Thank you so much for existing! Your lemon bars (when in season) are some of the most yummy things Ive ever had!Today I had one of your pumpkin bars (my husband drove two hours to Madison to surprise me with them!), and they too, were absolutely delicious!Cant wait to try the chocolate croissant tomorrow morning!

It was ok. The coffee was not great. I was really rather disappointed by it. Now I cant speak for the chocolate and other treats they create. But tons of people came in to get some, so I must assume that they are good. Ive also been told that they have the best miel in town. So try that. The inside area was also way too small. Definitely not designed to be a place where you can go to study. Parking was also tight and cramped, but thats mostly due to the fact that a huge truck is hard to park in most places.

Megan was awesome to work with as she helped me with my wedding favors. The 2 box favor has a beautiful logo and even a sheet that explains the chocolate. These were perfect for guests as they were just the right amount of chocolate. I would recommend to use Madison Chocolates for wedding favors to anyone as they were good to work with, delivered on time, and offer a quality wedding favor.

This is one of my favorite places to go! They have good coffee, great bakery (all gluten free!), and tons of other wonderful things to eat and look at! Their chocolates are so good! Ghost pepper lattes? Amazing! Plus I can’t stop eating their entire selection of scones. Super cute place, and would recommend a visit!

Lots of cute gift stuff inside. Chocolate is pricey! Vanilla bean latte was *very* sweet, but had good flavor. Outdoor seating was available too.

Chocolate and coffee shop - great combo. I got a couple of Ghost Pepper Caramels - I was thinking it might be too hot but it was a subtle heat that was well accented by the chocolates and caramel flavors. Also got some berry bark which was fantastic. Topped it all off with an orange mocha. Not sweet, hint of orange - perfection. Really nice staff and shop. I will visit again.

This café is delightful. Cozy atmosphere, great jazz Playlist and the employees there were incredibly cordial and very helpful in explaining the different assortments of chocolates and coffees. I had a latte which was surprisingly good. Extremely smooth with fruity and foral accents at the end.The Turkish coffee chocolate is a great blend of coffee, spice and chocolate. The star anise does not overpower the rest of the chocolate and the crunch of the coffee bits compliment the buttery smooth texture of the ganache-like chocolate inside. The mini caramel turtle was not too thick in texture and had a satisfying salty accent and struck a nice balance with the crunchy pecan on top.5/5 would come back again. Cant imagine cafes get much better than this here in Madison.

This is a decadent treat I cant help but give in to! I love when my boss has me run an errand here! I love to pretend that I wont give in and get a ghost pepper latte this time, but I always do. They are just too fantastic to pass up. The only reason I cant get one every time is that they are a little expensive for a latte in Madison. The staff is super helpful and patient when I place a weird or large order. I love this place. It is in a weird spot in Madison, but I think that gives it a little bit of neighborhood charm.

Review №16

Best Valentines gift ever! The chocolate is amazing!!! I love supporting local business, and Madison Chocolate Company does not disappoint. The Passion fruit truffle was one of the most decadent things I have ever tasted. The salted caramel was also amazing, I had to hide the box from my kids so they wouldnt steal any, and I could enjoy the chocolates in my own time.

This is a great shop and the best chocolate shop in the area in my opinion. Why? They not only make their own stunning original confections, they also are the only place in town with such an amazing selection of single origin bar chocolates. Im so happy we finally have a place in Madison to buy that kind of chocolate. The coffee is also really good, hot chocolate is stunning and they have Jenis ice cream... Were lucky to have this shop.

Review №21

Nice coffee shop and chocolate shop. Probably a little pricey compared to other places, but quality is higher and it seems to be all made in house so that is to be expected. Parking was not ideal but typical of the area. Definitely worth checking out. The chocolate definitely looked gift worthy.

I called ahead. I had a very specific idea of what I wanted: a dense chocolate cake that would make me feel twice my weight by the time I got to bed. The employee told me he knew exactly what I wanted and that they didn’t have that exactly I went by anyway and got one of the best desserts I’ve ever had. Five stars for sincere service and a genuine desire to make my 20-minute weeknight date a special, memorable experience.

This shop has a lovely and inviting atmosphere; there are places to sit or you can take your goodies to go. Megan Hile, the owner, talked with us about how some of the chocolates were made while we were making our chocolate selections, which was really great. Freshly made chocolates in the case – all of the ones we tried were delicious! Parking in the back was easily accessible. Highly recommend giving this place a visit!

I drive 40 minutes to have their hot chocolate and any of their pastries because they are all excellent. The turtle brownie is amazing if you like a very rich chocolate treat. Also, dont forget to try their chocolate caramels and truffles! The shop is set up very COVID safe. Jean Maddrell

Cute little coffee shop now with delicious expanded weekend menu with Waffles! Chocolates are interesting pairs of spice, savory and sweet. Be sure to try ghost pepper caramel--NOT as spicy as you would think and a nice creamy caramel that melts in your mouth!Sea salt caramel latte is a MUST with oat milk.Its a great place to get gifts to take back or to say thank you.

We came for lunch on a Saturday. Two of us got the spinach and mushroom quiche, another got the ham and cheese waffle. The waffle was huge and covered in shredded Swiss cheese and slices of ham. The quiche was thick and tasty, with a flakey crust. The best thing though was the coconut and chocolate scone. It was amazing!

