I bought several bags to gift and they went in the trash because I wasn't going to give them to someone else and for us, not worth the calories. Maple malt balls - hardly any malt and it was stale with a bad aftertaste? (Sticky, not crisp, crunchy) The champagne balls had next to no filling. That combined with subpar chocolate makes this a never again for us.

The chocolate here is out of this world good ! They also sell great wine, beer, and mead options!…read moreCute spot for a date as well

The…read morechocolates are not only delightfully tasty, they look absolutely stunning, making for great gifts or even treats for yourself. I just love that they are truly bean to bar (you can literally watch them sit and sort the beans, grind them, make the chocolate and all other steps of the process). The staff is incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and efficient -- and while prices are a tad higher than your basic chocolates, they are reasonable for the high quality of premium treats you are going to get Just an additional thing I did not mention in my previous review: Their packaging is also great. Not only do they print off the individual names of chocolates you got if you make a box, there is a QR code which when you scan, takes you to the visual and descriptive online guide of all their flavors. Highly, highly recommend, and cannot see any reason why I would not make efforts to continue returning!

It was about 15 minutes until closing time and the shelves of confectioneries were almost empty but there were still patrons inside. We purchased four separate pieces to take home with us and we rationed them and enjoyed them over the next few days. They also offer coffee and hot cocoa. Definitely high-quality chocolates and worth a treat.

Videri is on the right serving $$$ non-coffee drinks - soft-serve, confections/ chocolates and other trinkets. You can get a sample (smaller than Kisses, maybe 1/3 of it) if you answer the questionnaire about stuff you'll find inside the museum, which is at the back portion of the building. Imagine doing a u-shape walk in a small room with frames on the wall. There wasn't a production when we came, would have been sweet! Kind of didn't feel as welcoming because they all looked plain and somehow serious (maybe tired at noon-ish). Would I recommend for first-timers? Yes, if you are already in the area. I'll definitely be back in Raleigh but 50/50 if I want to bring guests there again. Also, we walked to the factory from the Capitol but there's parking around the area since there are other food spots too.

I can't believe I didn't know this place existed until just a couple weeks ago when I saw it on…read moreYelp. I have a major sweet tooth, I probably bleed chocolate. So needless to say, this went up to the top of my queue. Finally, I visited last week around 11:15am just after they opened and had a great experience, and of course walked out with some delicious truffles. The owner was very friendly and talked to us about the variety of chocolates, where they're sourced, which ones he prefers etc. They sell some local artisan products/merch (soaps, cards, etc) as well. After much internal struggle (I wanted everything), I settled on an 8 count of truffles and got some citrusy, caramel, and alcohol-infused flavors. I really liked the strawberry champagne and tangerine truffles. I will definitely return to satiate my sweet tooth. This place also does private chocolatier classes (truffles, molds, bars etc) for groups of 2-10 people. They don't have a set schedule, you just call to set a time that works well for you. Definitely something else I would be interested in checking out.

The reviews here are amazing - 4.9 Yelp rating over 29 reviews, lowest reviews are TWO 4's, can't…read moreremember seeing that before! This small place offers a very nice array of flavored, hand crafted chocolate bars, bonbons, and more, crafted by folks who care about what they are creating! I tried : bars - Milk Chocolate, Sea Salt, and Ocean Tide (sea salt and carmel). All 3 were excellent, but the Milk Chocolate is the very best of the lot - it rivals any I tasted in Europe. The sea salt is excellent, even a bit addictive with the hook at the end of a bite. That's the good news, the bad news is that each bar is 2.2 ounces and costs $10 each! Frankly, that is value prohibitive for many folks - there is little value here! Obviously, many see this differently, but I'll stay with my opinion! Ambiance - 4 Food - 4.5 Service - 5 Value - 2

The lady in front was super friendly and accommodating. Could definitely see the hard work in the product they make. I tried the yuzu lemon and lavender fog truffle. After trying it i knew the decadent chocolate cake was going to be delicious. Ended up getting a 10" cake which was plenty for 13 people with leftovers. Really good cake and decorated really nicely. Did not dissapoint. I would stop by and get another cake just to try it.

First, I asked if I could place a cake order but the rudeness was over top. If you don't want to take an order maybe just lie and say you're fully booked or deadline is too tight instead of demeaning a paying customer by saying that it's not worth the time, money and effort to make certain kinds of cakes unless it's a bulk order. Ok, understandable as one expects to pay premium prices for a small cake here. What's not understandable is the rude and arrogant attitude. Given the current economic situation, labor/profit margin sensitivities are warranted but have some tact. The dismissive recommendation to go to Mad Hatter was "icing on the cake" and very hilarious.

We were confused by their pricing but went ahead and picked quite a few prepackaged chocolates. Wanted to buy a gift certificate but the sales person did not know how to do it. We later found that none of the bags were labeled with the type of chocolate inside! We had about 8 different bags. The real disappointment is that many of the chocolates were stale. I'm embarrassed because i gifted a couple of the bags. Honestly not worth buying from this store. I really wanted to love our purchases.

I understand running a small business is challenging, but I wish I would've at least been made aware of their gift card policy in advance.

No greeting, the lady behind the counter just walked up and started pulling desserts out as we were talking amongst ourselves and trying to decide on them, so felt a little rushed. Also, I guess they save the good boxed packaging for customers they like, so if you are offered styrofoam then that means you didn't make the list lol. The way we were stared at the entire time and rudely handed the receipt to sign after our purchase made the entire visit an uncomfortable vibe and as if we were being a bother. And just for future reference, yes please offer your customers a bag to carry multiple items they purchased, thanks. If you decide to stop in though, the white chocolate mousse was pretty tasty lol (that's what the one star is for, otherwise, it would be a zero for me).
