    A went here for the first time on a date with the young lady who was is awesome. I'm sure she helped make the experience better, but, this place made for an amazing date night! It has a small and comfortable feel. Perfect for dinner time conversations. The food that we have was great! The fondue made for a great activity to keep things lighthearted and fun. The drinks that we had tasted great and the service was excellent as well. We just so happen to be going during a night they were doing a special activity there so, I'm going to assume that there are activities like that regularly hosted at this location. I plan on finding out for future date nights.

    Visited on a Wednesday afternoon and it wasn’t very crowded. The wide variety of chocolate, treats, food, and drinks is incredibly exciting and intriguing with everything looking and sounding amazing! I don’t believe you can go wrong with anything you order. The hot chocolate was some of the best I’ve ever had and the adventurous choice to try the apple bacon grilled cheese payed off with it being one of the best grilled cheese sandwiches I’ve ever had. I will definitely be visiting again and recommend everyone check this cute and delicious cafe out!

    Great service and absolutely devine oat milk frozen hot chocolate! The best we have ever had. 100% recommended! Chocolate Cafe also has plenty of desserts, hot drinks, cold drinks, and frozen drinks. Also quite a few unique items perfect for gifts for other or for yourself. Seating inside and outside and plenty of parking.

    I ordered a dairy free buckeye cake for the OSU spring game and let me tell you, they came through. The chocolate cake was so moist and perfectly rich without being too much, and the peanut butter icing… I have no words. It was cute and festive and probably the best cake to order if you like PB and Choc like I do. I plan on ordering again and maybe trying something else. Also this was a truly fairly priced cake and beat my expectations.

    I have been coming here for years and this place never disappoints. Love the atmosphere, the abundance of natural light. Parking lot leaves a little to be desired in terms of space, but it's worth it. The hot chocolate is amazing - I'm partial to the Mexican spice version myself - and I can't get enough of the lemon bars they serve, the best I've ever had. The truffles are expensive but large and overall a great value. The food is pretty great too, have tried several sandwiches and been really pleased with the simple, fresh flavors aren't completely drowned in grease or mayo. It's been one of my go to places to hang out with friends for awhile.

    I was woke up out of my sleep with a craving for something sweet and God had me do a Google search that led me to this Cafe. I was overwhelmed by the options when I arrived but the fat boy within was smiling from ear to ear. I ordered the Applewood bacon grilled cheese, the brownie avalanche and something for my daughter to go. We got home and everything was better than advertised and I will be returning soon to please the fat boy within

    Food was artfully presented yet flavor profiles felt bland for each dish. The chicken in the salads is like it was cooked on a panini press… very dry and flat. The salad could use a nut component. The red velvet was delicious but no detectable chocolate notes.

    Delicious. We had the grilled cheese with lobster bisque, a Massive Cajun grilled chicken Cobb salad, and 2 huge chocolate chip cookies. Everything was really good even after travel through ubereats.

    I just love this place! Excellent food, excellent prices, excellent ambiance, and excellent service. Not to mention it’s a chocolate lover’s dream! From every facet, you can tell the owner takes pride in her establishment. My only regret is that there isn’t a location in Worthington or Dublin!

    Stopped here for a take-out dinner dessert. Grabbed the Lemon Bar and it was super delicious and very creamy. Light crust and a dollop of whipped cream. Staff were super nice. Parking a bit tight. Easy to find as they're on the corner. Want to return to try another treat. What was most interesting was this place is way more than chocolate and coffee. They have a fancy drink bar, and sandwiches, and others.

    Wow, this was a yummy place! Had a tuna melt for lunch and it’s was very good! The candy selection was amazing! Since Easter is around the corner I was able to get some great treats for the little peoples Easter baskets. You order at the counter and they bring the food to table. Great services and did have to wait long at all. Definitely going to be back and definitely going to try the ice cream.

    I came here to try their coffee, with it being a stop on the Columbus Coffee Trail, but I was a bit disappointed. My cortado was good not great. I got a breakfast wrap which was also good, not great. Perhaps I had too high of expectations for it. That being said, this little cafe on the north end of Northwest Blvd has a lot to offer. Their food menu is extensive serving breakfast, lunch, and dessert (obviously). They have plenty of seating, but the parking lot is not large. I would be willing to try it again with a new perspective. I would recommend this spot to anyone looking for a quick bite or coffee.

    Visited early afternoon on a Tuesday. It wasn"t busy so we were helped right away. We ordered pesto grilled cheese with cranberry pecan salad and a Dagwood. Dagwood was great. The pesto grilled cheese could have used a lot more pesto. I really wanted to get something chocolate after the meal but we were too full. We sat outside. Tables are really close to parking lot so not a great environment but weather was nice.

