I used to be a diligent frequenter of Tobi Tobin in Malibu for their chocolate. I never knew it was simply John Kelly marked up!! My goodness. That was a shock and relief all at once. I was so grateful to find my beloved chocolate AGAIN after TT closed but was shocked I was buying from a secondary distributor who did not disclose. Mind blown. Regardless, so grateful for this super decadent chocolatier on Montana. I love it so much I stopped in on a work trip when back in LA to gather my faves and my husband collected me some upon his recent trip back. I had a delightful chocolate bunny for Easter. Goodness it's just the best. I love the chocolate walnut and the marzipan I tried recently was a new introduction and a delight. Their chocolate embodies the joy of life. Each bit is pure pleasure! Have sent it as a gift and plan to get more as a gift on a future trip. Their chocolate does not disappoint. I adore!

A rainy Sunday and hot cocoa? Yes and yes again…read more Found this little gem on a rainy Sunday when looking to get hot cocoa somewhere.. Greeted with warmth when entering. When ordering, you know you're at the right place when they explain their process with pride. They don't just mix a processed chocolate powder. j'adore ! And the Chocolates?! Rich and delicious ganaches, pralines, and other handcrafted sweet treats. They said new seasonal flavors will be arriving in two weeks? Will be back! TLDR: Quaint little chocolatier/cafe, so very European vibes, like the kind you stumble upon when you're actually lost in a small European town. We love it. Warm and friendly people. One of the most decadent, rich and satisfying hot cocoas and artisan Belgian chocolates in town.

EUROPEAN HOT CHOCOLATE HEAVEN…read more When you go to Europe you discover hot chocolate (or "drinking chocolate") as it's meant to be--dark, rich and thick. Yet I'd basically given up on having good hot chocolate in the LA -- until I went to Lady Chocolatt today. The charming, old-fashioned shop has a wide selection of Belgian chocolates of all kinds. Then, in the back, you can order hot chocolate: their classic (a mix of 50-70%), their extra dark (70%) and other varieties I didn't notice because I was too focused on the "Extra dark" 70%! Next, it's run by the owners who clearly love making chocolate and bringing it to us chocolate-deprived Angelinos! It's rare to get this kind of personal touch at any shop these days, but in the case of chocolate it makes you feel like a guest at a the home of expert chocolatiers! They have patio seating in front--and also a more covered patio along the side that's a sweet place to sit, sip and chat. A European cafe like experience right here in LA. The hot chocolate is very rich, so even the "small" size (an extremely generous 12oz) is probably more than you'll drink in a sitting, in which case they offer to put it in a to go cup so you can take it home. Once refrigerated it becomes as thick as chocolate pudding. IF YOU LOVE CHOCOLATE, COME TO LADY CHOCOLATT!!!

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've tried venturing out to try their other stuff, and it's all delicious, but I keep coming back for the mango and pistachio. I like how each pastry you purchase you also get a free macaron.

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.

Meanwhile the house made cinnamon latte was a complete waste of $7.50. I got whole milk, no additions or changes.

I wish I had tasted it in the store before I left because I would have been looking up their drink re-make policy.

Their non-coffee drinks came out first and looked quite refreshing, so I partly regretted ordering my iced coffee that took a bit more time to be crafted by the staff. I didn't quite taste as much mint as I was expecting, so after finishing my drink and writing this review, I almost forgot that I had ordered a mint iced coffee.

It's a small quaint shop in Beverly Hills. Stopped by on Memorial Day. We were immediately greeted by the woman working there. She was quite friendly and helpful. She told us they used to do tours of the conveyor belt prior to Covid. I do wish I could have seen it. We got an assortment of chocolates, which are sold by the pound. It is a little pricey, I won't lie. However, the quality of the chocolate was great. They have a large variety of chocolates that they make and they were all super tasty. It was a nice little treat. Highly recommend to satisfy your sweet tooth.

Premium handmade truffles and confections…read more Their history is as rich as their chocolates. For over 80 years, they have catered to many Hollywood stars and corporate clientele. Lucille Ball was a regular, and would allegedly enter through the backdoor to avoid the paparazzi. The chocolate conveyor belt in the kitchen inspired the famous "Job Switching" episode of I Love Lucy. You can buy chocolate covered marshmallows, caramels, toffees, fruits, nuts, pretzels, and more. They also have a small selection of candies, licorices, jelly beans, and organic gummy bears. Sugar free and vegan options available. Some of the equipment used when the shop opened in 1942 is still in use today. I loved every truffle I got (Amaretto, dark chocolate ganache, hazelnut praline, salted caramel, milk chocolate, chocolate cream). Don't ask me which one was my favorite, because I can't choose one!

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.
