The only hard part at this cozy confectionary is choosing what you want to order. We recommend the Liquid Truffle Drinking Chocolate , but don't gulp it down— this stuff is for sippin’, folks. Read more

I'm a sucker for artisanal chocolates in varying, unique flavor combinations. Oh, and coffee . Super cozy , yet trendy space with a nice upstairs and great staff .

Hannah Bingham

Great mix of classic desserts and unique options (I got ice cream , husband got a hard cider float). Go early in the afternoon to avoid the lines ! Even on a Thursday evening the line was out the door.

Christopher M

If there's a line you can go down the street to the other door to get truffles , ice cream , and brownies to go without the wait. If you've never had a liquid truffle ... STAY in the line !

Jessica Holmes

Over the years, I have tried everything on this menu. I can assure you anything you order will knock your socks off! But personally, my favorite item is the chocolate crème brulee .

Amy Boehman-Pollitt

The flourless chocolate torte was to die for when paired with the strawberry sauce . Also, the milk chocolate liquid truffle was AMAZING! Worth the wait

Kaitlin

Liquid truffle - you have to try it. Unlike any other kind of chocolate I've had, so perfect. But literally everything is out of this world fantastic. Line wrapped around the block? Worth it.

Brandon Roberts

Drip coffee gets overlooked these days. Theirs was great, or you can get a cappuccino instead. I had a shortbread , a nice semi-sweet treat.

Jeff Bowen

Pretty much everything is good especially the house-made ice cream , liquid truffles , and the refreshing, cold sipping chocolate (pictured).

Travis Bagley

They actually make the chocolate from bean to end product so you know this place is serious about their chocolate . I'd recommend the mocha . You can't do better if you are a coffee lover.

Great chocolate and dessert selection! Get the buddha chocolate ice cream (dairy-free) ☺️. Line can be long, though.

Chris Hall

Hot drinking dark chocolate liquid truffle , chocolate crème brûlée , a few truffles and a Chai Latte . Unique experience, I would definitely add into my Groundhog Day!

The Fabulous Ellen G

I love the idea of this place. I am all about organic . My first time I got the Buddah hot chocolate since I'm off dairy. Honestly I didn't love it and after three drinks did not finish it.

Angel Sanchez

Carrot cake was to die for, best vanilla milkshake I have ever had! Dark chocolate liquid truffle was out of this world! Amazing place, so glad we stopped!!!! Extra seating up stairs as well !

Kara Mundy

I had the chocolate cake , a maple and smoked salt truffle , and a french macaron . All three delicious, but the actual cookie part of the macaron was hollow.

Stacie Sexton

The french press is some of the best I've ever had. If you're looking for something sweet and different, try their homemade soda with rose and hibiscus syrup . You won't regret it.

Ben Wooten

Best coffee experience I've had so far in Asheville. Delicious cappuccino and truffles . Try the liquid chocolate !

Djaniella D.

Dark chocolate liquid truffle & chocolate crème brûlée is heaven.

Amol Utrankar

A little pricey , but every dessert is as delicious as the next. A must-visit in downtown Asheville.

Kyle Bye

Omg! The dark chocolate liquid truffle and the chocolate creme brûlée are unbelievably tasty.

Drew Thompson

Chocolate Creme Brûlée is outstanding! Worth the drive or even flight if you don't live close by!

Sarah G.

Everything is delicious. Upstairs seating is the perfect place to camp out with a good book or a laptop (free wifi !) on a rainy afternoon.

Best salted hot chocolate I've ever tasted. If you want a little privacy with chill music , find a spot upstairs and enjoy your sweet treat ! :)

Adam Bregenzer

Dip a chocolate covered ginger cookie into a mocha , or even better a blend of salted maple hot chocolate with a mocha with marshmallows and you just may see god! :)

Sonia L.

Get the maple drinking chocolate (with dark and milk chocolates , butter, and smoked salt). Yum.

Robert Doreauk

Chocolate !...Enough said! Well , maybe not....the Liquid Truffle with Maple , Salted Carmel Hot Chocolate & Carrot Cake are awesome!! But....what in here isn't...

Annita

Chocolate lovers heaven! Multiple cakes to choose from. I chose the quintessential chocolate cake which was moist and delicious. I also wanted to try the cold sipping chocolate but I was concerned it

Jillian Sprenger

Come with a friend, get a large cafe au lait to share, the carrot cake , and a few truffles to share. This is the way to do this place right!

Rachel L

Line moves very fast. Try the olive oil cake and sipping chocolate

Hotel Indigo

Sink into the oversized leather couches , surrounded by local art and ambience, and spend the afternoon lazily sipping on their signature hot chocolates .

Katie Kaye

Heavenly ice cream , mothers day latte everyone is so nice and helpful. Oh the triple trifle was amazing.

John Kraft

Often a line out the door, so if there's not, take advantage. Also, if line IS long, go next door to the connected, smaller version with limited offerings of most popular items, but less wait.

Gisele Sanches

Milk Chocolate Liquid truffle is awesome!!!! Warm, creamy and perfect size!

Horizons1

If you could put Amazement In a Box You would Find this Place... Everything Is Good, Fresh and taste Amazing.

Mariana Jensen

Dipped ginger snap cookie is yummy and the liquid chocolate ganache with lavender is a great closer of a night of fun!

Hallie Gammon

Plenty of gluten free options , including cheesecake with cocoa nib crust! Definitely try the sipping chocolate , hot or cold.

Donna White

If you walk in and it is packed don't dismay, lots of seating upstairs -- two rooms!

Leah Denise Wyatt

If traveling from out of town , get a box of at least 12 to take a piece of heaven home with you! It is so divine! I brought a box of the budda line home with me. I have 12 days love on chocolate .

Heather Spraggins

Get the Mudwrestler! If you like beer and chocolate its a must.

Tim Snyder

Have a hot chocolate ! The milk chocolate is super creamy and wonderful.

Mark Simmons

Try their truffles and coffee . The half an half is made from the most sustainable cows in the country !

Chris Kea

This is the best local coffee shop i've been in. Great home made desserts , truffles and french press coffee .

Insite Brazos Valley

The gluten free macaroons are to die for and they have three other gf desserts plus chocolates .

KC Jones

Crazy busy on this Saturday night, but still managed to snag a table after about 20 minutes in line . Tasty treats and good drinks.

Ronda Collins

Truffles , coffee , ice cream , chocolate dipped ginger cookie , cheesecake .

David Berkowitz

Try the Liquid Truffle - With maple sea salt ganache - hot #chocolate done wonderfully right

Joseph Rooks

The sipping chocolate here is so rich that it's like drinking gold. Amazing.
