This place is absolutely amazing! Christopher Elbow Chocolates was new to us and wow, what a treat it was! Our dear friends invited us to come along for the Gift of Life fundraiser called Go See Do. One of the locations available was this one. We got a lovely informational tour presented by the head chef. We got to taste single origin chocolate from Madagascar, Ecuador and the Vietnam. Delicious! The tour was fantastic and they even gave us a discount to buy some chocolate to take home. Which we did! I appreciated Christopher Elbow supporting a local worthy charity so graciously and generously. The place is incredibly tidy, and the chocolate is the best I've had in my life! Going forward I will be buying all my client holiday gifts here. read more

Wow! I certainly didn't know what to expect when I went here. This place has been on my list for some time. I knew it was going to be expensive so fair warning that you will likely spend $3-4 per chocolate. However, I cannot tell you how amazing these were. They have such creative flavors that you probably have never tried before. It beats any "fancy" boxed chocolate I have ever had. You can tell that there is a true art and craftsmanship when it comes to their chocolate creations. I would say this is a must for a special occasion, needing a gift or taking someone around kc for the first time. They also offer a chocolate tour on their website. I have not done this but I think it would be a great experience to learn more about the craftsmanship behind the chocolates. read more

I stopped by Christopher Elbow Chocolate for a tour and some sweet treats, and overall it was a really enjoyable experience! The chocolate is absolutely amazing rich, smooth, and beautifully crafted. I picked up a box of four and a peanut cluster. The tour began with a sample of Aztec drinking chocolate, which had a bit of a spicy kick. Not exactly my go to, but it was fun to try something different. We learned about cacao trees and the full process of how chocolate is made, from bean to bar. I did walk away with some new info, though I was hoping for a more behind-the-scenes look maybe some machines in action or chocolate being made in real time. It's a neat experience if you enjoy learning about the "how" behind your favorite treats. That said, the chocolate alone is worth the trip. Friendly staff, a small but stylish space, and decadent creations make Elbow a must-visit for any chocolate lover. read more

15/10. Best chocolate I've ever had in my life. I truly could not stop smiling from the joy this evoked in me. We had already eaten a big breakfast but I wanted to stop in here from a recommendation from a friend. I got two: the fleur de sel and the bourbon butterscotch or something like that. The fleur de sel was PERFECTION. Possibly THE best singular thing I've ever tasted. The butterscotch was fine but the fleur de sel is something I'll think about. My mom got the lemon and was in heaven! read more

Nice chocolate shop with creative chocolates. As others have mentioned, this is not an inexpensive shop and you'll pay dearly for anything they sell. The quality is good and the shop is clean and neat. I've had other similar chocolates at other chocolatiers around the world, and this is on par with others. Good place to come to get a gift or treat yourself from time to time. read more

Wanted to get something local for my mom for Mother's Day as I'm newer to KC. Christopher Elbow was getting all kinds of hype for people who love chocolates. I'll be honest.... I was disappointed. It felt like there were only a handful of actual chocolates. Too many of them were just coated in chocolate or not even that. Don't get me wrong. They're beautiful. But they were my favorite. Sticking to Godiva for now. read more

Customer service was amazing and patient! The lady helped me pick our 48 pieces so I could make a double advent calendar. It is always an exciting time to go there. They make great gifts! I got the Black Friday online discount since I mentioned it. So I bought some smaller holiday flavors too. read more

I ordered a 24 piece signature chocolate collection box. $70 + shipping is stiff for a box of chocolates. Was it delicious? Absolutely! I do want to say this shipment was so well-packed and the shipping cost was reasonable. I was impressed at the care they took to get my chocolates to me in good condition. None of the pieces were chipped or cracked. Does this chocolate company get my seal of approval? Yes, it does. Will I order again? Although it will cost me a pretty penny, yes I would order again for special occasions and as gifts for people who are dearest to my heart. read more

