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.

“Small shop specializing in chocolate drinks but also carrying a pretty standard fair of pastries.”

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.

“It has become one of my favorite spots in Chicago..”

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.

“The chocolate is so good and high quality!Came here for a food tour.”

The chocolate is so good and high quality!Came here for a food tour. We got the drinking chocolate and two types of dark chocolate bars. The drinking chocolate was absolutely rich and indulgent, and the two different cocoas had distinctly unique, tasty flavors. You can see what the notes are on the labels, or try and guess what they are first! The seating seems nice too.

Came inside on a cold windy night for some hot drinks and a dessert, and it hit the spot perfectly. I got a great recommendation for an herbal tea with mint chamomile and rose petals, and my son got a hot chocolate wish it was rich and delicious….and the freshly baked warm homemade chocolate chip cookies were divine.
