The Sweet Tooth FAQ

Complete Guide to Gourmet Chocolate Gifts

🍫

General Information & Our Story

What makes The Sweet Tooth different from other chocolate companies?
We've been handcrafting premium kosher chocolate gifts since 1979, making us Miami's most trusted gourmet chocolate destination for over 46 years. Every product is made fresh in our North Miami Beach facility under strict kosher supervision, and we specialize in custom orders that other companies can't match. As a cornerstone of the South Florida community, we've become the go-to destination for life's most important celebrations.
How long has The Sweet Tooth been serving South Florida families?
Since 1979, we've been a beloved fixture in North Miami Beach and throughout South Florida for over 46 years. Three generations of families have trusted us for their weddings, bar/bat mitzvahs, anniversaries, and sympathy deliveries. We've watched children grow up and return with their own families, creating a legacy of trust that spans decades. Our deep community roots mean we understand what South Florida families value: quality, tradition, and personal service.
Why should I trust The Sweet Tooth for my most important occasions?
Our track record speaks for itself: over 1,100 verified customer reviews and the incredibly rare Shopify 10,000 Orders Milestone Award — an achievement that recognizes exceptional entrepreneurial success and customer loyalty. This prestigious award is especially remarkable for a personalized, artisanal business like ours. As Shopify President Harley Finkelstein said, this milestone celebrates "the hard work and dedication behind successful businesses" and recognizes entrepreneurs who've achieved extraordinary customer satisfaction. After 46+ years and 10,000+ successful orders, we've proven our reliability for life's most meaningful moments.
How is The Sweet Tooth different from other online chocolate companies?
Unlike mass-produced online chocolates, we're a 46-year-old family business making everything fresh to order in our kosher-certified Miami facility. We specialize in customization that larger companies can't match, and every product is handcrafted rather than mass-produced. You get personal service, local pickup options, and the ability to customize everything to your exact needs. Our Shopify 10,000 Orders Milestone Award validates what our community already knows — when you choose us, you're choosing proven excellence.
Why choose local Miami chocolate over national brands?
Our chocolates are made fresh when you order, not sitting in warehouses for months. Plus, you get personal service, local pickup options, and the ability to customize everything to your exact needs. We're also available for same-day delivery in South Florida and offer in-person consultations. As a North Miami Beach institution for 46+ years, we understand our community's preferences and have built lasting relationships with customers who return generation after generation.
What does the Shopify 10,000 Orders Milestone Award mean?
This is an exceptionally rare achievement that Shopify created to recognize the most successful entrepreneurs who've demonstrated extraordinary customer loyalty and business excellence. According to Shopify leadership, this award celebrates businesses that have achieved something truly special — 10,000+ successful orders representing decades of satisfied customers. What makes this even more remarkable is that we're a highly personalized, artisanal business where every order is custom-crafted, not a mass-production operation. This milestone validates our 46+ years of dedication to quality and customer satisfaction in the South Florida community.
What's the best chocolate shop in Miami?
The Sweet Tooth has been Miami's premier gourmet chocolate destination since 1979. We're the only kosher-certified chocolate shop in the area offering both traditional favorites and innovative creations like our famous Dubai Chocolate bars.
Are all Sweet Tooth products kosher certified?
Yes, absolutely. We operate under strict rabbinical supervision and all our chocolates, candy apples, and gift baskets are certified kosher from Kosher Miami. This has been a cornerstone of our business since day one.
What does "parve" mean and why is it important?
Parve means the product contains no meat or dairy ingredients, making it suitable for kosher households to enjoy after any meal. Many of our Dubai Chocolate bars and select dipped treats are available in parve versions.
What's the difference between kosher and parve chocolate?
Kosher chocolate is made under rabbinical supervision following Jewish dietary laws. Parve is a subset of kosher that contains no dairy or meat, making it suitable to eat after either meat or dairy meals. All parve products are kosher, but not all kosher products are parve.
Do you have vegan chocolate options?
Yes, our vegan selections are completely plant-based — dairy-free, egg-free, and made with bone-char-free sugar. Contact us for our current vegan product list as it varies seasonally.
Which products are gluten-free?
Yes! Our gluten-free options include:
• Candy apples (naturally gluten-free)
• Select truffles (varies by flavor)
Zero Series Dubai Chocolate (gluten-free and parve)
Pecan Pralines are gluten free and we have vegan and parve options by special request

Email us for our current complete gluten-free list since offerings rotate seasonally.
How do you prevent cross-contamination between dairy and parve products?
We use completely separate prep areas, equipment, and utensils for dairy and parve production. Everything is supervised by our mashgiach (kosher supervisor) to ensure strict compliance.
Where is The Sweet Tooth located and can I visit?
We're located at 18435 NE 19th Ave in North Miami Beach, Florida. You can visit our store for pickup orders or browse our selection in person. We occasionally offer factory tours during special events.
Can I visit your chocolate factory in North Miami Beach?
Yes! While we don't offer regular public tours, you can visit our store and sometimes arrange behind-the-scenes visits during special events. Contact us directly to inquire about tour availability.
Is The Sweet Tooth still family-owned?
Yes! After 45+ years, we're still a family-run business, and that personal touch shows in everything we create.
How long has The Sweet Tooth been Miami's trusted chocolate company?
Since 1979 — we've been sweetening Miami for over four decades, building lasting relationships with customers who trust us for their most important celebrations and gifts.
