Reviews of Katherine Anne Confections

S. D.

Highly Recommend: the hot chocolate is amazing here. Many different varieties offered. I had the flight with - 3 small cups of different hot chocolates to try. The marshmallows on top taste really good as well. I enjoyed the bittersweet the most, but all were really great. It helps to have a nice cup of hot chocolate on a cold day in a place that smells like heaven. Will be back again to try some of their chocolate candy.

Delicious and rich. You need to sip it. The flight concept for hot chocolate is a really good idea because you get to try three different flavors. The big size (13 oz) is probably too much (i took half of it to go). The cinnamon marshmallows were very good. There are about five small tables inside. Two are big enough for 4 people i believe. I look forward to going back.

Go for its spectacular selections of chocolate. But stay for its even better hot chocolate especially those with bourbon in them. These beverages are so heavy that they feel like a full meal. Plus the flavor of bourbon really comes through. Truly a gem in Logan Square.

Very friendly and enthusiastic, patient and helpful with suggestions for what hot chocolate to try. I eventually settled on the flight. Each was outstanding. I don't see how anyone would be disappointed with any choice.

I have only had the hot chocolate (drinking chocolate) when I come here but it is so good I could swim in it. It’s so thick and filling that it’s basically a meal on its own. I’ve had the milk chocolate, salted caramel and the Mexican; all are phenomenal. The marshmallow on top is literally the icing on the cake. It slowly melts, creating a froth on top of the drink making it the perfect pairing.

Omg YUUUUM! Definitely rexommend this place. It’s a chocolate wonderland! Definitely recommend the Salted Caramel Drinking Chocolate and the Ham and Aged Cheddar Bread.

Tyrell Shoemaker

Thick, delicious, rich delightfulness in a mug! But first of all, the space is super cool, it is small so don't like being all your friends at once, but very cozy and beautifully decorated. The sipping chocolate is so amazing! I had the brown butter old fashioned, with a vanilla and a salted caramel marshmallow (two free with 13oz drink), the flavor was exquisite. The salted caramel marshmallow started to take over a bit so I are it quickly, but with one of the regular chocolates I imagine it would be absolutely perfect. What I enjoyed most is that I was able to sit quietly in the old chairs and reflect on the day without any disruption. Perfect spot to get away and have a little comfort in a mug.

Such a cute and cozy little place! The sipping chocolates are absolutely decadent! I've gone a few times now and each time the drinks were perfect and the staff was so nice and helpful. My favorite so far is the Mexican with a vanilla bean marshmallow; spicy, rich, creamy and amazing!

Brittany Burns

This is the best place in the city for homemade chocolates and made from scratch hot chocolate. I came here for both and introduced my mom for the first time and she loved it! I also picked up packaged items for my grandma for Mother's Day! The service was exceptional unfortunately I did not get his name.

Gidget Moore-Hopper

I tried your marshmallows at Whole Foods and was so in awww of how delicious they taste...I bought the cinnamon sugar, vanilla bean and the salted caramel...I also looked up your location and wow cant wait to try your other items...called your store and spoke to Joe to give you a high five for such deliciousness!😋💯 …

Quan Le

The hot chocolate was thick, super chocolaty, rich, and mouthwatering, even though I myself found it quite overly sweet to me, especially the salted caramel hot chocolate. The decor was lovely and beautiful. The ambiance was cozy and warm. The staff was friendly, helpful, and efficient.

Kathleen O'Keefe

This small cafe packs a big punch. If you love fancy hot chocolate but can’t finish a giant one on your own, Katherine Anne’s offers a smaller flight perfect for splitting. I had the turkey sandwich with cranberry chutney and it was so good. Obviously everything is fresh and the people who make it enjoy what they do. Skip the hype of Mindy’s and go to Katherine Anne’s for something a little more local feeling. Plus you can buy the hot chocolate mixes to take home or gift. I love this place.

