Visited the shop yesterday. I just love the outdoor look and feel. Feels like a quaint little shop but the brightness of the red gives it a whimsical feel. The shop was adorable with the gorgeous chocolates displayed visibly through the glass display case. I ended up just buying a vanilla bean latte and it was smooth and hot. I love that the shop had a set of barstools on the side of the shop. It gave it a homey feel. read more

I have previously been to both shops in Five Points and downtown Athens. The chocolates were excellent. I visited the shop in down town Athens last week and the chocolates were not good at all. I'm not sure what has changed but I suspect they have gone to a cheaper sugar and the cocoa had also been downgraded. Thankfully it's no longer easy to park in downtown Athens so I wasn't going back to the store anyway. Service was good but product not worth repeating. I can get better chocolate at a grocery store. read more

While getting a tour of the local area, I heard Condor chocolates was the place to go to get sweets. I'm always down for something sweet so of course we had to come check it out. Walking up to the place, I love the bright red tables outside. It adds such a fun vibrancy to the place. The windows are also decorated with beautiful strands of color. It creates such a fun vibe. I noticed the beautifully crafted truffles displayed in the glass case. They all looked so good! I asked the sweet gal for a variety of 8 pieces. I also got a salted caramel brownie as well. My truffles got boxed up with a cute white bow. My brownie was getting warmed up while the gal was helping another guest. I checked out the other items for sale while I was waiting for my brownie. I love all the Georgia Bulldog themed chocolates. There was also a different variety of chocolate bars available. I noticed they also sold espresso and coffee drinks at the shop. I wish I would have known about the coffee! I would have rather grabbed coffee from this joint and not from Starbucks. It will be something I'll have to try next time. My brownie was so good! The love the flakes of salt on the brownie. The sweet and salty combo is always a winner. It was heated up just right! There were caramel ribbons were in every bite. It's very decadent! Make sure you have a big glass of cold milk. You'll need it for this brownie! This was a neat little chocolate joint I got to check out. They have some really good sweets that you must try! The hazelnut truffle is a must have. I can't wait to share my truffles with my friends and family. I'll be sharing a piece of Athens with them. read more

This was our first time in Athens, GA and we wanted to bring home some local treats to our coworkers and stumbled across this darling business on our walk about town. I would have loved to sit down and sample some of their desserts or coffees but we had just eaten a filling meal and there was no way we could eat another bite. The look from the outside drew me in and the atmosphere and displays kept me browsing. With our youngest attending graduate school at UGA, we had to get some Bulldog Bark and a UGA Milk Chocolate bar for ourselves. We brought home an assortment of truffles that were so artfully designed. Although our order total came to $60, it was well worth it. The quality of ingredients and the presentation was well worth the price. It will be on our list to visit again when we come back into town. read more

I found this lovely coffee shop/bakery by accident. I was looking for a bookstore and knew once I passed it, I had to stop!! I ordered the Latte & a Brownie combo!! It did not disappoint. I got the special which was the Chocolate Dipped Strawberry Iced Latte (I think that's what it was called.) While it was good, I did not taste any strawberry. But that brownie, with the sea salt on top, was heaven sent! It was a tender, over the top chocolate, super moist delicious treat!! The cashier was friendly and service excellent! My only gripe is that I didn't buy 2!! One was not enough!! While I didn't sit inside it was vey quaint and conducive to sitting both inside and outside! Next time I'm in Athens, I'll definitely visit again!! read more

The chocolate was amazing, service was very quick and employee was respectful The aroma of fresh chocolate and coffee hit as soon as you open the door read more

Beautiful space. Hubs had coffee and he loved it and i had gelato. Was very good. We'd definitely come back when we need a treat!

I ordered a cortado and an Americano. Cortado was rich and creamy. I did not add sweetener and it was not bitter at all. One of the best I've ever had and I have had them all over Miami. The Americano was also very good. The young man working was pleasant and I enjoyed reading about their chocolate making process. read more

A hidden gem in Athens! It's a cute spot for catching up with a friend and getting coffee/chocolate/dessert. It's located right on Five Points, so parking can get a little tricky - there's street parking if you're lucky to find a spot, but otherwise you can try parking at the Earth Fare across the street. If you park anywhere else you might get booted/towed. They usually have 1-2 tables indoors but now it's all outdoor seating during COVID. Their menu is pretty simple with minimal options. I find the prices to be pretty expensive. First time I went I ordered the chocolate sandwich with gelato rolled in cocoa nibs. which I enjoyed. The nibs basically tasted like nuts, which added a good texture and slightly bitter flavor alongside the sweetness of the cookies and the gelato. The second time I went I ordered the brownie with gelato. The brownie was kind of hard and difficult to scoop through with my plastic spoon, but tasted good nonetheless. read more

5 starts for their chocolate milkshake! I saw this place on Google and decided to try it. I got a passion fruit truffle ($2.85 each) and my husband got a chocolate shake ($6.50) and a mocha truffle. The milkshake was delicious! It had a creamy chocolate taste. My truffle wasn't what I expected. It was a thick dark color jelly? With passion fruit taste. I would come back here for more milkshakes and to try other truffles. The chocolate around the truffle was delicious, just didn't like the filling and I usually love passion fruit everything. read more

