A little sweet

UPDATE: Poco Dolce closed this location in May 2019 and is relocating to the North Bay. Some items are available for sale online.

Local Chocolatier Factory StorePoco Dolce Confections was established in 2003 by Kathy Wiley as an Italian bakery but it quickly evolved into a chocolate company making the tiles that they are best known for: Little bites of dark chocolate in a variety of flavors and topped with sea salt.

The name translates as “Not too sweet” which describes their chocolates, which lean toward the savory side. Maybe the most unusual example of this is their Olive Oil Bunnies and Chocolate Bars. The olive oil changes the texture of the dark chocolate to a creamy/slippery feel like olive oil.

While the store is no longer open, Poco Dolce is still making their tiles and molded chocolates on a limited basis. Check their website and social media for what’s currently available.
