If you want to talk impress someone with a box of chocolates, Christopher Elbow is *the* premier place to buy chocolates that is located in the south side of downtown Kansas City. Their largest box of chocolates will run you $100 and a small box of four will run about $13. They also sell other delicious chocolate themed items like candy bars that are high in Cocoa and hot cocoa powder. The store itself is charming, very colorful, basic, and inviting. About half of the store is reserved for some seating and restrooms for the guests. It is hard not to get a good feeling when you walk into this well appointed storefront. The gentleman behind of the counter was very helpful and kind in finding just what we were looking for. Like the chocolates, there's definitely a lot of thought that went into creating a storefront and lounge area to make it very lovely and inviting. Their boxes and gift wrapping are also top notch. If you happen to stop in here to buy chocolates, go another two and a half blocks and visit Messenger coffee house. I've included some pictures of the chocolates that are available. If you found this review helpful please give it a thumbs up. Thank you so much!

Fancy quality chocolates. If you get them as a gift for someone then you may end up eating all the chocolates yourself and have to buy more. The interior is very modern with seating to immediately try your purchases. The temperature is a little on the cool side to prevent the chocolates from melting. They also have candied fruit, chocolate bars of many varieties, and chocolate gift combinations. Sometimes you can see the chocolate makers building or packaging the chocolate creations in the factory.

Best chocolate you’ll have. We’ve purchased Elbow chocolates before but never from their actual storefront. The staff were warm, inviting, and helpful. The options were overwhelming but we chose a box of six and two of the premade winter boxes. Their chocolate covered almonds are to die for. Definitely come here for a stop if you’re in the area, it’s so worth it!

Hands down the best chocolate I've ever had. Every chocolate is a piece of art and the taste will blow your mind. Everything we have tried has been amazing. A bit pricey but definitely worth every penny.

This place is heaven, I normally don't leave reviews unless I'm overly impressed. I was here yesterday and was overly impressed by the customer service, the cleanliness of the store. The chocolates displayed in perfect symmetry looked just perfect, so beautifully crafted, and the taste. Definitely made with love, I will surely be going back for more and refer the business to my friends.

I LOVE gifting Elbow chocolates! They are not only stunning, but absolutely delicious flavors. Going into the shop is a truly unique experience and a Kansas City must!

I wasn’t a huge fan of the square truffles, but the fall-fillings are truly masterful! Such unique flavors!!! I didn’t get plain chocolate, so it’s hard for me to compare the other chocolate shops in the area (which you should visit too), but I highly recommend the fall truffles!!!!! Get them before they are gone!!!

This is the place to get that special someone the best hand made chocolates around. The staff is always amazingly friendly and willing to answer any questions you may have. It's worth the trip downtown and if your girl loves chocolate then she will be amazed at the flavor combinations they have. The chocolate themselves are almost to pretty to eat but your taste buds will thank you when you indulge in one or two.

Do yourself a favor and visit this place if in Kansas City. Amazing chocolate and lovely staff.

Their dark hot chocolate is amazing. My go-to place for hot chocolate.

Picked up their new peanut butter cups to bring to my hometown friends. The cashier was super friendly and kind. She offered my wife and me a couple of dark peanut butter cup samples for the road and that was thoughtful. My wife said the samples were heavenly. I'll have to return to pick up a box for myself now!

Beautiful chocolates, but the texture and consistency of most of the liquors and ganache inside were far from expectations. A work of visual art, but chocolates are edible and should taste (and feel) good, too.

Have you ever looked at chocolate and thought it was almost TOO beautiful to eat? If you have…then it must have been a sweet chocolate treat from Christopher Elbow Chocolates. My chocolate choices: Fleur De Sel (buttery caramel infused with gray french sea salt), Fresh Lemon (lemon marmalade and lemon infused white chocolate ganache), Champagne (milk chocolate ganache infused with French champagne & coated in dark chocolate with a dusting of powdered sugar. Each of the chocolates are shiny & beautifully crafted. You can purchase individual chocolates and sets. Visit Christopher Elbow Chocolates in the Crossroads area of KC today!

YUM! So decadent, they are all little treats for your taste buds. They have different forms of chocolate, including bars and liquid form! The boxes make great presents, and there are premade boxes if you don’t want the burden of choice. They are all so beautiful as well!

Randomly walked past and decided to go in, chocolates were amazing and service was great. Got a box of eight, a mix between what they said were the most popular, and some that sounded interesting, like rosemary. None of them disappointed, all of them made me want to go back and get more.

Live in OKC, and visit KC a lot. Some dear friends gave us a box of Milk Chocolate Pecan Fleur de Sel Caramels, and we were blown away by how incredible they are! I say are as we have one left....that last bite will be glorious and sad at the same time! Haha. Really though. Looking forward to stopping in and visiting In person soon.

Gorgeous little confectionery masterpieces. My fiance brought me here to choose a box of these artful creations. What a decadent and thoughtful treat. Thank you, Tyler! 😘

These little works of art are SO delicious!! Located in the arts district of KC it's a must to stop in when exploring the area. So many unique flavors to pick from and the employees are friendly and knowledgeable about the processes of creating these gems. They even let me sample one of the flavors that I was interested in. Makes a perfect gift for loved ones!

Beautiful Art that is almost too pretty to eat...almost.

Fanciest chocolates I've ever had, hands down. They're expensive but you can buy them individually so you have no excuse not to try at least one! The chocolate bars are amazing too, I recommend the Vietnamese one - it changed my mind about dark chocolate.

On a recent visit to KC, MO, we incorporated a visit to this intimate shop & we definitely weren't disappointed!!! The delightful staff helped me & my friend pick out a variety of beautifully artistic, melt in your mouth delicious "works of art"!!!! This is a "must stop" if you are in the area. SUBLIME!!!

Stop in to taste and purchase the ever changing and decadent collection of chocolates. They are truly works of art in appearance and flavor combinations. My new favorite is rosemary caramel. Yes. They are a pricey indulgence, but I like to treat myself and love to take out of town guests. The small store display looks like a jem shop with all the vibrant colors and shapes. Need an excuse --- save on shipping by going to the source. 😁
