Well, a chocolate lover and a box of chocolates are basically magnets.. so when I spotted Chocolate…read moreSmiles, resisting was never really an option. They have a huge variety of chocolates, from dark to sweet, fruity ones to even alcohol-infused chocolates YUM!! I got a few alcohol truffles and some dark chocolates and couldn't even wait a day to finish them. The owner is super sweet and took her time explaining all the different chocolates they have. She even gave me a free dark chocolate truffle to try. Also great for gifting. Chocolate lovers, definitely check this place out!

I'd like to come back one day and try the frozen hot chocolate from the coffee shop, unfortunately it was closed when we went.

Videri is on the right serving $$$ non-coffee drinks - soft-serve, confections/ chocolates and other trinkets. You can get a sample (smaller than Kisses, maybe 1/3 of it) if you answer the questionnaire about stuff you'll find inside the museum, which is at the back portion of the building. Imagine doing a u-shape walk in a small room with frames on the wall. There wasn't a production when we came, would have been sweet! Kind of didn't feel as welcoming because they all looked plain and somehow serious (maybe tired at noon-ish). Would I recommend for first-timers? Yes, if you are already in the area. I'll definitely be back in Raleigh but 50/50 if I want to bring guests there again. Also, we walked to the factory from the Capitol but there's parking around the area since there are other food spots too.

Amongst my favorite places and local businesses. Just an absolute gem of an establishment. The…read morechocolates are not only delightfully tasty, they look absolutely stunning, making for great gifts or even treats for yourself. I just love that they are truly bean to bar (you can literally watch them sit and sort the beans, grind them, make the chocolate and all other steps of the process). The staff is incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and efficient -- and while prices are a tad higher than your basic chocolates, they are reasonable for the high quality of premium treats you are going to get Just an additional thing I did not mention in my previous review: Their packaging is also great. Not only do they print off the individual names of chocolates you got if you make a box, there is a QR code which when you scan, takes you to the visual and descriptive online guide of all their flavors. Highly, highly recommend, and cannot see any reason why I would not make efforts to continue returning!

Great presentation but some were hit or miss on my pallet. Others may like them however. Other customers mentioned they all pretty much incorporate dark chocolate.

We were walking through Lafayette Village and stumbled on the Chocolate Boutique. Store smells…read moreheavenly. We were confused by their pricing but went ahead and picked quite a few prepackaged chocolates. Wanted to buy a gift certificate but the sales person did not know how to do it. We later found that none of the bags were labeled with the type of chocolate inside! We had about 8 different bags. The real disappointment is that many of the chocolates were stale. I'm embarrassed because i gifted a couple of the bags. Honestly not worth buying from this store. I really wanted to love our purchases.

The service is fast and friendly, however the shakes (the hubs and I tried the cookies and cream and the birthday cake shakes) were just ok. Not bad, not great, just right there in the middle where at about halfway through, you toil over whether you should finish it or save your calories. I tapped out early, and I'm a sucker for a cake batter almost anything if that tells you anything. The photo station was a fun touch. The Cary locals appear to be smitten with this place as people piled in after us. For me, MilkShake Factory delivered more aesthetics and stellar location than flavor. You be the judge. Cheers!

Having been here a few times and Asali is always amazing! Asali is a family-run spot offering…read moreMediterranean treats and Middle Eastern-inspired coffee and tea. The space is fairly large and they stay open late (until 11 PM on weekends), making it a great place to hang out with friends or stop by to satisfy a sweet tooth during a night out. I've purchased their macarons as gifts, tried several desserts here and to-go, grabbed coffee and stayed to do work, and even stopped by for lunch. Their light bites are quite tasty, and I especially enjoy their phyllo-dough pastries. Their latte options are great--the flavors are creative yet still approachable, and the syrup options are delicious. Service is attentive and efficient. There's always a big team behind the counter, and instead of calling names, they give you a number and bring food or drinks directly to your table, which is so thoughtful! They can get quite busy at times - lots of families and big groups stop by to hang out. I enjoy the community it brings, though sometimes this is not the most ideal place to get work done. Highly recommend Asali for anyone looking to try creative desserts, a great cup of latte!

Ambiance was just average, lots of people working and studying occupied most tables, service is friendly, the Napoleon seemed to be old with strange texture with no flavor, my husband ordered a cheese cake and said the same thing.

It was a huge disappointment and we won't be back, spent almost $40 for two not good slices of cake, a pot of tea, totally not worth it! Food: 1 Service: 4 Ambiance: 3
