Escazu Chocolates

The chocolates looked great, I bought a good few. But despite nobody else in line, I was rushed through ordering and the employees frustration was on display. Small talk wasn't entertained and there was a sort of heightened stressful environment where customers (me anyway) were expected to show up knowing what they wanted and immediately order without conversation, pay, and leave. I also ordered a coffee which was not great but not too bad, but it was filled too full and the lid leaked.

We've been here twice so far. I learned about it through Safiya and Tyler on YouTube. I love that Escazu has a creative variety of flavors for each item they sell. According to my kids and myself, we really enjoyed some of their ice cream and different chocolate bars and confections.😋 The truffle boxes are fun to guess the flavors from. We all tasted each truffle. If you don't choose the flavors yourself when purchasing... Learned a little more about our likes and dislikes. I saw coffee bean options too. But we don't drink coffee. Hopefully someone else can give a good review on that. ❤️ PS... They have wonderful customer service repour. 😊

From Alabama to North Carolina; I saw their video with Safiya and immediately went online where they were sold out, I called to see if they had any in store since I would be (kinda) close by to drive over. The lady who answered was so incredibly sweet and helpful and sent me an invoice to go ahead and pay so I could guarantee some chocolate. I cannot remember her name but it was the nicest phonecall I've had with a business ever. I've gone a lot of miles for food and can confidently say the extra hour with traffic from over in Durham was more than worth the drive. I ordered two Safiya lavender vanilla chocolate bars and two of the almond black tea confections for sharing. The bar is delicious and if you like lavender at all you'll love this! I almost wish I had gotten more confections as I could eat an entire box ❤️ I also got their salted caramel confection which was the best caramel bite I've had, another confection that was like taking a bite out of a vanilla bean, and their house mocha size large- so decadent and almost like drinking a molten chocolate bar, could not ask for a better mocha and might come back just for it! I love that they make their own chocolate themselves and if you haven't seen the video with Safiya, they go through the whole process, it's amazing to see the work they put in to everything they make here! Amazing experience all around and definitely will be adding this stop to any trip nearby!!❤️
