If there was ever a food holiday worth celebrating, it’s National Milk Chocolate Day, held this year on July 28. We found nine places in Nashville to score some sweet treats, today or any other day of the year.
1. Goo-Goo Chocolate Co
There truly is something for everyone at the Goo-Goo Chocolate Co, located in the heart of downtown Nashville. Buy some of their world-famous chocolate candy, create your own concoction, or take one of their chocolate classes, such as Secrets of Goo Goo, or Goos & Booze.
116 3rd Ave S, Nashville, TN 37201
2. East Park Donuts and Coffee
East Park Donuts and Coffee have several options for chocolate lovers, with their wide variety of donuts, including their Chocolate Old-Fashioned Sour Cream donut, or their C.B.D. Malted Chocolate. East Park also has a full breakfast and lunch menu, with both healthy and indulgent choices.
700 Main St, Nashville, TN 37206
3. Legendairy Milkshake Bar
Legendairy Milkshake Bar has so many options for chocolate lovers, with their hand-made crafted milkshakes. Try their Death by Chocolate, with chocolate ice cream, chocolate icing, chocolate sprinkles, chocolate whipped cream, chocolate sauce, and chocolate chips, and if that isn’t enough chocolate, it comes topped with a chocolate brownie. Big enough to share!
171 3rd Ave N, Nashville, TN 37201
4. Savannah’s Candy Kitchen
Chocolate lovers, rejoice. Savannah’s Candy Kitchen is a dream come true for every chocoholic. The downtown Nashville store offers hard-to-find Southern sweets, including a variety of handmade fudge. They also have a full bakery, with cakes, pies and other items, such as German Chocolate cake, and cake trios, with the ability to combine some of your favorite treats.
310 Broadway, Nashville, TN 37201
5. Sadie’s
Sadie’s has some of our favorite Mediterranean-inspired food, which is healthy enough to leave room for their decadent Chocolate, Chocolate, Chocolate dessert. Yes, that’s really what it’s called, which is the appropriate name for this delicious treat, which is pot de creme, chocolate espresso beans and cacao nibs — made for the true chocolate lover.
1200 Villa Pl, Nashville, TN 37212
6. Adele’s
Adele’s has a chocolate dessert that is, quite literally, to die for — and we don’t say that lightly. Their Chocolate Budino comes topped with Chantilly cream and cocoa nibs — and it’s only $10. The perfect ending after lunch or dinner.
1210 McGavock St, Nashville, TN 37203
7. The Baked Bear
The Baked Bear allows you to create your own chocolate (or any other flavor) dessert of your dreams, by making your own ice cream sandwich. Choose a cookie flavor, or mix and match, with options like Chocolate Chip, Nutella Chocolate Chunk and more. Ice cream flavors include Caramel Pretzel Fudge, Cookies and Cream and Mud Pie. Top with hot fudge, brownie bits, mini M&Ms and more.
1809 Division St, Nashville, TN 37203
8. Olive & Sinclair Chocolate Company
Olive & Sinclair Chocolate Company has a wide variety of chocolates and candies, including their Mexican-Style Cinnamon Chili bar, or their Sea Salt Chocolate Bar. They also offer tours, where you can watch how the chocolate is made, and then leave with your own supply of chocolate.
1628 Fatherland St, Nashville, TN 37206
9. The Cupcake Collection
Many cupcake bakeries mass-produce their cupcakes, leaving them a bit dry and lacking flavor. Not so with The Cupcake Collection. In spite of churning out hundreds of cupcakes each day, each one is full of flavor, and tastes fresh and perfectly homemade. Try their Blackout Cupcake, Cookies N’ Cream or their standard (and delicious) chocolate cupcake.
