I picked up two slices of cake and two cookies for my wife and I to enjoy on Valentine's Day and was not disappointed. They were incredibly moist, flavorful and exquisitely balanced. I will definitely be visiting River City Chocolate again.Parking: Plenty of spots available, parking is easy.Wheelchair accessibility: Yes

I recently worked with River City Chocolate to create a dessert option for a work event. Ed Conroy was a dream to work with. From tastings, to creating customized lettering to represent the event, to regular check-ins to make sure all the details were perfect- it was more (and better) than I expected going in. There were constant questions from guests asking where the treats came from and we were more than happy to tell everyone "River City Chocolate, right here in Chesterfield!" I highly recommend working with them for events, or just popping in a for a slice of cake. You won't be disappointed. In fact, you'll go back again and again!

We were greeted by a frantic but super friendly and knowledgeable member of staff. She was so passionate about all the items we asked about and you can tell they love what they do because the sweet treats were absolutely delicious. A must try if your in the area.
First time at RCC and it won't be the last! The owner was so helpful. We bought an assortment of cake,cheesecakes and other hand held sweets. We had 9 for dinner and each one had their own favorite. If you are looking for unique treats, try this place out. Also, it's a local small business.

I am rarely at a loss for words when it comes to food but OH MY GOSH...!! All I can say is simply amazing!!!Thank you for sharing the love of cake with us here in Chesterfield :) from the friendly service to the unbelievably delicious dessert, you've definitely got a new regular customer!
They had the BEST pumpkin cheesecake I’ve ever tried. We did a cheesecake war with 3 other places, and River City Chocolate was by far the favorite. The best flavor, texture, and service!

Absolutely incredible taste, amazing variety of selections, and a lovely woman baking and manning the counter. I narrowed myself down to three different cake slices but it was a tough choice! The strawberry cake was the best cake I’ve had in a long time and only slightly edged out the lemon and the cannoli inspired cake. I’m excited to go back and try more, in particular the coffee cake looked amazing and I need to try it soon!Dietary restrictions: They had gluten free options.
River City Chocolate is a great local business. When going there, you are going to wonder if you are in the right place as it's nestled in a more industrial building (they used to be a production kitchen exclusively for restaurant sales instead of retail). However, keep going, and you will find some of the tastiest treats. We met Joe - the baker - who is a wonderful person that we chatted with for a while and learned about the business, her career, and the items that she makes. You can tell she is passionate about the quality and ingredients. We decided to get 4 items to split, although we could have tried everything in the case because it looked that good. We had a slice of lemon decadence cake, strawberry crunch cake (tasted exactly like the old school ice cream bars), chocolate cheesecake bar, and the maximum cookie sandwich. All items are large portions enough to share between 2 people, and all are just the right balance and not sickeningly sweet. I usually am not a big fan of cake, but I loved both slices we got (please excuse the hole in the pink section of the strawberry one in my picture as I had a birthday candle in there - Joe would never sell anything with holes in it!). Definitely stop in and get some treats. You can also go on the website to reserve items or order ahead, full-size goodies.Parking: There's plenty of parking in front of the store.

Ed is amazing! He catered the desserts for our wedding and was incredibly helpful and friendly throughout the entire process. And the guests loved the desserts! Our venue threw our wedding cake away so we plan to start a new tradition of getting a new cake each year on our anniversary because it was that good!10/10 recommend!

I went back because I had to try the lemon cake and boy oh boy it did not disappoint. River City has some of the moistest cakes and it was so flavorful...just melts in your mouth

Great place to visit. Especially if you Love treats and eats!!!!

The very definition of a Hidden Gem. You know you have a high quality dessert when you eat very slowly and enjoy the taste, the texture, the look and even the smell of the dessert. When you finally finish, you feel completely satisfied with every part of your life in that moment in time. The owners are extremely friendly and knowledgeable. Their description of each of the desserts is like a gentle seduction to their culinary masterpieces.
