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.

As Pasadena goes, parking can be a little tough but its worth circling for street parking. I got there super late on a Sunday but was lucky enough to nab the last kouign amann from the case. Since I'd never been there before, I also picked up a chocolate bar with hazelnuts. I went for my usual iced vanilla latte but added their cold foam. The girl taking my order was very nice and even apologetic about their limited pastry options. I knew I'd made a mistake by getting there so late on a weekend. But I'm just so glad I got what I ordered. The coffee was delightful! It was perfectly creamy! The cold foam was a great addition to the drink. The kouign aman was out of this world! Perfectly crusty and caramelized. It's one of the best ones I've ever had. I cant wait to go back and try other items. Lesson learned...I'll be there early!

We had lunch plans nearby, so grabbed one to go to take home and share with my dad. Ordered a pain au chocolat (chocolate croissant). While it wasn't as fresh 8 hours later (nor did I expect it to be!!!!) it was large, the finish was beautiful and the chocolate high quality. I think if I had eaten it right away, it would have been even better. However $7 is on the high end for a single pastry. Would I come back here for the croissant and/or to try other offerings if I was in the area? yes.

Stumbled upon this hidden gem behind downtown Culver on Venice -- and what a find! Milla Chocolates…read moreis a beautiful little shop offering artisanal bonbons, chocolate drinks, and other sweet treats. I ordered a black sesame chocolate drink with two bonbons: pistachio and yuzu caramel. My kid devoured the pistachio in one bite, but the yuzu caramel was absolutely divine -- rich dark chocolate balanced perfectly with fragrant, real yuzu flavor. 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. Warm, welcoming, and refined -- this spot is a must-visit for anyone with a sweet tooth in Culver City.

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.

I do recommend these chocolates and will be buying many more in the future!
