Chocolate Covered Creations is a hidden gem for sure! The first thing that stood out was the decor, I loved all the pink and the nostalgic anime and cartoon characters everywhere. Even the bathroom was cute, with murals covering the walls. I ordered a caramel latte, my daughter got an Oreo frappe special, and my boyfriend accidentally ordered an Oreo latte thinking it was frozen. When he realized, the workers were super sweet and completely understanding. They remade it into the drink he wanted for only about $2 more, which I thought was beyond fair. While we waited, we checked out the adorable picture wall and took some selfies and all the little trinkets. I especially loved the tiny kitchen scene with baby Jesus and the cute strawberry house. They also sell personalized items, including some of the dopest air fresheners I've ever seen--definitely one-of-a-kind and perfect for gifts because you could easily find one to match somebody's personality. The character tumbler cups were really cute too, fairly priced, and even came with a straw cleaner. I'll definitely go out of my way to come back to Granite City and visit this coffee shop again! read more