I came in for the hand crafted gourmet chocolate and was intrigued when they offered the drinking chocolates made with oat milk and fresh whipped cream. Most definitely the BEST hot chocolate I've ever tasted in my life. It was so good I had to double back to buy a canister so I could enjoy this goodness at home! I love the fact that it is crafted from pure dark chocolate and blended with Tahitian vanilla bean. A packet of Swiss miss could never! I wish there was a franchise in Kansas, but I am happy Missouri isn't too far away. Special thank you to the girl who helped me pick out the perfect gift and use my reward the same day. I love companies that offer rewards for the money spent and I can't wait to come back and try the homemade marshmallows! read more

Delicious works of art and not too sweet. Some of my favorites are the dark chocolate turtles, the fleur de sel, the rosemary, strawberry balsamic, lavender, and banana foster bonbons. Staff at this location are great. Their seasonal flavors and designs are also wonderful. read more

Christopher Elbow is one of THE iconic names in KC. I can't think of a more special gift than giving someone a box of Christopher Elbow chocolates. They are beautiful, unique, and delicious. It's fun to gawk at them from the other side of the glass. They also have seasonal candies, drinking chocolate powder, chocolate covered nuts, and chocolate bars! It's expensive - I'll give you that - but the whimsy is worth it. The reason to go to the store in Crossroads is to get drinking chocolate! It is luxurious, rich, and creamy - so much more decadent than a regular hot chocolate. They have delicious flavors. I recently tried the spiced dark chocolate, and it is SPICY! So warming. Getting a drinking chocolate was a KC bucket list item for me and my girlfriend for so long. One of the best times to come is on first Friday right at 4 pm because they often have deals where you can get individual chocolates for $1. It is crazy in there, and if you get there even an hour late, all the chocolates will be sold out. Get there early and reap the benefits! read more

All I can say is OMG!!! These chocolates are incredible. Definitely not cheap but every chocolate is a unique taste explosion in your mouth. Everything from the presentation to the information sheet inside which explains the different flavors of each chocolate to the professional finish of each piece of chocolate is mind blowing. Chocolateering is a science and an art all In one. Each chocolate melts in your mouth and exposes the flavor bit by bit as it melts. I can't wait for my next box!!! read more

I'm not a huge chocolate lover but I could eat Christopher Elbow chocolates all the time. Unfortunately, Christopher Elbow only has stores in Kansas City and San Francisco. I've never seen these chocolates sold where I'm from. I stopped by the Kansas City store and tried a variety of their chocolates on display and purchased a box of Peanut Butter Cups. Christopher Elbow chocolates are expensive but so delectable and worth the treat for oneself or loved ones during the holidays or special occasions. I made sure to savor every morsel. I will be sure to stop by again the next time I'm in Kansas City. read more

Wife and I started going to Christopher Elbows Years ago. I was of the afflicted who couldn't resist eating your chocolate (even those hollow, milk chocolate Easter bunnies!) the moment you looked away. This place has cured me of that affliction as now I can appreciate truly good chocolate. When I was young I didn't get the old guy who bought one drink of quality scotch or bourbon when I could get several of what I was having; that was then Christopher Elbow is now. I have had chocolate sales people touting how theirs are the "best in the world" and after trying theirs, I would (will) ask if they have ever had Christopher Elbow's because if they had they wouldn't be pedaling theirs as the best. Yes the typical rude American. I love the way this business infuses flavors into their beautiful chocolates. They are truly a gift to be cherished. Friendly advice here, do not use their boxes to wrap Christmas presents, my sister was heartily disappointed at my little joke. read more

Delicious chocolates. Artisanal and expensive but worth it to sample occasionally. Couldn't tell the single origin ganache apart because they all had the same chocolate shell covering. Bummer but delicious anyway. Rosemary chocolate had rosemary infused caramel inside. Yum! read more