    I entrusted the Chocolate Cafe to make our dessert bar and wedding cake for our wedding this year. They did NOT disappoint- desserts were so good they ran out in minutes!! Everything tasted amazing, including our wedding cake, which they completely nailed on the design. They over-delivered and were so kind and gracious the whole time. They even delivered everything to our venue and set up the desserts. I would highly recommend them for any event, including your wedding!!

    Open late on the weekends. Atmosphere is great. Remind you of a ice cream parlor restaurant. You will have a wide selections of everything so it could be overwhelming. Just get something sit down and eat and enjoy it. Seating is ample. They have high chairs and they have high seating. They also have real flowers at each table in water

    Food always sounds good in theory but execution/flavor often isn't there. The meat is almost always dry/bland. For example, I just had the roast beef sandwich and the roast beef was tough, dry and grosse. Felt like eating leather. The lemon blueberry cake is described as moist but the slice I had was far from it. Maybe they served me an old piece idk, but at a steep $9 a slice pricepoint from a cafe, it should be delicious. Yesterday I ordered a latte and it was only 3/4 full and today I got an iced coffee for which i paid $1 extra for almond milk and really didn't get any at all.. I keep giving them chances wanting to support local business, but they keep falling short.

    Easily the best desserts I have had in my life. Well worth the price as the flavor was super rich. The menu is vast, a lot to choose from whether its a chocolate, dessert, coffee or alcoholic beverage. Can't wait to come back in the future

    I have always loved Chocolate Cafe so choosing them for our wedding cake & desserts was an easy choice — I’m so glad we did! They were a joy to work with from our tasting through the big day. Lisa (owner) delivered the cake and other desserts we ordered herself and checked in multiple times with our wedding planner to make sure everything was perfect. The pricing is very reasonable for the high quality too— everything was so delicious!! The buckeyes and buckeye pretzels were a big hit with our guests. Highly highly recommend Chocolate Cafe!!

    Date night with the wife and we stopped here for dessert. Neat “little” place. The strawberry lemonade cake, snickers cheesecake and thin mint martini were amazing. Is a must stop when you are looking for some decadent chocolate finishes.

  • 3/5 Allisya 9 months ago on Google
    Food tasted AMAZING. I loved their tomato soup and their salad was fresh (although I would've preferred it in a bowl over a plate). The staff was kind but seemed new or confused as when asked what was in their drinks, they had to defer to someone else. They also tend to say everything is good even if they themselves don't like it.

    Chocolate cake never disappoints! The staff is always friendly and the service is excellent. I haven't tried anything I didn't love. Highly recommended

  • 3/5 Danielle R. 1 year ago on Google
    Cute little place. We got a few ice cream sundaes and a hot chocolate. The brownie in the Avalanche sundae was amazing! The place was quite warm so the ice cream melted fast. It wasn’t super cold out so not sure why the heat was up that high. When we left we realized all of our clothes smelled like we were in a fast food place. We all had to take showers immediately. It was probably the high heat mixed with their food.

    I got lunch here, which was great! I highly recommend the mango smoothie!

  • 5/5 Husen M. 1 year ago on Google
    Love the atmosphere in this place, also the sweets adds more flavor to my liking! Definitely a refreshing experience if you’re looking for something calm and relaxing with a plate of delicious cakes and smoothies! Will be back!

  • 5/5 Khin Yu W. 2 years ago on Google
    Newyork cheesecake is so delicious. Milkshakes are alittle less sweet for me. Overall it’s really good cafe.

  • 5/5 Laura S. 2 years ago on Google
    Everything was delicious 😋 Strawberry mango smoothie, lobster bisque, Strawberry spinach salad w/poppyseed dressing. Finished with chocolate covered strawberries!! So good!!!

  • 5/5 Melinda D. 1 year ago on Google
    Great customer service and cute cafe! I got a simple chicken Caesar salad and I was impressed at how full it was! ☺️ I didn’t try any sweets this time. My friends liked their wraps.

  • 5/5 Cheriece M. 2 years ago on Google
    Ot was my first time there and it was amazing. I was surprised at how much was on the menu. It appears also that their food options may change as there was a Fall menu. We stopped for coffee (which was delicious) and grabbed a few bakery items. I do plan to return soon and try their food and drinks. They have a bar area in the restaurant. I will update my review once that occurs!

  • 5/5 James J. 1 year ago on Google
    The staff was really friendly and helpful. We had several offerings. Their buckeye cheesecake was quite good, having peanuts in the crust. Their wrap was filling and came with mostly fresh fruit. Their chai and frozen hot chocolate were both quite tasty and I'd recommend them.
