    First when you walk in- the aroma- subtle but you're hooked. I'm not one of those huge chocolate fans that go around saying chocolate is its own food group. It was a rainy drizzly day and I only know I wanted a nice warm cup of something. I asked the guy to make a suggestion and my wife and I all ended up with warm cups of hot chocolate. Not the watery stuff I'm used to and not silly, frilly marshmallows. Just a thick rich cup of goodness. Not too sweet - best damn cup of hot chocolate I've ever had.

    If you are ever in Mystic, Connecticut you have to stop by Mystic River Chocolate Café. This spot has organic chocolate and espresso and it is amazing! I tried an affogato with chocolate ice cream and it was delicious. You really need to try the iced dirty chai latte. This was easily the best iced chai I have ever tried. After trying the chai I had to go back for se

    So many chocolates

    While in Mystic and looking for a coffee spot, the two go tos were closed for the day. We came across the Mystic River Chocolate Cafe. This is a bit off the main road, so it's not as noticeable. This is the CUTEST spot if you love anything chocolate! The space inside is clean, with some tables, but the coffee options will blow your mind! With the summer season, they have even more cool and refreshing chocolate options. They have house made beers, beautifully crafted chocolates, a variety of specialty hot chocolate drinks. Since it was cold we got their signature hot chocolates and a latte. The hot chocolate is a must get if you're in the area. It is hot, chocolatey and piled high with whipped cream, chocolate shavings and even fudge. Yum! What a treat! Sadly the latte was a let down, it didn't have any of extravagant display and it was essentially all milk. There wasn't any coffee in it. The milk was still pleasantly warm on a cold day. As long as you have something chocolatey from the Mystic River Chocolate Cafe it is unlikely you would be at all disappointed. I cannot wait to return here in the summer to try more of their goodies.

    I had the affagato which I liked here. They are known here for their chocolate of course, but I wasn't feeling on spending $13-16 to see how much I would like a chocolate bar. I like chocolate, but I like vanilla and creamy flavors more. So it wasn't worth the "risk" for me. I asked if samples were available and none were unfortunately. People are nice and ambiance is beautiful. No meal type food here to pick up and go. Despite it being a hot day, I tried to order a hot chocolate oat milk because several reviews said that only the hot version of their drinks came out well. They only had cold versions available except for coffee, cappuccino, and espresso. Nice place in Mystic.

    Absolute perfection. Loved the amazing rich and luscious hot drinking chocolate. I added a shot of espresso and it was the best hot chocolate I've ever had. This is a true bean to bar chocolate cafe. Lots of indoor and outdoor seating. A perfect place to pick up that foodie in your life a different gift. The bars all looked insanely delicious. I picked up an 8 pack of truffles for $29.00. The drinking chocolate with espresso was a bit of a splurge at $11 bucks but for a special treat it was well, well, worth it. Relaxing music playing and the smell-you just wanted to bottle it up to smell later. Great service! Parking lot across the street if you don't get lucky enough to find on street parking.

    I am such a fan of this place I can't even find the right words. Their drinking chocolate is unbelievably rich, prepare for a long journey of savoring it. It's basically melted chocolate, heavy cream, and some spices (optional) garnished with whipped cream and chocolate shavings. I will say, the hot drinking chocolate that they serve in the cooler months is quite a bit better than the iced chocolate that they serve during the summer. The owner/operator is an absolute gem, very kind and easy to talk to. His mannerisms make you feel both welcomed and at ease as soon as you walk in. The chocolate bars are quite good, though I wouldn't necessarily notice a difference between them and some of the higher end mass-produced chocolates on specialty store shelves. The photo here is from February 2020 and they don't use real mugs anymore, just travel cups, so unfortunately it's not quite as aesthetically pleasing anymore. So enjoy this throwback, instagram-worthy photo.

    Got lucky finding this place. It's off the Main Street down an alleyway. I happened to turn around and see it. They gave a nice selection of chocolate bars and some teas. We ordered an oat milk hot chocolate. They have a few variations of hot chocolate available. It was delicious! There is a nice seating area where you can take a break and enjoy your beverages.

    Cute place, friendly service, clean and good coffee as well as delicious "Signature Chocolate Drink"!

    Lots of great gift options

    Stopped in for some great coffee... This quaint little caffeine and chocolate emporium is off the beaten path on Water Street. We were warmly greated by the barista. We ordered 2 cold drinks. One was a Iced mocha latte and the other a sugar free vanilla latte. Both were carefully crafted and brewed fresh In front of our eyes. They were both delicious. The best coffee we have had in Mystic to date. The atmosphere was warm and inviting. We sat and enjoyed our drinks looking out into the courtyard. If you visit the area, be sure to check them out. We were being good and did not sample their homemade chocolates...maybe next time!

    Came here on a Monday morning a little before 9 am and there was a line. It wasn't too bad. And…read morehonestly, it's worth it. The line was out the door, but that's because its kind of a smaller line space. When I got to the front, there were 2 people taking orders, so they're trying to keep the line moving. I ordered the bowtie croissant that had blackberry jam inside and an ebbieoche. Along with an espresso for my husband and a blueberry lemonade for me. Once I got my items, I went outside to sit on their front porch/patio area with my husband and pup. The blueberry lemonade was really good. Very sweet. It had like bits of blueberry in it as well. And it js MASSIVE. Kind of a steal. The bowtie croissant was SO good. They make sure its filled to the brim with jam. And it was good jam. The croissant itself was fantastic. It was a little thicker to make sure the jam didn't immediately spill out, and that was genuis. I loved it. It was exactly the top of croissant I wanted with jam. The ebbieoche was delicious. Husband loved the cinnamon and sugar. We ate all of it. They had a good amount of pastries and everything was beautiful. I would 100% come back and stand in line.

    3.5/5. I came in on a rainy Saturday morning. The line moved pretty quickly. It's a cute spot with…read morea lot of options! I went with the almond croissant, a sea salt chocolate chip cookie, an oatmeal blueberry cookie, and a hot coffee. I was fairly disappointed in the sweets - the croissant was almost like a cream puff, not a lot of almond flavor. The cookies were okay, I might have set my expectations too high! I'd come back but would probably get other things next time.
