From the moment we reserved the class, they were incredibly accommodating. Mr.Saif and his family went above and beyond to help me plan all the logistics, ensuring that everything was perfect! The class itself was incredible! We learned the art of tempering chocolate and created delicious treats. It was a fun experience that we all thoroughly enjoyed. This is a perfect date, a great spot for a proposal, and a must-visit for any chocolate lover. Thank you for helping us create a memory that will last a lifetime!

In the world of gourmet chocolates, Artisan Confections separates itself from the competition by their visual appeal. The sea of browns and minuscule sprinkles and linear frostings creates ambiguity and indecisiveness within a box of ordinary chocolates, whereas when one opens a box of Artisan Confections, each handcrafted piece has a unique trademark artistic design and array of vivid color that will leave a lasting multi-sensory impression and the only ambiguity will be whether taste supersedes visuals.

What a fantastic ice cream and candy shop! My mini and I stopped in after spending time at River…read moreMill Park when a sweet-tooth craving hit, and this place did not disappoint. As soon as we walked in, we were greeted by the sweetest woman, Ms. L, who was incredibly warm and welcoming. We ended up having a lovely conversation about business and Blue Bell ice cream, which happens to be the brand they proudly serve. The shop offers a great variety of treats, including both dispenser-style and individually wrapped candies, along with a selection of specialty sodas. They also serve milkshakes, and while the flavor selection isn't overwhelming, it includes many of the most popular and well-loved options. The space itself is small but clean, inviting, and well kept. While there are no public restrooms, the overall atmosphere makes it a pleasant place to stop in and enjoy a treat. Overall, it was a sweet and enjoyable visit, and a perfect stop if you're in the area and looking to satisfy a craving. Update 4/12/26: We're back! It's Sunday, a beautiful Sunday...so why not have a scoop or two. Ms. L was not working today but service was efficient and the ice cream is scrumptious. I decided on salted caramel with a cake cone this time and my mini chose a scoop of mango in a cup. Delightful!

I had a credit card offer to use and it's always good to have chocolate on hand, so I stopped in…read more The shop is kind of hidden in the back of the Pentagon City Mall on the lowest level. 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.

The Amazing Chocolate Workshop is from the UK and it is awesome to see them set up shop at Tysons Corner Center. The dark chocolates feature 64% cocoa.

The staff were welcoming and helpful with answering customers' questions. I look forward to returning.

Absolutely adorable concept with good tasting chocolate BUT...beware…read more.. I did not have my glasses on when signing. I knew the chocolates were 6.50 each because I asked the prices - however, I did not know I was being charged 1.50 per box (three boxes)! How else would these delicate chocolates have been packaged?? I am very disappointed. We were going to be coming back to make purchases for office staff when they did some restocking - now, no way! Deceptive and stupid to charge extra for something that should be included and was not stated in advance. Also - pretty sure that other review is from the person who works there. I notice they mention "build and/or purchase a gift box"...funny the sales person does not mention this in person.

Dear reader, Rita's…read morenear Kingstowne is one of my favourite stops when a frozen treat is required, and I rarely need much convincing. My order of choice is the Blendini, which combines custard, Italian ice, and mix-ins into one glorious little cup of excess. Quite frankly, why choose one dessert when you can have several at once? The variety is part of the fun. They have loads of Italian ice and custard flavours to choose from, so there is always some new combination calling my name. The custard is wonderfully creamy, the ice is refreshing, and together they make a very convincing argument for frequent return visits. Everyone working here has always been nice and welcoming, which makes the experience even sweeter. It is an easy, casual neighbourhood stop that consistently delivers exactly what I want. A thoroughly delightful little treat and one I will continue visiting with absolutely no restraint.

4/4/26 Different Custard Icecream?!, a major difference…read morebetween the Ritas in Fairfax and this place. I wanted to find out what the Cotton Candy and Peach Custard Icecream tasted like, but this isn't an option. Only the flavored ice has the option of sampling them. I decided to keep it simple and went with Vanilla Custard with Oreo Cookies and Caramel. The taste was wonderful and it certainly hit the spot. I don't remember the name of the manager at this store, but she certainly keeps this store clean. The ambience in the store have a nice welcoming feeling. The location of this store certainly attracts the attention of old and new clientele. Keep up the great work Ms. Manager or can I call you Calliope?

Definitely a clean and organized store. Walking in the mall decreases the convenience factor a little, but people enjoy Huntsman Mall. Very nice employees here. Also they are well staffed. Check out is seamless. Sometimes they have certain items on sale, and when they do stock up. I prefer Aldi, Lidl, and Trader Joe's more though. Being a single dad, they are more in my price range. To be fair grocery stores don't have large profit margins, but my wallet votes first.
