Super cute little cafe! Nice amount of seating available. Loved they have a great variety of drinking chocolates and truffles. Also love that you can get a drinking chocolate flight. This comes in a set of 3 mini sizes. Staff was super accommodating and very patient with my decision paralysis of trying to choose flavors. They had great recommendations and our order was up quickly. Tried the hazelnut, semi sweet, and cardamom rose. Really enjoyed it! The marshmallows are also house made and were delish! Tried the truffle of the week, Baileys and they also had a line of brewery inspired flavors, so I tried the Clementine Cider. One also random star of the show is the well stocked washroom! Equipped with ample space, changing table, baby wipes, diapers, sanitary pads and tampons. Kudos for being well stocked for all the ladies and mamas out there! Can't wait to come back to try the other drinking chocolates! read more

The semisweet hot chocolate is the BEST hot chocolate I have ever had in my entire life. I also tried the salted caramel drinking chocolate, which is fabulous, and the bittersweet drinking chocolate, which is also good but my least favorite of the three flavors I've tried so far. They always have fun seasonal truffles and marshmallows. The cranberry marshmallows are particularly tasty. I highly recommend this place and applaud them for the courage in their convictions too. read more

This is Review: 1234 - couldn't resist!!!! Stopped into this establishment after Diva Dance to celebrate one of our members birthday. We grabbed some divine hot chocolate. I opted to try the goat cheese walnut dark chocolate while they prepared my drinking chocolate. My candy was delicious and goat cheese pair well with the chocolate. For my drinking chocolate, I got the Koval Bourbon Drinking Chocolate with Salted Caramel Marshmallow. It was fantastic and a nice warm up to frigid temperatures outside. All in all, a good way to warm up. Lots of options for food. On this occasion it was pretty packed but everyone was in jolly moods considering the holiday season. read more

If you like sipping chocolate, this might be the best in Chicago. It comes thick, creamy and with a housemade marshmallow that makes it nice and smooth. It's just a small location, and they make every cup to order. Really cozy for a morning with a friend, or a pick me up in the afternoon. Give it a try, and grab a chocolate on the way out! read more

Really cute spot in Logan Square area. It has about 16 seats total in the cafe with tables that seat 2-4 and couches as well. The drinking chocolate costs $7 for 8 oz which is a bit pricey, but it's really decadent and full of flavor. Plus it comes with one of their home made marshmallows. I got the bitter sweet with a salted caramel marshmellow. The chocolate flight is definitely worth it, you get 3 hot chocolates to try for $13. They also sell truffles and drinking mixes of their hot chocolate. I'll definitely be back if it's in the middle of winter and I'm craving a warm, chocolate drink. The staff are really friendly and nice. There was just one person working when I went in on a Wednesday afternoon. They have a restroom in the back that's open to customers. read more

We came here in a whim for some hot chocolate. This place is cozy inside with some seating but it was pretty crowded when we stopped inside. We decided to order a hot chocolate flight and picked the peppermint, Mexican chocolate, and super dark. While waiting for our order, we were able to snag a table. Every hot chocolate we tried was decent but my personal favorite was the peppermint. I would definitely stop by again just for that. This place was lively with lots of people stopping in while we were there. Definitely a fun place to check out during the holiday season! read more

I was so excited to visit this place while in Chicago. My friend and I went on a cold January night for hot chocolate. We had the flight of hot chocolate and I have to say the dark chocolate and peanut butter were my favorites. The regular hot chocolate was a bit too sweet for me, but still tasty. All of them were so rich I don't think I could finish a small. I will come back when in Chicago. read more

Cute spot to meet a friend for a cold sandwich or a decadent hot chocolate. Not many seats, but super cozy and lots of gift options available to take with. Quick and friendly service, plus you can see the magic being made in the open kitchen just behind the counter. But back to the hot chocolate. It's so incredibly decadent! We opted to split a cup, which they absolutely do and even let you both pick out a marshmallow, and it was plenty! So good. read more

