There are many factors that make a coffee shop special. For starters and I'm sure you'll agree the…read morecoffee has to be amazing. Not just okay, but the kind of coffee that gives you the boost you need to get through the day. And if you plan to stay, the space matters just as much. It should feel welcoming and comfortable, with enough room to work, meet, catch up, or simply slow down for a while. What makes the story of Chocolattés even more meaningful is where it began. In 2003, Chocolattés opened inside HealthPark Medical Center, a place where most people probably don't wish to spend their day. Yet, one cup of coffee at a time, they found a way to uplift visitors, staff, and families during some of life's more difficult moments. Over the next 12 years, Chocolattés expanded to all four major hospitals, bringing that same experience to even more people. Today, with two locations in Southwest Florida, that story has evolved into something you can enjoy outside the hospital walls. And the coffee? This is craft coffee in every sense of the word. Their beans are roasted in-house, and there is almost a science behind how they create each cup. You can tell there is intention behind what they serve. The prices are definitely on the higher end, but I think Chocolattés is one of those places where you can justify it whether you're treating yourself to a really good cup of coffee or need something a little extra to get you through a long day at work. Our go-to orders?

We went in and the place is cute and cozy and more importantly it appeared very clean; and the girl behind the counter and the older lady helping were both so friendly and helpful with my selections. My only gripe was (sadly) I didn't really love the coffee but I would probably return to give them another shot just because I liked the staff, liked the cleanliness and liked the vibe.

They had a very cute outdoor patio as well as quite a few tables and chairs inside. There were many people reading a book, working, or catching up with friends while enjoying their items. I love that they use their own coffee beans. I ended up ordering The Honeycomb Latte which was seasonal and recommended by our barista. It was light and so good! The vanilla cold foam was the perfect topping and I thought the Cherrio garnish was cute. My husband got the Masala Chai Tea Latte which was made from a concentrate but still had really nice flavor. This coffee shop definitely hit the spot for a midday boost and I'd certainly come back to enjoy more!

I ordered an iced vanilla latte ($3.95) served in what most places would consider a small cup. Mostly filled with ice. Coffee not even to the top. It was very good but for the price please less ice and more coffee. Took home a cannoli to share with my son. We, although of Irish heritage, come from an area where a Cannoli better be good. This one ... eh. It wasn't Mulberry Street, North End of Boston or Wooster Street excellence but it was ok. The shell was crispy but the filling was lacking. I didn't want to try anything else as the display just didn't entice me. They serve beer and wine. I noticed some type of sandwich in the lower left of the case. This place also has events on different nights of the week. One was a "Sip and Scribble". Check out their web page. Great seating areas. Cafe tables in center area. Well decorated. Friendly customer service. Overall the coffee is excellent but bakery?

The staff was warm and welcoming. She quickly prepared the order and gave some information on the store. I sensed this is an excellent place to relax and hang out with friends. Love the idea that they support local artists and vendors! Those ice creams, and mini pastries in the refrigerator look so appealing, you must come back to try them!

There was only one guy here, looks like he does everything but it's a mom and pop shop so he would have to be a jack of all trades.
