Stumbled across this cozy place, walking around River North with a friend. The staff was friendly and helpful. Smooth and creamy hot chocolate. Great sit-down place for some great convo, and definitely will try the pastry and dessert next time.

Their hot dark chocolate is truly exceptional, with a rich flavor that isn't overly sweet. The shop is adorned with Christmas decorations in December and has a very cozy ambience with plenty of seatings available.

The chocolate is expensive but delicious. They had lots of varieties to try from and taste the difference in cocoa beans. Also, wonderful treats were available. We went back a second time to get more for gifts!

Here’s what you need to know: wow! Just wow! Chocolate heaven, with super high quality beverages and desserts. This is serious chocolate crafting. Yes, it’s expensive but an indulgent treat. Hot chocolate (dark) may be the best in the city. I tried the mocha too with 2 espresso shots and that was enjoyable but the hot chocolate was better.
Service was nice and friendly, but nothing memorable.
Ambiance is SO CHARMING. Limited seating but it wasn’t super crowded on St Patty green River day.
Overall, even though it was $45 for 3 persons for hot chocolate and a couple small desserts (macarons and pastry) it was a “worth it” indulgence.

Nice place to have a coffee and try new pastries, they are really delicious, and also you can find gluten-free options.

Recommend: their signature hot chocolate was good, the place is really nice inside, the service was good, the lemon cake was was as good as it looked unfortunately - would skip on it.
The hot chocolate was good but it is a bit pricey for 1 small cup, a few other places around Chicago make as good or even better double amount for similar price, but then again this is basically downtown of the city. If in the area and want great hot chocolate it will be hard to beat this place, but I would not make a special trip or go out of my way to come here, especially with other places north west.

Get drunk on all things chocolate here!! Reminded me of my day’s at the Harvard Square location but this location is more chill, bright and with a cafe style ambiance. Great customer service. Definitely try more than 1 cake at a time. With the reasonable price for each slice, try a variety of different cakes for an exquisite experience.

I'm sold. Walked by this place on my way to another destination and turned around to get a coffee. So glad I did! The staff was exceptional, the Latte and Engadiner Nusstorte were delicious! Got a Lintzer Torte for later. Evidently they are renowned for their chocolate. Have to save that for another trip. Thanks again to a phenomenal staff and manager for making my visit so great!

Hidden gem on State street. Felt like I was transported to a coffee shop in Paris. The interior is adorable. I would recommend getting your coffee and sweets to dine in for the full experience. Try to sit by the windows in the back. Very kind staff. Delicious caramel latte and the best is the raspberry chocolate cookie.

Easily one of the best hot chocolate drinks I've ever had. Exceedingly indulgent and delicious. We also picked up one of the Bolivia chocolate bars and it's just as good! Tho expensive it was worth every penny. Looking forward to going back for more.

Just a lovely piece of Europe!
It was not easy to choose which dessert to try first.
I would definitely get back to try them all!
Pretty good americano for a Not coffee shop.

This is a must visit place. The chocolate was extraordinarily good, the pastries were just delicious: ordered chocolate and orange cake and the lemon cheesecake with a herbal tea. The server that assisted us was so kind, polite and knowledgeable. We also tried some of the chocolates and they were amazing. Mint and raspberry ones! You will never forget this place

Best hot chocolate in Chicago. They serve all the three kinds - dark, milk and white hot chocolate.

Went for coffee and a quick bite and the place was amazing. I got a white hot chocolate with oat milk which was amazing along with the coconut pastry. The location is super cute too and is adjacent to very cute ornaments shop right in the middle of downtown. Can’t wait to try thr chocolates too

Mamma Mia! The Hot Chocolate and cookies 🍪 here were the best in town! Our experience here was splendid from the moment we walked in the attendants on duty were both helpful and attentive to our needs, coupled with a superior product made it a great way to end our evening!

This place is really aesthetic if you want to take pictures ! (Mirrors on the wall, patio with a lot of green, ...)
I ordered the hot chocolate with soy milk. It literally tastes like melted chocolate and it was a little bit too thick for me, not easy to drink...
The cookies are really good!
