I've Been wanting to check out Mazur Chocolate and Coffee and was excited to see something like…read morethis so close to home. Finally stopped in this Saturday afternoon and was pleasantly surprised by the quality and heart packed into this small, eclectic shop. I ordered the butterfly tea, and it was perfection; light, fragrant, and just the right amount of sweetness. My husband had a coffee and gave it his full approval, which says a lot since we're used to bringing back premium coffee beans and chocolate from Cartagena, Colombia during his business trips. So yes, our taste buds are very spoiled. Our daughter was the only one who got her hands on the chocolate Bar we purchased, and let's just say... she devoured it within the day. Her exact words? "Best chocolate I've ever had." So yeah, that bar never stood a chance. While waiting for our drinks, we were treated to samples; mango lassi and lentil soup, both incredibly delicious and culturally authentic. The lentil soup, in particular, had me considering a second round, even though we had stopped in after brunch and I had no business eating more food. The vibe in the shop is a little visually chaotic (the decor doesn't follow a strong theme), but it adds a kind of quirky charm. There was even a setup for a live band, which is wild considering how petite the space is....but I'm here for the ambition! You can also see the chocolatier through a glass window, which added a fun behind-the-scenes feel to the experience. The woman handing out samples was warm and welcoming, and the young lady taking orders was all business, but still kind and efficient. All in all, Mazur is a charming little spot for anyone who truly appreciates high-quality chocolate, great drinks, and a few surprises along the way. We'll definitely be back.

Let me just say up front: I came in ready for chocolate. I wore my stretchy pants. I had visions of…read morecascading ganache fountains, truffle-scented air, maybe even a golden ticket situation. This is a chocolate lab, after all, not to be confused with the dog (though I would've gladly pet one if it showed up with a mocha in its mouth). Mazur Café is a charming little spot that whispers "refined European dessert lounge" and shouts "yes, we serve espresso." The vibe is cozy, the staff is friendly, and the espresso machine hisses with confidence.

I was excited to try a new coffee place but this was not up to my standards…read more The initial vibe is cute with some couches and comfy chairs but it feels empty and without character. The French Toast latte was yummy even though they ran out of whipped cream. The carrot cake scone was pretty good, but they are refrigerated, so maybe ask for it to be heated up a bit to take the chill out. Hubby said the cappuccino was ok. I think what troubled me was the employee's indifference to our being there. We wiped down our own table because they all needed a cleaning. Then they said they needed to replace the napkins, they did but couldn't be bothered with bring us a couple. They were carrying in stock items and my husband held the door for them but they were like don't worry about it. We can just push the door ourselves.

This was a very pleasant experience. My top-tier chum and I stopped by this past Sunday afternoon…read morefor a little pick-me-up and a palate cleanser after a mediocre lunch down the street. I was a little startled when I walked in; it almost felt like a warehouse or something - there is a TON of empty, unutilized space in Pennyrose and despite music playing in the background, it's almost too quiet. There's a few upholstered pink chairs throughout the establishment, but mostly it's just square footage to roam around in. Not much of a ding if at all, but they definitely could use a little more furniture in here to make it more comfortable. Easy problem to fix - just hit up a few estate sales and you're golden. My chum (this is what chums are for) noticed that they had rose flavoring, which is my absolute favorite; why lavender is getting so much traction in the floral genre is beyond me. I ordered a rose latte with skim, and it was very tasty. The barista told me because it was a hot latte that it had to be a size large (not clear why) but perfectly fine by me on a nippy, overcast November afternoon straight out of Folklore. Perfect amount of rose without being overwhelming and really hit the spot. I also grabbed an intriguing looking blueberry lemon iced scone. Also really good though one corner of the scone had too many blueberries so I avoided that, but that's a total palate preference on my end. Would absolutely gnaw on that again. The service was excellent. Beyond receiving pretty much a dictionary definition perfect latte, the barista just let us hang out by the front window for a few hours people watching. Coffee houses SHOULD be communal spaces to just chill out in for a while, so if it had been an issue that's end game for me, but we both felt very welcomed and easily could have lingered for a while more but SOMEone (cough cough chum cough cough) needed to buy soy candles in Lafayette or something. So it goes. Just a little more interior decorating, and I think you really have something here.

This might be the most rude group of people I've ever had to deal with at a coffee shop. I've gone…read morein there for three straight days, buying a cuppa coffee, something to eat, and as I went up to the counter to get a refill, always asked towards a charge for the refill. Answer was no great. On the fourth day went in same sequence ordered coffee paid for food and then went to get a refill. Coffee was told that would be $3.75 cost of a new cup of coffee which took me my surprise of course I love people know that I've been there for three straight days and it was never the policy, and they literally started laughing at me looking at one another, not looking at me insane. I think I got lucky literally insulting me to my face and behind my face. Never offering any type of explanation or anything of the sort test literally laughing at me. So if you want to be laughed at if you want to be insulted, if you want to make an explanation about how the rules changed this is the place to go how ignorant some people should not be in the Service business, and everyone behind the counter should not be in the surface business

I liked this and thought it made the vibe really inviting. The only thing is that they were super busy between the counter and the drive-thru, so my coffee took a while. This is fine because it's a fun place to hang out, but may not be great if you're in a rush! I listened to the baristas rec and ordered the Iced White Mocha. It was more like a dessert than a coffee, but delicious nonetheless! The also added some whipped cream for me which made it even more indulgent. I'd love to come back to order another and stay a bit longer!

You can indoors or outside if you want to enjoy the fall foliage.

My family loves their empanadas so when I come I grab a bunch to take home. I got 12 and had to eat one in the car before I started on the 30 min drive back home. I was disappointed, there's is nothing worse then romanticizing a food only to get it and not be what you you've been craving. (first world problems for sure.) The filling was very wet and seemed to be more of a gravy then chicken and potato. It tastes like oil and didn't seem to be completely cooked through. It didn't help that the person that waited on me was a bit abrupt. They seemed like they were annoyed I ordered so many and that picking up the already cooked food to put it in a bag was a real pain. Overall disappointed in the food and the experience. I'll take crappy customer service for delicious food any day. But you can't have mediocre food and treat paying customers like crap.
