Come in on an empty stomach, because you wont be able to stop eating. We came in to get ice cream, and chose the sundaes, which were beautifully made and every part tasted just as great, even down to the small details of the drizzled caramel and salted pecans.

Absolutely stunning and delicious chocolate, drinks, and ice cream! Come in on an empty stomach, because you wont be able to stop eating. We came in to get ice cream, and chose the sundaes, which were beautifully made and every part tasted just as great, even down to the small details of the drizzled caramel and salted pecans. Worth every penny! The staff was very friendly and everyone was ready to help. I will certainly be going back.

Drawn in by the big billboard touting giant Carmel Apples...that were $35. Oh, they were good, but not for $5/slice.

High price but good for a daddy / daughter date. Its worth the price. The peanut butter truffle is amazing as well as the raspberry, macadamia and Carmel. They also have a good selection of rare chocolate to try if youre oozing for some taste testing adventures. They staff is very helpful and nice as well. Enjoy!

DeBrand Indy went above and beyond to make a perfect weekend happen. Lori and Hannah were the best. They both went out of their way to provide the absolute best service imaginable. The chocolate gift towers were perfect and my wife absolutely went crazy over the variety of chocolates available. Although all of our chocolates were incredible, my favorite was definitely the dark chocolate sea salt caramels. Beautiful, delicious product and service to match. We will definitely be repeat customers.

This place is amazing. As soon as you walk in you will be blown away by the design of the store its beautiful. We loved it before we even had the chocolate. The chocolate is amazing though and they offer many different flavors to choose from. This is luxury chocolate so it is more expensive but worth it. They also have ice cream and sundaes that are dipped in chocolate. Its amazing. If you love chocolate this is a must stop.

Review №12

Theyre no Godiva!Walking up & in looks fancy as hell, but the chocolates are basic no matter how fancy they sound.Truffles- Theres plenty of flavors but theyre really just chocolate ganache truffles w a lil trinket of flavor on top. The packaging was nice tho.Exotic chocolate flavored squares- Jasmine & Brazil taste the same. Aztec taste like the 2 but alil spicy. To me they were all nasty.

This is a great chocolatier that happens to be a local Indiana business. The service was wonderful, and the chocolates were just amazing and reasonably priced! These are better than Godiva. And the artistry of these chocolate boxes shows how much they care about their delicious craft. Get your chocolate here. ❤🍫

Great hand crafted chocolates and wonderful service. Everything was amazing and they had plenty of creative options that would even make Godiva jealous. Not sure if its a local or a chain, but it feels local and they treat you like they appreciate you business. Worth every penny.

Quiet place to enjoy a great dessert after a meal. We forgot to take a picture until it was too late so we took one of the empty plate and pared that with a shot of the menu.You will love it.

This place was recommended to us by my husbands doctor. We both got chocolate covered ice cream and it was by far the best chocolate covered ice cream Ive ever had. It is extremely rich and thick. Will definitely be going back.

Expensive but so worth it! I love their Carmel Mocha with Sea Salt Coffee drink. Be sure to bring your friends here as they serve their stylish coffee drinks in glassware. They put fresh whipped cream and a chocolate espresso bean and dark chocolate medallion on top. They sell fresh caramel apples by the pound that can be ordered by November 14 for Thanksgiving. They have chocolate art boxes filled with chocolates, ice cream sundaes and boxed chocolates where you can pick individual pieces or pre-boxed chocolates.

Im not a huge chocolate lover, and Ive never really had a chocolate experience that stood out and made you go wow, that was amazing!Until I went to DeBrands. Let me tell you, WOW, that chocolate is amazing!! Yes, its a little pricey, but I intentionally put money aside just to spend at DeBrands, and I have zero regrets. Its a luxury I choose not to live without!

This place is also terrific to sit and work on your computer. There are tables in the back with a couple outlets. Lattes are delicious and comparable to Starbucks prices. Drip coffee is only $2 with free refills, and there are two self serve taps with complimentary still and sparkling water. The employees are very friendly and provide excellent service.

Honestly, I never understood this place until I tried it. I really thought all chocolates were basically the same. DeBrand proved me wrong. Their flavor profiles are well executed. Have a coffee and a few chocolates and youll see why people have such loyalty to this place.

