A special treat The staff is always very pleasant and customers are often offered a free sample chocolate. Everything is expensive, so it's a real treat to come here - a special occassion. Their hot chocolates are rich and gourmet - my favorite is the mayan. Most of all I love the gelatto. Again, the mayan is my favorite. I guess I'm all about spicy rich chocolate.
Disappointing These chocolates are disappointing for the price. I love chocolate so I go here from time to time when it is the only place close by. The flavors and concoctions are interesting and would be quite good, but they are often stale. Maybe this shop doesn't turn the items often enough, but at $2 & $3 for a tiny chocolate, they should be perfect!
Brave new chocolate Although the flavors are a bit scary at first it's definitely worth trying at least one even the firecracker chocolate which comes with pop rocks inside! But my all time favorite is the passion fruit caramel chocolate!
"Chew-Wow" Crafting delicate bonbons with fillings of lemon-and-mint-infused caramel or dulce de leche buttercream, Chuao celebrates the art of the sweet. The chocolatier uses rich Venezuelan chocolate and fresh ingredients ranging from bananas and raspberries to mascarpone cheese. Bonbons and truffles are $1.75 apiece, with packages starting at $15 for nine pieces.
Chuao Chocolatier has a 4 star rating with 26 reviews.
