Best ice cream in Rochester. I like that they value quality over quantity in terms of their flavor offerings. Staff is nice and the owners take covid seriously, which I really appreciate.
Hedonist is always fantastic. The chocolate work is always perfect. The slated caramels are a must but they also have a ton of special and fancy flavored truffles that are fun to try. The chocolate dipped figs are also one of our favorites. You cant go wrong here. Their ice cream store right next door is also phenomenal!
Amazing local shop for ice cream. Vegan options. Love! 💕
I am lactose intolerant, but Hedonist always has at least two interesting flavors to choose from. Yesterday I had guava sorbet. Delicious!
Went there for the ice cream. Oh so good. Tasted like home made.
I do not plan on ever returning to this place, ever. The product is very delicious. The people employed there, a different story. My wife and I went in and we were very polite and trying to make friendly conversation. The kid getting our ice cream, had a lot of passive/aggressive comments or sounds coming out. I was not happy about this while he was serving us and to be honest I just wanted to leave. We try to help out small businesses, this one, never again. Next time, who ever is serving, maybe just try being polite to customers We all have bad days, but no excuse to be rude and insulting to the customers.
The person who served us was funny, engaging, and awesome. The ice cream was SO delicious and creamy. Definitely recommend!
Very good Chocolate and killer ice cream next door. Your sweet tooth will not be disappointed.
Excellent chocolate, unique flavors, great service, reasonable prices. 10/10 would recommend. Partner loved the gift’
The chocolate here is to die for! It is worth every penny! The assortment is awesome!
The truffles are delicious! Currently the are only letting 4 customers in the store at a time to maintain social distancing ( the store is tiny) If you are on a tight budget check the seconds bin for a discounted bag of chocolate. These misshapen chocolate might not be as beautiful but they are still very tasty.
Nice people, but the ice cream is very average and way overpriced
Server used the same gloves he previously had on when we walked in to grab our cones, credit card machine was filthy. However, ice cream was delicious.
The chocolate is delicious. Bring your mask.
Amazing dairy free chocolate sorbet as always!
Love dark chocolate candy
Great ice cream.
Good chocolate...yummm
Almond toffee chocolate bark. Delicious combination!!
Best ice cream in the city
Delicious and creative chocolates. Expensive but worth it for gifts or a treat for yourself!
I went here years ago with a friend, phenomenal chocolate
Small little place 1 party in at a time (covid). The line can be long causing a wait 10/20 minutes or longer. But its worth it.
Custom made chocolates!
Overpriced for the actual worst ice cream I’ve ever had and poor customer service. There was also a hair in girlfriends ice cream. Pretty unfortunate.
Best chocolate shop ever! I absolutely love hedonist.
This is the best chocolate in the whole world! I got my daughter a box of the salted caramels to celebrate her coming home from the hospital after major surgery. Her response after the first bite: “Sweet Heaven!” It really is. Ummmmmm
Great ice cream Great staff
Looking for Nirvana? Its at Hedonist Artisan Chocolates!
Always great chocolate
Decent small batch home made ice cream. Very small store. Employees not always welcoming
Best ice cream in Rochester
The best chocolate and service ever.
Rochester is lucky to have such an amazing shop! Many cities dont have anything like this. Yes the prices are up there, but you cannot get Tiffanys at Walmart either. If you have a loved one with a special day, you need go no further than Hedonist. Extremely recommended, make someone in your life happy and get them some chocolate today.
Nice little place. Chocolates are delicious. Expensive but delicious. The ice cream shop next door had some amazing salted caramel ice cream. Definitely a place to check out.
If you know, you know.
Its a must go for anyone who loves chocolate.
Go. Just go. Three thumbs way up!The ice cream selections change up seasonally, the chocolates are delish. Truffles and chocolate bark are tasty. Yum
Love their chocolate. It makes great gifts, too
Mediocre chocolate at a very high price point, the young man working was very kind and outgoing, however we were disappointed that several of the chocolates did not live up to their titles, for example Tiny Toffee is a coconut/pistachio truffle, and Champagne Pomegranate didn’t really taste like either. Hedonist has tremendous potential and hopefully can revitalize the legendary quality it was once known for.
