Small Sips Only - Edit
The chocolate drinks here are so good you’ll catch yourself taking small sips to not finish your drink too quickly! Honestly, I’ve never tasted chocolate drinks with such definition! A must-visit every time I’m in Idyllwild.

Fun - Edit
They have so many different chocolates and even milkshakes. Just keep in mind lots of them have honey but they are clearly labeled. I was a huge fan of their vegan chocolate milkshake.

So awesome!!! Very nice people - Edit
They have an abundance of knowledge about cacao and most of their chocolates are vegan!!! I had a “dirty vegan” shake which was vanilla oat milk ice cream and. a shot of espresso!!! It was the perfect start for the hot sunny day ahead of us here in Idyllwild!!!

All chocolate is dairy free, but some contain honey. Everything is made in the shop. You can see them making it! It’s all amazing. You must stop here if you’re in town.

Vegan chocolate? Yes please! - Edit
I had oatmilk cappuccino, Turkish fig dipped in chocolate, and another chocolate treat called strawberry crunch. Some chocolates are sweetened with honey, but are clearly marked. Dairy is offered with coffee drinks, otherwise everything is vegan. Friendly place!

Don’t miss the Mexican coffee! - Edit
Owned by the husband and wife chocolatiers who start from scratch with cocoa (cacao?) beans, the literally handcrafted chocolates are the essence of chocolate. We had the shareable two-bite sized 80% chocolate with sea salt and a four-bite sized peanut butter cup along with the sweet/spicy hot Mexican coffee! WOW - don’t miss it. The perfect late afternoon snack on a cold, sunny Spring day after a hike.

Best Chocolate Experience - Edit
Amazing home made chocolate. Best chocolate experience regardless of whether you're vegan or not. We were in town for the week and came in 3 times.
Read moreHad one of the hot chocolates on the first visit - AMAZING!
We then came back for Sipping chocolate and a truffle.
We delayed our departure so we could stop in one more time on the way out of town. We had a spicy hot chocolate and picked up a half dozen bars as gifts.
Friendly, family owned business. A wonderful experience. We hope to return...if not we can just order on line.
Pros: Vegan options for shakes., Friendly, Family owned

Amazing! - Edit
The best chocolate shake I have ever had! Even better than any I have tasted before going vegan! The staff was very friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful! Truffles were all great, and so were all of the chocolate bars. It was so nice to walk into a chocolate shop with so many vegan options! I can't wait to go back!
Read morePros: they also had non-vegan chocolate shakes/ice cream