I came home one day, and my wife wanted me to try a gluten free brownie. I said Ill pass. I tend to not like gluten free sweets.She promised me I would like it. She was so wrong... I LOVED it. They are the best brownies on this planet. They also have very good chocolate chip cookies.

Review №57

The sign outside said Awesome Waffles; let me tell you that was an understatement.My daughter and I came upon this place by accident because of a shortage of time. What a treasure. I was doubly rewarded that all there bakery items are gluten free. My daughter had a waffle and I had a hand pie. It was so delicious, I simply had to get another hand pie to save for another day. We bought some chocolates too. Cutely decorated and super scrumptious. I really hope people take my words to heart and go in search of this little peace of heaven whenever they are in the Madison area.

The place is in a great location, easy to find and has its own parking area! As for the chocolates, they are absolutely phenomenal! Very high quality ingredients are used in each piece of chocolate and all chocolates are gluten free :) The flavors in the chocolates can vary and yet, match beautifully such as passion fruit, ghost peppers, bourbon, among others. Excellent!

A strong chocolate game with some equally great coffee. Havent had a single disappointing bite here, and there are some tasty looking vegan options. The entire facility is gluten free.Edit: Have finished the 16 piece set (give me one of everything in the case) and will stand by my earlier statement - not a single disappointing bite, everything was fantastic. The Blueberry Basil was especially memorable.

Review №61

Madison Chocolate Company is fantastic. I work next door and visit 5 days a week for my morning coffee. MCC utilizes a local Madison coffee roaster (Kin Kin) for their quality and responsibly sourced coffee beans. Oh and should I mention the chocolate!? It is the best in town, the state, and beyond! Ive also utilized MCC for gifts (chocolate, coffee, hot chocolate mix, nice cards, etc.) and everyone is always delighted with what they receive.

Honestly this is the best cup of coffee in Madison. A welcome relief from the dark roast enablers that mob the Madison 3rd wave coffee scene. And then there is chocolate....

Review №64

Very nice little Shop. Kin kin coffee and by far the best ganache drink in Madison. Chocolates are definitely worth the hype and the price. Truly a craft for the owners and makers. Beautiful decor, but the store is a quick in and out versus a cozy stay a while. This place will make valentines day an easy choice.

Review №65

The only place in the area that carries Jenis ice creams! Also, the chocolates surprise me every time with how good they are. The liquid caramels may not sound as exciting as some of the other flavors, but they are So. Good. Also, they have a chocolate library wall with a bunch of super fancy bars. The parking lot can be a little tight, but at least they have a lot.

Great little chocolate shop, a great addition to this neighborhood. Chocolates are high quality and the price reflects that. Dont expect cheap chocolate. Staff is knowledgeable and helpful with questions. Lovely for handcrafted gift giving.. the receivers may not share the goods! but they sure appreciate it. Go get your chocolate on!

Really interesting and artisanal chocolates. Make a box or grab some craft chocolate bars to go. They also have coffee and a couple tables to relax. Their chocolates are really delicious. Cant wait to go back. I avoided the spot for awhile due to its odd location & construction. Dont make my mistake; check it out! Theyve got off road parking in the back.

Review №72

We got two waffles, a travel mug coffee refill, and two tiny cups of hot chocolate. The bill came to $26 -$28. A bit pricey. I know the waffles were $8 each, but didnt look at the cost of the other items. It seems like the cost if the other stuff must be in line with other coffee shops in the area.It was not at all busy, there were several empty tables, nevertheless it took almost a half hour for two waffles to come out if the kitchen. They were very good waffles, but if average size, and with no toppings (I didnt opt for them). A half hour to produce two waffles and put some syrup and butter into small cups seems excessively slow.The location is not great due to parking, and the place is very small. There are some interesting looking chocolate items in the case, but given the other options in the area, nothing on this first visit was compelling enough to make this a place I go to regularly.

I was looking for a specific type of candy WITH peanuts and called a few local chocolate shops. One said Well have that in 2 weeks. One said We have a peanut candy, but its spicy and not my first choice. Madison Chocolate Company said, Ooh, we have a Peanut Butter Chew-Chew that people are going nuts over! The drive there was almost as enjoyable as the atmosphere, all windy roads near the arboretum, and I LOVED the covered off-street parking! Thats a HUGE bonus for me because I like to run errands with my dogs and leave the sun roof open for them. The service was excellent. The decor has a cozy yet airy, comfortable-with-a dash-of-whimsical vibe that made me wish I couldve stayed longer. Ill definitely be bringing my bestie and hubby here for a coffee & dessert outing.

When I stopped in for hot chocolate and realized there were no tons available, one of the fine M.C.C. employees went back and made some for me on the spot.

First, the staff is so friendly, there is one girl in particular that is so very sweet and helpful.Second, that ghost pepper latte, I dont even like coffee (especially not lattes), but that is so tasty. What kind of witchcraft is this?? Its perfectly spicy and smooth.Lastly, the chocolate! So fresh tasting. Great variety available everytime, and really solid flavor that doesnt disappoint. As a former chocolatier, I approve.Oh yeah and theyre open late. Perfect for after a wine tasting/after dinner.

Omg their hand made chocolates are the most unique and delicious confections Ive ever had! I strongly suggest the London Chew, the Cheddar Chew, or any of their caramels.
