    This may be a chocolate shop, but they have the most amazing cupcakes I have ever had.  I tried them at an event at the Florida Aquarium recently and couldn't believe how fantastic they were.  

    I'm a vanilla convert after these.  They are as beautiful as they are delicious!  Perfect for an event or celebration.  They might even replace my birthday favorite of the basic Publix cake with buttercream icing!

    When I called to place an order the gentleman on the line was very friendly and helpful and the ladies in the shop when I went in to pick them up were wonderful as well.  I highly recommend Qachbal's!

    I am a huge fan of Godiva stores. To me they represent the pinnacle of candydom.  So to find myself recommending another chocolatier is truly amazing.  Qachbal's however has earned my sweet tooth.

    Located in the semi abandoned Channelside sure doesn't help.  But if you're into chocolates and other candy you owe it to yourself to pay them a visit.  The selection is simply breathtaking.  Check out some of the pictures I posted to see for yourself.  And the quality of their products are top notch.  This is not your garden variety CVS or Walgreens candy.  This gives Godiva a good run for their money.

    The staff is helpful and friendly.  It's a shame I can't visit them as often as I can.  Actually, let me rephrase.  I visit them evey time I'm in Channelside which is very often, but I don't buy anything.  It's just my way of torturing myself while I stick to my diet.  But once in a while I indulge.  And this is surely chocolate heaven.  I'm a fan!

    This stores offers any type of chocolate you can imagine!  Whether you are in the mood for truffles, chocolates, cake, brownies, chocolate covered (insert any food word), or handmade creations they have it here.

    A little pricey, but can you really put a price on good chocolate?

    Qachbal's is a great chocolate lover's find!

    I am lucky enough to walk there so I justify picking the most decadent desserts to try as I can "walk" it off.  Qachbal's also has a large selection of confections and candy as well!

    The large truffles dipped in white chocolate and decorated are my favorite! We have also tried an assortment box that we chose ourselves of the smaller truffles, the hot pepper (with the orange jelly belly on top) I think was the most creative in our assorted pieces.

    We have also tried the loose candy (sold by weight) and that tasted very fresh.  I haven't had an opportunity to try their flavored drinks or fudge but I have noticed many people ordering these items.

    My only complaint (and honestly it won't keep me away) is the service.  Every single time we have been in there; the people who work there seem MISERABLE! There appears to be no pride in their work or in what their products are, or when you ask questions you get a blank stare or death stare.  

    I would recommend to the owner that they work with their staff, start with smiling, like I said this won't keep me away, but I live in the neighborhood.  If I was visiting and observed the staff and their attitude I may think twice about buying the delicious chocolates and confections waiting inside!

    We popped in quickly when wandering through Channelside.

    We didn't make any purchases because I'm trying to be a little healthier these days, but what a selection!  If it involved chocolate they had it.  I would certainly consider this place if I needed an edible gift.  

    Next time we go to Channelside, I might have to treat myself!

    I stopped here last night, after watching a movie at Channelside. I was drawn in by a sign saying that they had CHOCOLATE DIPPED FROZEN BANANAS. Do you know how hard those are to come by? Incredibly hard. Unless you're at a fair or some giant dessert factory. Either way, I grabbed a Chocolate Dipped Frozen Banana with Almonds (I LOVE almonds) to go, and I must say it was amazingly good, and four bucks isn't a bad price to pay for something so rare and tasty. I'll surely be going back soon.

    Randomly found this small chocolate shop while exploring Tampa, and ohmigoodness, chocolate smoothies of every kind awaited me.  So so delicious.  Had the chocolate truffle one and tried a bit of the chocolate covered strawberry-ish one and both were absolute heaven in my mouth.  Kinda pricey but so so good, and made for a good birthday "breakfast" before lunch.  Mmm, I will be dreaming of you Qachbal (even though I don't know how to pronounce you).

    This place was a little slice of heaven on earth!  The White Chocolate Strawberry Cheesecake was so absolutely incredible that it almost brought tears to my eyes!  I can safely say it was the most delicious cheesecake I've ever eaten....just melts in your mouth!  The handmade chocolates and truffles were fantastic too, but omg...I'd go back to Tampa just for the cheesecake!
