BERRY ELEGANCE: THE PERFECT SWEET TOUCH FOR YOUR FOURTH OF JULY

Food Review by Don Rose

One of our favorite stores in all of Southern California is Berry Elegance, which offers chocolate dipped strawberries, cookies, pretzel, rice crispy treats and just about anything else you could think of. In order to have the sweetest July 4th, The LA Report recommends their choco-riffic products; they’re worth every calorie filled bite!

The BE offerings come in milk, dark, and white chocolate, and of course all three can be mixed. The Studio City store, which opened in 2006, recently underwent a makeover thanks to the new A&E show "WE MEAN BUSINESS." The founders of the company, Amy Stipa and Todd Jones, worked side by side with the original apprentice, Bill Rancic, as well as design expert Peter Gursky and technology expert Katie Linendoll. The product hasn't changed (it still is the creme de la creme -- pun intended), but now the store looks as good as their berries and other treats taste.

Berry Elegance shared the sweetness of their grand reopening with a celebration on July 1, 2008. Guests enjoyed free samples, discounts and other surprises. But you can enjoy the same delicious products anytime, anywhere, by placing an internet order on their website, http://www.berryelegance.com/.

Berry Elegance is the leading provider of chocolate covered strawberries and other chocolate dipped goodies serving the greater Los Angeles area and the rest of the country via their website BerryElegance.com. The BE brand has quickly become one of the most sought after gifts for some of the biggest names in Hollywood including Justin Timberlake, Megan Fox, Ryan Seacrest, Chelsea Handler, Steven Speilberg and many more.