The cutest chocolate shop in Athens. We dropped in to pick up some treats after a matcha run and we're pleasantly surprised :) I picked up a box of chocolate truffles for my mom and she loved them. The wrapping is complimentary and adds a nice touch. I loved the coffee caramel and mocha truffles . Such a yummy treat for your loved ones or yourself. I believe they also have coffee and lots of other buns/breads on the menu but I didn't get a chance to try! read more

Great ambiance for a chill coffee spot. Everything is done in house and the aroma when you walk in the store is spectacular. Everything was homemade; from gelato and fresh espresso for Affogato, to chocolate boxes that are handcrafted and rich. It was the best ice cream i've had since i've moved here, and i've lived here for three years. read more

Great place to enjoy a sweet treat (especially chocolate) and a coffee. I prefer a cappuccino or latte with my dark chocolate.

Staff is so friendly! Fast service! The aesthetic of the place is so cute and clean! I would reccomend this place as a study spot! read more

This place has a wonderful selection of vegan chocolates and truffles. It's always delightful to visit. The raspberry and the bourbon truffles are both vegan, and many of their chocolate bars are vegan as well. The service is routinely excellent. They know their chocolate! The decor is cute and fresh. There is some parking outside, although it fills up quickly. There are not many chairs or tables, so it kind of seems like a "buy and go" not a "sit and savor" sort of place. We love to go here after getting dinner next door, and it's a cute little area to visit in general if you're coming to Athens. read more

As we were walking to dinner this place caught our eye and we couldn't resist stopping in. We didn't get to explore it much because we snuck in just as it was closing time, but they were gracious enough to let us make a quick purchase and everything tasted wonderful. My daughter chose a caramel truffle & a bulldawg milk chocolate bar and thoroughly enjoyed them both. I got 3 truffles - Mayan, dark chocolate & raspberry. All three were delicious. Will definitely keep this place in mind the next time I'm in town and looking for a yummy treat. read more

Super cute place!! The truffles were $2.50 each but they had a special going where you could get a latte and a truffle for $5, so that's what I did. The latte had almond milk instead of whole milk and I added peppermint syrup which was really yummy! The Satsuma Truffle had orange caramel in the middle - the mix of flavors was super good and the flavor changed with each bite which was cool. My friend got the affogato which is gelato (chocolate) with espresso poured over and caramel sauce -- SO good. Would definitely come back! read more

The exposed brick contrasts really nicely with the white coffee bar. They have seating for a out eighteen. You can watch the machines that process the coffee from behind glass. They make a good iced mocha. read more

I came here with a group of friends to study on a Saturday afternoon. I was overwhelmed by the different choices that they had, but I ended up getting the affogota, because I wanted dessert and coffee. It. Was. Amazing. I chose the chocolate gelato, which tasted delicious with a shot of espresso. I will definitely come back to try their other sweets. Edit: everything that I've eaten at condor is amazing. I've had the marshmallow, hit chocolate, Honeycomb truffle, and affogato. One of my friends had the dipping chocolate and she thought I was amazing. it's definitely a go to in Athens! read more

Great chocolate and coffee cafe. I've been here 2-3 times. The brownie with gelato was delicious. They warm the brownie and add flakey sea salt and I picked coconut gelato with my brownie. The sipping chocolate they have is also really good. The servers are really nice. The chocolate bars are a bit pricey but are made here and made of quality ingredients. If you're looking for a sweet treat or gifts this is the place to go in Athens. If you're in Atlanta and missed going to condor here xocoatl in Krog street market also sells their bars. read more

I was overcome with a craving for chocolate today. Fortunately, I had heard Condor Chocolates had opened in Five Points. Currently they have maybe 6 types of a truffles available, a full espresso bar, hot chocolate, and sipping chocolate. If you're not in the mood for chocolate or coffee, they also have a variety of delicious spindrift sodas. They had two specials available, as well: chocolate mousse with olive oil, hazelnuts, & dried cherries and a caramel sea salt brownie. We started off with the Mayan and Dark chocolate truffles. They were both scrumptious, but I especially liked the Mayan. It had a bit of a spice to it. We also had the brownie, which they warmed up for us. The outside was a bit crispy and the rest of it was perfectly salty, sweet, and chocolatey. But what really got me hooked was the sipping chocolate. I had a sip and I was taken into another realm where everything was made of chocolate and I'm eternally happy -- I think that's what heaven must be like. I felt happy and sad at the same time -- how could i have been missing out on this my whole life?? I'm hooked. I will be back regularly for my sipping chocolate fix. Thank you, Condor Chocolates. read more

