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.

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!

Although the space is tiny, the desserts and cocktails more than make up for the line out front, and the noisy nature of downtown locations! There were 4 of us and we enjoyed the strawberry pretzel pie, derby pie, ice cream, coffee, and old fashioned. First of all, AMAZING cocktails- and an epic list of whiskeys, bourbons, and scotches. They've also got some custom beverages that you cannot find else. Super thumbs up for originality of cocktails, creative menu presentation, and speed of service! The derby pie was good- but I like mine with a denser filling. My friend enjoyed her strawberry pretzel pie, and the fact that not many places offer this on their menu. But, she said it was not as good as homemade. The gents in our party RAVED about how great Bittersweet's old fashioned drinks were! They said that these were definitely in the top three beverages they had ever had! This hole in the wall had a bridal party, some goth appearing folks, and suits too. In short, no matter what you like to drink, what you enjoy eating for dessert, you will find it here!

I could have been more disappointed in the Apple Fritters not only have they lost their appeal. The new fritters are as thin a pancake very little apples, over cooked and let's just put a ton of glaze on them, and they have cut back on the size of their donuts. Their donuts leave a greasy film in your mouth, with the only thing you can actually taste is the sugar. This place used to have great products when they were first opened, but like most established they loose the quality. Good luck hope you fix your problems.

The mini was so good and creamy. I always thought I needed a graham cracker crust with a cheesecake and was proven wrong with that the mini! I literally could've eaten like 10 of them and was so sad I only purchased two. Now as far as the dipped cheesecake goes..welppp it makes a beautiful picture but the taste is just ok. I think what kinda threw me off was how tart the cheesecake was in comparison to the chocolate. I pictured it being more of like a vanilla cheesecake base.
