Lot of chocolate in every size, shape and form and candy from the last 2 generations, its a great place to go to for any sweet craving you'll ever have. Their chocolate tres leches is the bomb, and if you can find it in one of their discount plastic to-go boxes that means the slice was cut irregular and you get it from a discount which that by itself is awesome. And then of course you can get milk, lattes, chocolate milk, coffee etc.. to go along with whatever chocolate or sweet concoction you picked out. Like if the Willie Wonka factory had a gift shop it would be the Chocolate Bar in Rice Village. I don't know what other sentences I can use to get you to come here so I'll just stop there and rely on the rest of these reviews to offer what I lack in words!!!! bon appetit read more

Cute little place! About two dozen flavours of ice cream greet you at the door, with free samples offered. I can recommend the cherry pecan--nice whole pieces of pecan, not just bits! They're generous with the ice cream scoops here. The small size (says 2 small scoops, for about $2.50) is still a large serving. Quite a selection of chocolate bars in funny designs--hammers, toothbrush kits, cuffs, Rice merch, UH merch, and a pizza chocolate. There sits a little corner for candy, and a larger area for sitting and enjoying your treat. There's quite a selection of chocolate treats which includes your regular nut bars, smores bars, banana and apples, and of course chocolate dipped berries. Staff is helpful and attentive. Students in the area get a discount (if asked). read more

This is a place I've been revisiting for years and years! Their chocolate tres leches is amazing and although I i venture out and try different cakes I always come back to the tres leches it's just SO good! Their hot chocoLate is amazing, both the traditional and more concentrated one. It's also a cute place to get little gifts for anyone who loves chocolate! I always bring my out of town visitors here I feel like it's such a charming place situated in rice village. read more

This is my go to place to sit and enjoy a piece of cake to celebrate someone's birthday. I stopped by here last month and ordered chocolate tres leches cake and 7 layer chocolate cake. Both were so delicious. The 7 layer cake was so big it was enough for 2 people to share. read more

The Chocolate Bar rounds out the top 3 best cookies in Houston based on our Cookie Crawl. Given the name of this place, it would be downright criminal for the chocolate in the cookie not to be amazing, and I'm happy to say that they were remarkably better than the rest. Instead of chips, they use chocolate chunks, and they were very generous. The dough itself could stand to be a bit more moist, but considering it was sitting in a display case all day and STILL tasted this good, I gotta give props. I've tried enough items here to know that there are some hits and misses. The Uncle Darryl's Cake gets a loud YES from me, and chocolate cake isn't even my favorite. It's ridiculously big and tall, so I would just get a discounted slice that they made an oopsie on when cutting. Who cares if it looks ugly? You will be satisfied. The day and night and White Russian cakes are just okay. The cheesecakes are pretty reliable, as is the ice cream. There's no subtlety in what they do; everything is loaded with sugar here, but sometimes, that's exactly what you're looking for. read more

Being from California, I'm all about See's Candy. It's a staple. But this was a nice change. Willy Wonky meets Mrs. See's. Love the chocolate covered selections and the fact that almost everything had a dark chocolate choice. The cakes were the hardest to choose from. So many layers, so many choices of ganache... When you finally do decide on a slice, have three of four friends on standby to help eat it. The slices are huge. Nice booth and table seating choices, good music and a fun atmosphere that allows you to feel comfy while hanging out in your chocolate coma. read more

If you have a major sweet tooth like me then this place is ideal for you. Part of it is an ice team parlor, part of it is a chocolate shop and another part candy. Having to decide which of their immense line up of ice cream options is hard so grab a sample spoon (or spoons) and try a few out. They're really good about letting you try some but don't get greedy haha. The chocolate shop area is filled with different chocolate varieties in all shapes and forms...literally. The side wall is entirely dedicated to chocolate molded into different shapes and items like dogs, cats, nurse tools, doctors kits, tennis rackets and more. I think any of these would be good to include as part of a gift. They also have chocolate covered gummies which from my experience is really hard to find in Texas. Cute shop and reasonably priced. read more

Possibly the best place on earth. How anyone can rate chocolate bar less than 5 stars is beyond my comprehension read more

Excellent baked goods and ice cream! Everything looks and tastes fresh. It's always a real treat to come here. The portions are enough to feed your sweet craving for days! read more

Chocolate lovers paradise. Place is amazing. Any and all things Chocolate. I'm not much of a chocolate fan either!

