Chocolat sources the finest Belgian chocolate, crafted from bean to bar in Belgium using sustainably grown, fair trade cocoa beans from West Africa. From their truffles to their chocolate bars, every bite reflects a commitment to quality and ethical sourcing.
All chocolates are handmade using 70 percent Belgian dark chocolate, and there are boozy and regular chocolates available in a variety of flavors. They can be purchased individually, or you can build a custom gift box.
In addition to truffles, they also make incredibly popular Dubai chocolate bars. They are a hit for good reason, crafted with care from start to finish. Every element is made in-house, by hand, using only the finest ingredients. From roasting the nuts to creating their own pistachio filling and chocolate, each step is deliberate and designed to deliver bold, unforgettable flavor.
Coffee lovers will also find an impressive menu of espresso drinks, specialty lattes and seasonal creations, all made with house-made syrups and locally roasted beans. The shop proudly uses coffee beans roasted by Alchemy Coffee Werks in Augusta, Kansas, and sells the beans in store as well.
Chocolat also serves seasonal lunches, with a regularly-changing menu. Some weekends feature a themed “Cuisine Adventure.” Recent themes have included The Wild West, Root 66, Flavor Explosions, and Hawaii.
Beyond the coffee and chocolates, visitors can browse shelves featuring handcrafted items from local artisans, making Chocolat a great place to pick up a unique gift while supporting several small businesses at once.