Beth Gaby

Had the best hot chocolate and a few pieces of the blood orange cranberry truffle. Heaven!!! A great way to start 2023

After receiving a gift of Katherine Ann Confections truffles, I was very curious to try it. I heard how delicious their hot chocolate is as well. No wonder they were named as one of the best 15 hot chocolates in America by Fodor travel. Hearing that they are also able to cater to special diets (e.g., vegan and food allergies) made this place a must for our next visit to Chicago. On a very snowy day in February we made the drive from Wisconsin for a special birthday celebration and finally got to visit and enjoy the worry free (more on this later) delights at Katherine Ann Confections in Logan Square. And by we, I mean, a vegan, a dairy free person and someone with nut and peanut allergies. As we walked in, the place eluded a warm casual atmosphere. Unlike some other places in Chicago, we could sit down and enjoy our hot chocolates (don't recall the place in Wicker Park, but they had no seating, just a restaurant). For those familiar with the microbrewery experience, the hot chocolate experience is similar. The staff is very friendly and they pay attention to detail and special dietary needs. And in our case the skill was critical. I don't eat dairy but am not a vegan, then we had a few vegans in the group, and one person who has a nut allergy. Only one of the five had no special diet or requests. So yes, this was a complicated order for 5 people. I placed the order and while they cannot guarantee nut free (that is reasonable, it is not a nut free facility), they do take extra care to segregate the ingredients and make a deliberate effort not to cross contaminate during preparation. So yes, it's not 100% risk free, but I felt comfortable trying it because the staff was very knowledgeable. When I ordered my dairy free drinking chocolate (this is not just hot chocolate, but heaven in liquid form), they double-checked that marshmallow was ok for me. This is because marshmallows are often made with animal products. It was fine for me because I'm not a vegan. They pay attention to detail and truly understand their ingredients. But the vegans in the group were ok with nuts and they had nut milk (which I avoid and we had someone with a nut allergy). A fairly complicated order and they got everything right. The order: It was delicious and served in an aesthetic way. The flight of hot chocolate/liquid chocolate drink was out of this world. I am not even a big fan of hot chocolate but do make it for special events. I make it with fine Dutch cocoa and it's still nowhere near as good as what I drank Katherine's. Each one with unique flavors and the marshmallows were out of this world too; they were delicious. The truffles, again like no other. I am a fan of Godiva truffles and was told, once you have truffles at Katherine's you will not be so fond of Godiva. They were right. And the person with the nut allergy was also able to enjoy these truffles. A first experience for them. Most confections are at high risk of cross contamination with nuts. Also, no mess up with the order and because the server asked the right questions, no worries either that there was a high probability of an error for the allergy or special diets (vegan and dairy free). I cannot recommend Katherine's Confections highly enough. To be able to cater to all these diets and allergies and yet provide the ultimate chocolate experience deserves more than 5 stars.

From the moment you walk in, the entire atmosphere of Katherine Anne's Confections wraps you in a wonderful smelling hug. The layout is classy without being stuffy. The menu is diverse without being overwhelming, and the theme is french without being snobby. When you step to the counter, a friendly staff member, or maybe even the owner herself, will help you decide on a hot chocolate varying from levels of bitterness to special options like cardamom rose. Once that choice is made, you get to figure out how your dream drink will be topped and while I chose a simple whipped cream, the homemade marshmallow options enticed me so much I'll have to return and give them a chance. I don't regret my selection for a moment, though. The hot chocolate was smooth, slightly thick, creamy, frothy, and left little to no residue on the bottom of the cup. The temptation to slurp is down quickly presented itself, but with some self-control I was able to spread my enjoyment of the drink over the length of an hour and even when room temperature, I found myself relishing each drop. Do yourself a favor and visit this slightly hidden gem. You will find no regret here, simply the most pleasant drinks and atmosphere.

Marina B.

