We have been here several times, but usually purchase a few chocolates to go. This time we had the pleasure of eating in. First, the entire store is a walk through chocolate history and creations, with a Chocolate Tree in the center. The shop was featured on Food Network! We ordered a chocolate martini, brownie and iced pistachio latte. The chocolate martini was amazing. The martini was rich and creamy. We shared the brownie and it was so rich, we could not finish it. We ordered the iced pistachio latte as the refreshing conclusion to the chocolate feast. A delectable treat in Geneva. read more

6/1/2024 update. ACK has been one of my favorite places to meet friends for chat & treats since I moved back from California in 2011 This time I tried Tea Time with my lovely best friend - we are High-Tea lovers, and I am a bit of a snob about it. It was a pleasurable experience, perfect on a rainy Saturday spring day. The service was fantastic!! Starting with reservations, which was a "comedy of errors" to the moment we left. Esther's friendliness and attention to our comfort and taste elevated our experience. We started with the light, flakier tasty warm classic scones. Then we moved to the delicious, satisfying, variety of finger sandwiches - the traditional cucumber was perfectly refreshing to clean the palate before the sweet phase of our meal. In the mix there was a spinach-cheese tart which it would have been tastier served warm. I selected a violet dark tea which was lighter than I expected, perhaps it would have been stronger if would have let if brew a little longer. The assortments of pastries/sweets were delectable and mouth-watering - macaron, sponge cake, coconut chocolate drizzled macaroons, custard, and a truffle. All inviting, succulent, and scrumptious. I will be back! read more

I'd mainly stick to their Gelato here, amazing flavor to sample, beautifully arranged & displayed. I tried the almond flour chocolate horseshoe and it was very hard to bite into, so I dipped the horseshoe into my gelato to soften up to make the dessert more enjoyable to eat. The almond macaron was more toothsome! read more

Loved the displays! Great combination of art and science-- the tree is just ridiculous. Who would know it was chocolate?!? Cozy vibe and a chill place to have a cup of tea or coffee. Gorgeous selection of truffles. Glad I stopped in while visiting from out of town! read more

Probably just as much a museum of confectionary sculptures as it is a restaurant of delicious sweets, All Chocolate Kitchen is worth a visit to see Chef Roby's works of arts. These range from giant sculptures of things like dinosaurs, peacocks, and the moon. The most impressive item is probably the enchanted chocolate tree made of 1200 pounds of chocolate. The items they serve in store are also amazingly colorful and well decorated as well. You can find everything from macarons to truffles, cookies, croissants, brownies, dessert cups, and more! With an abundance of choice, there's always something new to try -- with an impressively large drink selection to go with this as well. Make sure to try their delicious grand cru hot chocolate which is intense without being overly sweet. Mix this with friendly service and large comfortable spaces to lounge around and you have an awesome place to enjoy high quality chocolate creations. read more

Lots of chocolate pastries, gelato, wine, coffee, crepes, paninis, and salad. There's not a ton of seating inside or outside, but they've got a small function room for private events. It's a cool spot to grab desserts & some eats while strolling around downtown Geneva. read more

This place is so dirty! Everything is dusty, floors look like they have not been swept in years. The carpets are all stained and the furniture is falling apart. There is a handwritten sign on the bathroom door that says you have to use a code on your receipt to use the bathroom with the exact words "no receipt - no bathroom"! Then you get into the bathroom, and it is dirty and falling apart. It doesn't seem like very good business and came across very rude. With the way that the restaurant looks in the guest areas, I can only imagine what the prep and kitchen area looks like. We both had a pistachio latte and it was good, however, we will not be going back due to the uncleanliness. Go to Grahams down the street where it smells wonderful because they are actually making fresh chocolate! read more

We were there today and what a disappointment! This is not authentic gelato, you can taste the fake flavors and the dyes. We will never go back. read more

This is heaven for chocolate lovers!!! My husband and I arrived early in Geneva to meet someone for dinner. We wanted to get a quick drink before dinner and didn't have very high expectations. I ordered the hot chocolate and my husband ordered a mocha coffee. The drinks were phenomenal. I was blown away. This was by far the best hot chocolate that I've ever had. It was rich and thicker than your typical hot chocolate. My husband's coffee was rich and had a bold coffee flavor. I can't wait to go back and try more chocolate creations. One note, although the drinks we had were fantastic, they were not cheap. Expect to pay premium prices for a premium experience. The interior of the All Chocolate Kitchen deserves it's own Yelp page. There were many huge chocolate statues, creations, and art pieces. Everywhere you look, your senses are engaged. You would probably have to spend several hours here to do justice to the decor. This is a feast for the eyes as much as for your stomach. The chef has been featured on the Food Network and holds several Guiness World Records. Go to All Chocolate Kitchen for the chocolate creations, stay and admire all of the art. read more

