They have a nice canvas sail overhead to give some shade for seating. The inside is super small. Not what I was expecting. It was similar to Salt & Straw on the Vancouver Waterfront. It's definitely a grab and go type of establishment. I didn't see any baked goods displayed at all. Maybe they've done away with those options?! They had a nice variety of ice-cream flavors to choose from, including non-dairy selections. They also had floats. I decided on the single scoop Mint Cookies & Cream. It was absolutely delicious, and fresh! No freezer burn whatsoever, and plenty of cookies throughout. The mint flavor wasn't too overpowering either. It was the perfect after lunch treat! Staff was okay. Not super friendly at all. She didn't say much when I walked in either. I was the only one in there. It looked like you could sample some of their flavors too, but I wasn't sure if the extra interaction was welcomed. Definitely a different customer service vibe than Salt & Straw; their employees are so friendly and personable. Overall an okay experience. The ice-cream was delicious, but customer service lacking.

It had a really inviting layout upon entering. I loved that the retail shelves were filled and nicely organized with bars and various chocolate treats available for purchase. There's also a vast selection of individual chocolates in the glass case. I was kindly given a salted caramel with dark chocolate couverture to sample while I wandered the shop. I also filled out an entry slip for a chance to win a gift basket filled with hand crafted, single origin chocolates valued over $300. It was nice to see that their chocolates have been award winning too, seeing awards on display from years past. Shout out to the retail person onsite that day. Very pleasant, professional, and knowledgeable. I was also given a product sheet where it was noted whether in stock or not and seasonal availability. I bought chocolate treats for others, and a 73% dark chocolate bar for myself. Highly recommended!

I was randomly driving around the Pearl District and stumbled upon Roste Chocolate House (7/9/26)…read more I managed to find a parking spot around the corner by a couture shop. Limited outdoor sidewalk seating, but inside, there's a lot of seating at a few tables and along a lengthy banquette. Eye catching interior - gawked at the production equipment, the pastry case, the display shelving, and merch galore. Most notable once I entered, I was hit with the intense scent of chocolate. The staff person greeted me warmly and was patient while I perused the menu. I chose to sip onsite a 9oz drinking chocolate which was served with whipped cream and seltzer water on a tray. Definitely not something to guzzle, but to savor slowly and pick up on the complex flavor and luscious texture. A wonderful find!

The owner was very kind to customize a fresh cupcake for my kiddo, complete with sprinkles, which he described as outstanding. I had a triple ginger molasses cookie that was the perfect balance of flavor, sweetness and softness. It is now the standard bearer for all cookies! I got a couple chocolates to go, but only one made it home... So refreshing to find a family run bakery with tasty, quality products from scratch! I will find a reason to go back and consider them for future special occasions.

Some of our group including me are gluten-free so we also ordered gluten-free cupcakes. Everyone loved every bit of the German chocolate cake and the gluten-free vegan cupcakes were spot on. Normally, I don't like vanilla gluten-free vegan cupcakes because they're always too dense and Crystal really did an amazing job. And the birthday girl said German chocolate cake was exquisite. Thank you so much.

It's my true cheat and since it's such a treat...it doesn't count toward the diet. MORE MACRONS!!

They have a great selection of pastries. The croissants are so amazing. You can tell it's a good croissant from all the fluffy layers. It's got a good egg wash on top which makes it crispy on top and soft and buttery on the inside. I also had to get the tiramisu latte. It was made to perfection. I like my coffee sweet so this was right up my ally. I also got a cookie and brownie. When you heat up the cookie and brownie a bit, it's a little taste of heaven! If you're in the area, don't sleep on this place. It's a must try!
