You know I love this place because it is open until 6 pm on Sunday, you can watch star chefs with their creations, they serve coffee and wine, quiches and soup, everything is fresh and delicious in a genuine way that you wont easily find elsewhere. Try the peanut butter badger bait, chocolaty goodness perfected with a peanut mallow center. The giant molasses cookie is also a fave as it brings me home. Finally give the seasonal cakes and tarts a try, toothsome to the last. Hear free music on the weekends like folk and cool Gypsy Jazz!

Although their gluten free offerings were beautiful and I loved the macarons, I felt totally unwelcome. As I browsed the shop and their bakery case, two employees ignored me. My Husband and I were the only customers, besides a woman at a table. Finally I went to the cash register where an employee had been standing and he asked what I would like. I was to order first and pay, before choosing from the case. Zero customer service. Beautiful shop, but not worth a return visit.

Had a really pleasant first expirience here. The girl working at the front couner with the very short dark hair and arm tattoo was very patient as I figured out what I wanted. Her suggestions were actually perfect, I had a delicious cheese potato crepe and mocha that she brought to my table. She was even nice enough to clear my dishes while I was still working on my laptop! I live right down the street and will definitely start coming regularly now!

Even though my bf works here, I have been coming here even before he was employed, I really love this place. It is always clean and professional. The food is always of top quality, and pleasing to the palette. This is a nice place to grab a cup of coffee, or the lush parisian hot chocolate. While the food there does rotate and switch often, the corn chowder is to die for. (I always have my bf bring some home for me.) I reccomend!

Ive been to the Chocolaterian almost every Saturday for a few months and Ive never been disappointed. Their sweets are great (I almost always get the chocolate mousse), but they also excel at "real" food! Their menu changes often (weekly, daily? not sure) so I cant recommend a particular dish, but Ive had many galettes, sandwiches, and quiches and all have been delicious.

One of my favorite coffee shops around. Decent tea options, a limited food menu with enough variety, and delicious chocolate products, pastries, and other treats! The chocolate mousse is my favorite. Plenty of seating, good place to meet people if youre looking to have a semi-private conversation (unlike really small coffee shops). Great place to work from.

The Chocolaterian is one of our favorite places for hanging out with friends, meeting work-project collaborators, or as a stop during date night. We always bring family from out of town here too. Food or beverage, there is something here for just about everyone. My absolute favorite is the chocolate mousse with a cup of tea or a glass of red wine.

I recently had a small baby shower for a friend at Chocolaterian and I was very impressed with the prompt setup and service. They organized everything and it was so nice to enjoy delicious cake and fondue without having to do the dishes afterwards! Highly recommend this place for coffee and treats with clients or friends, too. Thank you!

Ive had "the trio" every time Ive come here. The pancakes are delicious, LOVE the bacon, and usually get a side of the greens. I have NEVER been disappointed. The price and wait time is a little more than usual but they make it fresh and with local ingredients- so its totally understandable.

Love! The Hot Chocolate is what dreams are made of! Its really like melted milk chocolate in a tiny cup, not everyones thing but give one to a sweet tooth and youve made a friend for life. Staff are super fun and friendly too! Highly recommend!

This place is so much more than a chocolate shop. Great ambiance and excellent food make this a great place to hang out or get some work done. I generally use coffee shops as my non-office workspaces and this is one of my favorites.

I always got a coffee (top 5 in town) and an Ugly Cookie. A friend swears by the hot chocolate (literally liquid chocolate). Periodic live, acoustic music. They are fine with people bringing in board games.

Fantastic food, I love to get a sandwhich or salad for lunch with great coffee and of course, even better chocolate. I think ugly cookie is my favorite, but there is so much to choose from its hard to say.

Friendly staff. Beautiful display case of bakery made in house. Panini sandwich (which changes daily) was very good, served with a light salad. Quaint, peaceful atmosphere inside with plenty of seating.

Very good! It is a bit expensive, but its an actual chocolatier, so they use all the classic French teqniques. You can also see into the kitchen to watch the chef work, which is really cool.

Jeremiah Calvino

Everything is awesome! Im particularly fond of the mint meltaways and the Ugly cookies. Free wifi, great soup, cool art, and a huge window into the kitchen so you can see everything be made.

If you like chocolate, check out their amazing bakery case. Beautifully made treats of all kinds. Nice space for studying, writing, etc. Plus, locally- and woman-owned. Try the Badger Bait!

Their american hot chocolate is my favorite hot chocolate in Madison! That by itself merits the 5 stars. Their desserts are also a treat if you have the room for more sugar...

Heather Weller

Sampled lemonade, coffee, and three chocolate based desserts of different types and intensities, and everything was delicious. The only negative was trying to pick!

This is the best Parisian Hot Chocolate Ive had in the U.S.. The Chocolaterian is a frequent date spot for my wife and I! Plus they have music in the evenings;)

Michelle Danielson

Amazing coffee, espresso drinks and food in addition to superior chocolate (and mousse and cookies and tarts), in a comfortably casual atmosphere.

Orange Crate Concepts

The hot chocolate is to die for! They are very considerate of people with gluten allergies and offer some delicious gluten free options.

I wanted to try one of everything! Everything looked so wonderful! I had the cream puff which was VERY good! I will be back very soon!

Soul Reaper

Had a great selection of chocolate delights. Its my first time here, but the food was so amazing I felt inclined to leave a review.

Jay Edgar

Wow. Wow.Wow. The French-style hot chocolate is very thick and delicious. The cookies are complete decadence. Nice atmosphere.

Miche Llanas

Chill and relaxed with an enticing selection of coffee and wine. While sweets are a delight, try the savory offerings!