Walked in the only person standing anywhere near the pastries or counters. Two employees behind them. The bakery set up is so bad they can't see you nor talk to you. I'm talking and no one's responding. I'm standing by the cash register with a big wall, excuse me, and no one's responding. I actually just walked out and no one cared. Why would an establishment build a bunch of walls between the customers and the employees so you can't even see him or talk to him. Very very bad design. read more

I have not tried much except the gelato which is a must every time I visit Geneva. The interior is a wonder of large chocolate sculptures. The store was very clean despite being busy. The call for me is always the Lavender gelato and was sad they did not have the rose as well this time. The combo of the lavender with lemon is perfect. read more

All Chocolate Kitchen ironically is more than only actually chocolate. It also has coffee and gelato. Sure there's lots of chocolate too. Basically desserts are what they're best known for and the main thing to get here. The drinks and food seem kind of upscale but these aren't extremely pricey. Coffee is really good here. I got some the last time to warm up and was pleased with it. They have a fairly small but large enough coffee menu. A few things are kind of expensive but not too bad. The best so far is the Menta Verde. It's $4.85 for a regular. This is made with Roman mint and choice of milk, of which the have non dairy choices too. Lots of potential gifts here. They have bags of chocolates and chocolate covered things. Almonds are about $6 a bag. There's some nice looking stuff to choose from. Gelato is another treat you can get and better when it's not as cold. It has a few dairy free sorbets as well so whichever your preference you can get. There's a few comfortable chairs and couches, allowing you to drink and eat inside. read more

Amazing coffee, excellent chocolate, and plenty of comfortable seating! A solid choice for anyone with a sweet tooth! The staff are friendly and provide prompt service. Everything we ordered was top notch! We enjoyed our visit and we are looking forward to returning soon! read more

The interior is pretty fun here. They have gelato, brownies, pies, cookies, hot cocoa bombs, and of course chocolates. They also have a variety of coffee drinks. Service was friendly. We ordered a chocolate gelato, a banana cream pie, a pistachio latte, and a cappuccino. Pricing was on the higher end for the gelato (about $5 for a small scoop) and pie (almost $10). The gelato was pretty good, as was the cream pie. You could tell they used fresh ingredients, so it didn't feel overly processed like a grocery store cream pie. My wife didn't like the amaretto in the pistachio latte. The cappuccino was decent, but the milk foam wasn't as dense as I like it. 3.5 stars overall. read more

I've had croissants, pastries, truffles, gelato, and espresso here over several years. All were good, but I won't return due to the 3% credit card surcharge. I've seen this in a lot of restaurants - but not other merchants - in the last few years, and I find it to be greedy - like asking for tips for counter service workers. Credit cards bring in many more customers, so there's an economy of scale, and there's also no risk; wanting all of that for nothing is not right. Without credit cards, most restaurants would not exist since many of their customers would not be able to afford their prices if the customers had to pay at the time of sale. read more

The All Chocolate Kitchen is a dessert shop borne from the mind of Alain Roby, a celebrity chef who was featured on the Food Network. I found this to be a novel and fun experience. I'd recommend it to anyone visiting Geneva from out of town. The store itself is straight from a child's imagination. Everywhere you turn, there are massive whimsical chocolate and candy sculptures, brightly colored peacocks, splattered with sparkle, in dynamic and dramatic poses. Think of Chihuly let loose in Willy Wonka's chocolate factory. Or Planet Hollywood. It's a bit gaudy, but hey, you just walked into a store for a three course meal consisting mainly of chocolate, so maybe it's time to look inward. I had the gelato croissant sandwich, and oh man, was it good. A fresh, warm croissant with two large scoops of gelato, finished with an alpine halo of powdered sugar. They also have more complex desserts (something avant-garde involving a melting chocolate ball) as well as coffee drinks and other beverages. Service was excellent. I felt like I was given enough assistance, especially with the menu, which is extensive to say the least. There's a large dining space with many tables. When I went in the afternoon on a weekday, there was plenty of space. Parking is available on the street. All in all, the dessert was great. It's almost a theme park-esque experience. Your kids will love it. read more

Yeah, first time in this place but it's suspect. First, they don't offer water, only bottled.. then there are signs everywhere that there are no refunds or exchanges. Then there is a code to the bathroom that comes with the receipt but I didn't get one. Two positives were the young woman at the gelato counter, but she was quite stressed I could tell. The gelato was ok. This place seems a bit backwards read more

This place is fantastic! What a cool concept. The hand made sugar & chocolate artwork around the inside made me want to work there just to watch the chef create them! read more

I don't have to say much more than "giant chocolate tree" to create a picture of how amazing this place is.

