    Delicious samples!
    Danica S.

    Delicious single sourced fair trade chocolates! Loved all the dark chocolates that lacked the bitterness we're accustomed to. I usually eat milk chocolate with dark from time to time, but the all the dark offerings won my heart and stole the show. Purchased $40 worth of dark chocolate, and will try sharing with hubby and friend. Also purchased the lavender white chocolate...oh so good. I honestly loved them all and had a difficult time selecting favorites. Forgot to try the dark chocolate with chili, but my friend from work enjoyed it. She also loved the brown butter chocolate chip cookie. They have frozen hot chocolate which was tempting since the recipe is similar to NYC's Serendipity. ----Next time OH! There was one staff person who was pleasant and allowed us to try all chocolates. It was nice to have clean cut chocolate samples instead of broken random pieces. It just looked nicer IMO and added to the beautiful esthetic of this place. Chandelier and all.

    Stopped by Findlay Market to walk around and saw this adorable shop. The shop was very clean, very welcoming and had samples so you can try before you buy! The woman who was working was very knowledgeable and friendly. She gave some history while we tried some of the chocolates! We sat down outside the store and ate our cookie immediately. It is the perfect amount of sweet and salty!

    This was a cute chocolate store located right outside of Findlay Market. We stopped by here on Sunday. You can sample any of the chocolates on display, which is nice. I sampled the bourbon bar and it was very good. My boyfriend ended up buying one of the bourbon bars to take home. The reason Maverick gets 4 stars from me and not 5 is because of the prices: the chocolate bars were all $12, I believe, which is pretty pricey IMO, even though the quality of the chocolate was high. I think the most inexpensive thing you can get here is the hot dipping chocolate (aka a hot chocolate) for $5.50 - it is small but was also very tasty, and you can choose if you want whipped cream or not on it. Overall I'd come back here to try more of the chocolates and possibly purchase one, but $12 for a bar is a bit expensive for me.

    Pricey but totally yummy chocolates. And you can try the chocolates before you buy. I got a few bars for Christmas presents. I was so distracted by the chocolate bars I didn't even realize they had drinks and others stuff lol. Now ill have to go back to try some more things.

    We walked in and waited a brief time to be helped due to the associates assisting the group in front of us. We looked at the small chocolate samples, cookies, and hot chocolate. The 2 guys working were informative and passionate about educating and helping us, as well as a tiny bit of selling mixed in. Their passion showed and truly Is what made us purchase a 6 pack of truffles. (+1 that I overlooked when originally deciding on 6). We ordered : fresh orange, raspberry rose, amaretto latte, passion fruit, dark chocolate, cinnamon, and mint. They were all good but our favorites, that we could have eaten more than 1 of are: raspberry rose, passion fruit, cinnamon, and amaretto latte.

    Finley market with hot chocolate

    I get the hot chocolate here and am kind of addicted to it. So thick and creamy and dark. I think it's a 65% cacao chocolate so not super sweet which I love. Never had another hot coco like it. Severs are friendly and knowledgeable about their product too

    Wonderful chocolate! My husband and I stopped in on a whim today while shopping in Findlay Market. I love all things chocolate and we're both big fans of dark chocolate. We chose a 80% Tanzania Dark Chocolate bar and a Fahrenheit 513 Dark Chocolate bar. I also couldn't resist grabbing a couple of the beautiful Truffles that are in the counter display. I picked a Bourbon Truffle and a Peanut Butter Truffle. There's samples so you can try a flavor before you buy. We tried the Fahrenheit 513 so my husband could taste if it was hot/spicy enough for him. It is! The chocolate is delicious! And the service was awesome. Friendly and helpful. We'll definitely stop in again for more chocolate.

    This shop across from Findlay Market is small, and when one steps inside and takes a deep breath it seems that the amount of oxygen in the air is probably about the same as the amount of vaporized chocolate. Having already been to their suburban shop, I was expecting, and received, a tiny but richly flavored hot chocolate. Here, they were doing samples of their range of chocolate bars as well, and they did have truffles for sale. I would say that the suburban outlet is bigger and would probably shop there if I had the choice, but this location is definitely a good place to get your chocolate on.

    Frozen hot chocolate

    Beautiful chocolate shop with a nice selection of chocolates& truffles. It was the frozen hot chocolate that brought us in. It's like Serendipity & Jaques Torres in NYC. $5 cup & made to order.

    I stumbled on the place when going to Findley market. They make some chocolate in this store and more in their hyde park store. They get cocoa from around the world. Many to try. You can buy a bar for $11. They also have fancy truffles made from the owner. I had the orange chocolate. It was good but I didnt taste a lot of orange. High quality but not on the level of belgian or swiss chocolate that I had while visiting Switzerland and Belgium.

    By far the best chocolate I've ever had. I'm a chocoholic--seriously. I eat chocolate every day. Maverick consistently blows my mind because of how incredible it is. It's expensive ($8-10 a bar, $2.25 per truffle), but it's SO worth it. The bean to bar makes for the most decadent chocolate. You can immediately tell that this chocolate is super high quality. If you go into the shop, they have samples for you to try. I love trying all the different kinds; you can really tell the difference between each bar. I also love that this is a local company that I can support. The employees are all very nice. They are more than happy to tell you about each bar and how they differ from one another. It's fun to learn about the chocolate you're eating! Bottom line: this is my favorite chocolate in the world. You have to try it.

    Prohibition bar - Kentucky bourbon dark milk chocolate with bourbon barrel smoked sea salt
    Amy C.

