“Great coffee and nice atmosphere for a Saturday early afternoon coffee ☕️”
“Whenever I am on vacation I look for a pain au chocolat and a good cup of coffee. I found a double chocolate croissant and Mexican sipping chocolate. I haven’t found a place that does sipping chocolate since 2022. If you’ve never had sipping chocolate, it’s exactly as it sounds. Chocolate you can sip. It’s decadent with a luscious mouthfeel. I got the Mexican chocolate with has cayenne and cinnamon added to it. Definitely the right move. The croissant was light, fluffy and buttery. And so chocolatey. Everything was delicious, but I’ve never had such a rich breakfast in my life. If you like coffee, chocolate and croissants, you have to go here.”
“I stopped in here after a run and got a mocha and it was absolutely delicious, and came out very fast! The staff was friendly but I think they may have been a little short staffed as some of the tables hadn’t been cleaned yet, but besides that was wonderful and people were kind!”
“Coffee was great and Parisienne hot chocolate was smooth without being too sweet or overpowering. Could’ve had more which isn’t often the case with hot chocolate. Kind staff. Looking forward to trying every flavor”
“This place was totally worth the drive. Small shop, but it smells amazing the second you walk in, coffee, chocolate, pastries, all of it, they had it all. The staff were super nice, just good vibes all around. I was craving hot chocolate and this spot really delivered. I got La Parisienne, a hot chocolate that was dark, a little bitter, smooth, and rich… exactly how I like it. That mix of flavors just hits right. The whipped cream with a dust of cocoa powder on top was the perfect finish. Also grabbed an almond croissant, and man, that was a good move. Flaky, buttery, with that nutty flavor that just goes so well with the hot chocolate. Dipping it in? Yeah, that’s the way to do it. Everything together made it feel like one of those slow, perfect mornings you don’t want to rush.”
“Awesome place. I loved the chocolate chip cookie and the hot chocolate. I preferred the Parisian hot chocolate instead of the classic it was less bitter. I got to put up a flyer for my new book also!”
“Small shop specializing in chocolate drinks but also carrying a pretty standard fair of pastries. Everything we got was pretty good, staff were kind, and the shop also has a good selection of specialty chocolate bars on offer.”
“We stopped in when visiting farmers market and everything was beyond my expectations! Frozen chocolate became my favorite and I can’t wait to go back”
“It’s hard to find a shop with the coolest chocolate options with coffee too!🥹 and the owner is the sweetest lady in the world! It is an oasis… def will come back to this gem soon💎💎💎”
“It has become one of my favorite spots in Chicago..! Many interesting chocolate selections with great chocolate drinks. The staff is a great baker. ✨🍫🍪Chocolate chip cookie was a MUST. It amazed me sooooo much. Soft chewy center with crunchy edges. The taste had layers of depth, they told me it was a 4-chocolate mix. 🍫❤️🔥❤️🔥European hot chocolate was a kisssssss from the sweetness. Please have it with their housemade whipped cream! The hot chocolate with chill cream on the top was a beautiful combination. 💛🧡🤎Bonbon was a great option if u just want a bite. Olive oil & lemon one was good for sure.”
