Whenever we have visitors from out of town, this place is always a must. And for good reason too! Wonderful choice of ice creams and other sweets. Staff always have a positive and friendly attitude as well.

The chocolates never disappoint, and their selection is wide enough that I can always find something for the not-so-easy-to-please chocoholics in my life. It's great that they're open late!

The cakes are amazing! That is really all I ever get. Be ready to split it! One slice of cake can be shared with at least 2 more people! Any Day's A Holiday Cake is my all time favorite cake! The alternating layers of yellow and chocolate cake are deliciously complimented by chocolate buttercream icing! This is a classic flavor!

Could have been a very good flourless chocolate cake had it not been served very cold and then when asked to have it warmed up, it was microwaved to a soft brie like flow. Coffee available only in paper cups and this with what was fine chocolate, ill presented.

If you're diabetic or trying to get into swimsuit shape, you're out of lucky. If not, then this is a MUST when visiting Houston! We've been here numerous times as a family over the last many years. Its been particularly fun as the boys are getting older and becoming more aware of the various smells, sights, tastes offered in this... More

If you are looking to get CHOCOLATE WASTED this is the place to go! They have any and everything there is chocolate and it's all so delicious! Tried a 7 layer chocolate cake, brownies and chocolate cheese cake...all to die for! A bit on the expensive side, but well worth it if you want to indulge a little!

Just had the Oreo cheesecake but it was good. You get a good-sized slice for $7 (I had leftovers), large enough that I might say they should sell less cake for a smaller price and I would be satisfied. It was good cake, very rich. The place was packed and a little loud.

I was excited to take a trip to the Chocolate Bar. However, I was sorely disappointing at the service my husband and myself received once there. While there were several young servers behind the counter, no one made an effort to help us. The just gave us a blank look. One guy just kept wiping the counter and looking up... More
