A great option for coffee, chai, chocolate, and cake in the downtown Saint Paul skyway. The staff is so friendly and clearly takes pride in the store. I got a hot chai - they make their own and you can definitely tell from the flavor. read more

Legacy Chocolates - Chai. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Saint Paul, Minnesota

Thanks to my job this past year, I have spent several weeks in St. Paul. Because two of those weeks were during colder, winter months, I was advised to avoid leaving the skywalk when I went out for lunch, coffee, or anything else. A few near-by skywalk retailers were not open in 2013, when my co-workers first began staying in St. Paul for work, making the trek for coffee or food longer and more generic (Caribou, for example). By Fall 2014, when I began my one-year term, the closer retailers had opened. One of those retailers is Legacy Chocolates. To start, the location is perfect: I work(ed) for the court, and Legacy is basically around the corner of the court on the skywalk system. The walk is no more than five minutes, which makes quick coffee/sweet runs easy. Coffee is not Legacy's specialty, but they do serve it quickly, pour-over style, and in large cups. They also have a nice variety of light- to dark roasts, which I appreciate; sometimes you need a bigger caffeine kick than other times. The specialty, obviously, is the sweets. From tarty lemon bars, to decadent (HUGE) slices of German chocolate cake, to chocolate truffles ranging from around 40% to 100% cacao, Legacy has it all. All the good are house made (you can see them at work through the windows), and they are damn delicious. I don't have much of a sweet tooth, but I couldn't help buying a treat most visits. Last, the owners (Lorraine and Mark) are small-business scale, having moved to St. Paul recently, though I can't remember where they were before. They are great, friendly folks and are great at what they do. Go and support your local business (and your even-more-local sweet tooth)! read more

I love Legacy Chocolates! Wonderful staff and great beverages. On nice days try their chocolate milk shake, so delicious! I also love their white chocolate carrot cake!! If you need a great pick me up (which means a great piece of chocolate) and fantastic service, go to Legacy Chocolates you will be well taking care of! read more

Legacy Chocolates is such a wonderful gem in downtown St. Paul. I LOVE their pour-over coffee - it is so much better than the typical coffee from Caribou. I have tried a few of their baked goods and I've thoroughly enjoyed each of them. I can't say enough about the positive experiences I have encountered with the employees and the products at this shop. Try it! read more

The owners and staff are so friendly. It's always such a pleasure to chit chat while they are getting your order together. The chocolates are to die for! The muffins are always so fresh and a good size! I'll be moving out of the neighborhood and won't have the convenience of coming by as often, but will make it a point to visit when I can. I'll miss this place! read more

This place was such a welcome surprise! I was exploring the skyway in St. Paul and happened upon it--I'm so glad I did! The staff were so wonderful and helpful when I was deciding what house made treat I wanted to try. I decided to get the cherry cream cheese brownie and a cup of decaf coffee. Their coffees are always made one cup at a time, whether you want a pour over, French press, or any of their espresso drinks. The brownie was the best I've ever had and the coffee was hot and comforting. I sat at a table just outside the shop to enjoy it. I'm definitely going to go back. The brownies are just too good and the staff is so kind! read more

You feel like YOU found the golden ticket when you stop here!! The staff are amazing and the chocolate----need I even say THE BEST!! The best way to start your morning is with Legacy read more

Can't rave enough about this place! I've been going here for almost a year. Every time I'm blown away by their pour over coffee (with every cup) and their personable and friendly staff! read more

Had a coconut smoothie today. It was DELISH! My co worker asked me to grab her an iced latte from Caribou and I grabbed it from Legacy instead. She said it was the best Latte she has ever had. We love you, Legacy Chocolates! read more

This was so worth finding. I wandered around, it's on the 2nd floor of an orange building. The hotel recommended it for a lovely cup of coffee and wow, it was delicious. Not expensive, either. Hope this little place can survive the pandemic. The chocolates looked amazing. read more

