Edis Chocolates & Bakery — Restaurant in Austin

I have had the privilege of shopping at Edis Chocolates since its arrival here in Austin and what a delight it has been for my family and friends to receive the most delicious and beautifully made "sweets" of all kinds! I had my precious mother's birthday cakes made here and each one was delicious and beautifully decorated. The seasonal cookies and cupcakes are extraordinarily made and decorated with each holidays special celebration! I think my favorite decorated cookie is the magnificently decorated TURKEY for Thanksgiving! Edis' cookies are truly a work of art and that goes for all of her chocolates, too. If you don't experience the sweets from this shop, you are missing out on one of life's biggest joys and that includes Edis herself. She is an absolute delight to know and she has run this shop with a few helpers for many, many years. I thank God for Edis Chocolates and for all of the sweets made available to us all from endless hours of cooking and decorating each sweet and packaging them in such a professional manner. You will be proud to present any of Edis' sweets to your family, friends and professionals groups, too! When you walk through the door of Edis Chocolates, brace yourself, for you will never forget...

Some of their prices are decent and the quality overall of their desserts is pretty good. They have good packaging, too What I tried and my picky self’s review: Italian cream cupcake: great flavor, beautiful piping but dry (maybe sat out too long?) Maple pecan bar: big portion, average flavor and texture—too sweet and needed some oomph, maybe spices and a hint of sea salt and more of a crunch for the pecans Lime bar: definitely THE WINNER! Great taste on the curd, amazing taste and texture on the shortbread. And large portion, so great deal for the $. I could eat it every day and not get sick of it! I’d also be 400 lb though lol Chocolate hearts: extremely overpriced, average taste for the white chocolate one. Do not recommend Lemon lavender shortbread cookies: they taste like shortbread made by a novice. Not that they’re bad, just barely make the “good” mark. My taste buds are quite good but could barely feel any lemon or lavender. Still a good snack and come in a cute little bow-tied baggie Cheese puff: fair price point and good to have a savory treat. It’s a fancy name for a simple pandebono (milk and queso...

The chocolates here are just ok. Service was good, but was missing a tasting guide. And I have to be critical just because this shop is way on the pricey side compared to what I have gotten from artisanal chocolatiers in Houston and Dallas, even post-COVID inflation. And the designs are a little...rustic and flavors very simple compared to Araya/Cacao & Cardamom/Kate Weiser/etc from the bigger Texas cities while the prices here are 150-200%.... You’d expect the usual experimental ganache like passion fruit or lavender but most of the truffles here taste very similar to each other. And price wise, I get that it's Valentine's Day, but a 12-piece heart box came out over $60 here when you'd expect it to be $40-50 for much more truffle design and exotic flavors. (I would have gotten the regular box for $20 less if there were prices listed anywhere in-store.) Is Austin really that much more expensive, or is it just a question of a lack of local competition? Maybe next time I'll try Delysia...
