    Wall of chocolate
    Antwan S.

    The mint chocolate was extremely good it has a niche gnocchi in it . The service was good and inviting with samples available. The vibe was very calm and laid back with people just sipping coffee and relaxing.

    This place totally stole my heart! I wasn't expecting what I found inside, and it wowed me! They have chocolates in just about every flavor you can imagine, and for the first time ever, we even found a 100% cacao bar They have truffles, desserts, drinks, chocolates (of course) the packaging is SO elevated, the service is excellent, and it's the perfect spot to pick up Christmas or birthday gifts. They even have a spot for you to sit and drink you hot coffee while you're trying your delicious treasures.

    Dark chocolate hot cocoa

    Love this chocolate shop!! Opened in the old Fox Trot, there's plenty of room for seating. If you're looking for some chocolate candies to grab and go, a gift for a friend, or even something to sip on while shopping down Armitage.. this place is the spot for you. I've gotten the dark hot chocolate before and thought it was really yummy! Weirdly I thought it could have been richer or sweeter, but someone that doesn't like a super rich hot chocolate would love it! I need to try some of their pastries- they all come with a cup of dipping chocolate! The banana bread looked outstanding and the dipping chocolate comes out of a fountain- the real Wonkas Chocolate Factory in here :) Overall I highly suggest anyone in the area to come by and stop in, they've got something for everyone!

    Enjoyed this new addition to the Armitage shopping district. We went to check out all the different chocolate options this Black Friday and were pleasantly surprised by all the different options they have. They have been creative with their chocolates - everything from advent calendars to penguin cartoon molds and lots of gift packs for the holidays. We did indulge in their signature hot chocolate. I had the dark chocolate peppermint and it was delicious. Smooth and creamy but not too sweet. Great service as well. It was busy but all the staff were friendly and helpful.

    Hot chocolate with shot of expresso

    Love their chocolate and their service. Stopped in while visiting Chicago as we heard they have one of the best quality chocolates around. They had a wide assortment of chocolates for any taste preference as well as several packages to choose from for personal consumption as well as for gifts. The prices were very reasonable, and during the holidays they had specials on their holiday packaged products. They also had a hot chocolate and pastry bar. We ordered the hot chocolate with a shot of expresso. It was excellent, not too sweet but you can definitely taste the richness of the chocolate. There is also a nice seating area to relax a bit while you drink your hot chocolate. Service was also very friendly, from the staff giving out samples to the barista at the hot chocolate bar, everyone was super nice. Would highly recommend a visit while you're in the city.

    I've been here three times thinking maybe I just got the wrong thing. The pumpkin spice hot chocolate was bland. The white chocolate matcha tasted like regular matcha and the hot chocolate mint was the best but I've had better. The pastry was ok but kind of hard. Would have been better if they could toast it. They also had samples of the chocolates and it was not good. Very mid experience. Foxtrot has a better white chocolate matcha with mint.

    Salted carmel and 50% milky hot chocolate with choco whipped cream
    Klaudia W.

    saw someone walk out of here with a hot chocolate so we stopped in for one and it was so much more than that! The whipping cream was thick, creamy, and flavorful but not too sweet. I got the 50% milky hot chocolate which was not too sweet but not too bitter. perfect if you want something warm but not too sweet. My boyfriend got the salt he'd caramel hot chocolate which was also very good. It was sweeter but not overbearingly sweet. the store was super cute and offered an amazing variety of chocolates and samples of you were unsure what you wanted. I wish i took more photos inside. The service was quick and everyone was very kind and helpful! i like that they asked about dairy preferences and allergies

    Champagne Truffles

    Have such a sweet tooth. Love chocolate and may be slightly obsessed. Such a pretty cafe; warm and inviting with rich chocolate aromas filling the air. The Chocolat Baristas will give you the sweetest experience ever making each moment of your visit extra special. I chose the banana bread; a rich, moist circle of deliciousness. Each pastry item comes with a side of pouring chocolate. You have a choice of milk or dark. I chose milk and boy did it elevate my treat. For my drinks I chose the frozen hot chocolate; made with their famous ice cream and I added chocolate whip. I absolutely loved each sip. I also opted for a hot drink; coconut, white chocolate hot. I did not enjoy this one. The Chocolate Wall is another experience all on its own, so many choices. I decided on the strawberry champagne truffles and three chocolate treats; dizzy praline, fruit mix and millionaire shortbread. I have recently tasted each and YES, I approve. During your dine-in experience the Chocolat Baristas walk around with samples of their premium, hand crafted chocolates for you to sample. Oh yes! Going back very soon.