The BEST chocolates, period. What a find in Lowertown close to Mears Park. The first time I had one of their delectable truffles, my eyes rolled back into my head. I had their 85% dark with raspberry which was amazing. I love that they offer each of their truffles with a wide range of chocolate percentages to meet everyone's different tastes. This is a really fun way for yourself to try a variety of different combinations. I had the mint truffle with the 65%, which seemed to be the perfect balance. They make a flavor called Himalayan caramel, and it's a rich caramel with a hint of Himalayan salt- out of this world. I also tried the 99% espresso truffle which was very dark and sultry, but not bitter as some chocolate are when the % gets so high. Each of their truffles comes packaged in an air tight container for freshness. I like that each of the truffles I had, "snapped" as you bit into it, this is a sign of a really well made truffle. For a unique treat, I recommend their sipping chocolate. It's a rich and creamy chocolate drink that comes packaged like chocolate milk- like adult chocolate milk. Fun aid delicious. read more

I'm obsessed with this place! My boss treated me to a Legacy blended latte (which has ice cream in it) on my very first day at my new job. I came from downtown Minneapolis so I was skeptical and sad about most things in St. Paul. However, legacy is the bright spot. I have to limit how often I go (though no doubt I'm now a regular). I've had nothing bad there. Legitimately. I've tried a lot of things. I used to work at a bakery in high school and college so I'm a bit of a snob. Their coffee is great! They only have pour overs, no drip. It's always great. Iced drinks are divine. Their German chocolate cake is the best I've ever had. It's not overly sweet. It's just pure good. Even the rare savory item they have is great! Because they deserve their own paragraph: the truffles are insane. They are $2.50 and likely the best you'll ever have. They are fresh and have a crisp crust. The filling is not too sweet and velvet. The flavors are great. The caramel and Himalayan caramel are great. I've had a hard time branching out from them but I've vowed to myself to start. I haven't been disappointed with my limited tries (lemon and margarita - both seasonal flavors). Apparently I need to try their chai after reading these reviews. You know I'll be there soon! This place is a must! Just go. You won't be disappointed because even the service is great! read more

This place is fantastic in every way possible. My wife who works downtown, frequents Legacy gets her coffee fix here and says it is THE best...period. A while ago she introduced me to the store and I just loved it. The chocolate and other treats are delicious. I got to talking with the owners and they were very friendly and helpful not just to me because I was chatting them up but every customer that walked through their door. All the displays are beautifully arranged as are the cases of food. The next time I'm in downtown St. Paul I will definitely be back to Legacy. Thanks! read more

I am a frequent flyer at Legacy Chocolates. The staff and owners are all very friendly and put a special touch on everything they do. The treats are fantastic and has the best coffee in town. A trip to Legacy Chocolates is must if you are in St. Paul, MN. John Luepke read more

Excellent service & amazing German Chocolate cake. Lorraine and husband are very service oriented and could give you a tour on the science of chocolate. If you are in St. Paul pass by and have a Mocha or Latte. Great place to hangout. read more

This was the best latte I have ever had. The customer service was great as well. Highly recommend going if you are able!

They have the best chocolate, hands down. I come here frequently for a truffle and a cup of coffee. (The coffee is really good too.) The staff are very kind and knowledgeable about the food they serve. I highly recommend coming here for an afternoon pick me up. read more

I had a short notice dinner recently and if you know me, that means there must be dessert involved. Since I didn't have time to prepare anything, it was the perfect opportunity to finally check out Legacy. They are located in the skyway of downtown St. Paul and can be a little challenging to get to. Make sure you pay your meter even if you're only stopping in for a second, you'll get a ticket otherwise. Trust me. The staff was very helpful without being overbearing, thoroughly explaining the different flavors and cocoa percentages which is sure to please anyone from light milk to the most bittersweet dark. They also have a selection of brownies, cookies, Seb Joe's ice cream and coffee. The truffles though. They're the best and that's why you go. Velvet smooth and rich. These are high quality truffles without the needless decorations and adornments. Simply damn good truffles. read more

Unbelievably good! I had the 99% stout truffle and it was everything I hoped it would be and more.