First of all, the guy was so kind and friendly! He was so knowledgeable and gave us a great recommendation what to take. The place has some incredible, pleasant amosphere! We were enjoying in our chocolate and spent great afternoon there. We will come back soon :-)

Marisa Farr

A cute selection of Valentine’s Day gifts and other assortments that can meet any budget. The store carries freshly made candies with unique flavors like s’mores with a hint of whiskey, but the best part is that you can see the chocolate being made (fun to take the kids to see). The staff was extremely knowledgeable, welcoming and polite. I’m not a fan of chocolate but the hazelnut hot chocolate with your choice of marshmallow on top is out of this world!!!

Abdul Aziz Al-Amin

Lovely place. Good selection of gourmet chocolate. Perfect for gifts and souvenirs. The lady, probably Katherine herself was very pleasant. Offered me samples of her delicious chocolate.

Burhan Syed

The hot chocolate fights are definitely worth it. The stuff was relatively friendly, and I have absolutely no complaints about my visit

Shannon T.

This place is a hidden gem! The staff is great, the manager is awesome & I wish I knew her name right now to give her props. The chocolates were amazing. Everything is super fresh, highly recommended!!!

Lori Miarecki

OMG! Sooo delicious! The flight of cocoa was incredible! Hazelnut & Salted Carmel are beyond words creamy, thick & rich. A must stop shop anytime I go to the City from now on.

Abdelaziz Farhat

Decadent hot chocolate, the richest I have had in Chicago. We got the hazelnut hot chocolate and the salted caramel hot chocolate and loved both of them. We also tried the goat cheese truffle, which we didn't even know existed, and will have to be back for more.

Aurelia Whyte

I still think about this day. I stopped in on my way running errands and the Mexican sipping chocolate was exactly what I wanted in terms of sweet and spicy. My boyfriend got the semi sweet and I honestly had a hard time choosing which was better. Will return.

Logan Schauer

Drinking Chocolate?!? I didn't even realized it existed. I don't think I've even been to a real confectionary. This was literally better than anything I've ever expected. Gourmet marshmallows, Arnold Palmer flavored caramel, unique flavored truffles, toffee, and I think they have food food too. Honestly the kind of place I would go to every time I drove by, walked by, or thought of. Shout out to Nathan (hope I spelled that right) for explaining the full menu and everything to us, awesome personality. Check it out for sure!

Adrianna M

Usually stop in here to buy gifts for friends and family but finally came by to try their hot chocolate flights. Need to go back to try all the other flavors! Great cozy spot to do some work or just catch up with a friend!

Zachary Miller-Ember (Zach Ember)

The best hot chocolates and chocolate truffles you are going to find. I would give them 100 stars if I could.

Renee Pierce

Wow! French inspired. I had the best experience. The chocolates and the caramels are divine. The owner is wonderful, and I was so surprised she was there to serve me my chocolate and hot tea. Wonderful experience :)

Irene Dalichau

Excellent service and amazing 🤩 food. The semisweet chocolate drink with homemade marshmallows is to die for. …

RJ

Simple, sweet, and straight to the point: unbiasedly the best small neighborhood hot chocolate. I always get the hazelnut with your choice of two of their concocted marshmallows. Highly recommend the vanilla bean and salted caramel marshmallow. Aside from hot chocolate they also have a variety of confections. Pleasant and warm greetings upon entrance. Quality over quantity.

Belle Lopez

I will be here for Drinking Chocolate tasting AND marshmallows. 😁 Thank you, SPOKEN CAFE for introducing me to Katherine Anne's #Chicago style #drinking #chocolate — great instructions, excellent retail product that already contains milk, texture is in between flat Swiss Miss and real OG Italian/Spanish sipping chocolate. I understand the addition of salt, but, somehow, SALT-n-SUGAR are dominant or top note that tips the addiction balance. 🤔

June

I love this local, women-owned small business! They have absolutely awesome chocolate and caramel creations, in addition to their marshmallows. And it looks like they are going to add sandwiches soon, possibly, based on their menu board when we went there last week! They do online order pickup, too, which is super easy and convincing since parking can sometimes be a bit rough.

