Totally stumbled upon this place by accident, and what a serendipitous find! We saw that they had…read morethe viral Dubai chocolates (this was back in October). For those who don't know what the Dubai chocolates are, they are milk chocolates filled with shredded phyllo dough and pistachio cream. My first impression was whether or not I had walked into an art gallery or a confectionary shop. Uh...turns out both! According to their website, the owner and her partner were originally artists prior to becoming chocolatiers. This place just screams creativity and their chocolates are ethically-sourced and almost too pretty to eat. They even have a backroom gallery to showcase local artists' confectionary-inspired works. We couldn't find the Dubai chocolates, but one of the employees approached us and asked if we needed any assistance. Turns out they were in the back and they had just received a shipment! The Dubai chocolates were nutty, crunchy, flaky, and velvety all in one! Pricey, but worth trying. Also, might I just take a moment to say I absolutely adore the shop's name! It almost looks like "XO Chocolate" as in kisses and hugs, bu also reminded me of the language of the ancient Latin American civilizations and - fun fact - Xocolatl (you see the play on words?) means chocolate (literally means "bitter water") back when they would mix purely cocoa and water as a drink. If I'm not mistaken, this business is Latina-owned, so perhaps that was intention? So clever and, either way, kudos to them!

I tried the s'mores one not really knowing what to expect, but it ended up being a pleasant surprise. The marshmallow had this light, fluffy texture that paired really nicely with the cookie crumble on top, it gave it just the right mix of soft and crunchy. One thing to keep in mind, these are best enjoyed fresh. Once you take them home and stick them in the fridge, the toppings can start to harden and the overall texture isn't quite the same. So if you can, dig in right away. The spot itself is easy to miss, it's tucked into a little nook along Bay Street, right across from Jars. Definitely worth seeking out if you're in the area.

They do serve coffee. And I had high hopes for the mocha since it's a chocolate shop. Unfortunately, it was very disappointing. Tasted watered down. However, the chocolates made up for it. The milk chocolate and the hazelnut tablets were very good! They also have a variety of gelato to select from. So, we will be back for more chocolates and to try some gelato!

The salted caramel was super sweet for me, but chocolate chai was a perfect blend of spicy chai and sweet chocolate. I think you can customize your drinks based on preference as well which is really amazing. I especially loved browsing their expansive collection of artisan chocolate from around the world. Their staff are so knowledgeable and helpful, both with ordering drinks, and with picking out chocolate. 100/10 would come again.

I love chocolate, but I always found chocolate drinks to be too sweet for me, until this place. From the flavor of the chocolate drink alone, they're chocolate-centric to the point you can taste the coating of it still on your tongue. My wife got the hot drink while I got the cold one, and either way you take it, you won't regret your decision! Unfortunately we didn't give any to our dog for obvious reasons, but they were kind enough to provide water to our girl when they found out we were seated outside with her. Thank you very much!

I came here for an after hours event to celebrate Women's History Month. A real highlight was getting to take a chocolate factory tour, so we geared up with hairnet and robe to learn more about the chocolate-making process. The tour provided a unique opportunity to witness the production from start to finish, and to taste some of the finest chocolates available. It was such a unique experience!

Shoutout to my brother Zo, because we were on our way to Chef Smelly's when I mentioned Gregory's to him and how I hadn't tried them yet. He was like, "na bruh, we gotta go pull up." And I'm glad we did because let me tell you... best desserts I've had. This is now my third time coming in within a one month span I'm embarrassed to admit. I've tried the FatBoy (Combination of Peach Cobbler and Banana Pudding), the sweet potato pie, red velvet cake and a few other cheesecakes.

It's a very small underground-ish area, and there's no seating. You ask the staff for whichever pastries you'd like and they grab it out of the case/fridge for you. Ranked best to worst, we got the: - milkshake pie: omg idk how but it really does taste like a milkshake, coffee base with huge oreo chunks mixed in. brownie crust was quite tough but bottom was compressed oreo - sweet potato cake: yummm, tastes like carrot cake, well spiced, moist - coconut cream pie: not too sweet, big coconut chunks mixed into the base, light, very crumbly crust like loose crumbs - red velvet cake: easily the worst one, dry like a grocery store cake honestly Only issue is these got stale fast, like the cakes weren't moist the next day. Microwaved them to fix that and if you like warm cake then that's a helpful hack. They have a huge variety of desserts, many that I've never heard of or tried so definitely excited to try again.