Visually delicious, awesome smells and delectable flavors. The place to indulge your sweet craving.

All I have to say is DE-LIC-OUS! I wanted a place that sold Apple Cider. I was walking around in Geneva and ran into this place to see if they had it, and they did! I ordered an hot apple cider and was looking at the pastries. They had so many different delicious looking items, I decided to get one. I bought the pumpkin strudel to take home. Later that evening, I decided to indulge myself in my new dessert. After I was beyond ecstatic to dig into my pumpkin strudel. The cream was so light and fluffy and the dough held quite well. The staff is friendly and there is quite the selection. I have to admit, I wanted everything there! :) This is a very cute place and the pastries are delicious. read more

Based on the gluten free, vegan gelato I had. Wow! I tried the chocolate and the raspberry. Both were really good and I opted for the chocolate. The chocolate was very "creamy" and really good chocolate flavor, not too sweet. The small was more than enough and really hit the spot after lunch. read more

Been going to all chocolate kitchen for years and it never disappoints. The ambiance is wonderful, such a cool place to visit. Whether you want coffee drinks, gelato, chocolates or house made desserts, you will not be disappointed. My favorite being the chocolate bread pudding! Will continue to go every time we eat in Geneva. read more

Food, Service & Ambiance were just right. Always relaxed, even when the crew is busy, and enjoyable.

We used to love their almond croissant filling with was full with almond paste in the past, but now it's full with cheese they changed the recipe of it and they don't serve you coffee to your table anymore too you need to listen to them call your order not name over a crowd. And they put it in a to go cup even if you drink it there to just sit with your family and friends. read more

I do recommend ACK. Been going for a decade. But it's sad how they've let their classic beautiful image deteriorate. I'm not sure if they are still living in Covid-19. Coffee and 5, small but yummy truffles, approximately $17. They don't even have a plate. read more

I love this place. It's bursting with artistic decorative work. The place is awesome! Everything here looks pretty and delicious. That's because most of it is edible. Most of the sculptures, some of the paintings, and the HUMONGOUS tree in the middle is either made of chocolate or sugar or both. The shift manager, Norma, is particularly enthusiastic. They have Gelato (with unique flavors), to chocolates, to pastry, to chocolate covered bacon etc. On Sunday they also have crepes and I gave in to indulgence and got the sugar crepe. OH MY GOD!! It was emotional. I almost felt like crying. The home made whip cream was amazing!!! It comes with a strong custard influence. It's decadent but just stops short before being too rich. Which means you can pile it on, OH MY GOD!! (See video) read more

Apparently this place is too cheap to offer water to paying customers. When I asked for water they said they only offered water bottles I could buy. Can't believe a business would not allow a paying customer to get a cup of water. Very disappointed. I've never been to a coffee shop that tried to scam its own customers into buying water. read more

So dissatisfied in products always enjoyed and recommended last several visits extremely high prices poor quality will not return

Cute chocolate shop open during the day and at night, I love that about this place! It's located off of third street where a lot of awesome restaurants are- so definitely a good choice for dessert after dinner. I love their wide variety of options, I especially love the champagne truffles. read more

Terrible experience. I am not one to typically review but I feel I have to here. The food and coffee were fine. The fact that you have to use a code on your receipt to use their dirty bathroom is mind blowing. Even after you pay almost $70 in food and drinks and you go to use the bathroom, if you get the code wrong when entering it, they might ask you to leave. They won't use their own "special code" to open it for you unless you ask for it "politely". It's a bathroom. You paid for food, you should have access to the bathroom. They still won't offer to open it for you. It's Geneva for goodness sake. This place is weird and not clean. The couch covers were dirty and stained. Go at your own risk and remember use a bathroom somewhere else before you go. Everyone was rude there. From the young workers to the old owner- with the exception of an older woman (being trained I think). Yikes for her! So disappointing. read more

Wow, am I ticked off - I went in to buy giftcards and was in for shock when I got my credit card bill and discovered All Chocolate Kitchen charged an undisclosed 3% fee. This is the same establishment that told me to pay by credit card as they could not break the $100 bill I originally tried to pay with. So they charged me an undisclosed 3% fee when they insisted I pay in cash. What a bunch of low-life grifters. read more

Standards have definitely dropped over the last few years. Every time I visit the ACK the service is slow, the latte's lukewarm, the worst has to be the drop in quality of the baked goods. The quiche was soggy and the cookies tasted stale. Very unfortunate. We threw it in the trash right there. read more