K B

The homemade Marshmallows were fantastic and all the different hot chocolates were great.

Meghan Golk

While I personally have not visited, I found their stand at the Daley Plaza Market today. Two very kind women patiently answered my dietary questions and I purchased raspberry champagne and pistachio vegan truffles from them. I cannot tell I am eating vegan versions at all! And they had not one, but two flavors for me to pick from!? Thank you so much for the new chocolate option.

Daniel San Martin

Wonderful drinking chocolate, truffles, and homemade marshmellows! 2 out door tables that sit 2 people each.

Naina Khanna

Oh My God!!! Best hot chocolate ever! They offer flights of different flavors with different marshmallows too.

bhaskar sastry

The salted caramel hot chocolate with marshmallows is awesome and decadent! Best hot chocolate I ever had!!

Derouen Brandon

Was an amazing selection of candy and chocolate! The staff were a delight, very helpful too

Michael Triolo-Sapp

Amazing hot chocolate! Really love all the flavors they offer. Marshmallows are very special and artisanal. The food is good too.

Samantha Levy

Had what I think was one of the best hot chocolates I've had in Chicago! It was so decadent, it was truly like drinking liquid chocolate 😍 …

Hind KH

Cozy place and friendly staff, but the hot chocolate was too sweet for me.

sayak chakrabarty

Awesome experience drinking hot chocolate and also ice cold chocolate. If you are hot chocolate the never forget to visit this this chocolate shop in Chicago. In fact this is one of the most famous chocolate shop and hot chocolate shop in America and I have never tested hot chocolate this good. So if you are living in Chicago visiting the store is almost a must.

p d

The service here is top notch. I ordered chocolates for my son who lives in Chicago as I dont and had a question so called. The guy was so helpful and so nice. Then emailed to check on order and quickly got a response that was so nice and helpful. They arrived in 3 days and my son says they are AMAZING and will go back. I will order from them again. Thank you for a great experience and even greater chocolates

LAN

My absolute favorite place for hot chocolate especially during the harsh winter. I love the semi sweet and salted caramel, they’re my top 2 when choosing the flight

Eron Morgan

Delightful! This place will give you a 10 minute break from the stress of your day. Not terribly expensive, but not exactly cheap. You get what you pay for though, for sure.

m

Hazelnut and caramel drinking chocolates are like drinking melted chocolate, extremely rich, but so so so tasty. Don’t overestimate your ability to drink more than a serving, you’ll make yourself sick. The truffles are also delicious, particularly the peanut butter curry (tried years ago) and the hazelnut and salted caramel flavors. I like the classic flavors more than the fruity flavors, personally.

Erin Jaworski

There is nothing better to soothe the cold Chicago winter blues than a drinking chocolate with a house-made marshmallow from Katherine Anne's. Even the plant-based milk versions for us lactose unfriendly folks are rich and delicious (I go with almond)! **Chef's kiss**

Irma Oesmani

It was okay, too sweet for my taste. No dine in, takeaway only.

Aya Awwad

rich , thick and super delicious hot chocolate reminds me with European taste 😋😋 …

Rebecca Rodriguez

Love love love this place!! So worth it! Their hot chocolate is soooo rich. Sadly, we can't sit in their very small cafe during the covid pandemic - I miss the ceramic cups, the flowers on the table, and just sitting and enjoying their yummy concoctions. They've got recommendations for little ones as well as for more sophisticated tastes. They have 2 sizes and the small is enough for most people. I always share the regular size, Mexican hot chocolate - it's a bit spicy. If you want to try a few flavors, they have a "flight" of 3 tiny hot chocolates. We've also tried their marshmallows: cinnamon, salted caramel, and rose (on different occasions) and I thought they were all delicious!

Katey Smagur

This place is unbelievably good. Their truffles are some of the best I've had. Their drinking chocolate is so rich and tasty. At my last visit, I was able to test matcha covered coffee beans which were also delicious! The staff is very friendly and helpful. Highly recommend for a decadent treat.

