The place is not very large with few tables where you can eat inside and really not very comfortable. The desserts are really delicious, but with regard to the chocolate I was a little disappointed because I expected it to be much thicker and creamier,...Read More

Speaking as someone who has had legit French chocolate, these aren't bad. The macaroons are also okay (not great but reasonable). Minus one star for awkward separate point of sale machines for chocolate and pastries, resulting in 2 receipts instead of one. Also, the gentleman...Read More

Wonderful selection of the city's best chocolate pastries. As an indecisive taster, it was difficult to choose what I wanted as everything looked appetizing. Hard to settle on just few slices, but I decided to try their passion fruit mousse cake, chocolate raspberry cake, and...Read More

This dark chocolate mocha was so decadent and warming. It's quite small (for the small) but each sip will cozy you right up with the molten goodness. Came to sit down and write a couple emails on my laptop and it was very pleasant. I...Read More