Lordy Lordy Lordy. Katherine Anne!.... You did something right here. This place is amazing for the chocolate lovers, tea connoisseurs and marshmallows fanatics. I came in on a bright early Saturday morning and the server and barista was fabulous. I had a million questions and she answered them all with a huge smile on her face. I really enjoyed the passion fruit ginger truffle and there was a unique combination of flavors with the goat cheese walnut dark chocolate ganache. Worth the indulge and try. The hot chocolate flight is definitely for folks who can't decide, want to try something new or want to tip toe into the world of hot chocolate. I tried the semisweet, Mexican and hazelnut. Hands down Hazelnut is the best! Top tier stuff. All the chocolates are made in hot and are excellent quality. No fake stuff here. I recommend stopping in. You won't regret it. read more

What a delightful experience. The location on Irving Park is quaint, charming and cozy. I purchased some delicious gourmet marshmallows and cups of drinking hot chocolate which was rich, creamy and heavenly. The Mexican chocolate with homemade cinnamon sugar marshmallow was something people dream of. Soooo good. Lunch selections looked amazing. I can't wait to go back. read more

I just discovered this heavenly shop with my son and daughter-in-law (I'm from the burbs). So far I've had the lemon ginger caramel, a matcha apricot chocolate, a grapefruit tarragon chocolate and have been completely surprised and delighted with each bite!!! I told the kids this is what they can get me when gifts are called for!! read more

The hot chocolate flight is one of my favorite things to get in the winter. The salted Carmel was my fav

Such a cute place. The girl at the counter was so nice and friendly. They have many chocolate flavors to choose from for your custom hot chocolate. They even have vegan hot chocolate. If you don't like milk, they will substitute with Almond, coconut, and other kinds of milks. There hot chocolate flavors to select from are s'mores, classic, hazelnut, etc. They also have a few selections of salads and sandwiches, and an assortment of small chocolates and truffles. This is not your typical served cup of hot chocolate, oh no, their hot chocolate is actually the real thing! The actual chocolate. There is no cheap chocolate powdered stuff here. It's literally chocolate melted into a beautiful smooth tasty authentic cup of true hot chocolate with marshmallows if you want. It's so gooodddd! Im going back and I'm going to try the chocolate flight. You get to taste three different hot chocolates. If you are in the area this is a must stop for a never before experience of a true cup of chocolate. You will not be disappointed. This place is a chocoholic dream! read more

This is a cool little spot that is really quiet if you're looking for something sweet while you're working or need some 'alone' time! ;) I did get the bittersweet chocolate (drink) which was not at thick as I thought but still very rich and thankfully not more sweet than it was otherwise it'd be too overwhelming. I was debating going completely dark but, after having this one, I'm wondering if that would be a little too bitter for me. They did have a really interesting selection of truffles, of which I bought several as a gift. I'm hoping I'll have a chance to try some of these as they look delicious. read more

This is the best hot chocolate in the city. I frequently look for hot CHOCOLATE. Not like milk with chocolate but chocolate. And this is it. This is THICK and luscious. It's SO GOOD and frankly unmatched. They have many flavors and if you can't choose get the flight! I LOVE dark chocolate and feel like the semisweet is perfectly dark without being too dark. In addition, they make their own marshmallows... which come with their hot chocolate! They also come in many different flavors, I chose peppermint. I did size it wrong. The 13 Oz is too big for any one person... maybe if you're sharing. Stick with 7 oz. I am in chocolate heaven right now typing this but will be back. The staff is lovely, the place is well staffed so you don't wait to long even if the small store is busy :). read more

Drinking Chocolate! It's like hot chocolate but way more creamy & rich. I got the flight of 3 different drinking chocolates: Koval, Mexican, and Gingerbread. Honestly, they were all delicious. My husband got a 7oz of the Koval, and he didn't finish his because he found the drinking chocolate too rich. I drank all of mine, though. The cafe itself was very cute. There were a few tables and one couch area. At 3pm on a Friday, there were multiple available tables, but I can't speak to the morning or weekend availability. Great way to warm up in the city! read more

The honey based marshmallows were delicious. My wife gets these cravings for artisanal foods. Small batch and superior quality with the most valuable ingredient being able to taste the love and thoughtfulness of the confectioner's love of marshmallows and creating an incredible finished product. A rare niche market. The service was impeccable because the love that exists in the kitchen permeates the staff that deliver these wonderful confections. The space is quaint and comfortable, especially considering the paucity of such places in this neighborhood. A wonderful oasis. read more

