Upon our arrival, I liked the cute setup that they had to offer from the different areas within the shop and the pieces of chocolate history all throughout. So I didn't realize that, coming here, all that was served was versions of dark chocolate hot chocolate, so I was a little bummed, as I love milk chocolate but was still hoping for a sweeter taste, as I chose the lowest percentage of dark chocolate. During our time, we talked a bit to the owner, who was very sweet, and had a chance to learn more about the process and some of the products offered, which is nice to have an insight into their world. Of course, I recognize that this is a small business, and it seemed to be just the owner there, but 3 hot chocolates totaling more than $30 were really a lot more than I would've liked to pay, so I hoped it would be worth it. When we received it after a good minute, though it was just the owner working, so understandable, the hot chocolate was fine, on the smaller side, but thankfully, I ordered it with whipped cream, as it made it a little sweeter.

I was in the area and wanted something light for breakfast and remembered that I've been wanting to come here. Parking was pretty easy to find on the street since it was early in the day. The line was almost out the door when I got there, but relatively short from what I've heard. Plus it moved pretty quickly. The people here were friendly and the space had an artsy vibe to it. Of course, I had to get the chocolate croissant and I also ordered a coffee to go with it. It was buttery, flaky, and had a good amount of chocolate. Definitely a gem of a place located in Pasadena. Would love to come back and try some more of their goods.

This place is known for their artisanal chocolates as well as their chocolate and even regular croissants. I thought I was a croissant person, but today I found out that I am not a dessert croissant person. I ironically find the chocolate bars decent and was underwhelmed by the chocolate croissant. I am also realizing that I may not be a huge chocolate person recently. I don't like to waste food so I found myself just trying to stuff it into my mouth to get it over with. I will come back again for a regular croissant. My friends and family all rave about the croissants from this place having one of the best croissants in town. I wish I could tell you that I lived that experience to tell the tale. I got an iced honey latte with oat milk that was delicious though. Service was okay. They were nice enough. I didn't have much interaction besides the transaction, so I cannot speak too much on this? The place looks ideal for people to sit and do some work or study. Some customers kind of block the only pathways around though to no fault of the franchise. It's just young people not really having spatial awareness when out in public. In summary, I had just an okay experience. Gave this place 4 stars for the iced honey latte with oat milk.

Over the years I have commented, posted, opinionated, etc. Never, have I EVER tasted chocolate, with this combo, to taste this way. I've had SwissChoco, Italian, Mexican; this, MILLA, is the, "shuzzz." ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS!! I fell upon MILLA - was driving the street, not freeway. Passed this blk bldg, took a snapshot, hoping it was legible. It was. Returned to CC, parking was a challenge, entered store, made purchases but did not open my boxes for two weeks!

I ordered a black sesame chocolate drink with two bonbons: pistachio and yuzu caramel. My kid devoured the pistachio in one bite, but the yuzu caramel was absolutely divine -- rich dark chocolate balanced perfectly with fragrant, real yuzu flavor. The drink was definitely too sweet for my taste though. Needed to take home and add milk into it and actually turned it into two drinks. They also have gorgeous gift boxes, customizable assortments, and prepackaged goodies -- perfect for gifting or indulging yourself. Service was amazing. The barista was super friendly. My paper bag with my take away lunch ripped in their store and she offered a beautiful bag without me even asking. She was patient in explaining their menu and helped me picked out Chocolates that my kids would love. Warm, welcoming, and refined -- this spot is a must-visit for anyone with a sweet tooth in Culver City.

I ended up buying these 8 little squares for almost $18! There was a milk choco, pistachio almond orange, blackberry raspberry, blackberry, almond pastry, chocolate with almonds, salted caramel swirl, and their signature hazelnut chocolates. All of them were nicely tempered, shiny, snappy, a bit on the sweet end but yall know I love me my sweets. And I like how the nuts in the nut ones are like candied to make them extra crunchy.

She took me here. The place was very clean and tidy with a lot of different types of sweet treats. I was there for one thing only. I did ask the gal working if they were made that day and she said yes. We ordered a raspberry, an orange, a coffee bean and the popular mango. This was my 2nd time trying these and our hopes were high BUT the raspberry was just awful the filling was strange and it had just raspberry jam inside,I dint eat it. The mango was okay so we shared that. The coffee bean was just awful as well so we didn't finish that either. The orange was the best of the group but overall just a disappointing experience once again because these are not cheap. I'm starting to think I might just have to give up my journey to find these although there are some places in Vegas that look promising. I don't think Reno has any bakeries that make these. They look so beautiful but the taste is a let down.
