We have come to love St. Augustine Florida. One our first visit here we found this bakery as it was near the house we rented. During that initial stay, I walked here a couple of times to pick up treats and they didn't disappoint. Since then it has become a go-to when we have guests visiting and want to have dessert on hand. It is a pretty interior space with desserts and treats galore. They are beautifully made and a treat for all your senses. The staff on my visits have always been so friendly and helpful. (I love the southern hospitality we experience at so many places in St. Augustine.) My favorite treat may just be the cannoli. They are smaller sized than what I am used to back home...but this is good thing! in my opinion. There are an assortment of chocolates, brownies, cookies, some candies, croissants...and a variety of cakes and pies. We are not huge sweets eaters but this place is hard to resist. read more

This place is pure magic! I felt like a kid in the candy shop, quite literally. Every item is visually stunning and looks so delicious, it's hard to pick just one to take home (which is why we got multiple options). The stand outs were the pumpkin flavored desserts including the cheesecake. They were so flavorful, I kept going for more. I also got the raspberry cheesecake which didn't have enough raspberry flavor but had a delicious crust. I will come back here the next time I'm in the area and try more. read more

I tried their carrot cake since it was the most recommended item. Very moist and delicious. Not my favorite carrot cake of all time, as I could skip the raisins; but it's a cute shop with good service. read more

I ordered a gluten free/dairy free cake for me & my husbands wedding anniversary based on the amazing reviews left online. Upon pickup, the service was wonderful, gave us instructions on how to handle & service the cake properly. And the shop has beautiful decor to match. But I was only able to tolerate one bite of a $50 cake. It was overly dry, extremely sweet and not something I ever want to taste again. After seeing my reaction, my husband wouldn't even try it. read more

Crème de la Cocoa had so many incredible treats that I wasn't prepared for the selection! I had to grab the macarons, Snickers cheesecake, and PB&J cookies, and let me just say--each one was absolutely delicious. The PB&J cookie had the perfect balance of sweet and nutty, and the Snickers cheesecake was rich, creamy, and indulgent. The shop itself is beautifully set up, and the display case alone is enough to make you want one of everything! Great service, amazing desserts--I'll definitely be back. read more

I would give them 10 stars if I could. Beautiful pastries that are ALL made there! The baker and own has been on television shows and we saw why! He offers a number of sensational gluten free items as well. Prices seem fair for the size and quality. I am not GF and had a butterscotch pastry with a white chocolate-like whipped cream-topping. It was fantastic! The store is beautifully displayed with delicious chocolates and pastries. We only wish offered a sipping chocolate, but then he really does offer a plentiful selection. This MUST be on your wish list when you go to St. Augustine!! read more

If you are looking for a "sweet" little spot for all things dessert this is the spot in St. Augustine, FL. We stopped in for a "sweet treat" and come out with over $100 in everything sugary you can imagine. Handmade beautiful chocolates, macarons, cake slices, ice cream, cotton candy, outstanding marshmallows, just so much fun I choose from. They even had gluten free options of desserts, chocolates, macarons!!! What delightful little shop not in the craziness of old St Augustine but just a couple minutes away. We will definitely be coming each trip we make to the area. read more

Crème de la Cocoa is an elevated bake shop experience in Saint Augustine. Not only are the baked good delicious, they are art. You may go in with the intention of "just looking" but you'll come out with something. The first time, I purchased the Nutella cookie with crème in the middle. It was amazing, I was tempted to get it again. Then I passed the cake window and saw the Southern Belle. A fantastic creation of thinly chocolate-covered Pecan pie with white chocolate mousse topping. Pecan pie is super sweet, it's why I love it. The addition of the white chocolate mousse balances it perfectly. One of the best desserts I've had. The shop is clean, the displays beautiful and the staff always welcoming and eager to serve. I highly recommend you make the drive just out of town to give this amazing bakery a try. read more

We ordered my wedding cake from them and it was amazing! After trying three other places and being told my design is challenging, this place told me it was no problem and their design and flavors delivered. Communication was spot on. Since we don't live in St Augustine we were able to get our one year tier vacuum sealed which was amazing too! read more

