good things about this chocolate!!!..I typically only eat chocolate covered nuts & don't like filled chocolate. But the fillings in these chocolates are so smooth & luxurious!!..Love, love , love it..I was in the store in Naples, Fla and the people working there couldn't have been any kinder & helpful..Everything there was so good pastries, cookies, Gelato, coffee & more..Can't wait to go back🌞🌞

  • 5/5 B C. 5 years ago on Google
    Love it here. Gorgeous chocolates and pastries. Coffee drinks are amazing. Mexican hot chocolate was spicy yet refreshing. A great place even if a bit pricey. You pay for the quality. Never had anything here we didn't actually love. Said eat the chocolates they were pretty

  • 5/5 Donna I. 3 years ago on Google
    Every visit to Norman Love's Chocolates is straight up heaven, from the moment you walk in the door to polishing off the last of the remarkable chocolates.

  • 5/5 Fat K. 3 years ago on Google
    The selection of gourmet chocolate is unlike anything I have ever seen. They are amazing. The staff is very friendly too. Little expensive, but it is about what you'd expect from a place with such high end chocolate. The Gelato was really good as well. Worth a try!

  • 5/5 Kimberly Z. 5 years ago on Google
    This was my first visit to the Norman Love home base, and it was to attend a class for making truffles. It was so much more than a class, it was an experience. Dan was our expert in all things chocolate. He led us through the process of the truffles, shared his knowledge of chocolate making and his enthusiasm of working with Norman Love. This was thoroughly enjoyable, and I will return for another class in a heartbeat!

  • 5/5 Larry S. 3 years ago on Google
    Fantastic selection of fine chocolates and other items. Friendly and helpful staff.

  • 5/5 Bev H. 3 years ago on Google
    Oh my gosh! Haven't been to Norman Love in ages. When in the area today, did a U-turn. Picked out a few chocolates, a couple beautiful desserts, a pastry, and, of course, gelato. We will be fighting over the treats for the next few days! But the gelato is mine! One of the flavors- Blood Orange- is sheer summer bliss! Must try this one with the tang of the citrus in gelato form. Of course, the staff is as pleasant and helpful as always. 😊

  • 3/5 Mohit P. 3 years ago on Google
    Amazing designs of chocolates, hard to decide whether to eat or adore. Presentation ,packaging and descriptions is really good . But you pay for everything, chocolates are expensive $$$$. In end I payed almost $100 for two boxes.

    The best thing

  • 5/5 Eva-Faith B. 4 years ago on Google
    This has been my favorite chocolate place since childhood. It may be a bit pricey, but it's so worth it. Everything is so beautiful, you almost don't want to eat it, but once you do, you can't stop. Anyone with a few minutes and some money to spare should definitely drop by and try some. My personal favorite are their key lime shells.

  • 5/5 Suso J. 4 years ago on Google
    Yum-delicious. Knowledgeable and courteous staff.

  • 5/5 Robin F. 3 years ago on Google
    The store is beautiful and the staff was very friendly and helpful. We bought some gifts for friends back home so didn’t get to try them. I would have bought more if I’d been able to try even one. Hope they’re as good as I’ve heard!

  • 5/5 C O. 4 years ago on Google
    Awesome chocolate and service!
