I had a great experience at the Chocolate Chisel. Cute establishment, friendly, knowledgable employees, and DELICIOUS chocolates and ice cream! I can't wait to come back.

Very comfortable atmosphere. Beautiful decorations for every holiday and season. Amazing ice cream, especially with a chocolate dipped waffle cone :) And the chocolate is to die for! I have always been a Ghirardelli, dark chocolate person. But, since I've tried The Chocolate Chisel's dark, I will never buy another piece of Ghirardelli again.

I highly recommended visiting "The Chisel" if you're a visitor or local.

The Chocolate Chisel in Port Washington is all about the beauty and quality of their chocolates! The truffles are true works of art, both visually and to your palate. We stopped on our way to Door County, and were so impressed, that we stopped on the way home for more goodies! Both my husband and I are chocolate snobs, and we were both impressed. We will be back. Oh...can't forget to mention how friendly and helpful the staff were, you can tell they love working at the "Chisel".

I don't normally like truffles at all, and I'm pretty ambivalent about chocolate in general (I know, I'm a weirdo), but the truffles here are delicious! I love the fruit flavors like raspberry and lemon, and the dark chocolate they have isn't bitter. Whenever I'm having a romantic night with my boyfriend, I like to pick up a bunch of truffles here.

The chocolates are tiny works of art and masterpieces of flavor! The staff are extremely friendly and helpful. I have been here seberal times, and have never had a bad experience. The owners are almost always there to personally greet you and are ready to answer any questions and are always open to suggestions for new flavors, etc. they even have Sassy Cow ice cream! Delish! This is a wonderly friendly local business with great potential for a "must stop" when visiting and a "must frequent" for locals.

The chocolate sold at this quaint little store in the quaint little town of Port Washington is incomparable. This is a chocolate that delights the tastebuds and satisifies the brain and soul!
