I stopped by this week for a private group chocolate and wine tasting and it was phenomenal. Chef Roby and his wife are so welcoming and gracious! I loved the stories behind each of the the truffles we tried. Chef Roby was also nice enough to share more about his personal life and why he decided to become a chef.The chocolate sculptures are just fascinating! I couldn’t leave without taking some goodies with me back to Miami. You will not be disappointed! If you’re looking for a unique group experience, this is it! Or if you just want to catch up with friends over delicious chocolate and a wonderful ambiance, this is your place to! I can’t wait to visit again!

This isnt just a chocolate shop. This is an experience! Not only can you get truffles, nutella croissants and chocolate covered bacon (trust me, I did) but you can peruse a veritable museum of chocolate sculptures! My fave was the chocolate tree I took to think of as treebeard. I also loved the detail if the iguana.

Chocolate isnt candy is a quote on their website. As I strongly agree with that statement, I had to check them out. My blended coffee drink was great, the truffles were great, and the devils food cake actually lived up to the hype. 👍🏾

Weve looked for a solid chocolate shop since moving from Indiana. Weve had some misses but this place is great. The staff is super knowledgeable and helpful. the truffles are delicious. Im not much of a plain coffee drinker but I even I think it pairs well with the chocolate and my husband says its good.Also it has some amazing picture worthy chocolate sculptures.

I was walking around in Geneva and ran into this place to see if they had it, and they did! I ordered an hot apple cider and was looking at the pastries. They had so many different delicious looking items, I decided to get one. I bought the pumpkin strudel to take home.Later that evening, I decided to indulge myself in my new dessert. After I was beyond ecstatic to dig into my pumpkin strudel. The cream was so light and fluffy and the dough held quite well.The staff is friendly and there is quite the selection. I have to admit, I wanted try everything there!

Always lots of fun coming here, we used to live in the area but now we live an hour away, whenever we come to Geneva we always stop by here. Focaccia bread, truffles or espresso there’s always something new to snack on and the sculpture’s are always pleasant to see.

You know when you walk into an artisanal chocolate shop youre going to spend a little more than an *average* shop. The ambiance, the quality, the staff and the wow factor all play into it. Wonderful place to stop to cap a beautiful evening out with friends

Excellence of highest level allows for this charming establishment be the locals’ favorite for sweet treats. When you enter this magical place you are taken to an imaginary “Willy Wonka” like hideaway. Many of the decorations chef Roby created out of sugar and chocolate. One of a kind environment inspirational for kids and adults. Personal service, attentive staff, and gelato that no one can pass. Must visit this fabulous Geneva spot.

Walmart quality pastry nothing special. Traveled to taste master chef quality not 2 dollar Walmart quality. Maybe just their chocolate is good, did not try after spending 25 bucks on pastry and hot chocolate.

Oh, so I have to tell you I had to buy a couple pieces of chocolate covered bacon to snack on while I browsed the display cabinets and decided what to indulge on today. The variety here is wonderful. Too much to choose from makes the decisions even tougher. So it kind of forces you to buy more than you need. Yes I spent some serious money here but it was worth it.

Expensive desserts and coffee but worth the price. Have been here many times but I keep coming back for the coffee. I like iced coffee but when they asked if I wanted whipped cream, I was charged 25 cents more on top of a $5 coffee. They warm up their cookies and they melt in your mouth.

Bad Service. Overpriced . Coffee and cookie was almost $18.00. Cookie was like cement and noticed it was from Easter. Iced coffee was almost all ice. For a place that charges $60 for a cake, buyer beware.

