We picked out the strawberry and blueberry lemonade bonbons, as well as the flourless chocolate cake because we're big chocolate lovers. The bonbons were light and refreshing with a very smooth ganache in the center. Beautiful design too! The chocolate cake is the richest I've ever indulged in! It was incredibly thick and I can't believe all of the chocolate truffles it's topped with. It pairs nicely with whipped cream. It's so dense that sharing a slice between the two of us is plenty. Fun for a treat and convenient that they can ship to the house.

From…read morechocolate creations to tea cups and cutlery to cute house decor, you can find thoughtful and unique gifts for everyone on your list. Tried two dark hot chocolates. The regular dark hot chocolate was simple and sweet. The pistachio dark hot chocolate had whipped cream and crushed pistachios on top. Besides that, there was no other pistachio flavor, which was disappointing and defeated the purpose of getting a seasonal specialty drink such as pistachio hot chocolate. The hot chocolates were more on the liquidy side, and I would've preferred for them to be thicker and to have a more pronounced flavor of chocolate. A bit too sweet for my liking, especially considering that we got dark chocolate. You'll be satisfied and done after a few sips due to how sugary this drink is. Staff are very friendly and helpful. No restroom.

I shopped there for a High Tea Party I am hosting (I want each of my guests to leave with a sweet treat). While I was there, I overheard another customer say "Every time I come in I am surprised with a new chocolate. It is so much fun to come and explore!" Another customer came in to get a cup of coffee and a chocolate as a treat to herself. As I was paying, I decided to treat myself to a chocolate that never made it home!

The only Belgium chocolatier in CT!…read more I have been seeing this place all of my Instagram and finally made my way down to Fairfield to try it. Let me tell you, it did not disappoint! First off, one of the owners Sylvie, is such a gem! She was the most kind person and shared so much about the business. You can tell she loves what she does. All of the other workers were just as lovely and helpful. There are so many chocolate items to choose from such as chocolate bars, ice cream, Belgium coffee/hot chocolate, and individual chocolate pieces. They have some samples for folks to try in case you don't know which one to get. My personal favorite was the Belgium flag chocolate as well as the cookie butter chocolate bar. Everything here tastes super gourmet. The space is a little small and only has 2 tables, so it doesn't make for a good place to hang out. But it's a good place to go if you ever want to watch someone make chocolate. You can see all of the stuff they make in house :) I would come back to get more goodies for myself and gifts for others!

I was happy about the place as soon as I laid eyes on it I was drawn to the kawaii all pink very girly aesthetic, the ambiance feels like a well lit all pink "Alice in teddy bear land" experience. I love that all deserts sold here are Brazilian in origin. They taste very good and some of them have the baker`s own twist and interpretation. The staff was very friendly, helpful and provided great assistance displaying very extensive knowledge of the sweets in display and made sure to let us know of their Savory options that are also available at selected times in the bakery. COCONUT CAKE- This is a well sized little to go tin cake. It has plenty of shaved coconut to give the cake the perfect coconut texture to the cake while at the same time having this moist cake with a nice well balanced body, creamy yet firm. They also have GUARANA, which is a very popular Brazilian soda made of the Guarana berries. My favourite! This place has it all right. I loved it and will come back.

From the cute name and decor, to the sweet owner Fernanda, who took a few minutes to tell me more about her business, everything in this shop is filled with meaning and love! Pink Sweets Cakes makes custom cakes but also offers a menu of other desserts that changes daily! They also offer PINK cappuccino and hot chocolate - how cute is that?!! I wasn't planning on buying dessert as I was in the mall, but couldn't pass up the shop as I walking by and ended up leaving with a pretty decent sized piece of tiramisu! I can't wait to go back and bring my 3 girls with me. I think they are going to love the decor, the desserts and the pink hot chocolate!