Hajar Errafay

The hot chocolate is amazing!! The service was excellent. My favorite was the salted caramel & semi-sweet hot chocolate!!

Ann

I can never figure out why this place doesn't have a line snaking around the block. This is the richest hot chocolate in the city, possibly the country. It's basically pure chocolate melted in hot cream and topped with a torched house-made marshmallow. Let the marshmallow melt then suck down the gooey 'mallow heart in the last delicious dregs of your decadent beverage. Cold drinks have a delicious lightly salted ball of frozen whipped cream instead of a marshmallow. My favorite specials include the elusive white chocolate chai and the milk chocolate fennel orange. They often have liquor themed drinks and you can have the drink made with coffee instead of cream if you want a nice bitter contrast to cut the sweetness (and if you like being extra awake). The Mexican or the hazelnut chocolate on the regular menu are always outstanding backup drink choices if the specials don't appeal. The truffles are very good, the caramels are great, and the variety of marshmallows is a lot of fun. I also love the shabby vintage charm of the place, like the chandelier and the antique silver-plate spoons. They also have food, but I have never had the food here because we always reserve this place for dessert. After COVID is over, I'm going to go get a hot chocolate flight and celebrate. Oh, and they have vegan choices! I'm no vegan but vegan friends love it when I drag (ha) them here.

Harish Krishnamurthy

Best hot chocolate I've had. And so many options to choose from. We tried the Mexican hot chocolate with the peppermint marshmallow, which had a nice sweet and spicy balance. And also a hazelnut hot chocolate with a marshmallow. A little pricey but totally worth the cost in terms of taste and quantity.

Taylor Brunson

I so love this place! Since I moved to the area, Katherine Anne truffles have been my go-to treat. Of course, everything is delicious and I love the ever changing seasonal drinks, but the truffles are my favorite. The staff are always so lovely, kind and hard working. With COVID taking over daily life, I feel very safe with the minimal contact and safety precautions this establishment has set up. *I just tried the seasonal peanutbutter curry truffle and it blew my socks off! Wow! If you like a bit of spice in your chocolate, please give this a try before the flavor is gone!*

Pavel Snopok

Awesome, awesome, awesome! We were looking for a unique gift that conveys the spirit of Chicago, and this it, no question! We bought ourselves a smaller gift box and thoroughly enjoyed every bit of it! Heck, we hid the stuff from the kids, because kids would eat anything sweet and would not be able to fully appreciate the taste, the aroma... I can go on a on. Best of all, it's not overly sweet! I don't know what's wrong with all the sweets in the U.S., somehow the idea behind every dessert is "the more sweet it is - the better". Well, guess what, this is definitely not the case here, and kudos to you for doing the right thing!!! We're sold!

Natalie Simtion

If you're looking for a authentic cup of hot chocolate, I'd highly recommend visiting this place. The hot chocolate is like no other - creamy, chocolaty, hot and irresistible; not to mention, you get to choose what type of marshmallow you'd like in your hot chocolate. The shop is so cozy and well decorated, one could spend hours there. The truffles are amazing and have a very unique twist of taste. My favorite is the lemon poppyseed. I can't wait to go back.

Foeor

Friendly staff and delicious homemade marshmallows, ganache,truffles and most importantly there hot chocolate. If your into something maybe not to rich I’d level down to the bittersweet maybe but if you like rich I’d go w the salted Carmel hot chocolate but iced also the Mexican hot chocolate is super unique has a hint of spice super rich one cup will have you full. Highly recommend this place if you like chocolate!

Tara D

Amazing truffles and caramels. I am a cheap chocolate lover so I never thought I would enjoy the truffles, but after purchasing a box for my wife and then sampling some, the box became mine! So many interesting flavors to choose from and all very delicious. This is my go to spot for gifts now. They also have amazing marshmallows. And the people are very friendly and attentive. Definitely worth the price.

