Sleep Walk Chocolateria & Cafe — Restaurant in West Chicago Township

Sleep Walk Chocolateria & Cafe is what I would call a true hidden gem especially if you're a devoted chocolate lover. Tucked away like a secret waiting to be discovered, this café welcomes you with the intoxicating aroma of chocolate the second you open the door. The ambiance is cozy, modern, and infused with artisanal charm. Right up front, they proudly display their award-winning chocolate bars, which are all handcrafted on-site. You can literally see the chocolate being made, tempered, molded, and packaged with care which adds an authentic and immersive touch to the whole experience.

I ordered the hot chocolate and an almond croissant, and let me tell you, this combo was pure perfection. The hot chocolate isn’t your typical sugary drink, it’s bold, deep, and unapologetically rich. From the first sip, you’re greeted with a touch of sweetness, but as it coats your palate and moves to the back of your tongue, you’re hit with a powerful wave of true dark chocolate bitterness. It’s intense in the best way, and definitely not for the faint of heart. Only true chocolate aficionados will fully appreciate this layered and complex flavor.

The almond croissant was equally impressive, lightly crisped on the outside, soft and buttery inside, filled with a subtly sweet almond paste, and dusted with powdered sugar. Together, they created a breakfast experience that was comforting yet elevated.

Takeaway? If you love chocolate in its purest, most passionate form, this place is a must. Don’t skip the hot chocolate. It might just ruin all other hot...

I cherish places like this every time I come across them! I am from Minneapolis and sadly we do not have anything like this back home. Normally I hate regular mochas but I am Mexican so I loveeee a good quality Mexican chocolate and I am also a barista so I love good quality coffee. Luckily this was the perfect combination of both and I had an absolutely decadent experience! All I had was the Mayan mocha but I will be daydreaming of it until I can have another!!! The barista steamed it beautifully (beautiful art as a little perk) and the texture was divine. The espresso itself was beautiful and the chocolate rich, warm and spiced. Neither overpowered the other. Not too sweet but very flavorful. Only wish the space had more space for seating. Barista also had a fun playlist going so that was also a perk. Excited to one day try their other variations and hope to see this business grow! I really hope to see a product this good in my city one day because I would become a regular of this...

I’m not the type to go out of my way to write negative reviews but since I got food poisoning from this place then I will. I was a first time customer this past Sunday when my friend offered to buy me a small hot chocolate. I drank the whole cup of hot chocolate that tasted bitter. I didn’t say anything to my friend until afterwards because I didn’t wanna come off as ungrateful. But later I asked her hey does your stomach hurt? And it did. That was my last snack of the evening so I know it was only the hot chocolate making my stomach hard and bloated. I eventually threw up and had to take off 2 days off work. My only real input is to make sure that the food items you sell are in good condition because the chocolate did taste bitter I thought it was supposed to taste like dark chocolate or coffee (which I don’t...
