Plenty of chocolate for sale here as well as gelato options.

I wanted some ice cream or gelato after dinner but before seeing a movie, and friend said this spot…read morealways had a line. I had actually been to a couple of Venchi locations in airports for chocolate, but hadn't realize they served gelato and had never had theirs. It was a very strange experience, though. We walk up to the ice cream counter to look at the flavors and they say we have to stand behind the register. We inquire as to whether we can taste flavors and they say yes, but only after you've purchased your ice cream. The issue with that is how do I know if I want one or two flavors until after I've tasted the gelato? I assume kids were coming in and tasting a bunch without buying anything, but then ask for a deposit or something. It doesn't make any sense to not be able to look at or taste the flavors before you have to order. I only tasted two flavors because they were making me so uncomfortable, and selected the second one I tasted--a dark chocolate flavor that wasn't honestly pretty darn excellent. So 5 stars for the actual taste (and their chocolates) and minus a star for the service.

Their smoked salmon sandwich is perfection -- fresh, balanced, and full of flavor. The ambiance (hello, soft jazz and warm colors!) makes you feel instantly relaxed.

Lily's Chocolate & Coffee is family owned with 2 locations, known for their delicious lokmas, high…read morequality desserts, and Instagram aesthetic. This cafe is located in Vienna, and there's plenty of free slanted parking in front as well as parking in the complex next to and across if you're willing to walk. I've been to this location when it first opened years ago and they've really upped their menu and decorations inside since. The ambiance inside is beautiful, ideal for anyone looking for a good Instagram picture. There's so many angles and details so that no matter where you're sitting, there's a good vibe. There's also gorgeous seating outside since it can get crowded. For food, you order from the front and they'll call you when the food is ready. We ordered the dubai gelato and pistachio lokmas. Both were presented tastefully to make sure our eyes and cameras wanted to eat before our stomachs. The dubai gelato was a quality dessert with a good ratio of milk: cream. The pistachio flavor was evident on top, but it was just a kinda tart vanilla ice cream with toppings. I did like it, however, and it paired well with the lokmas. The lokmas were fried to perfection, a nice amount of chewy, and covered with a good ratio of pistachio cream. They were a decent size and conducive to sharing. The prices of everything, overall, was pretty expensive, but the quality definitely made up for it. I'd recommend this cafe to someone looking for a unique sweet treat, catching up with a group of girl friends of 2-4 people, or for a first date!

They do a lot of corporate and online sales, but still have a beautiful walk in store. Chocolates and other delights that are as beautiful to look at as they are to eat.

The owners are a joy to work with and I look forward to buying some corporate gifts, and perhaps a few more things for myself Please stop in and visit these amazing folks or visit their website, Thank me later.

Amazing Chocolatier in our Backyard!…read more With parents from Europe I've always been a chocolate snob, so imagine my delight at learning about Craving for Chocolate right off Gallows Rd in Tysons. I was selecting a gift for a friend in the restaurant industry, also a chocolate snob, and Dalia, one of the owners, was so helpful! She offered me some samples and we created the perfect assortment for my friend. I cannot recommend them highly enough. They have lovely, elaborate, gift boxes but I just used the bag she gave me to take them home in ( plus some ribbon she gave me) and et voile! Run, don't walk, the next time you're "craving" something special!

Their chocolates are made with classic flavors and components (like pistachio, Nutella, or feuilletine) but are some of the highest quality I've ever had- including in Switzerland! Some of my favorites are the cotton candy (filled with real cotton candy!), creme brulee, and chocolate pistachio feuilletine. I wish I had found these in time for my wedding because these would have made such a special favor- I can see them also being great for bridal showers or special birthdays. As someone with a huge sweet tooth, these are really something special. The owner could not be nicer, either. This is the kind of business you feel good about supporting and you get something truly delicious in return.

In the world of gourmet chocolates, Artisan Confections separates itself from the competition by their visual appeal. The sea of browns and minuscule sprinkles and linear frostings creates ambiguity and indecisiveness within a box of ordinary chocolates, whereas when one opens a box of Artisan Confections, each handcrafted piece has a unique trademark artistic design and array of vivid color that will leave a lasting multi-sensory impression and the only ambiguity will be whether taste supersedes visuals.
