Palm Beach has always been synonymous with luxury — and now, it has become the ultimate destination for fine chocolate. With three new boutiques opening their doors, discerning Palm Beachers can savor hand-crafted confections from France, Italy, and Switzerland, each offering a world-class experience that delights the senses and defines indulgence.
Bissinger’s – A Taste of Paris on Royal Poinciana Way
📍 251 Royal Poinciana Way, Palm Beach, FL 33480
Founded in 1668 in Paris, Bissinger’s began as confectioner to the King of France and European nobility. More than 350 years later, this family-owned chocolatier continues to handcraft exquisite confections using copper kettles and time-honored techniques.
The newly opened Palm Beach boutique is a feast for the senses — serving freshly made chocolates, hot cocoa, and Bissinger’s signature coffee. Guests are encouraged to sample before they buy, a truly rare luxury. The knowledgeable staff will guide you through the decadent offerings, including exclusive Palm Beach-only chocolates. It’s a destination where old-world craftsmanship meets island sophistication.
Venchi – Italian Elegance and Gelato Bliss
📍 The Gardens Mall, Palm Beach Gardens
From Turin, Italy, Venchi brings over a century of artisanal mastery to Palm Beach. Established in 1878 by Silviano Venchi, the brand is celebrated for its chocolate artistry and authentic Italian gelato.
The Palm Beach Gardens boutique is a vibrant, elegant escape — featuring hand-crafted chocolates, creamy gelato, affogato served in gold-rimmed martini glasses, and rich Italian espresso. Guests are encouraged to sample their favorite flavors — from the indulgent Gianduja gelato to the signature dark chocolate. Warm, charming staff and a lively atmosphere transport you straight to Italy with every bite.
Läderach – The Swiss Art of Chocolate
📍 The Gardens Mall, Palm Beach Gardens
A symbol of Swiss precision and luxury, Läderach has been perfecting chocolate since 1962. Step into this boutique and you’re enveloped in the rich aroma of fine cocoa. Each confection is beautifully crafted — as artistic as it is delicious.
Their signature chocolate bark is a must-try: elegantly refined, not overly sweet, and beautifully balanced. Tastings are often available, helping you choose from an array of Swiss masterpieces that showcase the purity and quality for which Switzerland is renowned.
Whether your preference is French sophistication, Italian passion, or Swiss precision, Palm Beach now offers a taste of Europe — no passport required.
If you’re considering buying or selling Palm Beach real estate, we invite you to join us for a chocolate tasting at one of these exquisite shops — and discover the possibilities of Palm Beach living.
