February invites indulgence, and few places capture the spirit of the season quite like DeBrand Fine Chocolates of Indianapolis. More than a place to pick up a box of chocolates, DeBrand is perfect for date nights, Galentine’s meetups, or an unhurried afternoon treat.
DeBrand partners, Bill and Lori Sonner, encourage guests to do more than browse—to taste. An exciting menu offering is the DeBrand Chocolate Tasting, which includes a selection from each of the Classic, Connoisseur, and Truffle collections, elegantly served on a tiered platter. Comfortable seating and inviting gathering spaces make it easy to linger with a warm drink and good conversation. “We want people to slow down and really experience the chocolates,” says Bill. “Tastings are our way of welcoming guests into the formal DeBrand experience.”
Pairings elevate the experience even further. The Hot Caramel drink pairs naturally with dark chocolate caramel pecan patties or a classic dark chocolate truffle, while the unapologetically rich Dark Hot Chocolate shines alongside a white chocolate key lime truffle or strawberry rhubarb caramel for a bright contrast. A cappuccino complements selections from the Connoisseur Collection—especially the pistachio or rosemary citrus, while the affogato (espresso over ice cream) offers a simple, elevated way to enjoy your visit.
For Valentine’s Day, DeBrand’s signature heart boxes make it easy to take something special home, with attentive staff helping guests thoughtfully build the perfect assortment—one piece at a time. “People really treasure these boxes,” Lori shares. “They come back year after year, and we get to help them curate something meaningful every time.”
