We have some great local chocolatiers in Cleveland... actually, in Lakewood alone there are several exceptional options.
That being said, Fear's carves out a unique market space for themselves which is why I'm sure they are here to stay.
First, they are obviously known for their quirky themed chocolates ranging from Dr. Who and Harry Potter to Star Wars which makes it the perfect gift spot for that nerd in your life who has everything. This is really what got me in the door today. I needed a quick and relatively inexpensive gift for a friend of mine. I walked out with some cute Star Wars stuff for her and of course a bag of goodies for myself.
I tried a nut cluster and a coconut cluster and yes, quite good. What really stood out was the Biscoff candy. Dayumm. Get you one of those. They are $2 a pop so hopefully that will deter you from eating 10 of them in one sitting. I also grabbed a cheesecake brownie. The brownies looked kind of unassuming so I wasn't expecting to be blown away... boy, was I wrong. This is the best brownie I've had in years. Perfectly moist and rich with a nice crunch on the outside. I would come back for the brownies specifically. I also loved that they were selling other local products including Cold Bloom Coffee drinks and art.