The best and so most delicious tres leches cake in the world!!!! Great customer service.

I've already written a review for the other location (on W. Alabama) and I'm going to say that I prefer that location, but that might just be because I am more familiar with it. This location is larger, which is nice. Basically, all the desserts, candy, and ice cream at The Chocolate Bar are amazing. Personal favorites include Uncle Darryl's chocolate cake and the Creamy Dreamy Chocolate Truffle ice cream, but I've never really had anything I didn't like. Wonderful place! read more

Geez. So, i've pretty much gone here about 5 times in a month. I'm not saying that's a great thing, but I've definitely increased my chocolate consumption about say... tenfold. It doesn't help that this place is so close to me, but I just can't say no to their ice creams... and that they let you try their flavors. eek. If you have a chance, try their lemon peel white chocolate ice cream. I can't get enough of it. Something about the slight bitterness of the lemon peel (not sour at all) cuts the sweet white chocolate and brings a balance. I usually get the small, with the bottom scoop white chocolate and another flavor to pair with it (usually snow berry). The cake can get expensive, but they're so delicious and fairly worth it. Also, it's worth it to mention that sometimes they cut their cakes wrong or something, I forget what it says on their sign but they offer "oops" slices of cakes. These are at a discounted price. After 8pm, they have fruit happy hour. 50% of their dipped fruit. Also, i love the kitschy feel, and one time I came in here when there was a swing dance group meet or something and there was a live band. super cute. Also, once I came in with one of my cute girl friends and she was offered a sample of chocolate dipped fruit because she had never been in. I think it was because the employee was crushing on her, but hey... you can't say no to free chocolate covered fruit. read more

Their chocolate cake is always so moist and rich. The portions are HUGE so it's definitely shareable. Daveon helped my cousins and I out yesterday and was so kind while helping us celebrate one of the girls newly engagement! This place NEVER disappoints read more

Recovering chocoholics beware! One step into this neighborhood hot spot will send you back to choco-rehab. This joint is not for the faint of heart. You know, those people who can't tolerate sweets, those on strict diets, and hell...even diabetics! The aroma of cocoa and fresh coffee greets you at the door as you make your way into the insanity that is Chocolate Bar. Nothing here is "bad," and you can't go wrong no matter what you order. For first timers, I highly recommend Aunt Etta's chocolate cake. It is layer upon layer upon layer of chocolate Utopian delight, and don't forget the milk. If cake isn't your cup of tea at the moment, you have to try the chocolate-covered Pringles. Yes, I said Pringles. Don't say any more...just try them. Anyway, I could go on and on about what is in store for you at Chocolate Bar, but then this review would end up a novel. Just head over there, fight the others for a parking spot, park your rump in a booth, and prepare yourself for the chocolate ride of your life! And FYI: Don't bother asking for vanilla ice cream with any cakes or pies. They don't have it. All of the things they have there will have chocolate in it (except the drinks, of course)...they are called CHOCOLATE Bar after all! read more

This place use to be my favorite ice cream spot, until they got new ownership and changed all the formulas.. why fix something if it ain't broken.. it seems to me like they're cutting cost in every area, including food quality. Sorry Chocolate Bar, you are no longer my #1..not even on my list of places I would recommend. read more