Emi

Fantastic hot chocolate. And there goat cheese chocolate was really tasty. The people working there where very accommodating and helpful. And the store it's self is a small but nice place. They make homemade marshmallows that are really tasty. I really recommend going there.

Jan Chitphakdithai

Best Hot Chocolate. Hands down, no questions, and yes I have tried hot chocolate at several other Chicago cafes and restaurants (because I don't drink coffee). You gotta try Katherine Anne's if you haven't already.

K. Keating

Easy to get to. Got street parking nearby, both times I've gone. Helpful and patient staff. Great amazing wonderful Hot Chocolate, Marshmallows and Chocolates at very decent prices. Inside has a few cozy tables and a nice cushy seating area. Much recommended!!!

Tiago Paraiso

Best chocolate drink and marshmallow I had in Chicago! Their chocolate drinks has a lot of different flavours. My personal favourite is the Mexican chocolate because it delivers the right amount of spiciness to it. The people who work behind the counter are always super nice and always ready to help you with making decisions.

Sam Menke

Very friendly staff, cool and original chocolates and drinks. Nice atmosphere but a bit tight and crowded.

MaryAnn Brent

Best hot chocolate and home-made marshmellows EVER!! The hot chocolate selection is awesome. I love them all. Every flavor is delicious with almond, soy and coconut milk. The marshmellows out of this world, especially the salted caramel! I didn't eat store bought marshmellows before I found Katherine Anne's! Now, I'm obsessed with homemade marshmellows!

Cherry Tree Inn B&B

Just amazing!!! I try to make it here every time we go to Chicago. The sipping cocoa is thick, rich & a totally surreal experience. Close your eyes & savor every moment!!!

David Fiorello

I'm pretty sure, after trying most of the hot chocolate of note in the city, that Katherine Anne makes the best drinking chocolate. Admittedly, I haven't tried too many of the flavor options available, as there are many, but for better or worse I'm more of a 'once you love something, stick with it' kind of guy. I've had the milk chocolate and the hazelnut, and I've gotta say I think I'll get the hazelnut for the rest of my life in Chicago. Now, I love me some Mindy’s Hot Chocolate, and I love me some Bombo Bar, but this is the best. They make the temperature perfect enough to drink right away, in their cute little set up, or on the go. Staff is very friendly, sometimes overly-so, but they know what they have their hands on here... Premium ingredients, and doing things the right way is always rewarded in the chocolate world, so I'm bringing the good news to friends who enjoy a great cup of chocolate.

Steve Sobel

Katherine Anne is a gem in the Logan Square neighborhood. They have a wide variety of interesting flavors of chocolate truffle, home made marshmallows with interesting flavors added in, and their drinking chocolate is amazing. A word to the wise, get a small drinking chocolate and share it with a friend. It's so absurdly sweet and rich you probably won't finish it by yourself! It's delicious, but it's for sipping, not gulping! They also have an interesting selection of sandwiches etc for lunch, which are unfortunately not my cup of tea based on reading the menu, but that's because I am sort of a weird simpleton when it comes to sandwiches. They look like they'd be appealing to most!

J

The place to be for hot chocolate. I love coming her on a crisp chilly day and walking around with their amazing hot chocolate in hand. Their location is pretty cozy to enjoy your drink at, however a little to quiet to stay at with a 5yr old. I did love the intimate warm atmosphere, but it was more ideal for a date/couple. I was not expecting their sandwiches to be good, but they def surpassed my expectations. Good choc, marsh mellows, and food? yes pls!

Jane Espinoza

This is my favorite place to get hot chocolate. I always get the salted caramel but I have Not been a fan this past week I have been here twice this week and on Wednesday My salted caramel chocolate was not thick and I never specified hot cocoa style. Now today I got another one and I’m straining out my cocoa nibs that I have been coming across while drinking it!

