I tried this place on a recommendation. The shop is cute, and the staff was average nice. The display was exceptional, everything looked amazing. I tried three of the viral fruit shaped desserts, it was $45, ugh. The mango was the best, with real chunks of fruit, layered on top of a cake like bottom with mango filling and a thin layer of chocolate encapsulating the dessert. The lemon and strawberry were the same respectively, but with no fruit inside. They were all pretty, and I wanted to love these but, it was just ok for me and I probably wouldn't get them again. Also, I cannot understand why they are so expensive, possibly hard to make or the ingredients, either way, sadly, I would not rush back. read more

This is one of my niece's favorite spots for açai bowls and so we went here for lunch. It was pretty slow and it does seem to take some time for them to make it, but it was pretty decent. I got the divine açai bowl. It was hard to tell because it was also a cooler day and breezy to eat outside, but it allowed my dog to be out there with me too. It definitely has a younger vibe and more kitschy than maybe a place about food and flavor. There are definitely a lot of sweets options and maybe that would've been another thing to try. read more

Choco Mania Cafe - Pistachio Latte - Gelato Near Me - Birmingham, Michigan

I LOVE Choco Mania! It was my first time going to this location and I'd go back. I normally get the Dubai chocolate strawberries, but got the Biscoff dessert cup instead this time. I love how light and fluffy it is. The desserts here are a bit pricy, but very worth it because they are high quality! read more

Had to stop by to try the chocolate Dubai strawberries. There wasn't much pistachio flavor but I enjoyed the texture. The place is spacious and open quite late so a perfect spot for a late night treat. I thought the prices of things were quite high for what they were. read more

Choco Mania Cafe - Dubai chocolate strawberries - Gelato Near Me - Birmingham, Michigan

I was excited when I heard that Choco Mania Cafe had opened in Birmingham and sadly found that the cafe was just average. Here's my cons: - Overpriced: 2 coffees and 3 pastries got us at over $50 - Pastries (Choco Rasberry, Biscoff cheesecake, and Cannoli): didn't taste fresh or that delicious. Here's the pros: - Clean cafe - Very colorful decor (also slightly a con) - Cute macaroon swing for photos - Iced coffee: yummy, could taste the tasteful syrup despite the ice ratio - Staff was nice Yet, iced coffee drinks were tasty! I feel like they just need to focus on a few items instead of having so many menu items that they can't keep fresh. Hoping the best for Choco Mania and that this is just the beginning growing pains for a great up and coming cafe. read more

Went in today- they had fruit riot in the freezer. That is anywhere from 5-10 dollars at the grocery store - they wanted 20. Borderline extortion. WTF. Just bc you are in town where people have money doesn't mean it's a smart business move to be an asshole- and not even hide it... strawberries are still fire though. read more

Viral pistachio candy bar, ten out of ten! They are selling tons of them! I found out and rushed over there, so good. This is an adorable little cafe with a huge menu. The people here were very friendly. I bought a couple bars because one is not enough. It was as gooey and crispy as it looked online. We would love to come back and try more items. Everything looks irresistible! read more

Wow, what a high-priced-rip-off! I took my kiddo after some vaccines to get a sweet treat and this place caught her eye (of course it did with what looks like giant macaron swings. Both of which appeared to be slightly broken...) Let's start with the astronomical prices! 17-18 for a bowl of ice cream. Now, the girl that rolled it, she was sweet, but then she left half an ice cream roll on the tray instead of making it fit. I paid for that... You can only get vanilla based ice cream for the rolls. Not any of the flavors and ANY substitutions are immediately an up charge of a dollar. Second, the ABSURD chairs! My kid, who was NOT being goofy or silly or fooling around on the chairs, was tipped off TWICE because the aesthetic to this place was clearly the selling point. The chairs have 3 legs on a triangular base. What kid is this good for? You're an ice cream place... cater to your customers? There are BEEPERS for waiting for your ice cream. Again. It's ice cream. In the end, my kid couldn't get what she was hoping for, because you can also ONLY get rolled ice cream in the MED cup, and since I asked for mangos to be added, they immediately took it as a substitution for one of their sundaes for $18.02. I had considered a matcha latte before I saw the total, but that's another $9.00! No thanks. I'll have ice cream my kiddo can enjoy without falling out of the chairs that make up most of the dining area. (And yes, we did move to another seat, but she could barely reach the table because it's too far away from the booth seat. If you want fancy backgrounds for your Instagram page, have a ball I guess. They have a counter for all their Instagram mentions.... otherwise, save your money and get better ice cream elsewhere. read more

