The chocolate here is amazing! I recommend the mint and coconut truffles. They have other things too like cotton candy and gummies.

I purchased a mint, lemon, and raspberry truffle! They have milk, white, and dark chocolate options which is fantastic! Delicious and so creamy!

Everything about this place is amazing! The music, the chocolate, the atmosphere and the customer service! Everyone was super helpful and welcoming! I had the S’more and Dipped Almond Cluster! The best! Definitely coming back!

Good thing their truffles are better than their customer service. 3 employees in the store, not one of them lifted their head to say hello. One even came up to the counter to announce she was going on break. After a few more minutes someone finally helped me. They need to be taught some customer service skills here.

Dont waste your time! Poor management trickles down to the workers. Also the Chocolates are below average!!

Visiting from out of town, we decided to stop by to see what they had after we ate dinner. Bought two different chocolates. Got back to the hotel and tried the toffee pretzel. It was absolutely stale and I had to throw it away. Business needs to check quality and freshness of ingredients. Waste of my money.

Got here and the line was already forming out the door...little did I know that was because the girl opening was late. She then looked annoyed as she opened the doors and we started walking in. Horrible customer service...followed by even worse chocolate. 1 star because 0 isnt allowed.So I decided to do a little edit on my review since I can not respond to the owners comment below.There was only one employee at this store when I was there. She didnt open the doors until after 12 when you are supposed to be open. She didnt look frazzled to me at all except for the fact that she was clearly running late and didnt even turn the lights on before letting us in your store. Although I understand why you are trying to do damage control on your business I was actually there and you were not. I am sorry your reply doesnt change my mind.

I really wanted to like this place because I heard such great things about it but while in the store yesterday for the first time I witnessed an employee (i believe her name was Lauren) completely mistreat a delivery girl. It was disgusting how she treated her and I cant support this business and wont be back because of it.

This place is absolutely amazing! The drinks are phenomenal, I especially enjoy the Chai Tea Latte. The chocolates are reasonably priced and so delicious. There are also so many options to choose from. The service is great everyone is very friendly! Love getting a drink and taking a walk on the beach.

My first visit very much exceeded my expectations. There are so many decadent flavors of truffles; each one in your choice of dark, milk or white chocolate. Both my Valentine gifts were boxed beautifully and the the staff could not have been more patient oraccommodating. I would definitely recommend this shop to anyone who is, or knows, a lover of fine chocolate.

Chocolate is to die for. I love all of their truffles! Super smooth and creamy. The staff there is awesome! Love the owners and how friendly they are to each person who comes through the doors. My favorite thing is the Mexican hot chocolate and the caramel truffle. Definitely stop in when you get a chance! Worth every penny!!! 😍👅

Did someone say Chocolate? This place is a sweet-tooth paradise. All kinds of interesting sweets ranging from old time favorites to rich and decadent desserts. Prices are a little higher than other candy/sweet shops but the quality is awesome.

Review №28

The chocolate and coffee is pretty good but the prices are pretty high. They have a wide variety of truffles (in addition to other chocolate options) but the truffles seemed a little hard. The customer service was great, though!

Review №29

We live locally and have been in many times, mostly because of the great location and the charming open feel of the place. Its expensive, and thats okay if the quality is there. Their chocolates are good and its hard to mess up tea, but their coffee is abysmal. Ive had their cappuccinos and drip coffee several times, and it is consistently awful. Most coffee shops pride themselves on how good and fresh their coffee is but not these people. Get your cup elsewhere, otherwise its just ok. Sorry but its true.

Apparently they are closed, undergoing renovations. Nothing about that on their website, had to go in person to find out.

Review №31

One of the best White mochas (with an extra shot) Ive had in awhile. Definitely has that coffee with a hint of the flavor taste instead of the over sweat stuff everywhere else. All the Baristas are nice and friendly!The shop has a great selection of candies to choose from! Only downside to this place is the seating is minimal. If there was a few more seats for when its busy this would be a nice place to relax.This location is on State Street with tons of other stuff in walking distance.

Review №32

Huge selection of chocolates and candies, as well as a beverage bar with coffee, hot chocolate, tea, etc. The chocolate I had was really good, and the staff was friendly and helpful. I do wish they had a better area for enjoying the candy and beverages they sell there, though. When I was there, it was just a couple tables with chairs off to the side.

Review №34

Prepare yourself, because you will spend money here. They have a very nice selection of chocolates, candy, and other goodies. Every time we go there we do not leave empty handed, there is something for everyone. But be careful all those goodies and chocolates add up ($).

I read so much about this place when planning our getaway that I had it as a surprise for my wife, she loves chocolate... what a disappointment, place is less than what you see in the pictures. They have a variety of flavor filled chocolates, so we were looking behind the do not touch glass, an attendant behind it asked us politely are you ready? Once, then twice then it got a little annoying, there was no one else in the line; so we started picking two of these, two of those, after the third pair she asks is that it for you?, I said no, I asked for another one, and again she said is that it for you? The lady was in a rush, so finally we come to pay and we order coffee, a capuchino and a latte, we did not like either one. After tasting the different types of chocolate, most are way too sweet, the filling flavor takes over the chocolate 100%, except for the truffles, those we did love.

Lovely little chocolate, wine & coffee shop at the corner of State Street & Carlsbad Village Drive. Their toasted almond mocha is a new fall favorite; get it iced on a hot fall day like today! Staff is attentive, friendly & fast!

Delicious, but highly annoyed they fully refuse to even try mobile payment. Coming from the beach I only had my phone, a Galaxy S7 with mobile pay that works with all credit card terminals, and they refused to let me pay or even try because its against their policy?

I bought one of their chunks of Fudge on the counter and it was awful. It was hard and chewy, tasted old and had more the texture of Taffy than fudge. Very disappointing.

Review №61

I am friends with one of the workers here, and they confirmed what I already suspected: the chocolate bar makes a very limited number of their products themselves, they for example by Oreos from the grocery store and dip them and grocery store bought white chocolate. Their Taffy is from the grocery store as with 90% of their bulk candy.

Disappointed. The candy I purchased from the counter selection didnt taste fresh. The pretzel covered in chocolate with some sort of candy coating was limp inside. The lattes we ordered were luke warm, lacking in foam and really, awful quality coffee.We also purchased a piece of carrot cake which couldve come from Costco is was so blah.No value for the money spent!

For the first time in my life I felt worst then a second class citizen! Walk in no one Knowledged me or my wife. Look around and waited for some one to ask us if we were ready. One of the girls saw us and she decide to walk around and then went to her coworker and went to the back as my wife and I were waiting for service. Some else came inside the store and the cashier decide to help the other customer verse us when she knew we were there before the new customer that walk in. When the employee came over to us she said “oh I’m sorry I forgot about you guys” I wanted to scream at the top of my longs but I keep my composure . My wife wanted to buy more items from this place but at the end we only walk away wt a few items. I felt like my money is worth less then any ones else money in there. NEVER AGAIN WILL I SHOP THERE. EVEN IF IT IS THE LAST CHOCOLATE STIRE IN THE WORLD.