I had to update my review because both cakes held up great!!! Yes I have to update this review to 5 stars because it's usually unlikely for a fresh strawberry shortcake to hold up but Crème de la Cocoa cake held and was delish! The cake looked so beautiful and I especially enjoyed the Black Forest cake it was so moist and delish too! Also Bailey truly cares for her customers and offered to have a new complimentary fresh strawberry shortcake for me on 12/31 (even though they were not open for business)... wow, this was so kind and thoughtful of her!! However, graciously I declined this offer because I truly appreciate businesses that put their employees and customers first and I experienced that first hand with Crème de la Cocoa! Well done and please keep up the great work!! It's establishments like this that make America a kinder and better place to live in!! HAPPIEST NEW YEAR! read more

I was driving home from St. Augustine and decided to stop at this dessert shop along the way. It is just north of downtown St Augustine about one mile. The shop is very cute with tons of cookies, cakes, macaroons, and even ice cream. The staff were friendly and patient as I circled the shop a few times before deciding what to buy. Everything looked so good! read more

This is one of those places that you may think you'll stop in and only check them out, maybe do a little window shopping, well once you enter this space you ain't leaving emptied handed - there is something for everyone here no matter your taste be it sweet or savory. All my senses immediately went to DEFCON 1, there was no way I was leaving without a bag of goodies - the truffles are amazing (like no other), the cheese cakes in a cup is a must try (my favorite to date "blueberry") on the savory side who could resist the fresh baked crusty croissants (not me). Well I could of spent more time here exploring their offerings but I thought I had purchased a pretty good cross-section of what was on display. The prices here I feel are reasonable, I mean you are buying "edible art", the staff was wonderful and everything is packaged in beautiful containers that will protect whatever you buy until you reach your destination or in my case until the sampling began after I reached my vehicle. If I have any regrets it's that I should have gotten more, but there'll always be a next time because I won't visit the ancient city again without stopping in now that I've discovered where the true treasures lies... read more

Phenomenal cakes and service, the cakes are beautiful and taste just as good as they look. My husband got me the coconut creme cake for my birthday and it did not disappoint.

Made a point to stop by on our way into town for the day on Saturday. Have wanted to visit for a long time, but always end up skipping it because it's on the edge of the old city. Everything looked delicious, the shop was beautiful and service was friendly and fast. It was still very early in the day so we decided to only split a filled cookie. We chose the Nutella chocolate and it was so fantastic. Crispy cookie on the outside, chewy cookie on the inside and the most delicious cream in the middle. Everything they offered looked amazing and we will make a point to return and try more next time. read more

Crème de la Cocoa has a wide variety of treats, so if you're craving a slice of cake, cookies, sorbet, or gelato, this bakery has lots of options. I tried the Pistachio Lemon Raspberry dessert shot, Strawberry Shortcake Spice cake, and a cake that tasted similar to a cinnamon roll. All of the flavors were there when I tasted each of them, but they were too sweet. The interior is kept clean and it features a nice seating area and creative pastel decor! There were tons of friendly staff members on duty and we got our treats very quickly. All in all, Crème de La Cocoa is a cheerful place to stop by in St. Augustine if you like your desserts on the super sweet side! read more

Service is always great. The staff that works the counter is helpful and always offering tips answer questions about what is inside a dessert. Loved seeing the new counter seating area. It was really needed given the weather in Florida . But it is super for the tourist who come and want to stay a bit to enjoy their dessert since the shop always offers forks and napkins. This place is just beautiful and fun to be in. Of course the desserts are always changing to match the season which makes it fun for us locals! One of my favs here are the marshmallows and cotton candy! read more

I finally stopped in this beautiful treat shop. Wonderful service and yummy desserts. Their chocolate chip cookies are perfect! Great texture and taste just like it should! They have little flavor bombs with cute names and boy are they delicious. I will stock up on the salted caramel ones next time. Good macarons too. Decor is wonderful and I love their cute little straw shopping baskets which are also for purchase. read more

Every year a friend of mine buys a vegan cake from here for her daughter's birthday. Nothing about vegan sounds appealing to me, however the vegan cakes from here are by far my absolute favorite. They are moist and dense, full of flavor. They are a little pricey which is why for my children's birthday I don't buy their birthday cakes from there. But I would say if you are willing to spend the money, the cakes are worth the price. I have never interacted with the staff or purchased something from there myself, but have had their product t multiple times and I have never been disappointed. read more

They never disappoint! Everything is amazing !! What went well....EVERYTHING... I love to pick up some treats before I visit my my clients:) Carol Kotkin read more

Our family's go-to for cakes. They are always beautiful and delicious. Their daily dessert selections are also excellent .