    Mmmm. Chocolate. They had me at one word. This is a boutique gourmet chocolate shop (and more importantly, chocolate maker) of truffles, bars and drinks. I had visions of entering the heavenly candy shop in "Chocolot," one of my favorite movies, as my husband and I walked into Maverick to do some damage. The great part is you can sample small pieces of the $10 bars before deciding to buy. A great idea, because that is a splurge. Most of their various bar chocolates come from different regions in the world, and are made in dark, milk and white. I selected an incredibly smooth and delicious Prohibition bar - dark milk chocolate with Kentucky bourbon and bourbon barrel smoked sea salt. I'm determined to savor it. Based on the photos of their new, second shop in Rookwood, it appears there are even more chocolates to select there, and it's always good to have more choices.

    Maverick Chocolate Co. is an award winning chocolatier. Located near Findlay Market, Maverick crafts specialty chocolates fresh from the bean. Beans come from ethically sourced growers. Chocolate is then made in small batches. Maverick also partners with local businesses. They are the offical chocolate of the Hotel Covington. Names for some of their bars are even inspired by Cincinnati. Not in the Cincinnati area, and craving their goods? Orders may be placed through their website as well. Service is excellent. There are samples of their bars. With each sample came more information about the chocolate and the store. Maverick goes beyond the traditional white, milk and dark chocolate. There are internationally inspired dark chocolates, a spicy dark chocolate, bourbon or orange milk chocolate, white chocolate with cocoa nubs and even a lemon lavender white chocolate. Just to name a few. They kept encouraging us to try more. The store itself was clean. Prices are on the high side. Though that is not uncommon for small batch, artisan products.

    So much chocolate goodness!

It's nice that the story is on the back of the menus, so locals and guest alike can get a sense of the amazing history! This location could have any quality of food and I would still enjoy a visit because the ambience and decor is so fun and cute! The outside façade of the restaurant as well as the branding have been recently updated, but the inside is straight out of the 1950s. All of the pink, chrome, soda fountain vibes are so fun. And it's such a treat to visit such a vintage spot in 2026! One of Cincinnati's true gems. The ice cream is consistently delicious! It doesn't compete with the other Cincinnati family brand in my opinion, but the diversity of the menu keeps me coming back. I got a pineapple mint ice cream soda, which was surprisingly refreshing and a really good balance of fruity and creamy. My husband got a sundae, which we felt was a little small compared to some of the other menu items - our friends got malts and had a whole other cup of malt available in the stainless steel cup that came on the side. I couldn't help but notice the portion size of that was inconsistent with some of the other items, and I made a plan to split a mall next time for a great value! The service is top-notch and there are very few places you can go to be waited on for an ice cream experience. Don't miss it!

The old-school charm of the shop, with its vintage chairs and ice cream diner vibe, felt like stepping back in time. My wife and i decided to indulge in a sweet treat and as we waited for our orders. She opted for two scoops of chocolate and coffee, while i chose a unique sundae named bourbon it has vanilla, chocolate, and coffee all topped with hot fudge and caramel. Each bite was bursting with flavors that were both rich and unexpected, thanks to their homemade creations. The attendant proudly shared the shop's history having been open since 1908, adding a layer of nostalgia and authenticity to our experience. Walking away, i couldn't help but feel grateful for the opportunity to experience such a delightful spot. The combination of rich history, exceptional flavors, and friendly service made Aglamesis Brothers a must-visit for anyone in Cincinnati seeking a memorable ice cream parlor experience. I'll definitely be back to savor more of their creations and to delve into the stories of their long-standing tradition. Until then, thank you for a truly delightful journey!

The store itself is so aesthetically pleasing and very cute! Lovely decor and very picturesque like you could just sit down there for a bit and hang out with some girlfriends. The lady running the store also was very friendly and kind. She explained all the different types of items they have that were the chocolate peanut butter thdnet, with a lot of appealing options. But we ended up just going for the classic buckeye balls. As far as the taste - phenomenal! The chocolate and peanut butter flavor went perfectly well together and they were not too sweet or peanut buttery or anything. Everything was perfectly balanced. Very yummy! It also came with an Ohio shaped chocolate in the package, which was very thoughtful in my opinion.

    Holy Chocolate, Candyman!…read more Ruby's is a very small store but this is truly a case of "it's not what's on the outside, but what's on the inside"! And what is inside, is SWEEEEET! I dare anyone not to overbuy at Ruby's. Furthermore, I dare anyone to walk out with just one thing or even have an easy time deciding what to take home. I've prepared tax forms easier than trying to make the decisions I had to make at Ruby's. So here are some examples of what I brought home: Milk Chocolate Turtle Bark Dark Chocolate Turtle Bark Cookies 'n' Cream Bark Milk Chocolate Covered Rice Krispy Treat Red Velvet Truffle Cake Mint-to-be Truffle Maple Bacon Truffle Cake (you will never find a cuter confection in your entire life!) Carrot Cake Truffle Cake Bacon Brownie Truffle Cake Cookies 'n' Cream Truffle Cake Milk Chocolate Squares Truffle Sampler Box Gummy Worms Joy Sticks I believe my take home list illustrates my personal lack of self control and how good Ruby's is. It was actually somewhat embarrassing and shocking to actually write it out. If you're looking g for something specific, and you don't see it, ask for it. If you're looking to do something specific, personalized or creative - call them. They will be more than willing to work with you. Beautifully and creatively decorated, Ruby's is a cool little spot to visit. It is a candy wonderland with a little bit of something for everyone. Whether you're buying a treat for the kids or want to bring something different and really make a splash with a gift, you need to stop in. You won't be disappointed. Would I go back? Yes, but..... In speaking with the owner Sina, we connected that there is another location closer to me in the Liberty Township, OH area. This location was about an hour from me, in rush hour traffic. So I may not frequent this location, I was very happy to hear of the other location in my area. Myself, my dentist and future endocrinologist are all looking forward to my return to another Ruby's Chocolate's location!
