    Great Lakes chocolate is a fantastic destination for anyone in the Traverse City area looking for some delicious desserts. Their selection of truffles, bonbons, and chocolate bars is truly impressive, and the fact that they source their beans from around the world using direct trade processes is a testament to their commitment to quality and sustainability. One of their standout offerings is their signature dessert, Life by Chocolate (one of my dad’s favorites). The owners, Shana and Dave, are also incredibly friendly and passionate about what they do. It's clear that they take great care in every step of the process, from sourcing the beans to crafting the final product. In addition to their many chocolate offerings, they also has a variety of coffee and tea drinks, covered cherries and almonds, and daily selection of cookies, scones, and pastries. All in all, Great Lakes chocolate is a must-visit destination for anyone in the Traverse City area looking to treat themselves to some truly special desserts.

    Wow what a great place to stop an shop for desserts. I ordered cookies for my son's wedding and they were fantastic. I had so many compliments on them. They were so helpful and were able to get a large last minute order with ease. I will make this a must see stop when I'm up north again. I can't recommend them enough.

    Amazing service. Amazing sweets. I ordered a bunch of things for Christmas for myself (excuse the dorm mess) and everything was great. The best thing about trying everything I had is learning that I really love scones and it's probably my favorite pastry I've had ever. I wish I ordered more scones. Their cheesecake is of course why I came here and it's great. For anyone that wants a slide or cheesecake (OH YEAH CARROT TAKE TOO), check out this place. Don't do what I did and order 12 slices for yourself. 😅

    I ordered cookies for my sons wedding and WOW! They were fantastic! I got so many compliments from our guests. If you you travel to Traverse City you really must stop and pick up some treats. I found out they make their own chocolate. I 100% recommend using this company. They were so responsive and helpful to me during the ordering and pick up process. I can't say enough good things. I'll be ordering some gifts from them soon.

    The best chocolate around!! AND convenient! I don't live in TC any longer and was able to go online, order a gift certificate for my sister who lives in TC for her birthday, and it was emailed to her!! Immediately. Thank you for making it so easy to purchase and deliver a gift that I know will be appreciated and enjoyed!

    Great people running the place! They explained the chocolate making process, tasted some roasted cocoa beans. Overall great chocolate desserts and coffee. Liked the bourbon tart and chocolate Jo. Great cheesecake varieties. Not a fan of the chocolate tea but was new experience too.