So... we were strolling around Geneva the other day and decided to stop by All Chocolate Kitchen for a cup of coffee. After waiting several minutes to try and get waited on, I walked around the counter trying to find someone to wait on us. After doing so, another customer walked up behind me and got waited on by the girl behind the counter. As I waited AGAIN for service, the other customer received their drink, and the girl behind the counter said, Ill be with you in a minute sir. With that, I really started to steam. She finally got back to the counter and stood towards the front of the store, not looking at me at all, and speaking through her mask. I had no idea what she was saying, and then she walked away to the back of the store and NEVER CAME BACK! I told the rest of our party to stop WASTING OUR TIME HERE AND GO SOMEPLACE ELSE. With that, we left.I did contact them via phone later that day, and spoke to someone who claimed to be the assistant store manager. She assured me that someone would be getting back to me, but not surprisingly, no one ever did. My guess is that I was probably speaking to the same girl who wouldnt wait on us.There are way too many other establishments in Geneva that really DO appreciate their customers. Especially in these times, you would think restaurants would go out of their way to treat customers with at least a little more respect. But apparently, All Chocolate Kitchen prefers to just wait on single customers only, and feels that a group of people is more than they care to bother with.

To specific questions if bakery was fresh made by the day, I was told that it is.Unfortunately the croissants I was given, was not.

Stopped in today to pick up an all sugar pumpkin. Its truly unbelievable. My grandson had the delicious gelato, I had coffee and a flourless chocolate cake. My husband has a chocolate allergy but, never has a problem here. I believe its because of the quality of the chocolate. This chocolate shop is definitely a place to go. Id give it 10 Stars if I could have but they only list 5.

This place is a MUST visit! A real Willie Wonka and magical place. We tried couple of different desserts, the banana cream pie was AMAZING same with the Pumpkin Pie.The staff is very knowledgable and helpful considering they were pretty busy. They advise us to try the Pumpkin Latte as it is all natural and we were so happy we did. We will definitely be back

The All Chocolate Kitchen is a special place. For some inexplicable reason I was struck with a sudden craving for gelato the other day. I called my mother to ask if she knew of any spots nearby that made proper fresh gelato. She excitedly replied go to the All Chocolate Kitchen! Its amazing! She sent me a list of things to pick up for her and I headed to over with high expectations.Theres a very warm atmosphere inside. My first visit was in mid December so there was a major Christmas theme going on. They have these massive sculptures made with thousands of pounds of chocolate. The soundtrack to Home Alone was playing and for the first time in a while I felt a warm nostalgia for the holidays instead of my usual bitterly misanthropic reaction to such merriness. It was pretty crowded for a weekday and everyone seemed pretty jovial.I ordered a stratiacella, coconut, and chocolate gelato with fresh whipped cream and is what delicious! They have a really tasty flourless chocolate cake with the density of a platinum osmium ore! Its a good thing I dont have much of a sweet tooth or I would be in trouble. I did learn some surprising facts about the difference between ice cream and gelato. Contrary to my instinct, ice cream is considerably higher in calories. I took a photo of the display board if you want to be able to justify a visit to yourself. Its definitely worth a visit. It would be a great spot to catch up with an old friend.

All Chocolate Kitchen is has two wonderful things good for it. The dainties are delicious! It also has a great ambiance and home town feel. I have been to many different parts of this country and you could put this restaurant anywhere and it would still thrive. All I can say is excellent, excellent, excellent! If youre in the area and you like some dessert stop in! 5 star place

Review №66

Overpriced. My espresso was barely warm...they need to put cups on top of the espresso machine to warm them. (I saw two larger cup on top but no espresso cups) $4 for a double shot is a bit pricey. Chocolate croissant was stale. My wife had the hot chocolate which was a generous amount however it was bitter. Adding sugar helped. Lastly, the biggest letdown was the chocolate brownie. It was huge. First bite....very rich.....and freezer burned after taste. Yuck. Chef Robby needs to quit chasing Guiness records so that he can better provide for his day-to-day customers. I dont care about a 850 lb chocolate sculpture behind glass when the products Im served are terrible quality. Great atmosphere and potential just need to get their priorities in order. Staff were friendly.

One of the lovely place to come and to have a dessert. All Ice creams and cakes are yummy and delicious. All staffs are friendly and customer service is excellent. Beautiful environment too. People are polite and officiant.This time I decided to write a review because I stopped by for dessert with my family on wednesday night and I didnt realize that I left my purse behind. Chef Roby and his team to found my purse and handed to the police department for me. I really really appreciate that too.Thank you guys :)

This was our 1st time. It was quite overwhelming since it was busy and unclear to us as to how this place worked (what line do I need to get in, is there table service, who is in line, where to sit, etc.). The person who took our order asked me the same questions multiple times which just made it more confusing. In the end, we enjoyed our desserts, but won’t likely be back soon.