Diana Grossman Tantra Butterfly

Very delicious and decadent tasting drinking chocolates are created here which can be made hot, served up three in a flight or prepared iced. I found this chocolate shop purely by accident online yesterday and I purposefully chose to make time out today to sample a couple of their handmade chocolate truffles. I chose the iced Mexican chocolate drinking chocolate and one peanut butter ganache square and one creme de menthe and honestly my tiny selections were so rich, fulfilling and flavorful that this was more than enough for me. Super friendly staff and they seem to be well loved here in the Logan Square community. If you are a chocoholic like me definitely come here to get your chocolate fix. You can even leave here with a box of chocolate goodies to treat yourself or your friends. Decor here consists of ornate, cozy antique couches and armchairs. This tiny chocolate shop is playful, tasteful and has a really good vibe.

Molly Caballero

We love Katherine Anne. Not only is chocolate amazing, the drinking chocolate and the sandwiches are lovely. Great place to spend a morning. The service is exceptional. Nathan was working when we stopped in and he greatly added to our experience with his kindness and positivity! :))

Megan Mayhue

Fantastic place! Love the atmosphere and the drinks and confections were amazing. The man who worked there named Nathan was so nice and helpful with explaining everything and helping me decide what to get. I'm just visiting Chicago and whenever I come back I will for sure be stopping and/or I will definitely place some online orders.

M Tamsin

Pure chocolate heaven! Katherine Anne (I’m assuming the shop is named for the proprietor; my apologies if I’m wrong on that) is true artisan. Her chocolates are delicious and she creates unique and interesting flavor profiles. Her passion for her art and love of her profession and business are apparent as she’ll happily chat up any patron and share stories about her business and her creations.

Zorin Dobson

Are you ready for a sugar rush? If so then Katherine Anne Confections is the place to visit. Their drinking chocolate is a welcomed surprise and rivals that of Mindy’s Hot Chocolate which is the best I’ve ever had. Fear not if you can’t finish the whole thing because taking it home and reheating it for a couple of minutes is a great option (especially if you have some ice cream to accompany it). The truffles are another treasure. Each one that I tried was absolutely delightful. From standards like the salted caramel to interesting delights like the Curry truffle that I tasted. It’s almost as if Willy Wonka grew up settled down and got really sophisticated. If you’re looking to give chocolates, this is the place to go

Gregg Cooke

Cozy cafe in the workshop of the city's best chocolatier. 17 varieties of hot chocolate! But that's not really why you come here. You come here to buy Katherine Anne's chocolates and marshmallows. Katherine is an absolute goddess of chocolate. In her hands chocolate transforms from a sweet treat to a culinary sacrament, an homage to the spirit of tree and bean, a celebration of flavor. Her chocolate is my favorite, hands down, of any of the craft chocolatiers I've tasted. So...while you can certainly buy her chocolate at other stores in the city,. treat yourself and make the pilgrimage to Logan Square to taste them at the source.

david stewart

I've picked up Valentine's Day boxes every year here; where else would one go after finding chocolate Nirvana? Their lemon poppy seed, goat cheese and walnut truffles are simply fantastic. The caramels are just as good; the balance between texture and taste is unrivaled in Chicago.Treat yourselves folks; take an epicurean Willy Wonkaesque trip down to Armitage and let your taste buds open your minds!

Rebecca Husk

Very friendly staff and the most delicious drinking chocolate/marshmellows - after one visit it quickly became a near weekly tradition. Make sure to check out the caramel or hazelnut drinking chocolate!

Madeline Nyquist

Some of the best truffles I’ve ever had. Bought a box as a present for my mom and she went bananas, especially for the lemon poppyseed variety. FANTASTIC staff (love Eve) some true artists working here.

Sonja Martinez

This place is dangerously close to my house. ALL of their chocolates are amazing. My husband, who is not a chocolate fan loves the bacon-caramels. The hot chocolate is to die for, unfortunately they don't sell it in various sizes. The one size they have is just a bit too much, since it is so rich.