Wowwww! This chocolate specialty is amazing! There are variety of the flavors and assortments. I had the hot chocolate which is sooo good! And, the cookie one with some kind of spice is also great! It's heaven for chocolate lover! read more

I stopped in on a rainy afternoon and was the only person in the shop. I was greeted with an extremely friendly cashier who helped me decide what kinds of truffles and drinking chocolate I should get for my spouse. I ended up with a semisweet drinking chocolate with a salted caramel and champagne marshmallow, plus 4 kinds of truffles. We really enjoyed the carrot cake and goat cheese ones! It's a pretty small space but has tables for people to go and get drinking chocolate flights. We'll definitely be back for that! read more

2 hot chocolates and 1 marshmallow for $16. The prices have gone up and they haven't even bothered to change them on the sign that's outside. The woman making our drinks was touching everything in the kitchen, including putting her fingers in her ears to itch it with no gloves. She then decided to put all of her fingers in our cups before serving the drinks to us. I ordered a peanut butter hot chocolate and a hazelnut hot chocolate. The hazelnut one was so salty it tasted like I was drinking yogurt, and the peanut butter one was too bitter because she torched it for way too long. I would not care if the prices were not so high but for the price you would expect not only the best hot chocolate but at least some type of sanitary. Don't try everything that goes viral. read more

Not only were the workers incredibly sweet, but the hot chocolate was also unbelievably delicious. do you remember that scene in The Simpsons Movie where Flanders makes an unreal cup of hot chocolate for Bart? This experience was just like that for me. The hot chocolate was so rich--I opted for the semisweet version with gingerbread marshmallows, and it was mind-blowing. I also tried a smores cookie, which was equally amazing. I would recommend getting the smallest size of hot chocolate as it is quite heavy :) I will definitely be back! read more

This place is such a gem. Little store front with a handful of antique like seating options. We tried the flight of drinking chocolate ( more decadent than hot chocolate although that's available too if you are looking for something not as Decadent ) . For the flight, you chose 3 from a total of 7 options. We went with milk, semi sweet and salted Carmel and also got a Mexican drinking chocolate as well . Ordered the ham and cheddar " bread" which was like an open faced sandwich which came with 2 housemate careless . Everything was great- I'll be back! read more

I love it when places go super bold on their flavors without worrying about whether it's going to be too much. Drinking their lavender hot chocolate on a summers' day was like submerging my whole being in an herb garden. And when I returned to try a flight, the basil had the same effect - just in a DIFFERENT herb garden. The salted caramel was like diving headfirst into the center of one of those Ben & Jerry's ice creams where the core is solid caramel, and the hazelnut was reminiscent of those shame-spiral Nutella-eating-off-a-spoon days. The drinking chocolates are so rich that I would say a half a flight is enough, and when I ordered a regular size, I had to store half of it in the fridge for the next day. read more

I love this place. The drinkable chocolate is rich and satisfying. Get the smallest ad it's really a lot. :)

One of a kind confections. Vegan options too! The homemade marshmallows are amazing. The truffles were decadent. We will definitely be back for hot chocolate and goodies. Street parking & out door seating read more

Hmm I had been wanting to try this place for so long after someone told me it's the best hot chocolate in chicago. Maybe sipping chocolate is too much for me and I should've done the hot cocoa version. We each had a milk sipping chocolate with a marshmallow and although I enjoyed my drink, it may have been a bit too decadent for me. But I'm also not a chocolate lover so take this with a grain of salt! The interior is cute and simple. Service could've been a bit better. Maybe I would return to give it another chance! read more

Katherine Anne Confections - Sipping chocolate with salted caramel marshmallow - Chocolatiers & Shops Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Cute cafe. The cashiers were nice and answered my questions. I ordered the hot chocolate flight. Now if you have never been the hot chocolate that is "Chicago Style" is pure thick chocolate drink, and it will be a rich type of sweet just to let you know (I missed this signage, so I didn't know). You can get it "Hot Cocoa" style, if you don't want it that thick. I tried Mexican hot chocolate (had a cinnamon marshmallow), hazelnut (sweet side), and bittersweet (more my speed). I also brought additional marshmallows: flavors were rose, Earl grey (fragrant flavor-only one I tried so far), and salted caramel. read more