Legacy Chocolate is a gem of a place! The hand made chocolates are the stuff that chocolate dreams are made of. The coffee and baked goods are equally divine. The owner and his wife are very knowledgable and helpful. This is a must visit while in St Paul if you are visiting or a resident. It's also in a beautiful building that has a couple other fun places to check out. read more

Fantastic dark chocolate pieces. The truffles are wonderful. Great people. Excellent location

Phenomenal chocolate, excellent coffee, unparalleled customer service! Their truffles are a perfect gift, or mid-day treat, and the pour-through coffee is the best! Love Mark and Lorraine - they are always so cheerful and pleasant - and it helps that they remember us every time we visit. We also worked with them for our wedding favors - truffles with personalized sticker labels. Our wedding guests are still asking where the truffles were from and it's always fun to refer them to Legacy Chocolates and further the chocolate addiction! read more

This is a simple, yet very elegant chocolate shop. It has a high-end feel to it, but the prices are right. I wouldn't be surprised if the shop had a Michelin star or two. read more

Amazing chocolates and great beverages. My chai latte was steeped on the spot and tasted spectacular.

The best desserts and coffee in downtown St. Paul. Don't waste your time with the chains! Goodies are made from scratch. The pour over coffee is amazing, I dream about that stuff! The staff are so friendly, can perk you up on the worst days! :-) read more

Legacy Chocolates is a 100%. My mom and I were visiting Minnesota and stumbled upon this gem. We were greeted right away by, who I guessed to be, the owner. His knowledge of chocolate and his products was amazing and he took such pride in his work which he rightfully should. The chocolate was the best chocolate I have ever had. The tones and notes were evident. The flavor danced beautifully about my tongue. I give Legacy Chocolates an A+++. Definitely recommend stopping in. read more

I have not actually been to this shop but my boss stopped here and got each of the folks in my department a dozen assorted truffles for the holidays. I'm not a chocoholic and very rarely eat truffles, but Legacy's truffles are SO RIDICULOUSLY GOOD. I am glad I don't work downtown St. Paul because I'd be going here too often. read more

Awesome selection of home made chocolates. I have bought some for myself and for family. My family is very particular with chocolate and they love the Truffles! I have yet to try their coffee but it looks exceptional. Staff is top notch. Will become a regular. read more

Legacy has delicious chocolates and the best pour over coffee! What makes this place special though, is the service. They always take time to explain flavors to me and ask me about my day. Truly a "feel good" experience every time I'm there! read more

It is such a treat to have Legacy in the skyway. Their chocolate treats are peerless, and they offer a variety of fresh hand-brewed coffee that people in my office rave about. The staff are incredibly friendly and attentive. read more

Today was my first visit to Legacy Chocolates but it will not be my last! The staff is fun and friendly. Someone who was leaving recommended the strawberry cream cheese brownie so we tried that and three other brownies. Once you taste these you will be spoiled for life. Nothing in this store comes from a box! read more

Fantastic coffee. Great cookies and savory muffins. The service attitude was exceptional!! Too bad I can only give 5 stars.

The coffee was sooo good. I got the morning glory cookie. It was good but not as chewy as I hoped. Definitely going back anyway because the service was great and everything looks delicious. read more

Great coffee, great service by the owner and all the staff, pretty good prices especially for being a hot spot on the sky way, and all the desserts I've had there were tasty and reasonably priced. If they were open all the time I'd spend way too much money on all their delicious drinks and desserts. Just goes to show that if you consistently offer quality products and quality service, you will succeed. read more

The pour-over coffee here is possibly the best downtown, and the baked goods (brownies, scones, cake, etc) are equally delicious. Support your local, family-run businesses and make sure to stop by soon! read more

You guys, I changed jobs and hence moved from DT St Paul to DT Minneapolis. In every other aspect this is awesome. DT Minneapolis is FAR superior to DT St Paul, in every way except one: DT Minneapolis does not have Legacy Chocolates. It is my second week here in Minneapolis and I am dreaming of the decadence that is their chocolate brownie. It is a bit pricey at $3.25 or so (or $3.75? I don't even know because TAKE ALL MY MONEY). A brownie with their own house made chocolate ganache in a generous layer on the top. Their truffles which is amazing and comes in 3 or 4 different chocolate ratios. They sell their truffles piece by piece or you can make your own box of 6 or 9 or 12. They have chocolate syrup they make and sell, small batch that is meant for you to melt in the microwave and pour over your ice cream but I confess, it never makes it to the ice cream. Or the microwave. I just eat it straight out of the container with a spoon. The powers that be at Legacy needs to just open a store here in Minneapolis. That is all there is to it, obvs. read more

Perfectly delightful truffles. Small enough to not lead to guilt. Large enough to satisfy. The sipping chocolate is a lovely chick gift. Have never had a disappointing bite from a Legacy. read more
