A poem to my first love, that thang called hot chocolate:…read more I'll drink you in a car, I'll drink you at a bar, I'll drink you next to a rock star... Baby, you are who you are. This is truly some of the best hot chocolate I've ever had. Rich, smooth, comforting, and absolutely worth returning for. Somehow I missed writing a review last year, so I had to come back and kiss and make up properly. L.A. Burdick is one of those places you do not fumble. The chocolate is the star, the vibe is cozy, and the whole experience feels like a little luxury moment tucked into the day. Do yourself a favor and get the hot chocolate. Then apologize to every other cup you've ever had.

I thought the service was great, too. The ginger loaf slice almost reminded me of a coffee cake slice, but without the brown sugar on top, and with ginger and chocolate instead.

Its my partners birthday today and I wanted to get him something sweet and delicious that was apart…read morefrom the gift that I got him. He is very much a chocolate conosoir and pretty much any type of chocolate candy would make him happy. I thought about getting the chocolate covered pecans because I know that he purchased those about a month ago and was eating them like they were nothing. They simply weigh those and would serve them in a plastic bag. Instead of that, I decided on an expensive chocolate assortment that came in a beautiful box. That seemed more like a gift than just chocolates in a plastic bag. The person behind the counter was very nice and kind of explained about the various types of chocolates that were included in the assortment. I am looking forward to a special birthday night with him.

The Chocolatier's Palette offers a variety of gourmet fudge with unique flavors. I first tried this…read morebusiness as part of a beer pairing with True Respite. Not only did the fudge pair well with the beer, but each one (tried 4) was delicious. They were all smooth, creamy, and not super rich. I like how creative the flavors are. Although I enjoyed all 4 pieces I tried, my favorite was a tie between the spicy mango and strawberry balsamic. Loved the slight heat the spicy mango gave, with the spice coming through right at the end of each bite. I thought the strawberry balsamic would be my least favorite, but it was so good. I liked how both had fruit pieces in them. I definitely plan to order more fudge from The Chocolatier's Palette in the near future. Be sure to check out their website periodically as the flavors change every 2-3 weeks. Local pickup (I believe near Grosvenor metro) or shipping is available.

Their location is perfect for anyone traveling. Located inside Union Station you will find them…read morejust before the gates. They are the perfect set up to get a gift for someone or a treat for themselves before getting on the train. The smell immediately... and very much upscale chocolate scent matching that Hershey Chocolate ride. They had samples, which I was thankful for. It allowed me to have a good idea of their offerings and help me purchase a little more. Pricing is just what I expected for them, a little high but rightfully so. No complaints there. The staff I encountered were happy as can be and worked well with each other. The one employee took their time with me as I made my selections and packaged everything up nicely.

Okay, so there are two chocolate shops in Union Station - Läderach and Neuhaus Chocolates. Läderach…read morewins! Läderach offers Swiss chocolates while Nehaus does Belgian. I thought I liked Belgian chocolate more (I'm a dark chocolate lover), but the creamy Swiss chocolate at Läderach cannot be denied. Läderach is my go-to chocolate shop to grab some festive holiday goodies - whether it's heart-shaped chocolate for Valentine's Day, chocolate bunnies for Easter, or a chocolate reindeer or angel for Christmas, Läderach offers a great selection for every occasion. This is premium chocolate, so it is pricey. The prices in the shop are the same prices as online. I do wish they had some kind of rewards/loyalty program, but I'm already a repeat customer without it. Nine times out of 10, there's a staff member standing outside the shop with a smile and a giant tray of samples to lure you in. Their chocolate hazelnut slab is smooth, rich, and delicious, and it has that perfect crunch from the nuts. Once you give them a try, you'll know what they're all about and will keep coming back for more!

They will make the recipient feel like they are king (or queen) of the castle! The chocolates are so beautiful, colorful and inventive! The boxes and bags and accoutrements are high class. And the people who work there (the owners) are friendly and knowledgeable about their goods. Almost any chocolate is good. But this chocolate is a different level. Make sure to get a little for yourself too because it is too good to miss! I highly recommend this little store in Georgetown for a tasty little gift for someone!

Another Swiss chocolatier had a more prominent space, which confused me. They offer some "buy X, get Y free" kind of deals, so I got several bars as well as some smaller chocolate bonbons. They neglected to ring up the latter items at first, and then did it as a separate transaction, which effectively messed up my credit card offer. Only cost me an extra dollar or so, but not smooth. I've had some quality oat milk chocolate that I bought from Lindt elsewhere but couldn't find it here, which is a shame. For those that want regular chocolate, the selection was mostly packaged items that you could buy online, with a few fresh things in store. I didn't want to buy online because it's summer and shipping chocolate in heat seems unwise.

I recently went to the Lindt store in Virginia because the Clarksburg, MD location closed, and that…read morehot chocolate was honestly the best I've ever had. I probably should have called first before making such a long drive, but I'm still glad I went. Quincy was extremely nice and took the time to explain why they didn't offer the hot chocolate. He had me try one of the chocolates and chatted with me during my visit. He is very knowledgeable about chocolate and genuinely kind. Even though I didn't get the hot chocolate I came for, I ended up purchasing some chocolates and it was still worth the trip. Quincy even gave me suggestions for other places in the area that serve good hot chocolate. Excellent customer service and a great experience overall.

They have a huge selection of imported chocolates, as well as, a lot of great gift ideas here…read more That was the main reason why I came here this morning. I really waited until the last minute to get a gift for a long term colleague of over twenty years who is retiring today. The gentleman was very helpful in explaining the various types of chocolate decadence that they have, and he gave me the prices as well. They don't actually post the prices here. The medium sized box of chocolate covered strawberries that I purchased was nearly $50. I think the main reason for the pricey chocolate is their location being only a block away from the White House and also because most of the chocolate is imported. I'm sure the tariffs now has increased the price by a lot. The one reason why I did not give this place five stars was that they opened over an hour later than what is posted on the door.
