Chocolatté — Restaurant in Buena Vista

If you find yourself wandering the quaint charm of Main Street in Buena Vista, CO, you owe it to yourself to swing by Chocolatté.

This is not your everyday dessert joint. It’s all clean lines and tasteful decor in here. White, wood accents, brown, and touches of pink, sprinkled with a generous dose of lush, green plants – all artfully arranged under good lighting. Picture a mellow soundtrack of what can only be described as smooth, rich jazz akin to the velvety texture of their chocolates, gently coaxing the conversation in the room. It's the kind of place where you can kick back on a swing bench, suspended like some childhood memory from the ceiling, and simply savor the moment.

Now, let’s talk staff. Attentive is an understatement. These folks are as sweet as the confections they serve, and the service is nothing short of stellar. They’re there when you need them and invisible when you don’t.

Let’s not forget the kiddos. Tucked against the window is a space with a winding slide, twirling down to a ball pit of white balls - no shoes allowed, naturally. A delight for the little ones, while you indulge in the grown-up pleasure of finely crafted chocolates and coffees.

The menu? A well-curated selection of chocolates, ice creams, and coffees. All masterfully crafted, tempting to the eye and even more so to the palate. We opted for a couple cappuccinos, a chocolate tart, and a cheesecake to share. I’m no food critic, but this combination was worth every calorie. As if the cappuccino wasn’t treat enough, it was served with a wrapped, branded chocolate morsel - the cherry on top, if you will.

Chocolatté may be new to the block, but they're open till 9pm, making it a perfect spot for an after-dinner treat. Whether you're a local or just passing through, do yourself a favor and drop by. It's an indulgence that’s as much about the experience as it is...

Some of the best ice cream I’ve ever had. Truly. Ewa owns and runs the shop and she’s great. Amazing customer service and delicious treats. We’ve been here two nights in a row and coming back tomorrow!! Pro Tip: Try the Yellow Cake ice cream!!

Update: July 2024 Stopped in Chocolatte tonight after not seeing the owner, Ewa, for about a year. Walked up to the counter and before I could say anything she remembered me and my favorite flavor. WHAT THE HECK??? That is incredible!! I was blown away. This is the best place in BV for ice cream and some of the best customer service I've gotten anywhere. And I got an ice cream cookie sandwich and it was out of this world!...

It's a cute little place but the pink chairs and booths look filthy and stained. It's a new place so I don't get why they are so dirty already. Went there recently and was treated poorly by the younger girl working there. She had an attitude right off the bat, was rude about us needing to sign the waiver for kids to play there. Gave my sister coffee in a to go cup and her order wasn't a to go order. I ended up not even wanting to spend my time or money there so we didn't stay long. Very disappointing! Was all excited to go there when I heard of them opening up but the rude girl working...
