About Katherine Anne Confections

This shop has a long history of making delicious magic. Only In  Your State went on to say,

This little shop is more than a labor of love - it's a whole life's passion all wrapped up into one deliciously chocolatey little truffle of wonderfulness. I'm speaking, of course, of our very own Katherine Anne Confections.

The website shows off not only their normal chocolate candies, but their drinks as well.

We offer the same menu at both locations: our handmade truffles, caramels, marshmallows and drinking chocolate, along with a full-service espresso bar and pastries. We aim to be a community gathering space where folks can enjoy their drinking chocolate, coffee or tea along with savory cafe sandwiches or salads. We launch a new truffle and caramel each week, along with several monthly flavors to keep things fun.

They also do local events. Katherine Anne Confections now has two locations, and seems to be doing very well in the world of chocolate. You can learn more here.