I start giggling like a 3 year old girl as soon as I open the door. The aroma of chocolate hits your nose like a sack of bricks, and you'll walk around the bar dizzy and seeing stars.... chocolate stars. The left side of the bar is all cakes, cheesecakes, pies, and cookies. Aunt Etta's chocolate cake is THE BEST FREAKING CHOCOLATE CAKE you will ever taste. Simple with the perfect level of decadence. Order extra chocolate chips and chocolate syrup to top. It's worth the $10 because it takes 4 people to finish one piece. It takes ME, the chocolate fiend, 2 days. Yea. Don't forget to order some milk at the counter. I don't know what the other desserts taste like, as they pale in comparison to Aunt Etta's cake. I've tried a lot of them. The only other thing of note is the chocolate tres leches. Very different, very rich, and very tasty. The center bar is ice cream. Taste test until your heart's content. It's tough to find something without a lot of chocolate. Why would you do such a thing? Well, because sometimes, you need a scoop of simple ice cream to offset Aunt Etta's chocolate cake. Good luck. The right side of the bar is individual truffles and pralines, and chocolate covered fill-in-the-blank-here. Chocolate covered Lucky Charms? Check. Chocolate covered Pringles? Check. Check. Check. Custom-made chocolate pizzas are made at the back window. They also serve coffee, great hot chocolate, and tasty frozen hot chocolate. The right side of the restaurant is novelty chocolate items. They make great gifts, and yes, you can find chocolate covered anything here... something for the painter, the teacher, the lawyer, the cat lover... you get the idea. I like the other location better because it is cozier, but this location is open later and perfect for that sweet night cap. This place is huge in comparison, but the staff are just as energetic and sweet. I used to save trips to the other location for special occasions. My waist line currently rues the day that Chocolate Bar opened up a location so close to my apartment and work. read more

Came here for dessert and it was buzzing with energy. We were in the mood for ice cream so we split two scoops - brownie supreme and candylicious junkyard. I loved the brownie supreme - super chocolatey, soft, creamy, and the brownie bits were just big enough to bite into but small enough that the ice cream was still creamy. The candylicious junkyard was awesome too - all sorts of delicious chocolates dumped into the vat. Each bite was unique and gave you a different flavor. This place was a little too loud for me to have a conversation in - there were several large parties making a ruckus and banging around the metal chairs. It's not their fault that their desserts are awesome and it's a fun place to hang, but not my choice environment for dessert. Definitely give them a try! There is something for everyone - ice cream, pastries, and chocolates! read more

Half candy shop. Half bakery/ coffee shop. This place is great. They have a bunch of pre packaged boxes of chocolate for gifting. They also have a counter full of huge chocolate cakes, chocolate cheese cakes, Oreo pies, brownies, cookies, and even saw chocolate tres leches. Ordered a slice of their bodacious chocolate cake for my girl and I to share. At about 6.75 it was more than enough for us to share. Definitely worth checking out if your in the rice village area. read more

Winfield's Chocolate Bar - The bodacious chocolate cake. About 6.75 a slice - Desserts Near Me - Houston, Texas

I just counted my teeth and all 30 of them fall under the "sweet" category. And yes, this place is awesome as per the other reviews except of their bakery - I'm just not impressed. Yes they give you reasonably large pieces but from the cakes and pies I've had there, by the second bite you're like, meh - this is not satiating my craving. There's just something dull about their baked goods - maybe their sheer size suggest they are like what Sam's is to a gourmet grocery store: big and get's the job done, but maybe didn't have exactly what you're looking for. Now their ice cream - yum!!! read more

The Chocolate Bar is kind of a mess. If feel like I could walk in there and take anything off the shelf and walk out without paying...not that I would do that...but their counter service set up is extremely unorganized. The ice cream was ok and the chocolate cover fruit was just average. I guess it's a good place to go for dessert with out-of-towners. read more

Service was good, lots of choice's, lots of sweet cakes. I came for a gift card and left with a junk yard cookie (Yummmyyy), and some chocolate bars. I haven't tried them yet. Didn't get to try the cakes either. You can't really go wrong with chocolate. Place was nice, plenty of selection. Just kinda bummed that a lot of it needed restocking, the sour straws, (Asian? Did it say Asian?) Rice candy, jones, lots of the same item restocked twice in different places to take room. I'll come and try the cakes next time and give this place a true review! read more

