When and how did your business get started?
Pat started making chocolate about five years ago because he missed the good chocolate he remember having as a child. As a trained Chef, he added his creations to his catering menu. In May of 2013, we were lucky enough to find a great storefront in Beverly.
What is your business best known for?
Jakes & Jacques, sea salted caramel bars, bacon peanut butter cups and Howies.
Why did you choose the town you did to open your business?
Because this is home.
What's something interesting about your business your customers might not know?
We will dip almost anything edible in chocolate at your request.
