Located in beautiful St. Pete Beach, Florida, Chocolate Specialties by Joe is your one-stop source for fine, handmade, European Style Chocolates, and spectacular deserts.
We serve the following local areas: Downtown St Petersburg, St Petersburg Beach, Largo, Seminole, Tierra Verde and Treasure Island.
The hallmark of Chocolate Specialties is that all baked products are made to order. You never have to settle for off-the-shelf. Turn around times on cakes are 24-36 hours. Pies: if you order in the morning, you pickup in the evening. QUALITY AND FRESHNESS IS WHAT SETS US APART FROM THE REST.
My chocolate candies and custom cakes and desserts are made using the
finest and freshest ingredients available and I never use any preservatives.
I make all of my products from scratch.
The chocolates and cakes are made on the premises at my St. Pete Beach,
Florida location. If you are purchasing this product on-line, I hope
you will be able to visit my shop and see how the products are made.
If you are local and are enjoying my cakes and chocolates, I am confident
I will see you again and again.
Also, when I travel, I make it a point to visit local chocolate shops
to capture new ideas and flavor combinations that I may bring home to
enhance the chocolate product line.

TESTIMONIALS: Hear what others are saying about us:
I would like to thank you for delivering a special birthday cake to the Don Cesar Maritana on July 16th for my daughters birthday. Living in New York City, I was accustomed to fabulous cakes and chocolates, however... your Chocolate Cake with the banana cream filling, and the roses you set at the dinner table were ABOVE & BEYOND my expectations. I cannot thank you enough for your time and effort in helping to make my daughters birthday so memorable. The cake was sooo extraordinarily delicious (truly divine!)that we are still enjoying it day by day (slowly savoring every last morsel). I will be so happy to refer you to all of my friends at the St Petersberg Country Club for any and all future events.

Joe, thanks for responding so promptly. We have yet to find chocolates as good as yours anywhere (we just returned from San Francisco visiting our son - and their choc. wasn't as good!). Thanks so much. We love your chocolate. Our order should be 24 ebony/ivory, 12 Frangelica truffles, 12 choc/raspberry truffles and let's go with 24 sugar-free choc. covered cherries (milk chocolate).

Joe,
My husband Matt and I were in your shop the other day and were blown
away after eating your chocolates. My kids teacher's are so wonderful
so I would love to bring them a little assorted chocolate box. I would
like to spend $12-15.00 each for 6 total teachers.

I'm enjoying my Valentine Day box of goodies given to me by my husband. I live on the beach and look forward to stopping in you shop soon.
