The drinks were okay but I wish I could have enjoyed them without my chai being tainted by a racist interaction with the barista working that morning. My mother and I walked in right after a blonde Caucasian woman with her small child. The blonde woman let my mother and I know that she was still looking and that we should go ahead of her. When we get to the register to put in our order, the young man at the counter interrupts my mother to sternly say to her that the blonde woman was here first. He rudely, turns to the blonde woman to ask her if sheās ready to order, not even listening to my mother begin to explain to him how we didnāt cut the line, to which the blonde woman replies that sheās not ready yet. It was at this point that the barista became obviously aware that we were aware of his prejudice behavior towards us and tried to explain to us how he apologizes but itās ājust policyā. Is it policy to treat your Hispanic clientele differently than your white clientele? I honestly should have left right then and there.

I was trying this place after having chocolate man up in lake forest park.
Maybe that place has set to high of expectations.

The same goes with every flavor. It's just the same truffle with tiny sprinkle of the "flavor" more like "lack of flavor" and its just disappointing.
Again, maybe my standards are just set way to high from the other chocolate store but in comparison I have to rate It...
Ā Ā Ā Read moreUsually have a good experience at chocolati but on Sunday we waited at the outdoor window for about half an hour (with no one in the line in front of us) before the barista finally acknowledged us. She was making drinks for the people inside but didnāt even say hi or āIāll be with you in a minuteā to let us know that we would have to wait that long. Also, when we went to sit inside to enjoy a view of the lake one of the main windows is now covered up with a sign for mobile app deliveries so you canāt even see the view! Also, the cafe smelled like the bathroom⦠bathroom door was open and clearly needs some freshener since itās right near the ordering counter!! The coffee was good and so is the chocolate as always but the customer service was lacking and so was...
