Besides many confections offered here, you can also try their great variety of coffee drinks. Many of their products ingredients are sourced from Ecuador. CHOCO COFFEE: Their blend of “Choco Coffee,” isn’t named after chocolate coffee. Instead, it’s named after Ecuadorian, Choco Toucan bird. I bought, “Comunidad Blend,” to brew at home. I’ve already brewed couple of cups and OMG!!! It offers notes of Dark Chocolate, Pecans, Pink Grapefruit and Guava. As I’ve been sipping on it, its whole beans are washed, well balanced, offer rich and bold flavors. You can taste the home roots. PARKING: It can be tricky to get in here. It’s located off busy, S. Lumpkin Street. Parking is very limited as it shares it with five other businesses. There is additional parking nearby. RECOMMEND: Overall, this place is very unique. It offers something for everyone. They cater to kids and kids at heart… with a sweet tooth. Stop by or visit them online and see what all they have to offer. I highly recommend them and looking forward to continuing being their customer.

I ordered the Honey Chocolate truffles because so many people were raving about how delicious it was. So I ordered them and I was bit disappointed. In the first place it took them 9 days to ship out the order. I ordered them on November 22 and they didn't put it in the mail for delivery until December 1st. That is 9 day lag time. Not good. They can do better than that. The honey chocolate toffee was a little bit underwhelming. I didn't think that it came close to living up to its hype and praise that so many people were giving it. A little too brittle and crumbly for toffee and way too sweet for my taste. So I give them a rating of about a 3/ 2.5 on the Honey toffee chocolates and a rating of 2 for service for taking so long to deliver to the address here in Texas.

A great place to relax and have a coffee on the weekends. We like the taste of the coffee. It was fresh. The staff was also kind and helpful too. Thank you