All around a disappointment. I had high hopes of this place and wanted to treat my daughter after school and after spending a lot on just a few items we were so bummed out! So many fake colored items (like banana ice cream does not need to be fluorescent!) and in general TOO many items - this place has so much going on. I'll give it a little praise for its aesthetic being cute but for being in downtown Birmingham I expected it to be something special. Over looking the weird (and dirty) hospital type curtains in the back on the way to the (dirty) bathroom, and ignoring the intense music with a ton of curse words, the decor of this place is fun. And they had a nice Christmas tree! However, none of that matters when the food is mehhh. The macaron had a good texture to the shell but the Oreo one had such a weird taste - that over saturated food coloring taste and maybe an oil flavoring rather than just mixing actually oreos into the filling. YUCK. The crème brûlée macaron was not any better, in fact it had no flavor at all. The ice cream was nothing special and left a film in our mouths. $6.50 for the mini size The biscoff cheesecake - dont even bother with any of the entremet type desserts. Extremely over priced and messy looking read more

Cute place, esthetically pleasing. Really expensive, but it is in Birmingham. Workers were very nice though. But I went here specifically for the viral dubai bar. It came out of the cold package like this.... Spilling out in every way....kinda ruined the whole experience for me. and the chocolate on the outside just isn't high quality. The size of the bar is half of the actual dubai bar. Pretty small. We got 2 other desserts that we will try tonight and update. Update after desserts: the desserts were very good!! So I added one star. read more

They let my group in after they closed, they were super nice! Not sure what all the rude reviews are about! People are harsh. Service was great for my entire group. Staff is kind and patient. Ambiance is cool and welcoming. Dessert was really good. I do agree it is really expensive that's the only downside. It isn't that affordable :/ read more

Beautiful place, everything was extremely clean and orderly. I was really just expecting a spectacular product. I ordered the viral Dubai Choco Covered Strawberries and it was okay. The chocolate was HEAVENLY, the strawberries were big but they tasted mid at best which I anticipated because they are winter time berries. I wasn't paying attention so after checking out and getting home I noticed the 26.50 I paid the dessert. lol. I may have waited until the Summer when berries are sweetest with that premium pricing.. I'll likely return for the chocolate alone. Nice place. read more

AMAZING!!! Great survive, and even better food Dubai chocolate is the best I've ever had need to try 10/10 recommend!!!

The macaroons are amazing. Fast service. Staff was super friendly. Almost went back for more after driving off. Would definitely go back and just sit and drink coffee for a bit, it's got a cute vibe to it. read more

first off, all of the workers are plain rude and seem annoyed all the time, the desserts are very mediocre and even low quality for the high price. the whole vibe of the place is nice, but don't let the decorations fool you! this has to be some money laundering scam or something because it's actually outrageous. don't go here! read more

High priced rip-off. Flavors are not there. Way too many things on the menu. The menu is not readable. Food coloring and high sugars on everything. read more

Over priced. Crêpes covered in chocolate can't even taste them. So much sugar... no need to have the whole crêpe coved like that.

Horrible, rude employees. Food is overpriced and a ripoff and tastes like crap. Don't go here, they also play loud rap music that has slurs and curses in it. You'd be better off going somewhere out of your way. And I don't ever review places I just made this account today to say how horrible they are. read more