The interior of condor chocolates is really hip and pretty neat. I believe they are going for a Mayan theme but I may be wrong. All of the truffles (2$ each) here are delicious!!!! They are not too sweet and are pretty flavorful, and that's saying a lot coming from a person who is not a huge fan of chocolate! I've tried many of the flavors, but I particularly like lavender honey, raspberry, and lemon rosemary! I would really like to try the earl grey one hopefully next time I visit. They also have the "messed up" truffles that are cheaper with several in a plastic wrapping, but the flavors are mixed so you don't really get to choose which flavors you want. They also sell other goodies which include chocolate bars, chocolate covered marshmallows, hot chocolate, coffee, brownies, macarons, and milkshakes. They usually only have 2 macarons on the menu and it's random so I never know which 2 macarons are in the store on the day I decide to go. The fruity pebbles is awesome! Same with earl grey and pistachio! I'm not a huge fan of Mayan because of its cinnamony taste, but some people love it! The brownie is pretty awesome too. It's kind of sweet though, so beware. Maybe order an americano on the side to balance it out? The Mocha milkshake is a must for any first timers!!!! You get to choose your toppings. I've also tried chocolate milkshake but mocha is hands down where the party's at!!!!! Minus one star because it smelled like toilet in here last time I visited with my sister. I'm not so sure why..... but I was a bit disappointed when I had raved about the place and oddly enough it smelled like weird toilet water on the day I decided to show her the place. I would say it's a good place to study, though, when it doesn't smell like toilet inside! It usually smells like chocolate and they have a long table seating area attached to the open kitchen area with plugs to charge your electronics. They also have WiFi which is a plus!! :o) Definitely check out the place if you can!!!! read more

A local gem, this is a beautiful stop for a quick bite of chocolate goodness and gorgeous cup of coffee. We got 2 cortados (mini cappuccinos with 1/2 the milk). They came with lovely bites of biscotti with candied lemon and cacao nibs. I was eying the truffles as the flavors looked amazing! Next time. read more

Condor is now open for coffee and breakfast, both of which are well-done and super reasonably priced. I came on a Saturday morning for a cappuccino and was talked into their homemade Nutella toast (made with Independent Bakery bread)- as expected for a chocolatier, it was pretty out-of-this-world! The cappuccino was also perfectly done, even with using coconut milk instead of whole. At the time, they were serving local 1000 Faces coffee, though the owner noted they would be bringing in other regional coffee beans. I would absolutely recommend Condor for a special treat or as a place to meet friends for coffee! There isn't a ton of room inside, but there are a few tables and bar stools (just something to be aware of)! read more

I really love the chocolates at this business and have been a customer for several years, however I recently had a quality/safety issue and was promised a gift certificate as an accommodation for this but i did not receive one. Disappointed! read more

It's all about the chocolate, and I have to say that the 5 stars is based on chocolate quality alone. It is excellent. And I _really_ like chocolate, so I've eaten a lot of different types. I didn't try the brownie, though it looks impressive, but I did have a $2 truffle. Which was TOTALLY worth $2. It was really amazing. (And, really, how many truffles should you eat in one go? This is not the place to go if you're hungry. Go get a meal! Then come here for dessert afterwards.) The cappuccino was better than average, but I don't know that I'd come here just to drink it. On the other hand, I'm definitely coming back to try the other truffle flavors. And maybe the baked good. Also, excellent choice for valentine's day chocolate, I'd think. Well done! read more

Best chocolate "anything" I've ever had. My wife took me here for a little Anniversary dessert and I absolutely loved it! We had the brownie, sipping chocolate, mocha , and an earl grey tea macaroon. It was all fantastic! Freshly made, savory, bitter, and not overly sweet. Simply a different and artistic experience with chocolate. You just have to try this place. The brownie had chocolate merengue crumbs, caramel, a slight buttery taste. The sipping chocolate was thick and had housemade marshmallows. The macaroon tasted just like tea, but sweet and fluffy yet crunchy. read more

Pricey, but high quality and good service. I stopped by Condor with a date to grab some post-lunch sweets, and we weren't disappointed. We each got a ice cream (vanilla and chocolate) and a truffle (mocha and honey lavender). I didn't have high expectations for the ice cream, but both flavors were great. And of course the chocolate truffles were delicious! There were many truffle choices, and the cashier was more than happy to help decide which to get. It looked like they had a lot of other chocolate treats as well, and I hope to try a chocolate cake slice sometime in the future. The interior was cute with a few indoor seating areas (counter and tables) with an open view of the chocolate-making process (outdoor seating also available from what I recall). We stayed at Condor for hours, and we never felt pressured to leave (note: it was a weekday, so not a lot of people were coming in looking for seats). Overall, a great specialty chocolate shop, but just a little too much for my wallet at the moment. read more

During our visit in Athens, my boyfriend and I stopped here for dessert. We both got the dark chocolate brownie, which was so fudgey and dense (highly recommend). My boyfriend also got the cloud boulder and I got a mix of vanilla and chocolate gelato with biscotti crumbles as a topping. When I asked the employee how big a cup of the gelato was, he said it was about the size of a golf ball, which threw me off, since most gelato shops in America tend to give a more generous serving. However, this gelato was so rich, the golf ball serving size was more than enough (also highly recommend). The desserts here are pretty small compared to standard desserts, but they are so flavorful and are guaranteed to satisfy your palate :) read more