I visited this cute, classy, chocolate heaven while I was exploring Kansas City. The chocolates are tiny pieces of art. Seeing them in the display when you walk in is a feast for the eyes. The worst part is trying to pick out which ones to buy. The flavor combinations are amazing. I bought an 8 piece box. I wound up buying a couple of extra pieces ($2 ea) and a dark chocolate peanut butter square. I believe it was $4. The size of this square is 2-3 pieces of the small chocolates. I also want to note if you love coffee, you should purchase one of their decadent espressos. They use their chocolate and then add in the espresso. They aren't very big and they are $6, but just soooo delicious if you like chocolate and espresso. Not only are the chocolates exquisite, but I got lucky and Cecelia was working the morning I visited. My partner stayed out in front of the shop walking our dog so I could go in and when Cecelia saw them out there, she walked out with a big bowl of water for my dog. She also spent time talking with me about the chocolates. After I picked the Earl Grey and a chai, she said we probably enjoyed some of the same flavor profiles and recommended some more even giving me one piece to taste because she thought I would like it. She wasn't wrong! The Yuzu Mandarin is exquisite. I wound up with the Passion Fruit, another Yuzu Mandarin, a Rosemary, Fresh Lemon, Lavender, Fluer de sel, and Pistachio Cherry. She made sure I had a menu that describes each chocolate so I could remember as I try them. They also ship! I believe they only have locations in Kansas City and San Francisco. After getting my chocolates together, making my espressos, and ringing me up, Cecilia asked if she could walk me out and meet my dog. She told us more about Kansas City since she had moved there 20 years earlier. The city has changed a lot but they still love it and it was the best move they ever made. She is a great ambassador for KC! She also loves animals and has rescue rabbits. My dog is very shy but let Cecilia pet her. She knows a good person when she meets them. As we were getting ready to leave, Cecilia said her Monday had started off frustrating and she thanked me for coming in because I had made her day much better! What a kind thing to say to a customer. She had made my trip to Christopher Elbow Chocolates special and joyful. I'll remember Cecilia long after the chocolates are gone, so I hope the company knows how much their employees brighten the experience of their customers. I am now eating my chocolates slowly because they are so pretty to look at and scrumptious! I'll miss them when they are gone! Maybe I'll call up Cecilia to place a mail order soon! read more

A surprising location, but with easily accessible parking-pretty hidden unless you are heading there on a mapped-out journey. The vibes are definitely clean, and modern- sterile even. The gorgeous colors of the chocolates make up for it. Carefully displayed, the flavors make you want to say " one of each, please"! I have worked my way through them, and am happy to say that I believe I have tried 90% of what they have available. All have been unbelievable. Highlights: Lemon, fleur de sel, lavender caramel Their drinking chocolate is at the perfect temp for sipping, and when topped with their marshmallows!?- perfection. read more

Had a white elephant exchange and thought this was the perfect gift to bring! I've only heard of this place that was highly recommended by friends and I do see why. When you walk in the shop, it's a small very cute boutique chocolate shop with a beautiful assortment of chocolates in so many different flavors! I ended up picking the 8 piece assorted chocolate box that cost around $26ish. The staff assisting me was extremely helpful in picking out the best flavors and was very attentive. I was in and out of the shop in 5 min which made it really convenient (considering this gift was very last minute lol). Would totally recommend this to anyone looking for gifts for the Christmas time / significant other / or birthday gift!!! Definitely meant for a special occasion or if you ever wanna treat yourself. read more

I would love to know if they have amazing hot chocolate but was denied service because they were cleaning up. Arrived at 5:53, they close at 6. I worked in coffee and closing down the steamer early is a gamble and customers sometimes come in close to close. It does suck, but it's a minor inconvenience. In fact, it's your job. Was really looking forward to an artisan hot chocolate with my kids to go look at Christmas Lights. read more

I wanted to stop here because this is the home location to the boutique that I frequent in San Francisco. They make the most beautiful and approachable chocolates that I have experienced.

