While visiting we came across this little coffee/chocolate shop. What a great find. My wife and I each enjoyed a wonderful cup of coffee as well as several sample sizes of different chocolate sweets. Our daughter had a wonderful milk shake that she said was delicious. The coffee was wonderful and full of flavor. I sampled some of the dark chocolate blend flavors to include the pepper, mint and per the suggested of the girl at the counter the orange. All of them were amazing and flavorful. The shop has a welcoming feel with several places to sit and relax and the staff was very friendly and welcoming. They were also very willing to take the time to answer questions and make suggestions based on your likes. All of this made for a great overall experience.

As a self-proclaimed chocoholic this little shop hit the spot in so many ways!!! It is few and far between when you can find a place that has sipping hot chocolate reminiscent of the Mexican preparation, less sweet and spicy with the chilies, warming you inside and out. The dark chocolate covered thick cut bacon was perfection in every way. Although we didn't get to try it all, there is something for everyone including house made ice creams. Stop by when you need that boost for long day museums and shopping, you won't be disappointed.

Amazing hot chocolate and truffles! Ordered the Jeffersonian and it was incredible! Staff was helpful and the chili chocolate square, I would've eaten ten of if I could!

One of the most memorable experiences of my life! I have always wanted to try sipping chocolate! The staff were amazing, I can’t stress that enough! Must try is the ginger dipped chocolate, and the Salem brew! On my three day trip, I visited twice! I wish I had one by my house and I will be back! Thank you !

This is the cutest shop!! Empty when we got there, but it was packed later on. I got the red chili caramel chocolate, and for a first try I was pleasantly surprised :). It came in little dishes which were a nice touch. THE BROWNIES UGH I'm still thinking about them. You must try the sea salt one, and you can ask them to microwave it for a gooey texture . (I recommend the microwaving) Definitely 5 stars

My wife, my family, and I visited here to taste different types of hot chocolate. What we didn’t know is that we would also be receiving some of the best service I can remember. First off the staff was incredible, one of the best businesses I have ever been in. My wife called ahead and Kelsey was patient and communicative with the selections of hot chocolates and the process of tasting and ordering them. She later blessed us with a serving of her cake. My mom gobbled it up. It was delicious and obvious that her 12 years of culinary training are panning out! The cashier working the front provided us with an explanation of all 8 of the hot chocolates they were serving that night (the peppermint was the crowd pleaser). We were able to try a sample before enjoying a larger size. She was helpful in providing us waters, and patiently serving several samples while making sure we were all comfortable. Another one of the employees upon seeing my wife taking a picture graciously offered to take a picture with all of us in it. The hot chocolate itself was some of the best we have ever had. We now understand why they probably fought wars over this stuff (don’t fact check me). HIGHLY recommend for anyone in Salem and worth the trip to drive just to go here. THANK YOU TO THE WHOLE TEAM!

Amazing! Sample the drinks before you buy it you're not a risk taker, but I personally LOVED the chili chocolate elixir. My partner got a mocha and a chocolate torte, which were also amazing. Perfect, rich, and not too sweet
