Great staff, really good vibes. This place is always full of people relaxing and chatting, which I love. It has a glow. Their all-butter brownies are also amazing. However, and I truly hate to say it... I have been here 3 times and haven't been blown away by the hot chocolate. It's good hot chocolate, but I don'r really taste any of the flavors promised in the descriptions. Regardless, I still come when I'm in the area and I appreciate that they accommodate different types of milk (even drinks that state "whole milk only" on the menu, or something of that nature).
First time here to start with the basics, I ordered a hot mocha and egg all butter brownie. The mocha was excellent and perfectly balanced with a rich chocolate base, but not overly sweet The brownie was decadent, and I could not taste the coarseness of the flour. It almost felt like a mouse in brownie form but a lot more viscous. They have a no laptop policy on the weekends. A massive selection of bar chocolates to choose from I did not see any savory options, but that’s OK Will come back here again to try some of their drinking chocolate
Excellent Chocolate shop for real chocolate lovers. Come for the delicious chocolate and stay for the great vibe and super friendly staff.
I wish I knew about this before all my troubles began. Chocolate is my bag, baby. So as soon as I learned of this place, I entered the dragon. Customer service was friendly, while giving me space. They offered help, and I’m glad I accepted because she pointed out options that I hadn’t noticed, but better served my purposes. Options abound for chocolate products and house-made beverages. Hot chocolate is the best in the world. All my troubles are melting away. Bathroom is clean. Street parking. If you choose to give a thumbs-up 👍🏽 or not, I hope you found my review helpful!
Not only a great chocolate shop but a great coffee shop as well. This little boutique on College Ave had been flying beneath my radar until I stumbled in the other day. The place has the fare one expects at a good coffee shop, a selection of coffee brews and espresso drinks along with pastries and other goodies. However their mocha is quite the delight, with a real dark chocolate taste to it - something that I love. On top of the normal coffee drink menu, there are a number of more exotic chocolate drinks, a tasty thicker chocolate espresso drink or even thicker European style hot chocolate. For chocolate lovers these are a must. The ambience is rather eclectic with fun decorations and even little dragon figurine sets, it definitely gives the feel of fun place to visit. There is a huge variety of chocolates to choose from, some just shelves with a collection of chocolate bars from different providers, but also their own selection of chocolate as well. The owner is a fascinating woman, and very interesting to talk to with a lot of background in the local chocolate industry. The service of course was very good and the verse that was very friendly.