My husband and I were looking forward to try Elbow chocolates for a while now and what better time to enjoy them than on an intimate weekend indoors celebrating Valentine's and our 5th wedding Anniversary? The entire experience of contacting them on facebook messenger for some information to filling up a form for the curbside pickup was pretty smooth though we ended up taking a masked tour of their beautiful boutique shop and decided to give up on our curbside pickup privileges. We ordered a box of 36 chocolates, a small Valentine's box and a creme brulee bar. We also purchased a can of their hot chocolate while picking up our order. It was an expensive purchase with a cool 14% valentine's day off and one that I will definitely be tempted to make again but only for a select flavors because not all of them were for us. The aztec spice was my least favorite but their raspberry caramel is to die for. The Lavender filled one had a lot of lavender to my taste but the lemon filled one was so perfect that I'm craving for one right now! We divided each piece of art (yes, these chocolates= art!) into 2 and had a taste test of all the pieces and decided on which ones we'd go for in the future. Their creme brulee bar blew our minds! It's the most decadent chocolate you'll have tasted in your entire life! Those shards of caramelized sugar taste fantastic on a bed of fine white chocolate. Don't be surprised if you find 10 of those lying around in my secret chocolate cupboard! Christopher Elbow chocolates are fine pieces of art and the outer coating of chocolate that encases the caramel and other flavors within is beautifully crafted thin. You won't bite into a huge chunk of chocolate and miss the flavors because they are gourmet in every sense and they look like brilliant artsy marbles. I cannot wait to go back for my favorites and try some new flavors too! If you have a special occasion coming, this would be the perfect place to get some gourmet chocolates! read more

We had a sweet tooth so decided to stop by this place. It is exactly what the title says: artisanal chocolates. They clearly are made with a lot of effort as each piece is intricately decorated. They have about ~15 different flavors and we chose 4 of them: caramel pecan, fleur de les, lemon and macademia praline. We really enjoyed all of them except the lemon one which was a bit too strong in flavor. The fleur de les is the most popular for a reason, it was delicious! The price is a bit steep at $2.50 but as I mentioned, they are made with a lot of detail. read more

Decadence. That's The only word to use! A stop at this flagship brings 3 joys: 1. A very robust collection of Elbow's artfully crafted chocolates and sweets 2. DRINKING chocolate. Oh my... You should eat a salad beforehand and might want to plan to walk around a bit afterwards, but this is like drinking from Wonka's chocolate river... Only warm and comforting! 3. A sneak peek at how is all made! The shop has a glass viewing wall back into the factory/workshop and it's fun to see the bustle bring forth beautiful and delicious chocolate. Tip: My favorite drinking chocolate is the peanut butter version, but whatever you choose, don't skip the house made marshmallows! read more

Best chocolate you'll have. We've purchased Elbow chocolates before but never from their actual storefront. The staff were warm, inviting, and helpful. The options were overwhelming but we chose a box of six and two of the premade winter boxes. Their chocolate covered almonds are to die for. Definitely come here for a stop if you're in the area, it's so worth it! read more

I didn't know this place existed. So happy to come upon it! They have the most BEAUTIFUL chocolates, and such an interesting variety of flavors. The staff member assisting me was so kind and helpful.

In fact, probably soon for some Easter gifts. Do check it out! read more

Amazing place with chocolates! Beautiful art and chocolate is combine together?! Sometimes I think the chocolates are too pretty to eat, but once I bite into one, it's so tasty and rich in flavors. There's plenty of different flavors and staff are really friendly and really helpful to pick out the chocolates in your favor. I like coming here for First Fridays, it gives me a chance to check out the chocolates that I haven't taste or get my favorites (like the passion fruit). This is a great place to give a love one or friend who like chocolates. read more

This is a cute and quaint chocolate shop. The chocolates are delicious and so very pretty. The single pieces remind me of the colorful selection from Matilda(no judgment).

Check out my photo to see what I got. I basically loved them all! read more

As with many other famed chocolate boutiques, you're paying for the whole package at Christopher Elbow. The chocolates are not only delicious but also gorgeous, packaged in a pretty box to keep them that way. I like that the box has individual slots for each chocolate; I brought my goodies back to Maine and the pieces didn't move around and become a mess. I also really like the glossy look of the bonbons. It bothers me a lot when I get chocolates with cavities after paying a premium price because it shows poor attention to detail. It was a delight that Christopher Elbow's chocolates were visual perfection. I got an assortment of flavors: caramel apple, rosemary caramel, lavender caramel, fleur de sel caramel, butterscotch bourbon, maple bourbon, whiskey pecan, raspberry pate de fruit in dark chocolate with bergamot ganache, and banana foster. None stood out more than others; all of them were good. The hot chocolates were also worth trying. I got mine with marshmallows on top, and it was delightful for a cold spring day. Christopher Elbow was one of the reasons I fell in love with KCMO during my brief visit. I definitely would make it a point to stop by if I ever get a chance to visit the city again. read more
