Local Delivery Options at The Sweet Tooth

You just realized your mother-in-law's birthday is today. Your assistant forgot to order the client gift that needs to arrive before their 4 PM meeting. Your best friend had a baby this morning and you want something at her door by tonight.

These moments happen. And when they do, you need a chocolate delivery that's actually same-day—not "ships today, arrives whenever." We've been handling these last-minute requests at our North Miami Beach factory since 1979.

How Same-Day Delivery Works

Place your order at thesweettooth.com before 2 PM EST and we'll have it delivered by end of business the same day. That's the rule—2 PM cutoff, same-day delivery anywhere in our service area.

Orders placed after 2 PM go out the next business day, or you can schedule for a specific future date if you're planning ahead. We deliver Sunday through Friday and are closed Saturday for Shabbat.

Why Fresh Chocolate Matters

Most gift basket companies ship from warehouses in other states. That chocolate was made weeks or months ago, sat in storage, got loaded on a truck, sat in another facility, then finally reached your recipient.

We make everything on-site in our factory. The chocolates in your basket are fresh—made here, packed here, delivered by local drivers who know the area. Chocolate tastes different when it hasn't been sitting in a distribution center for three months.

This is why local matters. Not because of some abstract "support small business" idea, but because the product is genuinely better when it travels 20 miles instead of 2,000.

Other Same-Day Options

Not every occasion calls for a full basket:

Chocolate-Covered Strawberries ($29.99) — Dipped fresh the morning of delivery. Available in milk, dark, or white chocolate.

"Say It with Chocolate" Gift Box ($59) — A chocolate plaque with your message, plus truffles and chocolate-covered Oreos.

Kosher Certification

Everything we make is certified kosher under the supervision of Kosher Miami. This matters if you're sending to an observant household, a shiva home, or any occasion where dietary laws apply.

We also offer PARVE (dairy-free) options. Note your requirements at checkout.

Shiva and Sympathy Deliveries

A significant portion of our same-day deliveries go to shiva homes. When someone passes away in the Jewish community, families often receive visitors for a limited time—sometimes just three days. A gift that arrives after shiva ends misses the point entirely.

Same-day delivery means your condolence gift arrives when it can actually provide comfort. We understand the timing sensitivity and handle these deliveries appropriately.

Hotels and Hospitals

We deliver to hotels throughout Miami Beach, Fort Lauderdale, and the region. Include any special instructions at checkout and we'll coordinate with the concierge desk.

Hospital deliveries are also available. Some facilities have restrictions on what can go directly to patient rooms—we work with gift shops and front desks as needed.

Corporate Orders

We handle corporate gifting from a handful of client baskets to large employee appreciation orders. Same-day delivery is available for orders placed before 2 PM. For very large orders, advance notice helps ensure quality and timing.

Nationwide Shipping

For recipients outside South Florida, we ship nationwide with temperature-controlled packaging. Same-day delivery is only available within our local delivery area—shipped orders require transit time based on destination and shipping method.
