Cocoa + Co. Coffee and Chocolate Cafe - Chocolate shop in Chicago - 1651 N Wells St, USA

Wonderfully cute little shop and a wonderland if you love chocolate like me because this place is about chocolate and chocolate only! They have dozens of single origin artisanal chocolate bars to try, an entire drinking chocolate menu, handmade chocolate shells, at home drinking chocolate bags, coffee and some baked goods as well. We tried a classic dark hot chocolate and a Parisian hot chocolate. To my surprise the classic was darker and chocolatier where the Parisienne was more sweet and milky. I honestly love the classic for the deep bitter chocolate profile for it. The design and simplicity in the store is very calming, there is a very clean energy in there. I wish the staff were a tad more energetic and welcoming because I honestly felt like I was interrupting their conversation by ordering something. I wouldn’t travel for this hot chocolate but if I find myself in the area again I would get a cup.

We did paid street parking close-by. Not a five star review only because they don’t have enough seats. The tables close to the window were so close to each other, it was hard to have a conversation with my gf. I had the butterscotch Chai latte, it was so delicious. The pastry was also yum.

Very plain hot chocolate. Tasted like the hot cocoa mix from target…the one from trader joe even tasted better than this. Don’t get it. Chocolate bar is okay.

Always a delicious experience here especially if you are a chocoholic. You can come in to enjoy a hot drinking chocolate and dessert or a latte drink and pastry. There are gourmet chocolate bars, mini chocolates and huge peanut butter cups so you can nibble on a few with your hot chocolate or buy some for a gift. The staff here are very knowledgeable so if you're not sure which drinking chocolate or dessert to try they can give you their solid suggestions. My favorite dessert here is the German chocolate 🍫 and it's extremely filling and rich so skip lunch if that's your poison. After a cold 🥶 walk in the Gold coast it's relaxing to just enjoy a got chocolate and in the summer the frozen chocolate drinks are just as good and you can sit outside when the weather allows!

They were out of oat milk so I went with just a plain iced americano. Simply delicious. Such great espresso! And I finally got my chocolate croissant! Honestly, one of the best croissants I've ever had in my life...and I've been to France.

If you love chocolate this is the place to stop by! The drinking chocolate is delicious 😋 and creamy. They have handcrafted ice cream sandwiches and lots of yummy chocolate as well. Try the hazelnut chocolate bar, the smores chocolate, or pick up some of the fancy imported bars they have around the shop. Staff are super friendly.

For any and all chocolate lovers, this store is a nested shrine to cocoa. In this area, I don’t think another place could compare. I went in to try a coffee and pastry, as I was curious about the chocolate selection but wasn’t in the mood to drink chocolate. Since the store’s a bit small, the layout and flow is a little awkward with distancing in place. Nevertheless, had a slightly higher priced latte than I was used to (typical of La Colombe imo) and a very very good, unique pastry! As much as the pastry was delicious, I didn’t have a great experience. The first employee, though I was the only customer, was quite unhelpful and felt disinterested in answering any of my questions. It was hard to read or discern the menu for all the food and drink options. Thank goodness a second employee appeared to help me and recommend something to eat. As a chocolate store, I am excited by all the drinkable chocolate items! However, if I’m to visit again, it would be for those items specifically. Did not feel like I was welcome to explore the options available, even though I was a lone customer in the store.

me and my family came to try the coffees, and as we were trying to look at the menu, they were extremely rude towards us. me and my family always try to be nice to people and don’t make big deals out of things. this is the first negative review i’ve ever written. the entire time (literally every second) we were looking at the menu, we got extremely dirty looks from the employees. i was being badly stared at nonstop, although i smiled and nodded as i came in. it only stopped once we left. it was one of the most uncomfortable/rudest places i have been, therefore we won’t ever be going.