A little on the pricey side, but a tasty experience.Staff was friendly and knowledgeable, with one clearly a little less seasoned, but working on it.The sundaes were tasty, the chocolate dip for the bowl was a nice touch. Toppings were a good quality. Ice cream was middling quality but I didnt come for the ice cream, definitely passable.Mid range chocolate, with at least the classics and connoisseurs being made out of house and shipped in. I dont know about the truffles, probably in house.If you have a sweet tooth, order the hot caramel drink. On the other end of the spectrum was the dark hot chocolate, delicious.All-in-all a fun experience and Im sure well be back, if nothing else for the cafe experience.We got a bunch from the case as well and will update as we get through them.

We had wonderful visit! Thank you Kayla for going above and beyond for my Dad and I. This was our final stop for his birthday and without even knowing that you made it the most special part of our day. This was also the first time Dad has tried something beyond black coffee and he absolutely loved it. We cant wait to come back!

Exquisite chocolate for people who love the finer things in life. Usually a great gift for my wife on special occasions. The strawberry rhubarb is her favorite with the orange cream and raspberry a close second.

Review №57

This chocolate shop is high end. They had chocolates, icream and drinks available for purchase. I went to get a gift for my fathers birthday. I was promptly greeted. The lady that attended to me was polite and answered all my questions about price and gift boxing. I bought a box of 9 connoisseur chocolates and three different truffles. It was a little under 40 dollars. The truffles were crisp and not overly sweet. I choose the Black and White, Carmel, and Dark chocolate. They connoisseur chocolates come in exotic flavors and were exactly what I was looking for. I will be retuning in the future for gifts.

I placed an order with DeBrand for their famous caramel apples for the office. The order was ready and due to some unforeseen circumstances we needed to make some changes at the last minute. The staff and the owner Bill was very helpful and quite understanding! Due to their gratuitous nature, we will definitely be back! Highly recommend them for any functions that include chocolate and everything else you can imagine involving a sweet tooth. Truly and utterly decadent.

Great to see DeBrand back in Indianapolis! Thank you, Cathy and the Indy franchisees! Our hometown is Fort Wayne, where DeBrand is from. When we lived there we went countless times, and were really hoping that Indy reopened after over a decade hiatus.Weve told people in Indy and literally around the country and world that DeBrand is the best chocolate cafe anywhere. Period.While the Indy location has a more limited menu than Fort Wayne locations, at least so far, sundaes, chocolate drinks, and a huge variety of chocolates are here. Elegance and attention to detail & palate make DeBrand #1. They truly are heads and shoulders above the competition. Move over Godiva, South Bend Chocolate Cafe, and all others.

First time visiter and it was real fancy. I went with a study group and the employees were very professional and courteous. There is a room near the back where you can sit, sip, and study. Very spacious. Music playing was very relaxing. Not too loud, so it did not disturb us while studying. I ordered the featured iced carmal mocha. It was very delicious! 😋 will return and refer to others

I have been back twice now for the chocolate covered scoop! Must try, unless you dont enjoy decadently rich. They have affagotos too. And specialty coffee drinks, and of course a selection of fine chocolates.

Review №79

They have beautiful displays of chocolate. They have a wide range of products. Unfortunately, the quality of the chocolate isnt any better than Hersheys. The difference is that Debrand costs 10x more than Hersheys. It was a nice experience to try the store, but their chocolate wasnt anything special.

Review №82

When only the best of chocolates will do, and you want it over fresh, juicy, strawberries on a plate covered with caramel with truffles wrapped and ready to go for later, as in for the drive home, go to Debrand Fine Chocolate.They have rooms available for desert after dine elsewhere to accommodate your group of friends.

Friendly, helpful staff, interesting chocolate flavors. Ask for samples. The café menu is interesting. Try the affogato if you like espresso and ice cream. Fun, but not cheap.

I have been indulging in DeBrands for many years, best chocolates anywhere. I once got a ticket for no seatbelt when I unbuckled it just for a moment to reach into a new box I had just purchased..lol. My only complaint is the lack of flavors in the classi collection. They once had a Cherry cream and it was divine. I miss the Maple Nut cream and I would love a coconut almond.

Review №95

We visited today with our toddler son after stopping in Barnes and Noble next door. The ice cream is delicious, but even better are the coffee drinks that are served in real mugs. They even have a 32oz ceramic mug that they will serve drinks in. My husband and I both agreed we should come back when we feel like having a coffee or dessert date for the atmosphere, which was way more intimate and quiet than a starbucks. The staff was incredibly welcoming as well, especially the cashier on July 10 at 2pm ( maybe Paula?). From the chocolate tour of the case, knowledgeable suggestions and the intuitive service, everything was on point. This is exactly how brand loyalty should be built, instead of punchcards and gimmicks. It was certainly the highlight of our day. We will definitely be back.