I always love going to Creme De La Cocoa! They are my go-to for cakes for my family. Every time I go, though, I end up with a lot more than just my cake. They are kind and welcoming, and are always happy to answer any questions there may be. It is a very cute shop! read more

I don't even know where to start my review with Creme' de la cocoa. First off, I have not heard of this place until recently when I was searching for bakeries to do our wedding cake and I'm so glad we went this route. I emailed them in regards to making an appointment and they are quick to respond which I love! They make is super easy to book the appointment and choose what flavors we wanted to try. They charge $5 each flavor you wanted to try and that $5 is sooooo worth it! I was super excited on the day of our cake tasting since I love sweets! Creme de la cocoa is located on the other side of St. Augustine, I will say the calmer part lol they have enough parking spot which is really great for St. Augustine. When you come inside, I was a very happy girl! I think my eyes has hearts everywhere because the moment you step in you will see all the baked goods prepared in the middle of the store. on the corner side you will see their other products that they sell and they did an amazing job putting everything together. I couldn't focus at that moment because I wanted to see everything and try everything!! Employees was very friendly too! Then our tasting happened. We went to their private room which was so cute because they have the display of their cakes! We met Nick, owner and chef of the bakery. He introduced himself and we can tell that he is a wonderful person, then he brought a big tray of our cake sample and I kid you not! I want to have all the flavors lol it was good! all of the cakes was moist and the icing was a perfect combination. He even gave us a sample of their oatmeal cookie sandwich and we ended up ordering that as well for our reception. all in all, our experience here was indeed amazing. yes, it is a little bit pricey but there's a reason why, they are the best! now i wouldn't mind doing the drive to our house to st. augustine because of this bakery! if you are around this area or not this bakery is definitely a must try! they deserve 100x stars! read more

You drive by and the dramatic building calls you to stop and see what is going on inside. Cute and formal feel decor enhances the many beautiful desserts in the middle of the building. We selected a couple to share at $8 each, a Key Lime Pie topped with fresh berries and white chocolate and a slice of Bananas Foster cake. Both delicious. All desserts are decorated with toppings that are immaculately placed on each pie, cake and dessert. They truly are edible art and a quality product I would be happy to serve at a event or holiday gathering. read more

Came back here since I was craving some chocolate croissant. I ended up getting the regular, and the almond croissant too. They weren't open yet since I was a few minutes early but they were wonderful enough to let me in and serve. Croissants are made on Fridays and Saturdays ONLY, so I lucked out. I've had a variety of these croissants from grocery kinds, to Costco, to some mom and pop bakeries, and random streets in Paris. The croissant lived up to their gourmet quality reputation. It did NOT disappoint at all. The almond croissant had the almond paste filling from my every bite, roasted sliced almonds were crispy and went well with the airy, crispy outside and chewy inside perfectly buttery baked croissant. Switching over to the chocolate croissant, this too had the dark chocolate evenly distributed filling that you won't miss from every bite. Just imagine that. It was slightly glaze on the outside that made it crispy enough but not the messy kind, and chewy enough to enjoy it with almost a quarter in an inch rich dark chocolate in each bite. This is the first time in years that I've had a croissant moaning after every bite. LoL (true story) If you're the simple croissant type of fellow, the plain croissant also had that buttery taste that was flaky and airy. The size is also bigger in size but a tad dense, making it a filling one. My experience was great from letting me in early, serving it right out of their oven, plus my cravings for it. Seven stars for me on this Saturday morning croissant adventure. read more

I had Crème de la Cocoa recommended to me by my florist (angela'sflorals) for my wedding. I am so thankful that she did because everyone was such a pleasure to work with, especially Talia! I had to shift my wedding date around several times due to the military, and they were so patient and kind with me through it all. They created the most BEAUTIFUL wedding cake and an amazing groom's cake for our wedding. Not only this, but the flavors were absolutely amazing. I do not have enough kind things to say about Crème de la Cocoa. I am still hearing from family and friends how yummy it was as well. I am so blessed to have had the pleasure to work with them and to have their cakes be a part of my special day! read more