It could be a cold winter's night, and I'd still be seeking the hypothetical warmth and comfort of this cold and vibrant gelato. I didn't throw my hat on the table, as to not reveal myself as a bit of a gelato expert... but boy was I impressed with the knowledge and care of the product shown by the owners. The service was immaculate. Gracious greetings and a real rundown of what's available on the given night or day. My eyes set sight on the "Pi-stock-ee-o" ... for the Italians in the crowd. Lucious and creamy, met with the proper and desired coloring. Overly green pistachio gelato utilizes too much food coloring and usually doesn't even have real pistachios in them. This one clearly had real pistachios by the looks - and spoiler alert - could confirm by the taste. (She also divulged that they import their pistachios from the homeland in order to get this lovely textured tasty triumph. Love the respect for the game.) My galpal had the salted caramel which she was thoroughly impressed with. As was I. We also had some sorbet samplings, which they are more than happy to hand out! Would've been delightful choices as well. But folks, this pistachio is the best I've had in the US of A. I don't say that lightly. Couldn't recommend this new establishment more. Has been open since April 2025, and hopefully open for much longer. New go-to spot in Westchester - A county lacking a top dawg might've just gotten one. A clear, objective, undisputed 5/5. Linguini WILL be back, and he will bring a crowd.

These chocolates are homemade from Vermont, with a couple of them made in-store (the chocolate-covered Oreo, included). Love their salted dark caramel and marshmallow-dark caramel chocolates.

Went there on a beautiful day, a perfect day for ice cream. Going in here is a huge hike for us being that we live 40 miles away. It's always a highlight to go, and we always order large cups when we go. Keep in mind this place is not a bargain, you generally get what you pay for and this place has always been worth it except for this trip. And with all my excitement, I neglected to see how much gelato was left for one of the flavors I ordered, and it was the bottom of the barrel-instead of the young gentleman talking me out of the flavor, he gingerly scraped up with all his might whatever was left in the bottom, then proceeded to ask me if I wanted a flavor that was similar to it... Shame on me I said no, and he proceeded to give me the other flavor I had asked for which is a chocolate brownie. As he scooped, I said you know what give me some of the cappuccino please-he huffed and puffed and arrogantly told me he could no longer do it... Why? You've only done a couple scoops of chocolate what's the big deal. Asking him a question it was like I was asking him a life ending favor. He then huffed as he took my husband's order. As we both ate our ice creams we were very mystified that it was lacking the flavors that it once had. True, we both had tried new flavors that we never had before, but it didn't have the same texture and it was overly sweet. Secondly, my husband got their waffle cone. Now let's talk about how the boy neglectfully scooped that waffle cone... He didn't put any ice cream in the cone only slapped a ball on top - that was it. The ice creams came out to $16 and honestly the waffle cone was flavorless! My husband wound up throwing it away as it probably was one of the worst waffle clones he's ever had. Maybe we need a break but we definitely need a break from that young gentleman who took our order... He needs a little polish refresher course on how to be a little more cordial and Little accommodating. Thank God for the tip cup! As for the parking, it's hell, absolutely satanic but that is not reflective of the rating. You are at the mercy of street parking and not easy to find.

I am however, a chocolate fiend. So when I noticed The Pod by Cocoa Compassion on Cedar St in Dobbs Ferry not far from where hubs and I had our antique+vintage shop, I had to visit. The Pod by Cocoa Compassion's owner- Joy is 100% in support of working closely with family-run cacao farmers in The Caribbean, some Central American countries and Africa and sourcing the best quality chocolate bars and powders to these neck of the woods and beyond. What's more, the owner donates a portion of her profits to charitable organizations in NYC. With her chocolate, the owner bakes her own delicious 'Compassion Chocolate Cookies' that are filled with scrumptious dark chocolate chunks, other pastries and her hot chocolate- which is to-die for. When you come to The Pod, you're actually home: sit on the sofa lounge a bit if you want and strike up a conversation with the owner- who's a hoot and damn well knows her cacao. I learned a thing or two maybe three because of her. The shelves are stocked with dark chocolate bars and powders for purchase and specialty gift items as well. By the way, Joy rents(?) the small space up front for pop-up events+vendors selling their handmade jewelry, silk scarves, etc.- just double-check if this is something she's still doing. If you're looking for somewhere to have a tasty hot chocolate, want to indulge in a one of her cookies or come in for the positive vibes, The Pod is a must.
