Great place for chocolate lovers!…read more Their drinks are at a very reasonable price and good portions. We had their hot chocolate which is only $3 with a huge marshmallow square (you can get it without). Even their coffees are under $4. Their chocolates are $2.60 per piece, $22 for 8pc box, $39 for 16, and $68 for 32. Their cake was also rich with cocoa flavor and not just sweet. The staff were friendly and got our orders quickly. It was a calming environment and fun for the kids to watch the chocolatiers work their magic.

They had some interesting flavors and we were able to try some samples. I opted for a scoop of apple pie and a scoop of sea salt caramel. Unlike other ice cream, where the caramel is hard, this ice cream had gooey caramel. The apple pie had pieces of apple and crispy bits of crust in it. They were both delicious! I have definitely found my favorite ice cream place!

Cocoa & Spice are the Michelin star version of chocolates! They are so good I decided to include them in my stockings this year and hunted down the shop in Charlottesville!

Everything we sampled was delicious and the owner took her time to talk about her chocolate. It truly is not a place to be missed! Go here before Gerharts!!

They had a vast selection of popcorn (from what I can remember) but also Cotton Candy with flavors I've never purchased anywhere else, I got the Hot Cocoa flavored Cotton Candy and it was insanely delicious!! My popcorn purchase was the Kettle Corn, White Cheddar popcorn and it was by far my favorite white cheddar popcorn purchase ever. The service at It's Poppin, matches the name Poppin!! They were so kind, friendly, and down-to-earth. I also appreciated that they had an open area, where you could watch them popping the popcorn. My nose led me right to truck, where all the yummy treats, were waiting for me to purchase. The prices, at first, I thought were a little high, but after eating them both and considering the size of bag/container, I think they were pretty fair. I hope to catch these peeps at another local event.

I think they dont like to work there. Maybe it is the high prices of Charlottesville that makes them so unwilling to be courteous?
