We were in Wisconsin for the weekend and on our way back home I saw this delightful shop and imma…read moresucker for chocolate. Figured they must have hit chocolate. 1. Upon walking in you immediately know you're going to love the place. It's so cute and cozy. There is indoor and outdoor seating, cute decor, and chocolate galore. 2. I ordered the drinkable hot chocolate. It was good, although a little thick. I would have wanted a bit of almond milk to thin it a bit but I loved how rich it was. My daughter also got the kids chocolate frappe (I think that's what it was called) she loved it! 3. We received one free truffle each since it our first time there. We ordered the mint, vanilla bean, and turtle truffles. I also ordered the sea salt caramel truffle and my daughter got a gaming boy stick chocolate. So cool. 4. We also tried their cookies so tasty! 5. The lady working was sooooo sweet. Omg, she truly was. I'm so sorry I didn't get her name but she made us feel welcome (almost everyone in Wisconsin made us feel that way) and she was no different. What a pleasant experience as we headed back home. Highly recommend that you drop in when you are in the Madison area!

I got a coconut cream pie latte, one of their summer specials. It was a bit on the pricier side…read more(over $8 for a 16oz not including tip), but entirely WORTH IT! This is the best latte I've had this year--perfect if you like coconut cream cold brews but prefer something a little sweeter than a cold brew, like me. It's got coconut cold foam on top and was also topped with toasted coconut and what seemed like pie crumbs? So delicious It wasn't very busy in there and I got my drink super fast, the barista even walked it out to the table I was waiting at. Highlyyyy recommend this place for coffee!

I'm obsessed with chocolate! @cocovaa has been on my must-try list forever, and I finally made it there just in time before their summer break. When I arrived, most of the treats were sold out, but I got to sample everything that was left. And wow, the chocolates were pure magic, and the exceptional service from the owner and her son made it even sweeter. Here are the flavors I tried: Coffee Creme Brulee - Caramelized sugar on top of coffee & vanilla bean white chocolate ganache, encased in white chocolate. Persian Saffron - Persian saffron-infused white chocolate ganache, encased in dark chocolate. Hazelnut Praline - Milk chocolate & hazelnut praline blended with crispy croquant, encased in dark chocolate. Lemongrass Pear Frangipane - Lemongrass & pear purees encased in dark chocolate with an almond chocolate bottom. Blueberry, Lemon & Lavender - Lemon caramel on top of blueberry and lavender-infused ganache, encased in dark chocolate. Turkish Coffee - Coffee and cardamom-infused single-origin Venezuelan dark chocolate ganache, encased in dark chocolate. Key Lime Pie - Key lime caramel on top with a cookie crunch bottom. Every bite was a delight. Can't wait to go back for more!

The owner and her son operate the business, and she spent a couple of minutes chatting with me. There were few people seated enjoying tea or coffee with their chocolates and pastries made on site, as well as another with wine and chocolates. I couldn't wait to get home to tear into my box of chocolates! A few of my favorites included the Blueberry, Lemon, Lavendar, the Calamansi Caramel, Cherry Blossom, and Persian Saffron! I will definitely return!

Today I sampled: Sugar N' Spice Pecans= sweet with a crunchy topping. Not so sweet your teeth hurt. (Same flavor with walnuts- either delicious with a cocktail, perhaps we could pair with a good beer, or a savory dish involving southern greens to go with the southern nuts) Bodacious Bourbon Walnuts: Ultimate favorite. Melt in your mouth, bourbon flavor you can taste with brown sugar lingering on your tongue. I might trade a limb for a bag of these. ( They also have the same flavor with Pecans, but I love the walnuts all the way.) Rumor has it Lala's has some new savory nuts on the way. I'll be the first in line. Move over squirrels. These nuts are mine.

Recent favorites are the chocolate pistachio bars and the scotcharoos. So decadently delicious. My only complaint is that it seems as though loyalty points take a long time to pay off; I feel that points earned per $ spent aren't quite proportional. Regardless, I've never found their equal in the gluten free department and I love that theirs are treats I can feel (mostly) good about indulging in!

They also have a window where you can see the chocolate factory! They offered free samples of a jelly filled chocolate, which was tasty! The quality of the chocolate is very high and worth the price, in my opinion. I asked the employee for her recommendations and she was very helpful with that, as well as with explaining what some of the flavors were. There is also a list on the wall that explains their flavors in detail, and that list comes with each box as well. I opted for the machu picchu which is a year round flavor and the blood orange caramel, which is seasonal. These chocolates are just so tasty and I really recommend this place for a quick chocolate fix, and they'd also make great gifts!
