🚨Calling all cheesecake fans: runnnn do not walk, to Chocolatte at The Old Bag Factory (OBF) in Goshen, IN. I finally had a chance to do some shopping at The Depot and OBF and took time to drift into this little gem tucked in near the main entrance. HOLY COW y'all!! I will be back.
There are precious few sweet treats that rank higher in my mind and caloric preferences than cheesecake. As in for high school graduation, I had no sheet cake with fancy decorations, but instead, served plenty of cheesecake. This farm kid has standards: no artificial flavors or ingredients, no fake whipped cream, I need allll the butter, and also can't handle crummy plain vanilla cheesecake with over sweetened "fruit" topping. If a restaurant is serving commercially produced food service cheesecake, I pass. Snobby? Yeah probably, but as I drifted along aimlesslessy following the coffee aroma into this divine little coffee shop with its artfully displayed colorful chocolates and treats in fine decadence in the front display cabinet, my eyes locked on a different display case and I snapped out of my trance. Remember the fancy display cases at your older relatives' homes that had the expensive heirloom dishes, figurines and crystal glassware in them? Well, be still my heart, at Chocolatte, those shelves of honor are where the CHEESECAKE IS!!!! OHHHH YESSSSS! This baby was loaded with three varieties of DIVINE cheesecake elegance. The super friendly staff member was entertaining all of my questions about their establishment when the Chef came out promenading a Dubai-esque Pistachio cheesecake of glory fresh for the cabinet. PURE CHEESECAKE BLISS friends, this was magical.
I opted for a slice of the mocha cheesecake and MmMmmmmmMmm. Melt in your mouth cheesecake and chocolate-coffee perfection. I savored a small corner, saving the rest for later. I finished it as a Saturday work survival lunch with a plastic knife....because that was all I had in my vehicle, but I neeeeeded that. In. My. Belly! I am going to be rerouting my future travels via Chocolatte, and look forward to tasting the other flavors. Mind ya bizness if I gain weight from eating cheesecake lol, but seriously, go spend money on cheesecake, and chocolates, and coffee. It is so so so worth it if you love...
Read moreA friend brought me the beautiful chocolatte choco lovely box of artisan chocolates as a hostess gift and I was so impressed I had to check this place out for myself. Came for coffee and chocolates and the atmosphere and experience was par none the best and what I have been looking for in a coffee shop. Quality, atmosphere and supporting a local business is what I am mostly interested in. In house made and pure ingredients for a pure product. The building is like stepping back in time as character and historical all in one. They have other items if you are not interested in coffee and chocolates. What a find and their is a a cool pottery place back behind the Furniture Store that has loveley items if you are into this one of a kind treat. Will be back and also a note there is additional seating that is quite comfortable outside the shop and the filtered natural lighting adds to the ambience. We were there on a sunny day. Nice talking with you Jana and we...
Read moreWe grew up in Goshen and recently came back to visit family. Paid a visit to this artisan chocolate/coffee/bakery/heaven on earth “shop” on recommendation of my niece, and she could not have been more right on how amazing it is. We picked out a few of the beautifully crafted chocolates for us and a few as a gift for friends. They are almost too beautiful to eat! We also indulged in a slice of cheesecake and WOW, one of the best we’ve had. This will be one of our new staples to visit when we return home. Highly recommend visiting if you love to treat yourself to the good...