Review №72

Their devil’s food cake was quite tasty, but the flavor of their key lime pie and brownie was off. It must be something with the chocolate they used, because both the brownie and the crust of the pie left a strange aftertaste. If you plan on dining here, I recommend the devil’s food cake or their assortment of gelato.

So I dont know a lot about All Chocolate Kitchen but I can tell you how Chef Alain Roby saved Christmas Dinner! I was busy as all get out all holiday season and had everything ready for Christmas except the desert... this is when the Chef saved the day! All I had to do was ask and he came up with the most unbelievable Chocolate cake to serve my family. It was so good people are still talking about it! This dude is the real deal and a great person to do business with. I highly recommend you getting down to 3rd street and checking out his Chocolate magic!!!

My friend and I ordered a pretzel caramel brownie, we took one bite a piece and we were very disappointed. My friend brought it to the counter to explain how dry it was and if we could get the money back or exchange it for something else, the girl said the manager left and she didnt know where she went. We waited an hour for her to come back. She never returned. I left my name and number for the manager to call me. We left the brownie there too. I waited 4 days until I called the manager, i spoke to Ester and she promised to send me a gift card and i still have not received it. Im extremely disappointed in the customer service also. I do not recommend this place, its not what you think it is.

Took my age 8 daughter here for a after dinner treat. She was in awe of the decor made of sugar. This place is really amazing with variety of desserts you can purchase. The gelato, candies, bakery treats, coffee, and yes the chocolate bacon! The counter help made the line move quickly. Our server had a friendly smile and made my daughters day with a personal compliment on her dress. Ordering was quick and service was fast. The treats are expensive but worth it!

Tried to get information to book this place for a baby shower. After caling and being told no one would speak to us with out an online submission, we did the online form and waited for a reply. No one got back to us. Tried calling at least SEVEN times and apparently someone answering the phone before 2pm (even though they are open) does not happen, or so I was told when I went in to try and speak with someone. I was told the manager would not come out to speak with me but I could fill out the online form...when I explained how I already submitted the form, tried calling seven times and ended up coming in because we were very interested in booking for a baby shower I was told you can leave a message then...this is just how we do things and the manager would still not come out to speak with me even though I offered to wait. I would advise against trying to book an event here!

Review №95

Typically very good here but they now have a no refund or exchange policy. We got some food that was obviously freezer burned and they would not refund. Tried to give a cookie as a consolation instead. Why would I pay $7 and be cool with getting a cookie. They actually cut off a piece of the food and said that it must have been too far back in the cooler which made it taste bad. So, they know it is no good and still had to debate with them for another item, then, I had to pay the up charge of a dollar for another item. At that point dont you just take the dollar loss and do the right thing? Left a very bad impression. Disappointed for sure. That policy should not be in force for food that is defective.

Review №96

This place disgusts me, it is 1.79$ for a bottle of no name spring water. Not to mention the 1.50$ chocolate covered pretzel worth maybe 70 Cents at the most.Their is a five dollar minimum, I had only wanted 1 bottle of water to give to the homeless man in the wheelchair because it is 90+ degrees outside, I had too buy 2.Visa and MasterCard do not allow a minimum to be set for debit card purchases by any establishment for any reason, which I addressed with the manager who rung the purchase and her response was that it was the owners choice.The water should have been 1.00$ the extra 79 cents could have gone towards covering the transaction fee.Such a shame places like this exist.

Was pleasantly surprised at what I found when we went inside. Lots of cool art made from different types of candy, very relaxed and friendly environment. I went with my two boys (4 and 2) after being out in the cold to get some hot chocolate and coffee to warm up. The boys had a great time and the hot chocolate and coffee were very good. We didnt have any of the food or gelato but both looked very good. Defiantly going to go back with my wife next time.
