      I didn't know this place existed nearby the mall. I'm glad they're moving to a better location (by Trader Joe's) because they'd surely get the business if more people knew about them.
      I was fortunate to buy some chocolates and snag cake for a birthday before their upcoming move. I bought a chocolate-chocolate cake and also tried their raspberry chocolate cake. The cakes are pricey. Yet, delicious and the quality is worth paying extra. Great customer service too!

      Norman Love Confections of Sarasota is just an amazing confectionery. They offer a large assortment of specialty chocolate bon bons and truffles. Thy have some specialty sandwiches, cakes and macarons. The store is located in the UTC mall area and parking close is difficult so you may have to walk but these is lots of parking areas. Try the Peanut Butter and Jelly truffle.

      High end chocolatier at UTC. Very helpful staff and beautiful chocolates. Perfect for that extra special gift you need to give someone or for someone who's bougie and difficult to buy for.

      I was surprised to find that they also served coffee, tea and pastries inside.

      They also have ornate cakes. Beautiful for a special occasion.

      This place is by far the best dessert place I have ever been to. Better than anything we've had in LA or NY. i highly recommend this business because their stuff is just to die for.

      We used to live in the area and would go so very often. We ended up moving from the area a few weeks ago and decided to go one last time to Normans. Unfortunately, our last experience did not meet our standards with one of the desserts being inedible and the other dessert was given to us incorrectly. I recommend every dessert except for the bread pudding. It truly was disgusting.

      I would still make the drive to come to this place and recommend it to all my friends and family because their stuff is so fresh and delicious. You have to give this place a try. The caramel tower is to die for!

      Best looking cakes in town. Everything in this shop screams luxe modern.

      We've brought home cakes for special occasions or at times, just lounged outside enjoying a double scoop gelato.

      If you're feeling super fancy and have not maxed out your credit cards this is the spot to impress friends or a date.

      Love love love Norman Love confections. We have been getting their chocolate for years every time we would visit Naples, FL.

      Now, they are open in Sarasota and were finally able to stop in.

      They have desserts, small chocolate pieces, arrays of chocolate bars, chocolate covered fruits and other chocolate novelties.

      They serve espresso drinks with chocolate and hot chocolate which is with dark or milk chocolate and teas.

      Our fave fave fave is passion Panna cotta chocolate. It's really all we need because it's just that perfect piece of chocolate.

      The dark hot chocolate was perfect for a rainy day. The small is quite small, but it's just so tasty.

      The employees working are super nice too!!

      Definitely we will go back for our favorite. Check out the pics bc there are so many great options here!

      The crabby manager is gone - YAY!!!! The new manager and his assistant are awesome. The chocolates are amazing and the blueberry muffin is pretty darn good. I'd get one again.

      Norman Love Confections is Delectable, Delightful and just down right Charming in a Modern Florida kind of way!
      My Fiancé and I visited this Gem a little over a week ago for the First time Together. He had stopped in a few times over the past Month or so and Loved it! The young ladies behind the counter were so Lovely and had Big Smiles on there Faces the whole time we were there. Once we ordered we asked if we could sit outside and when our coffee and cakes were ready they braved the powerful downpour to bring us or Order. Luckily they have a covered Patio and it was so nice for the two of us to sit out there and talk. Our Desserts and Coffee were Perfect! We both So Look Forward to our Next Visit!

      Our Coffee!
