The best hot chocolate I've ever had in America. It's so rich and decadent that it overflowed with 3 different kinds of melted and shaved chocolate !!

Chocolate treats are better than hot chocolates . Get the chocolate peanut butter pretzel (AMAZING) and truffles ! Buy the $6-for-$10 deal on Yelp to get 10 truffles for $6 (normally $2 per truffle ).

Gigi

Do not take out . Sit down and enjoy the artistic creations. The cannoli are so good. My favorite drink so far is the marshmallow brûlée hot chocolate !

Sarina

I liked the coffee americano but if you are thinking about coming here to do work, finding a plug is next to impossible and the table is only big enough for a laptop.

Quickly becoming a Philly institution. Come for a volcano (best hot chocolate drink in the city ), come BACK for Rene, who makes every visit an event . You'll be hooked... everyone is.

Speciality drinks and the chocolate , oh, the chocolate ! Rim is someone you have to meet. A gem for South Philadelphia!

Rene is an amazing, eccentric chocolatier . Get the VOLCANO and you're sold. It's entertaining watching him make it.

Volcano salted caramel : the chocolate is amazing!

Quirky little place to get an espresso .

Candace Marie

Chai tea and cannoli 😍. Unique place

Sophia H

Dark lava ganache = okay but way too bitter, even for me (a dark chocolate lover). Godfather tiramisu is pretty good, a bit too sweet though lol.

Gabriel Evans

The volcano is amazing

Closed for most of the summer while Rene goes back to Monaco to spend time with his fam.

The tips seem pleasant, but the atmosphere was far from that. The workers were very rude.
