Crafting Sweet Memories Since 1983
At Peterbrooke® Chocolatier, we’re more than just chocolate—we’re a neighborhood tradition. Since 1983, we’ve delighted communities by fusing European chocolate-making artistry with American warmth and creativity. From handcrafted treats to unforgettable in-store experiences, every bite tells a story of passion, quality, and connection.
From Jacksonville to Across the Nation
What started as one cozy shop in Jacksonville, Florida has grown into a celebrated brand with nearly 50 locations nationwide. When our founder, Phyllis Lockwood, combined the elegance of European chocolate with the charm of a neighborhood gathering place, Peterbrooke® was born. Our open-kitchen design, inviting atmosphere, and signature theater-style dipping continue to turn everyday moments into sweet traditions across the country.
Rooted in Community
At Peterbrooke, we believe chocolate has the power to bring people together. That’s why every one of our neighborhood shops is more than just a place to pick up sweet treats—it’s a hub for local connection. We proudly partner with area schools, host community events, support local fundraisers, and collaborate with nonprofits to make a meaningful impact. Whether it’s gifting chocolate-dipped pretzels for a school event or joining forces for a local cause, our mission is to create joy through chocolate and connection in every community we serve.
What We Make
From hand-dipped strawberries and truffles to chocolate-covered popcorn and signature gift baskets, everything at Peterbrooke is crafted in-house using the finest ingredients.
