Artisanal Chocolate Heaven in Sarasota – Norman Love Confections
If you’re searching for the best chocolate shop in Sarasota, look no further than Norman Love Confections. As a chocolate lover and dessert enthusiast, I made not one, but two visits during my recent trip—and I’d go back again in a heartbeat.
On my first visit, I picked up a 5-piece box of beautifully crafted artisanal chocolates. Each piece looked like a miniature painting—visual eye candy that delivers unforgettable flavor. Rich, luxurious, and perfectly balanced, these chocolates are made for those who truly appreciate gourmet craftsmanship. Even the elegant boxes are worth saving—so well-designed they feel like gifts themselves.
The mango gelato also blew me away—bright, tropical, and silky smooth. It’s the kind of refreshing treat you’ll crave on a warm Florida day.
The shop is also stocked with a variety of house-made chocolate bars and seasonal specialties, making it easy to discover new favorites or bring home a special edible souvenir. Every bite reflects the brand’s attention to detail and passion for chocolate artistry.
The customer service stood out, too. Xavier, one of the staff members even shared photos of his latte and crepe art, which added a thoughtful, personal touch and made the experience feel extra memorable.
I returned a few days later to pick up a Key Lime Cake and Tiramisu for my family—both were phenomenal. The Key Lime Cake was zesty, creamy, and refreshing, while the Tiramisu was rich, velvety, and indulgent.
Whether you’re a Sarasota local or just passing through, Norman Love Confections is a must-visit for artisan chocolate, luxury desserts, and handcrafted indulgence. It’s a delicious destination for foodies, sweet tooths, and anyone who loves flavor-forward experiences.

Supwr delicious goods! The lemon strawberry cake was amazing, and so was the chocolate one! The cakes are so pretty that you don’t want to spoon into them and mess them up. The chocolate lover’s coffee was like dark chocolate milk. I love the mugs. They’re so fancy. The staff are so kind and gave myself and my husband a free chocolate to sample. The hazelnut one was heavenly. We will be back!

I love their bonbons so much that my husband surprises me with a full box every now and then and we live in NJ! Every time we visit Florida, we make sure to stop by for some chocolate. It’s hard to pick favorites because they’re all just too good!

Excellent food and service!! Lunch today was the chicken pesto savory crepe and it was delicious. For desert we chose an assortment of chocolates to enjoy at home. We really enjoyed our conversation with Eddie, the manager, who is really the perfect brand ambassador for NLC. He took the time to tell us about their upcoming expansions in other cities and offered a sample of 97% dark chocolate from El Salvador from the BLACK collection. So glad he did, because we left with a box from that collection. We will be back whenever we visit Sarasota because this location delivers both on flavor and service.

Norman’s love review
The store is located to the right of Trader Joe’s, and to the right of J. Crew.
Food:Gourmet chocolates made with hard work and dedication. I read on their site they leave out the preservatives.
Service:The team behind the delicious treats, creates not only for the taste buds but culinary artistry.
Jeremy, Emily, and Kemily were all so welcoming and informative.
They even let me try the most popular chocolates. Really great individuals. Thank you!!!
Atmosphere:Very open and spacious. The counter is further in the building. When you walk in to the left are a few boxes of chocolates.
Super clean and fresh since they moved locations.
All in all outstanding!!! Can’t wait to share this place with my loved ones!

The place is beautiful, the staff is very nice, but they play HORRIBLE, horrible, horrible, music.
This is an upper-end chocolatier. Your corporate office needs to choose the music selection more appropriately.

Wow! We had the Brookie and Tiramisu as well as sampling the gelato and truffles. Everything was excellent. The employee that assisted us was wonderful as well.

Wow!! Decided to stop in this little store last minute and was blown away at the selection quality and service! Eddie was so personable and helped us decide what to get. The presentation and flavors was just out of this world! Coffee was also delicious! They also offer non dairy milk products for the coffee. We will definitely be back!

Amazing stuff! Perfection is all I can say and the staff here is so welcoming. Every item looks like a piece of art. Made from the finest ingredients and with lots of love. I can wait to return to try their lattes.

Would’ve been a 5 except for this experience:
Tried to contact NL via a couplemways, only to be blocked.
Emailed them days ago with no response.
We are enthusiastic fans of Norman Love, bring their creations to dinner parties, and make frequent stops to self indulge at the LWR location. However, we were stunned to learn our favorite has been discontinued.
The Red Eye is the best item for us and we’ve enjoyed it over the past couple years. We stopped in a few days ago only to be told “the weekly special” is no longer available. Frankly, the Red Eye is one of the reasons we frequent Norman Love. When we get one, we also buy other treats and chocolates.
Help me understand. It;s basically a milkshake with shots of espresso. If it wasn’t cost effective, then charge more. Don’t tell me I can’t have it. You still make milkshakes and espresso. What’s the big deal? Charge me more, don’t make it a special. I could essentially order a chocolate shake and 2 shots of espresso and voila, there’s a red eye.
Most upsetting, you didn’t answer my question from a couple days ago. Customer service?. We may not be back.