The new owners have sadly changed everything that used to allure customers in. Hardly any desserts left in comparison to what was once my dessert hot spot, whether it be cake, baked goods, ice cream, candy, and chocolate. Hours have drastically been cut, no longer open til midnight on the weekends. The new ice cream flavors are okay, but taste the same from any generic ice cream store. It's a shame to see this establishment crumble; will unfortunately not be back. read more

I have been to this place several times and have never been disappointed, NEVER. The cheerful and friendly environment is always a wonderful place to take guests, co-workers, friends, and family. Just last week, I took my cousins that came to visit from Toronto to The Chocolate Bar and they were beyond amazed. One place where adults can be kids. Amazing service by jolly employees. Also, they have a shop where you can buy gift for almost any occasion. I recently bought a chocolate baby bottle, pacifier and baby rattle for my co-worker's baby shower. She absolutely loved it, and yes she gobbled up all the chocolate after taking numerous pictures of the gift. The Chocolate Tres Leches is a dream come true! Best I've ever had. Its about $7 to $12 for a slice of cake, a slice that you can share with 1 to 3 people. May get a little pricey at times, but it is totally worth it. This location is perfect, right by a shopping center. Great place to go after a shopping trip with your girls. The only downfall I see is parking area. I always have to park across the street when I go. And whenever I take kids I have to take extra caution while crossing the busy street. read more

I still love Chocolate Bar, but the Rice Village location isn't quite the same. I just got one of their newsletters in my Inbox and this is what it says at the bottom regarding a discount: "...all employees of the Medical Center and all student, faculty and staff at Rice University show us YOUR ID or your Hedge-Hopper card and get a 10% discount on your total purchase!!" How awesome is that? Right after Christmas, I bought some milk chocolates that were marked down 75%. They also offer party packages if you want to throw a birthday party or a shower. Still a huge fan of snowberry and coffee toffee time ice creams. read more

When I worked in the Village... this would be a my go-to place for something sweet or just to grab a soda! The staff is EXTREMELY nice! They'll get you in and out. They'll help you with any questions you might have. Plus they'll refill your fountain drinks without an extra charge! Best time is to stop in after 8 PM because all of their chocolate dipped fruit is HALF OFF! My favorite chocolate bar has gummy bears in them. Their Texas frito is a delicious mix of sweet and salty. Honestly nothing is bad here as long as you like chocolate. read more

I'm not exactly sure if I came to this one or to the one since I'm from out of town . . . but either way, I give this four stars. I was totally boring and ordered one of the dark chocolate ice creams. It was really good! Some of my friends ordered the Creamy Dreamy Truffle, which was also delicious. The atmosphere was very open, lots of tables and chairs in a dining hall like setting with the 'bar' in the middle and the store on the other side. I do want to mention that there was a slightly disturbing WIlly Wonka figure suspended from the ceiling in what looked like a toilet. read more

My husband and I were killing time in the Rice Village when we stumbled upon The Chocolate Bar. We were mesmerized by all of the candies and chocolates from yesteryear, the crazy concoctions of gelato, and the interesting dipped-in-chocolate delights like cereals and fruits. The cakes are ginormous with slices as tall as your face. I'm not big on chocolate so things like the chocolate pizza made my stomach hurt just by looking at it. But if you're a lover of all things chocolate, do yourself a favor and stop in here. Your sweet tooth will thank you. read more

Why watch Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory when you can live it!? Leave your calorie trackers at the door for some chocolatey indulgence. They have everything from ice cream (beware, the base for all the flavors is *gasp* chocolate) and unique gifts (what's better than a toothpaste tube made of chocolate?) to cakes, bars, and pies huger than your face. Everything is absolutely decadent, reasonably priced, and definitely shareable... but hey, I'm never one to judge. My absolute favorites - the chocolate covered espresso beans, the candy junkyard brownie, the chocolate bar with the gummy bears inside, pretty much all the ice creams, the Aunt Etta's or Uncle Daryl's cake. The chocolate tres leches is okay, but definitely pales compared to some of the other gems. Diabetics beware! Also, if you're not into chocolate (what?), there's a shameful corner with tons of regular candy. Yawn. Tons of seating, and I heard there's swing dancing some nights? So that's pretty cool. I do wish they would put up a sign to politely ask parties of 2 to maybe not take up a booth for 10. I'm all for romance and etc., but on busy nights it's always awkward when large groups have to borrow tons of chairs and combine tables because a couple is in one of the larger seating arrangements. Still, nothing and no one will keep me from frequenting this place. Just gotta do some cardio afterwards. read more

