These folks make the best (the absolute best) chocolates I have ever had… and I am a chocolate connoisseur. Not only is the flavor unmatched, but some of their designs are perfection. The macarons are also top tier by a landslide. Friendly staff, adorable little shop, great small business. I absolutely need to stop back more often.

What a delightful store. You will find high-quality chocolate and outstanding customer service. I was buying for my chocolate loving but nut-intolerant wife and the owner and counter help treated me as if I were the only person there. They were patient and totally helpful. There's a small sitting area if you want to sip coffee or hot chocolate. I imagine it can get crowded, but it still adds to the ambiance.

Amazing chocolate shop! They carry Neuhaus, a Belgian chocolatier and one of my favorite brands of chocolate. The in-house chocolates are very good as well and there's a huge variety to choose from.The owner is so kind and friendly and has usually been there the few times we've gone in and we really enjoy chatting with him! Love having this place in the neighborhood.

Friendly neighborhood service and excellent quality pastries. The owner gave an overview of his Belgian chocolates and the kids loved the gelato.

Stepping into this unassuming shop we were struck by the obvious pride the owner Mr. Petros has in his coffees and chocolates. It's absolutely warranted. The lavender latte is divine, as are the frisson (dark chocolate balanced perfectly with a light citrus nougat) and violet chocolates. We will certainly be back, probably for Christmas present shopping!

Had the Passion Fruit Brazilian Sweet, Tiramisu cake, and Tiramisu dark chocolate truffle. Loved it

Please updates your business hours. We came here for a slice of cake for a friend's Bday and you were closed.

Great chocolate (what I’ve eaten so far) and a really nice man working the counter.
We had the loveliest experience this afternoon. The owner was so gracious and pleasant - he was like a breath of fresh air! The gelato and affogato were delicious. I will absolutely return to this wonderful establishment. I highly recommend you try Dolce and Bean!

Petros may be the most wonderful person I have ever met. The treats are great, and I couldn't recommend it more!

Coffee and chocolates are amazing! The owner is so sweet and friendly. Please support this local business! It's so rare to see hospitality like this with amazing service and delicious lattes

Stopped in to get something sweet. Majority of the sweets were sold out, I came in around 4pm so it's understandable. They did have a variety of chocolates and I got about 8 different ones. For being Belgian chocolates I thought the quality wasn't all that great. Chocolate that was filled in the center was too thick and took away from the flavor inside. I didn't try the desserts and the owner was very friendly but I would give it 3 stars not 4.