    Listen the samples help cause we were literally about to walk out the door when they gave us two samples of their ice cream followed by milk chocolate caramel mini bars - so we stayed. 15 minutes later we got chocolate orange marmalade, amaretto, fruit & nut dark 80% chocolate. In addition we also got blood orange hot chocolate top with chocolate whip cream. The moto here is more cacao less sugar. They use a pod and a half of cacao which is 84 beans in their bar of chocolate vs the national brand named after a town in Pennsylvania that uses 3. Best of all the crew is really cool !

    Such a cute little place to grab a hot chocolate for the winter. Went while it was snowing and the atmosphere was adorable. Nice service and menu selections with hot or frozen chocolate. Liked the honestly of the server about the whipped cream being better on frozen vs hot chocolate. Awesome place to grab chocolate gifts for that someone in your life who has a sweet tooth.

    There is a kiosk with a preference taste test that recommends chocolates based on your preferences. My favorite chocolate so far is the strawberry cheesecake. You can get three six-piece chocolates for $20, which I thought was a good deal. The coffee shop has hot chocolate, drinking chocolate, coffee, tea, and ice cream. We got the white chocolate matcha (which was my favorite), salted caramel hot chocolate, and the white vanilla hot chocolate. Our barista and cashier were very friendly. They have some table, booth, and couch seating, which was very comfortable.

    I was lucky enough to have stayed at Hotel Chocolat in St. Lucia where they get their beans and it was there that I was introduced to the whole concept of the "velvetizer". But, I digress. The chocolate here is whole different level. The drinks are delicious. I feel like the skim milk makes them not as sweet. The croissant was good as well. I can't say the service is fast but I'm assuming it takes a while to make the hot chocolate. There are usually a lot of workers but I don't think its very efficient. Also, service is not that friendly. I think there is room for improvement when it comes to service and ambiance as I didn't feel like there was much of one.

    The staff here is efficient, courteous, and professional. It's a cute place for chocolate addicts to get their fix, but keep their motto in mind: "More cacao, less sugar." The taste, nevertheless, is exceptional. They have a Wall of Chocolate that's Worth spending time at. Unless you're looking to get a box, your best bet is to pick your favorites from the Wall of Chocolate.

I like to go earlier in the morning when it's quiet and I can write in my journal and plan out my weekend. By 10am, young parents with kids tricks in for parent meetups. There is the occasional book club that gathers at the community stainless steel table. I suggest wearing headphones if you plan on staying for a few hours to focus.

My fav so far is the macaroon and sour cherry. Did not like the strawberry cheesecake as a candy though. I hear, they had 5 stores in New York which shut dpwn sometime during covid, and these two stores in Chicago opened about a year ago. They are really soft. Keeping them out at room temperature kind of melted them so I put them in the fridge. texas heat is too much for their sensitive fruity nature ;) There's a little card which tells exactly which chocolate is what flavor . Packing is really cool. Goes great as a gift.

Everything is covered in soft velour and velvet and it's just beautiful! There's a great mural on the wall with different cute sayings painted on the leaves. I'll be sharing pictures of those so make sure you take a look! It's a little pricey for your average person but the quality of the chocolate which is from France and Germany makes it worth it! Their coffees come with a lot of options, some with very unique flavor combinations. I tried the rosemary caramel iced latte and I loved it! Which I was surprised by because I'm not usually a rosemary fan. They have a great variety of homemade marshmallows which I will also show you in the pictures, I can't resist a good marshmallow! So I had to try the brown butter marshmallows to bring home with me and oh my goodness! But the real winner for me was Homemade caramels! I would go back just for those! Especially the bacon one ! If you go there and try absolutely nothing else , get yourself a couple of those. you can thank me later ! The staff is super friendly and helpful! I also love that you can see back into the Candy Kitchen! So you know that all the Truffles and caramels and everything is prepared in-house and are super fresh and extra delicious! If you're ever near one of their many locations I encourage you to stop in! The coffee price point is actually very affordable, the truffle and marshmallow prices are truthfully probably comparable with like Godiva or Fannie May but they are made with much higher quality ingredients. Not someplace I would visit everyday, but definitely great for a special occasion! This would be a great business to visit for some sweet holiday treats! They have multiple shops!

I had a lovely strawberry Belgian waffle and a Marocchino Caldo. Good to the last drop. I noticed many people ordering crepes and croissants. There's just so much here.
