The Chocolate Therapist — Restaurant in Littleton

Initially was a great experience, great chocolate and we were super excited for the self-serve wine bar. However, the self-serve wine dispenser was malfunctioning and serving inconsistent pours the whole time we were there. You have 3 options, 1 oz, 2 oz and 4 oz for each wine. Our first pour (4 oz) was equal to our second pour (2 oz), when we showed the worker she messed around with the dispenser for a while and changed out a bottle but then came out and told us that the first bottle we got had been “over pouring”, so our first pour was more like 5 or 6 oz I guess…? the worst part, however, was when I went back for my third pour and selected 2 oz (which I had gotten for my second pour so you would think I had an idea of the amount that should come out) and it only dispensed a TINY amount into my glass (I estimate that it was about an ounce or even less, definitely less than a typical shot which is 1.5 oz.) There were even ladies at a table nearby that commented & said “oh that’s definitely not 2 oz”. The light had come on to show the bottle needed to be changed, so I told the worker and she came to change the bottle. I then showed her the tiny amount in my bottle and said “this is what came out, it was supposed to be 2 ounces” expecting her to fill it until it reached 2 oz. She glanced at my glass and said “yeah watch I’ll pour 2 ounces from the machine and that’s what will come out” and showed me it spurting out a tiny amount into her cup. AGAIN this machine had already been malfunctioning and she was aware of this, so obviously the machine wasn’t doing accurate pours. I had also JUST gotten a 2 oz glass about 10 minutes prior. She eventually poured an additional “2 ounces” into my glass (so should have equaled 4 oz right?) which ended up being the amount in the picture attached. In this situation the amount coming from the machine was clearly wrong and the worker (possibly owner?) refused to acknowledge this. Anyone who has had wine before would have been able to tell that the tiny amount it poured was nowhere near 2 ounces. This was also not a cheap experience! If you come here, maybe bring your own way to measure the wine that comes out of the dispenser because if the wrong amount comes out, you definitely won’t get your moneys worth. 🙃 Overall very...

Throughout the evening, I discovered the intricate nuances of chocolate making and learned the art of pairing different flavors of chocolate with various wines. I left the class feeling not only satiated but also enlightened, with a newfound appreciation for the craftsmanship and artistry behind chocolate production. Go here for the chocolate and stay for...

Edit to reply to owner's response: I didn't ask for a new cortado to be made because I had already left your establishment before I started drinking it. In your response I didn't hear any apology for the drink actually burning me. When I order drinks from coffee shops, I don't expect them to be made scolding hot unless I ask for "extra hot". As I am typing this my tongue and mouth have a loss of sensation from the experience in your establishment. I am sure this wasn't an intentional error on their part but frankly it doesn't matter because the end result was a harmful experience to me. Your business could not undue what had already been done.

Initial review: I ordered a cortado here and it was made very hot because it instantly burned my tongue and lips when I sipped it. Ideal temperature for this drink is 130-140 degrees. I have an espresso machine at home and watch my temperature carefully to avoid going above 150 degrees for any drink I make. I suspect this drink was closer to 160. A cortado is meant to be drank quickly but that wasn’t possible. Annoying to pay for something that burned me. The drink also tasted burnt which indicates the milk was over done. Probably won’t be back for an espresso drink. I did taste some chocolate here...