Probably my favorite chocolate place in the city! It's such a lovely shop - I feel like I get their full attention every time I'm here. People who work here genuinely care for their customers and they always give honest and useful advice on the orders. I've been here twice with my family and tried their flight of any 3 ($9) with different combinations of flavors. Their drinking chocolate were so rich and flavors were intense. They can also have a number of vegan options which I believe that use different ganache. The flights were paired with marshmallows of various flavors. Their truffle s were also really good but on the sweater side. Can't wait to come back soon! read more

This is a tiny spot - on a gloomy Saturday afternoon we had to wait for a table, which was totally worth it. The ganaches and caramels were so good, as was the drinking chocolate. We tried the Hazelnut, which was outstanding. We also tried the Super Dark. Though this was good, it was a little bitter - which was expected based on the high % of cocoa. Next time I will try the semisweet! read more

I first discovered Katherine Anne several years ago for their amazing salted caramel marshmallows, after learning they usually use honey instead of corn syrup in their recipes. Then I kind of moved along. Then recently I became interested in hot chocolate and Katherine Anne came up in my searches. I've tried the yummy salted caramel/hazelnut/FEW bourbon hot chocolate, and most of the "primary" hot chocolate flavors, all have been rich and satisfying and I appreciate the complimentary choice of homemade marshmallow. I also tried a few of the truffles recently and was impressed by the subtle flavors and generous size of the truffles. For some reason a lot of local and "fine" chocolate makers seem to attempt to miniaturize their candies but Katherine Anne proudly offers almost-two-bite size chocolates. I like the use of white chocolate (which I still consider "real" chocolate unlike chocolate snobs) in a few of their flavors including the lemon poppyseed. The only change I would prefer is if they had some small tongs to utilize when placing the truffles you select into a bag, instead of their bare fingers. Other than that, I think I will probably start giving a box of Katherine Anne truffles and their salted caramel marshmallows as gifts starting soon! read more

Easy 5 stars.... I'm not a hot cocoa fan at all since most is lackluster and almost didn't get one... but dang this is what you WISH and want your hot cocoa at home to taste like. So perfect and the extra element of picking your flavored marshmallow on top is even better. Cozy spot, huge chocolate election, surprisingly good hot cocoa. read more

WOW!! ......Is an understatement! This place is a praise-worthy chocolate truffle extraordinaire. Artistry meets delicacy and variety. I love the complimentary flavors they concoct. Sold in boxes of 2 or 4 or 7 or 16, are truffles that you can choose the flavors of individually for yourself. The menu interested me to come back and try their hot chocolate flights and after having their delightfully crafted truffles I know I will surely be back "... and maybe sooner than I even anticipated ;) read more

During these uncertain times, the concept of self-care is being discussed much more frequently. And if you're looking for the ultimate in self-care, I can only encourage you to get yourself to Katherine Anne Confections ASAP for some drinking chocolate. Quarantine, shwarantine. Whatever your problems are will soon be forgotten once you lose yourself in the rich drinking chocolate served up by smiling faces in a quaint space. The only downside to this place is that there are only a handful of seats inside. But hey, silver lining right? None of us can dine-in right now anyway. Their truffles and caramels are good, but it's their hot chocolate or drinking chocolate that is truly driving this five-star rating. This is not that watery hot chocolate or even the creamy hot chocolate made with milk, this is drinking chocolate - buttery, thick and rich, with a consistency closer to melted chocolate than hot milk. It is roll-your-eyes-back-in-your-head-and-moan-out-loud good. If you are a chocoholic, this is your heaven. The first time you go, you should absolutely get a tasting flight of the drinking chocolates so that you can try the exotic and seasonal blends. They have at least 12 different drinking chocolate flavors on the menu at any given time - a mix of classic traditional chocolate flavors at varying "intensity" levels, a batch of seasonals, and always some vegan options. Each one comes topped with a different flavored marshmallow (also made in house) and sometimes a small garnish. While the seasonals are exciting, for me, it is their bittersweet hot chocolate that is the rock star. This is the flavor that is *my* ultimate chocoholic indulgence. We've never had problems finding a street parking space out front. The storefront is also only a couple of blocks from the 606, so it's easy to go for a scenic walk afterwards to burn off some of those self-care calories. read more