Lisa Sromek

I have seen Katherine Anne at varied events, hard at work promoting her products and growing her business from the start. Thursdays (Daley Plaza farmer's market day) have for years triggered a Pavlovian response in me for her all-natural honey caramels, especially the rosemary sea salt variety--and so I'm thrilled she has opened this physical location. Her home-made marshmallows and drinking chocolate are a great option for the cooler months, and she keeps it interesting by rotating seasonal truffle flavors (which are hit-or-miss in my opinion...but good luck trying to wait to savor a hit!)

Sarai Gonzalez

Amazing! I'm from Orlando and I was just visiting Chicago this weekend, my friend KeriAnn and Fernanda really recommended this place, they said I couldnt miss it. We got there like 3 mins before the guy was closing the shop because it was Sunday and they close early on Sundays, he almost didn't sell us the hot chocolate because he was about to leave but then he was kind enough to take everything out and make that chocolate! Totally worth it! I took everything I could to bring back to Orlando and to Italy, love everything, caramels, truffles and specially the marshmallows, wow!! Will recommend to everyone!

Teresa Sigerson-azo

OMG the chocolate is so smooth and delicious. I just discovered this place but wow you will not be disappointed. Good stuff!!!

Jon Foster

Tasty hot chocolate! The truffles are a little expensive for everyday consumption, but a fun treat and a great gift

M.

This spot quickly became one of my favorite Chicago destinations. Then it became one of my favorite holiday gifting go-tos (they ship!). Inventive and delicious across the board. Their drinking chocolate can't be beat.

Minh Chau

The chocolate flight is a great deal - go for it! Two of the ones I tried were great, one was not. The latter was the Mexican, which tasted overly diluted, with more milk than chocolate. Unlike the other two, which were thick in chocolate, the Mexican was high in spice but way too low in chocolate. If that were fixed, this would had been a five star experience.

Lisa Brown

This has to be the best hot chocolate in the world. When I want to impress someone I bring them here to try heaven in a cup. You know it's gold when friends ask to go back again when they visit!!

Torri Nicholea

This is one of my favorite places in the city. Everything here is delicious and well made. This is also a great place to pick up gifts. Also they have vegan friendly products!

Kitty G

These chocolates are delicious, with great variety of combinations, and I love to support a local woman-owned business.

Katherine L

This place is chocolate ecstacy. If you want to persuade a friend to move to Chicago (or remind yourself of why you live here in the depth of winter... Or a particularly humid summer), this is your destination. It's like drinking bittersweet velvet. The options range from simple to complex. Everything is best of the best.

Kristin Rabideau

A lovely place that opened up in Logan Square. Their hot chocolate is something special, and you can pick your flavors of marshmallow to add. They also have lunch now, which is quite delicious.

K Daniel

Katherine and her husband are so nice and create such lovely treats. Try a drinking chocolate and submit to a luxurious chocolate coma for the rest of the day or opt for a creative, decadent truffle or caramel if you need a quick Choco indulgence! Excited for the soon to come patio ☀️ 🍫 …

Aaron Lindgren

Love their hot chocolate. it was cold evening and the person behind the register was super nice and friendly when we walked in. We felt warm,welcome and comfortable. Thanks God it is not close to where I live. Looking forward to go there again

Pricey but well worth it! A small is more than enough of their super rich hot cocoa, spend the rest of your money on their awesome caramels and truffles!

Laura Straw

This place is the best hidden gem with the best hot chocolate on Earth. It truly is hot chocolate. Thick and delicious... Try the salted caramel and you'll be hooked.

Logan Bresnahan

Delicious hot chocolate flight and a large variety of truffles. The kitchen is directly behind the counter, it's cool watching them work.

Hossein Safavi

If an extremely rich chocolate beverage is what you are after, you have come to the right place. The homemade marshmallows and the Mexican hot chocolate are the perfect defense against the freezing Chicago winter.

Outstanding locally made chocolates and connections.

Best hot chocolate ever. Can not compare it to anything else. You have to try it. Perfection.

Prueba cualquiera de sus opciones pero te recomiendo el Sea Salt y el Mexican. Unas delicias!!!
