Bittersweet Confections

Bittersweet Confections was founded in 2002 by local chocolatier Cheryl Scripter. Cheryl, a Louisiana native, has always loved the art of chocolate confections. She started Bittersweet Confections with a mission to create an exceptional collection of chocolates using local ingredients and superior chocolate. After sharing kitchen space for many years with other chefs and working from local outdoor Farmer’s Markets, Cheryl eventually decided to branch out by opening her doors on Magazine Street in 2004.

Cheryl has grown her one person concept into a successful café and bakery with a team of 16 amazing chefs, baristas, and cake decorators. Bittersweet serves breakfast and lunch, locally roasted coffee and espresso, fresh baked croissants, muffins, scones, breads and French inspired seasonal desserts. Bittersweet will make you a birthday cake or a wedding cake. Other accolades include,” Best King Cake” by NOLA Defenders, four years in a row, for the chocolate King Cake. Watch the annual calendar, as Cheryl is one of the Chef’s presenting at the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival, where she educates, entertains and shares on the joys of chocolate.

Visit her boutiques in the historic New Orleans Warehouse District. Bittersweet Confections is passionate about food and chocolate, and loves sharing our creations with you. We hope you will find your Bittersweet Confections experience absolutely delightful.
