This is a standout local chocolate shop with a near-perfect rating across hundreds of reviews, and the tasting experiences seem to be the real draw. Staff members like Melissa, Danielle, and Dave come up repeatedly, praised for being knowledgeable, funny, and genuinely passionate about what they do. The chocolate and wine pairing and hot chocolate tastings are clear crowd favorites, with guests learning about the sourcing and production process along the way. Beyond the tastings, the shop itself is worth a stop for truffles, artisan chocolate bars, and specialty drinks like the Thai iced tea hot chocolate. Prices are reasonable, the atmosphere is calm and welcoming, and the selection spans single-origin bars from multiple countries. Several reviewers mention returning multiple times a year, which says a lot about the consistency here.
Absolutely incredible experience. Had a hot chocolate tasting and the people working there are very friendly and passionate about their chocolate. I got to learn a lot amd taste some lovely chocolate beverages made in a variety of ways!