I deem this as my "happy place" in the city, and my go-to place for whenever I am craving an amazing dessert and want to satisfy my sweet tooth. My favorite thing to order here is the ice cream called *Orange Sunrise*. I usually do not like orange flavors mixed with chocolate but this was just so [unexpectedly] delicious! You can definitely taste the chocolate (dark chocolate, but not strong) as well as the kick of orange. They also add tiny tiny tiny tiny bits of orange into the icecream which gives the dessert the real orange flavor. In addition, I really love the "half-price all chocolate-covered fruit" after 8pm because their chocolate-covered fruits are just so delicious and are conveniently at a reduced-price at dessert-time (after dinner). I usually get the chocolate-covered banana, chocolate-covered apple, and a box of their chocolate covered strawberries. read more

I went there with friends after dinner and my only regret is that I should have skipped dinner and just gone to The Chocolate Bar. Three words: Tres Leches Cake. read more

I tried this place for Valentines Day for my whole family. I bought six things. The pure chocolate bars were terrific. The drizzled chocolate snack mixes were not good. In fact the chips used in them were very stale. It could have been a reaction to sealing up the boxes while the chocolate was hot. In any event my sons reactions were not positive - not enough chocolate to overcome the stale chips. We also got drizzled popcorn which was really good tasting but had an odd odor. I'd return to get pure chocolate bars and baked goods, buy not snacks. read more

I can't believe I'm actually here giving this place a one star. I've been going to the chocolate bar for as long as I can remember- starting with the first location on Alabama. I go through different phases of what I love over there, whether it's the cakes, cookies, chocolate or ice cream. I have no idea what I walked into today but it definitely wasn't the Chocolate Bar. The beautiful candy section has been replaced by some awkwardly scattered tables. It looks odd- almost dreary . And then most importantly , ALL THE ICE CREAM FLAVORS HAVE CHANGED. Gone is totally nuts , creamy dreamy truffle , coffee toffee time, etc -all the original unique flavors . Now you have some basic basic basic flavors that make it no different from the Ben & Jerry's down the street (Ben & Jerry's probably being better now ). The only good change is the introduction of a new tiny portion size which holds one scoop of ice cream- that's probably all you want of these new flavors anyways. All the families around me were confused on the new flavors as well: chocolate almond, chocolate peanut butter, silk chocolate - you know all the flavors you can find from Haagen Daaz at the grocery store . I'm just so disappointed on why they changed a perfectly good thing. Even my chocolate tres leches didn't taste the same ;( Oh and don't ask the employees what happened- you get an eye roll, sigh and mumbled "new owner" sentence but I'm sure every second person is asking them since this new place is an embarrassment to the original establishment! read more

Not sure what happened to this place, from the decorations and store layout to the presentation and changes to their products. It use to be my favorite dessert spot now it's just meh. read more

going to the chocolate bar makes me feel like a kid. or at least a grown up in the gift shop of an amusement park. this time, i got a slice of the chocolate red velvet cake which was flavorful, moist and light. the red velvet cake part was fluffy and the chocolate cream cheese frosting melted in my mouth. i also got a white chocolate pecan pretzel, which was sweet, crunchy and deliciously pecan-ey. i met eric, the very friendly and courteous owner who helped me to narrow down some cake choices. if i could have a birthday party anywhere, i would definitely hit up The Chocolate Bar! read more

Delicious ice cream flavors! Staying true to their name, almost all the flavors being offered are chocolate, but that's the whole point of the store. There's the candy section to your left, ice cream station in the middle, and chocolate galore to the right. It's a spacious shop with tons of seating available for you to enjoy your treats. I bought a few chocolate bars for $3 each. Delicious! read more
