Sweet Cascades

The owner & staff are very friendly and there to help if you need it! They have a huge selection. Their truffles are delicious as well as beautiful! Definitely Instagram worthy! I had some chocolate bacon as well! It had tiny pieces of bacon in the Chocolate, not bad! If you walk down mainstreet of Old Ellicott, you’ll pass this place, so stop in and get a couple truffles, you won’t regret it.

A nice selection of chocolates here. One of the items that are interesting are their chocolates with spicy salt. The scorpion salt version is SUPER spicy. The ghost chili version is more mild. The macaroons are also very delicious and very large. Definitely want to come back again to try some more things.

Amazing chocolates and owners! Love supporting local businesses who are so kind and care to make you feel special every time you come in.

This is a small chocolate shop in the heart of old historic Ellicott city. When you step into the shop you are shot with a smell of sweet chocolate.
The store is covered with all sorts of chocolate concoctions. They offer chocolate covered graham crackers to chocolate covered peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. They have rows upon rows of different truffle flavors. They have everything from old bay to lavender. They have rose flavored truffles to sea salt caramels.
Their truffles are scrumptious and sweet gems in a chocolate shell. Their chocolate covered pretzels are decadent and very filling. I believe if you are in the historic district of old Ellicott city, you have to stop by this chocolate store.
It’s the perfect way to end your trip at old Ellicott and the perfect way to end this review.

This is absolutely my favorite chocolatier! The do everything from regular bonbons to things such as old bay crabs, wedgies, «not your momma’s apple pie» (it’s like you’re actually eating apple pie) but the best part is the non-​traditional items such as their milk chocolate cereal bars, chocolate covered cheese puffs, chocolate covered Doritos, Jim bean truffles, Jack Daniels truffles and my absolute favorite treat chocolate covered marshmallow ice cream cones! Basically if it’s edible they can, will and probably have dipped in chocolate and made it that much better!
P. S. If you need a gift for the person that has everything, you should get a bottle of their favorite alcohol (beer, wine, etc) and bring it to the shop and get it decorated and covered completely in chocolate!

Wonderful chocolate shop! Dropped in on a late afternoon stop in Ellicott City and browsed the cases. Massive selection, from the traditional truffle to the weird chocolate dipped Cheetos and Doritos.
I picked up a few things– smoretella, a chocolate dipped Nutella smore which was great and I wish I’d bought more than one. Nut barks– almond, pistachio, and cashew which all had a good nut to chocolate ratio (wish I had more of this too). Nutella milk chocolate tea biscuits, and a milk chocolate salty ball (haha).
The people were friendly and the prices for handmade goodies was fair for what it was (and that it’s a sweet shop in a tourist area). If I’m in the area again I’ll stop by for sure.

I stopped in and got some truffles here. The staff was really friendly and they had a pretty good selection of chocolates to choose from. The truffles were delicious and well packaged. In addition to chocolates, they also sell coffee and milkshakes. I got a milkshake which was also pretty great. I will be back… hopefully not too much!

This is my favorite chocolate shop! I love visiting and checking out what amazing new treats they come up with! I am addicted to their s’more, chocolate covered graham crackers and all their marshmallows! I absolutely love this place and can’t wait to go back at least once a week! I am 29 weeks pregnant and their location and chocolate are perfect for me to get a little walk and a delicious treat! Their staff is kind and accommodating! They always greet me with a smile :) I have walked out, eaten some of my goodies as I walked to my car and had to turn back to get a few more because they were soo good!

I love this place! Very dangerous since I can walk to it. The milk or dark chocolate old bay crabs are great! My coworkers loved them. Caramels, choc covered caramels, marshmallows covered in caramel, Jamison truffle, so much stuff! I have not come across anything I have not liked. They have chocolate covered/​dipped anything. And very friendly staff!

God bless the mom and pop businesses of America. Although they do not possess a gigantic inventory, their chocolates are some of the best around. Their creative concoctions including a ghost pepper caramel and salt delicacy, was one of the best candies I have eaten in years. My only regret, was only buying one chocolate while visiting this location. Give this place a try, You will not be disappointed.

