We ordered: 1 Milk Chocolate Signature sipping 10/10 1 Dark chocolate signature sipping 8/10 Chic chip cookie 9/10 My husband really enjoyed the dark chocolate and preferred it over the milk chocolate. I personally preferred the milk chocolate, but both were great! It was thick and rich but not overly sweet or too thick to drink. They have small batch chocolates from other countries you can try as well. We arrived later at night so they were already sold out sadly. The chocolate chip cookie was delicious once they warmed it up for us! Pricing: Prices are a bit expensive and the drink sizes or small. The small signature hot chocolate was $7.50 and the medium was $8.50. We went with the medium since it was a better size choice in our opinion. Seating and service: There's not a ton of seating and it's a fairly small shop. You can get drinks, pastries, coffee, tea, and chocolate candy treats. There's two cashier stations so it typically should go fairly fast to check out. The service was alright, informative if you have a question. It's first come first serve seating. Parking: There's street parking available

He is very much a chocolate conosoir and pretty much any type of chocolate candy would make him happy. I thought about getting the chocolate covered pecans because I know that he purchased those about a month ago and was eating them like they were nothing. They simply weigh those and would serve them in a plastic bag. Instead of that, I decided on an expensive chocolate assortment that came in a beautiful box. That seemed more like a gift than just chocolates in a plastic bag. The person behind the counter was very nice and kind of explained about the various types of chocolates that were included in the assortment. I am looking forward to a special birthday night with him.

The Chocolatier's Palette offers a variety of gourmet fudge with unique flavors. I first tried this…read morebusiness as part of a beer pairing with True Respite. 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.

Okay, so there are two chocolate shops in Union Station - Läderach and Neuhaus Chocolates. Läderach…read morewins! Läderach offers Swiss chocolates while Nehaus does Belgian. I thought I liked Belgian chocolate more (I'm a dark chocolate lover), but the creamy Swiss chocolate at Läderach cannot be denied. Läderach is my go-to chocolate shop to grab some festive holiday goodies - whether it's heart-shaped chocolate for Valentine's Day, chocolate bunnies for Easter, or a chocolate reindeer or angel for Christmas, Läderach offers a great selection for every occasion. This is premium chocolate, so it is pricey. The prices in the shop are the same prices as online. I do wish they had some kind of rewards/loyalty program, but I'm already a repeat customer without it. Nine times out of 10, there's a staff member standing outside the shop with a smile and a giant tray of samples to lure you in. Their chocolate hazelnut slab is smooth, rich, and delicious, and it has that perfect crunch from the nuts. Once you give them a try, you'll know what they're all about and will keep coming back for more!

I had a credit card offer to use and it's always good to have chocolate on hand, so I stopped in…read more The shop is kind of hidden in the back of the Pentagon City Mall on the lowest level. Another Swiss chocolatier had a more prominent space, which confused me. They offer some "buy X, get Y free" kind of deals, so I got several bars as well as some smaller chocolate bonbons. They neglected to ring up the latter items at first, and then did it as a separate transaction, which effectively messed up my credit card offer. Only cost me an extra dollar or so, but not smooth. I've had some quality oat milk chocolate that I bought from Lindt elsewhere but couldn't find it here, which is a shame. For those that want regular chocolate, the selection was mostly packaged items that you could buy online, with a few fresh things in store. I didn't want to buy online because it's summer and shipping chocolate in heat seems unwise.

I probably should have called first before making such a long drive, but I'm still glad I went. Quincy was extremely nice and took the time to explain why they didn't offer the hot chocolate. He had me try one of the chocolates and chatted with me during my visit. He is very knowledgeable about chocolate and genuinely kind. Even though I didn't get the hot chocolate I came for, I ended up purchasing some chocolates and it was still worth the trip. Quincy even gave me suggestions for other places in the area that serve good hot chocolate. Excellent customer service and a great experience overall.

They have a huge selection of imported chocolates, as well as, a lot of great gift ideas here…read more That was the main reason why I came here this morning. I really waited until the last minute to get a gift for a long term colleague of over twenty years who is retiring today. The gentleman was very helpful in explaining the various types of chocolate decadence that they have, and he gave me the prices as well. They don't actually post the prices here. The medium sized box of chocolate covered strawberries that I purchased was nearly $50. I think the main reason for the pricey chocolate is their location being only a block away from the White House and also because most of the chocolate is imported. I'm sure the tariffs now has increased the price by a lot. The one reason why I did not give this place five stars was that they opened over an hour later than what is posted on the door.
