Chocolate Holler — Restaurant in Lexington

A sister to A Cup of Commonwealth, Chocolate Holler has rapidly become one of, if not my favorite, places to get a cup of coffee. Their specialty is chocolate in all forms, so you should definitely drop in if you have a sweet tooth.

Their hot chocolate is some seriously next level stuff. I have a go to order of their Orange Cocoa with espresso and the consistency is astounding. Becca, one of the baristas and managers, is an absolute pleasure to chat with and the same goes for all of the other baristas that grace the counter.

Well, I was the next customer in line, but two groups were being waited on by the man. I put my carefully chosen chocolate minis back and left. I was dismissed by both workers so I decided I don't think this is the coffee...

i am so disappointed in this coffee shop closing for multiple reasons. i have lived here for over a decade and always loved the coffee, vibe, and friendly service. but i also know this place is owned by cup of commonwealth and it is understandable why it is going under, after knowing the CUC managers and staff that tried to keep it running. first, the cup of commonwealth managers are absolutely incompetent and have zero compassion for anyone or anything if it doesn’t have a dollar sign on it. the amount of people i have seen rightfully bash emma or whatever her name is for her incompetence is completely in the right. second, i was in chocolate holler weeks before it was to close, and i actually watched managers leave two employees in the dust as a line formed out the door. shame on you, cup of...