I just savored the goodness of these chocolates for the very first time- definitely lives up to the hype! Cranberry, Expresso and Smoked Salt- I can taste each flavor listed! Whats really great is that they have the discounted chocolates for half off. So thats what I took advantage of, and gladly so. I shared pieces with all my co workers and it totally made our day! Not sure about that 1 star review- because this was absolutely superb!
Visited with my girlfriend after lunch one day. We were offered samples of each of their flavors, but after trying out the Salted Caramel and Goat Cheese Whisky Fig we knew what we were getting. My Whisky Fig was very rich without any one flavor overpowering the rest. The salted caramel had the perfect blend of sweet and salty. I was a little worried about the $4/scoop price tag, but we wound up getting two scoops and the quality was definitely worth it. The interior is simple but classy and there are some really excellent lunch-themed restaurants nearby.
I had a scoop each of the strawberry ice cream and the chocolate sorbet. Each flavor was delicious but the combination was sublime. Best chocolate sorbet Ive ever had.
Delicious chocolates made local and with love. Dont miss out on the sesame bark! So so good. Check out their ice cream shop next door!
I guess if you go already knowing you like something there it might be good, but the selection is so limited it really wasnt worth the trip. Did not live up to the hype.
Great and interesting flavors. Definitely go try them out!
Stopped in on Independence Day for some ice cream with my girlfriend. We were running an errand and just needed something cold for the blistering heat of the holiday. Instead we found some fabulous new tastes crafted by the staff. She had chocolate sesame waffle cone and I had a root beer float. The waffle cones were freshly made, they didnt have more then a handful waiting for people to walk in the shop and order a cone. All of the ice cream we tried were well put-together tastes, but this is a place for someone who is looking for a complicated taste.
Best.place.ever. They helped us with a fundraiser and I am very appreciative. Staff was very friendly and the location was implacably clean.
Tastiest chocolate I’ve ever had, I really enjoyed the honey bee one. And the dairy free ice cream 😍
The chocolate is very good and of exceptional quality, but the prices are rather steep and the selection is definitely for those of the more advent palettes. They lack a lot of the traditional chocolates and truffles in favor of unique and different flavors
Great candy and really nice friendly staff.
Some of the greatest chocolates I have ever had. They have a refined selection and prices are reasonable. The gelato is also amazing.
Best chocolate in Rochester. No contest. Friendly and patient service with me today was the highlight of a challenging morning!
Great chocolate. You would be hard pressed to find any better.
Unbelievable chocolates
Always the best chocolate and a fantastic ice cream bar besides.
Delicious artisan chocolates. Perfect for gifts!
Excellent though expensive homemade chocolate truffles and bark with unique and traditional flavors.
Sooooo gooddddd!!!!! I understand the chocolate is hand made and amazing, but I still think its wayyyy over priced
Good affordable chocolate
My wife loves there vegan chocolates.
Delicious, decadent and pretty dark chocolate salted caramel truffle. Yum! Definitely recommend these as special gifts.
My favorite place for fresh & local chocolate!
Excellent chocolates, although limited variety. Be sure to grab a bag from the rejects bin.
Amazing chocolates! high quality and friendly staff!
One of the best chocolate shops in Rochester and by far the most creative in flavors,textures and concepts.The only molecular gastronomy chocolatiers in Rochester.Their chocolates are unparalleled in flavor,creativity and execution.When I die I want a box of their chocolates buried with me.
Best chocolate sorbet ever!
Just had a rockstar root-beer float here. It was kind of like going to Ansel Adams to get a family portrait, but if you have a sweet tooth, this is the place to hang out.
This chocolate is pricey but very tasty! Check out their ice cream store next door.
Their chocolates are out of this world!
Amazing chocolate and ice cream. Pricey, but worth the expense for an occasional treat.
So so good!
Great service and great chocolates
Some of the best chocolate I have ever had
The ice cream was the worst Ive ever had. Didnt try the chocolates, so not sure about those (heard good things).
Just....The Ice cream!!!! You can’t go wrong!!!
Great icecream
Honest ice cream
Artisan for sure
Very friendly.

Amazing hand crafted chocolates. The salted caramels where soft and delicious. I need to go back and try the ice cream.
