    Food: 5/5 Unfortunately we did not try the chocolate. However, the mango banana smoothie was so fresh and delicious! The salted ice caramel was very good. If you like your coffee on the sweeter side, make sure to ask for syrups or sugar. Service: 5/5 The baristas were friendly and attentive. Ambiance: 5/5 A cute chocolate/ coffee shop for a quick break exploring the city.

    Delicious hot chocolate, tea, and pastries! They have tons of seating inside and a hidden patio out back with seating.

    So, so good! I met up with a group of friends here on a Saturday, and they have more seating than I thought from looking at it from the street. It goes pretty far back. They also have a patio out back for when the weather is warmer with even more seating! I got the strawberry matcha, Parisian drinking chocolate, chocolate waffle, and apple cake. The strawberry matcha was really good. They didn't use cheap matcha, and it wasn't super sweet. You could really taste the matcha and the strawberry part, which my issue with matcha drinks is they usually are too sweet and don't taste like matcha, but not here! The chocolate waffle was fabulous and I got the smallest size of drinking chocolate which the only flavor is the Parisian drinking chocolate, but that was excellent as well. I have yet to try the apple cake since I got that to go, but I definitely plan on coming back here! It's such a nice place to meet up with friends to chat with all the yummy food and drink options. Their bathroom was also very nice and clean which is rare to find. My friends all enjoyed their food/drinks too, and they have Belgian chocolates for sale which one of my friends snagged. 10/10

    Always a great stop for a treat. Great chocolates and excellent crepes. Good drinks as well. Always worth a stop with lovely patio seating.

This comes in a set of 3 mini sizes. Staff was super accommodating and very patient with my decision paralysis of trying to choose flavors. They had great recommendations and our order was up quickly. Tried the hazelnut, semi sweet, and cardamom rose. Really enjoyed it! The marshmallows are also house made and were delish! Tried the truffle of the week, Baileys and they also had a line of brewery inspired flavors, so I tried the Clementine Cider. One also random star of the show is the well stocked washroom! Equipped with ample space, changing table, baby wipes, diapers, sanitary pads and tampons. Kudos for being well stocked for all the ladies and mamas out there! Can't wait to come back to try the other drinking chocolates!

I opted to try the goat cheese walnut dark chocolate while they prepared my drinking chocolate. My candy was delicious and goat cheese pair well with the chocolate. For my drinking chocolate, I got the Koval Bourbon Drinking Chocolate with Salted Caramel Marshmallow. It was fantastic and a nice warm up to frigid temperatures outside. All in all, a good way to warm up. Lots of options for food. On this occasion it was pretty packed but everyone was in jolly moods considering the holiday season.

If you want to try to find something new for a change, check out Hotel Chocolat. The Classic hot with 70% real chocolate with milk is amazing. There are plenty of high level chocolate products to choose with beautiful packaging for gift giving. The service is good. Friendly casual staff. The noise level can vary. 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. I forgot to mention that there is a small assortment of pastries to pair with a selection of hot, iced, and frozen chocolate concoctions. Enjoy!

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.

We've tried the jasmine osmanthus, and as of 5/24/26 the most recent flavor is ube (and apparently still is at the time of this review according to their Instagram). All the flavors have been incredible so far and we always look forward to the next time we can go. Additionally, it's vegan so everyone can enjoy it! They have been known to run out though, so get there early if you can. They also have beautifully decorated bonbons, caramels, and chocolates, all with some really unique flavors I haven't seen anywhere else - check out the pictures to see some of them! I'd feel guilty eating the bonbons because they're so elegant, but they would make a fantastic gift. They make their matcha lattes using matcha powder that they also sell, and you can actually choose which matcha powder you want to try based on its profile. They have a chart that shows the matcha choices and their descriptions; I'll try to grab a picture of and post here the next time we go which will hopefully be soon, but someone may have already posted it. It's a small place so it can get busy and crowded quickly, especially since they're only open on the weekends. Everyone has been so nice and helpful whenever we go though, despite how busy they get! Can't wait until our next visit!

My favorite, along with many others, is the iced banana bread latte. Definitely get it with the vanilla cinnamon cold foam! I've had a variety of pastries here, but particularly love the coffee cakes and cookies. The breakfast sandwich is also really great if it's fresh. The staff for the most part have been very warm and friendly. If it's busy, they are less likely to want to chat about the options and give a recommendation, so come in with a few ideas of what you're looking for if you come on a weekend! The store itself is very cute, with lots of wood and warm colors. There is limited seated outside on a few benches. I recommend walking to the park to enjoy your treats and coffee.

She recommended a Bolognese Danish, a Dubai pistachio brownie, and I added an everything bagel and took it all to go. The Danish was by far my favorite. The pastry was flaky, heavenly, and the filling rich and meaty. This is a pastry worth crossing town for. The brownie was fine, but maybe I'm over the Dubai chocolate trend. It didn't really come together as a unified dessert for me. I wanted the brownie to be richer, fudgier, maybe even a bit sweeter. I would probably get something else next time. The everything bagel was a good texture, but the fennel seeds in the seasoning took me so far away from the classic "everything." They overpowered the other flavors, but the texture was fantastic. Overall, I enjoyed the treats I got, would go back to try some other options. I would probably give this 3.5 stars, but I'm rounding up. Also want to add how much I miss Hot Chocolate!
