Of course, I had to take a peak inside. It is a charming chocolate shop with every kind of chocolate imaginable from chocolate candies, to chocolates in the shape of crabs and bees, to chocolate diplomas for graduates. They also serve a large selection of coffee's, teas, and lattes. Aoife waited on me and she was truly delightful. I ordered a latte with amaretto flavor and a caramel drizzle. I also bought some chocolate covered pretzels. It is a lovely shop with plenty of places to sit comfortably and have conversations. I really enjoyed my latte and chocolate treats. I highly recommend you stop by. I am definitely going back soon.

This place had plenty of varied seating as there are window seats, sofa chairs, table and chairs, and outdoor seating available. It was fairly quiet inside so this place could serve as a pretty nice study spot. There are plenty of board games available on some shelves by the window if you and your friends are interested in that option! Drink Lavender Lemonade 6/10 Since I didn't see any chocolates that I wanted to try I ended up getting just a lavender lemonade drink. I liked that you could taste the lavender, however, the lemonade was on the sweeter side and I prefer a more tart lemonade. I did order a large cup but I'm pretty sure they gave me a small cup instead.

Rats. Literal rats. This place is lipstick on a pig. I walked in and was impressed by the…read morebeautiful chocolates and design but was immediately put off because when I went to inhale the smell of a chocolate shop it smelled like a litter box instead. So I asked if there was a cat in the shop. The shop assistant said no but there's a rat problem in the building and then she looked up at the lightning fixture over the counter. I looked up too and could visibly see rat droppings all over it. Unfortunately I noticed this as I was paying for my chocolates. And I tried to be humble and gracious and just ate them anyway. They were delicious. But why the heck has America lost its decency? I'd like to know who the owner of this property is and why they seem to either hate their tenants. This chocolate shop should sue and county inspectors should fine the property owners heavily. And perhaps they should get a shop cat. It could only help.

The variety of flavors is mind boggling. I tasted the chocolate truffles and I was in heaven. Rich, soft, sweet, and creamy. The best part is that it is Gluten free, egg free, non dairy, and only sweetened with natural sugar. The flavors and colors are so amazing. They offer gift boxes, where you can customize the different kinds of fudge. They also have an assortment of gifts to grab and go. They had some jewelry and electric handheld massagers. Also, stuffed animals for the kids. Service was fabulous. I already know which flavors I am choosing for my Thanksgiving dinner hostess gift. Prices are reasonable, you can get an 8 pack for $16.00. I was so impressed with this new shop. Located in Montgomery Westfield Mall, they are a gem.

The ones made with liquor are especially tasty. We were welcomed and serviced with friendly staff. Even though the shop seemed a bit low in stock , but we were able to pick out a pack of 10 delicious pieces These chocolates are on the slight pricey side $33 for 10 pieces. But worth it, you can taste the quality in it. Do recommend @WineDinenVacay

The service is okay -- not overly friendly or especially helpful, but not bad either. It gets the job done. The pistachio chocolate croissant is really good -- definitely one of my favorites there. I just wish they posted when the pastries are made throughout the day. I asked once about timing and didn't really get a clear answer, and it would be nice to know when things are freshest. Also, their London Fog steamer is delicious and perfectly comforting. Overall, a great little bakery with some standout items -- just a bit more communication and warmth in service would easily make this a five-star experience.

After dinner one night, we walked around downtown Bethesda and happened upon Henry's Sweet Retreat…read more Luckily, we saved room for dessert, and Henry's hit the spot. We got a blueberry pop tart, and some raspberry scones, along with a chocolate covered vanilla cupcake. Yummy! The only problem is that Henry's is not just a dessert bakery - the store may appear tiny on the outside, but it's huge on the inside. In addition to the bakery, they got all kinds of candy and other goodies for sale. I gotta stop back in another day and try all the other good stuff inside. Plus, you can tell from the Rick Astley-inspired sign outside, Henry's has a great sense of humor. This is exactly what small business brings to the neighborhood. Stop by and visit Henry's Sweet Retreat - you'll be glad you did!

The small sundaes were huge! Kids could not finish them and at $7ish each hard to beat for the quality! I had an eggnog cupcake. I was not sure it would be good but whatever magic y'all put in it worked great together! The frosting was light and fluffy not too sweet not too bland. And the cake was moist, not crumbly, not heavy just perfect! Had a latte with soymilk because my belly does not care for milk in coffee. Local coffee company supplies the beans. They also have pretty much any kind of candy, pies, and sweets you might need and apparently they cater! Stop in you will not regret it...unless you do not like sweets and then I am sorry.

Not only did the fudge pair well with the beer, but each one (tried 4) was delicious. They were all smooth, creamy, and not super rich. I like how creative the flavors are. Although I enjoyed all 4 pieces I tried, my favorite was a tie between the spicy mango and strawberry balsamic. Loved the slight heat the spicy mango gave, with the spice coming through right at the end of each bite. I thought the strawberry balsamic would be my least favorite, but it was so good. I liked how both had fruit pieces in them. I definitely plan to order more fudge from The Chocolatier's Palette in the near future. Be sure to check out their website periodically as the flavors change every 2-3 weeks. Local pickup (I believe near Grosvenor metro) or shipping is available.

The pistachio is fresh and the chocolate is high quality. There are places selling v these for $20 that are clearly made in a home kitchen with supermarket melting wafers, but this is the real deal. Having initially ordered the milk chocolate we immediately returned for a dark chocolate version. We have since even returned for another. Are the other goodies wonderful? Perhaps. I'm sure they are amazing. It's this bar, though, that drew me inside and for which we've returned. The store is clean and cute. The staff is friendly and patient. The price is reasonable when the quality is considered. Very satisfied.