The chocolates are fantastic — can’t say enough about them (personal favorites are the truffles and the salted caramels.) Several out of state friends insist we bring them Sweet Cascades chocolates with every visit. The owners are lovely and extremely helpful. We did a truffle-​making workshop which was a fantastic experience for a birthday, team-​building, shower, or just a nice weekend event. Two hours to learn how to work with chocolate, taste many samples, and learn to make truffles. We had a wonderful time and Sue was a terrific teacher — we certainly plan to make it an annual event.

Sweet Cascades is my favorite store for chocolate, it tastes divine and the quality is consistent. In my opinion a treat is not a treat unless there is chocolate in it. I love the variety that is available, and there are so many pretty pieces of candy to buy. Delite your tastebuds and visit Sweet Cascades!

We just had a girl scout event at Sweet Cascades and the experience was wonderful. The chocolates are incredible and the owners are so nice. We have been here numerous times and every time we leave with amazing chocolates.

Awesome! Awesome! Awesome! This place is a real candy store with an outstanding selection of handmade chocolates. The variety is mind numbing in a good way.
Make the time to stop in, so worth it!

I love truffles. These are the best truffles I’ve ever had. Each one was wonderful and true to it’s name. They had the perfect bite and texture, and you could literally taste how fresh they were.
On a side note, I noticed behind the glass that the «chocolate covered strawberries» weren’t there, so I asked why. The man sounded disappointed and replied that they simply couldn’t find any strawberries that were up to their standards that morning, so unfortunately they couldn’t make them. It was nice to know that they wouldn’t try to sell half decent strawberries, like most places seem to do.

Great chocolate shop in historic Ellicott City. I’ve had the chocolates several times, but it wasn’t until we scheduled a chocolate making class that I felt the need to review. It was awesome!!! Group age range from 8 — 60 — we all had a blast, learned a lot, giggled a lot, and best of all, ate a LOT of chocolate and took some home. Really cool, fun event to do with friends or family!

This place is amazing! The truffles are absolutely wonderful (especially the dark chocolate and lavender). The owner is very sweet, and friendly, and you can tell that she loves what she does. SO great. :)

I had an awesome experience at his sweet little candy shop!!! There was so much to choose from. My lady friend and I had a very romantic moment being introduced to different sweet candy treats and I definitely know where to go when she has her little sweet tooth. Along with that most importantly the service was stellar!!! I am a big fan of good customer service and when it happens it should be recognized.
Go Sweet Cascades I believe in You!

Yum Yum Yum! The lavender choclate was very unique and tasty. At first I thought I was eating bath soap, but the chocolate gave it a nice flavor that complimented the herby lavendar scent. The apple pie chocolate was delicious, but be careful to not just bite it in half — or the apple juice will go everywhere.

Choco-​love. This cute little chocolate and confections shop will have you smitten as soon as you walk in and are welcomed by the cocoa-​roma and the small-​town warmth of the staff who work here.
All the chocolates are hand-​dipped, all the confections are handmade. And there is quite the tempting selection of inventive, creative, and unique sweets. «Family sized» peanut butter cups the size of salad plates, s’mores bars made with crushed graham cracker and marshmallow fluff, chocolate covered Rice Krispie treats and Oreos and pretzels, buckeyes, sea salted caramels, cherry clusters, sunflower seed and cayenne brittle, white chocolate truffles, Terp turtles. The staff are happy to let you sample many of the goods before you purchase.
Husband and SIL tried their signature bacon chocolate with extra-​crisp bacon crumbles, which husband said came close to Vosge’s Mo bar. We tried their signature Old Bay chocolate crabs: miniature chocolate crabs infused with Old Bay seasoning. We were skeptical, but they turned out to be divine — salty, spicy, and peppery contrasting the smooth, sweet, and creamy milk chocolate.
We bought half a dozen milk and dark chocolate crabs and a s’mores bar. We left with huge smiles on our faces. What a gem in historic Ellicott City.
