Buena atención, un poco lento y falta originalidad, más iluminación y mejorar el menú y presentación del chocolate ...falta más oferta de tortas y entremeses, cakes. Más variedad.
Bueno....

I wish I knew about this before all my troubles began. Chocolate is my bag, baby. So as soon as I learned of this place, I entered the dragon.

Customer service was friendly, while giving me space. They offered help, and I’m glad I accepted because she pointed out options that I hadn’t noticed, but better served my purposes.

Options abound for chocolate products and house-made beverages.
Hot chocolate is the best in the world.
All my troubles are melting away.

Bathroom is clean.
Street parking.

If you choose to give a thumbs-up 👍🏽 or not, I hope you found my review helpful!

Super cute and local chocolate cafe with good drinks. No laptop rule on weekends, which is great. Love the range of chocolate they carry too.

Not only a great chocolate shop but a great coffee shop as well. This little boutique on College Ave had been flying beneath my radar until I stumbled in the other day.

The place has the fare one expects at a good coffee shop, a selection of coffee brews and espresso drinks along with pastries and other goodies. However their mocha is quite the delight, with a real dark chocolate taste to it - something that I love.

On top of the normal coffee drink menu, there are a number of more exotic chocolate drinks, a tasty thicker chocolate espresso drink or even thicker European style hot chocolate. For chocolate lovers these are a must.

The ambience is rather eclectic with fun decorations and even little dragon figurine sets, it definitely gives the feel of fun place to visit.

There is a huge variety of chocolates to choose from, some just shelves with a collection of chocolate bars from different providers, but also their own selection of chocolate as well.

The owner is a fascinating woman, and very interesting to talk to with a lot of background in the local chocolate industry.

The service of course was very good and the verse that was very friendly.

It’s the local Willy Wonka store. Some fun choices and candy bars. Cool workers. My only gripe is my usual Hot spicy chocolate drink price went way up and the cup size is a joke. It’s what the doctors give you to pee in. So after three good sips it’s all she wrote. I still like the vibe and I know stores need money. But the kid cup sizes are silly.

Always a great place to stop by on a late afternoon on Jan 1st after the famous Pegasus annual calendar sale!

It’s been years since I have been here, and it’s refreshing to see what I really like about them has not changed much… they still have the most amazing hot chocolate/mocha’s AND still have a wall of bar chocolate that is 2nd to none in terms of selection… and the Cinnamon Chocolate cake is a favorite as well… YUM!

The chocolate selection is UNMATCHED!! Tons of different brands and flavors sourced locally and globally. I'm a lover of milk chocolate but my partner is dairy-free and their dark chocolate selection is huge! They also have a bunch of different non-dairy type chocolates. I got six different chocolates and we had a chocolate tasting evening. Can't wait to come back and find more favorites and try their drink menu

Both the young man and young lady at the counter we’re so friendly and patient with my multitude of questions! They help me understand what the chocolate drink is and it actually turned out pretty fun! Really refreshing and nice seating outside on the sidewalk where it’s a bit cooler. They got chocolate from all over the place!
