Such a great Cafe! Really yummy 😋 and great customer service. Cute and comfortable seating. We had the cob salad with the lobster bisque and the Belgian waffles both were really good.

The food is delicious. It is definitely worth what you pay for it! The staff is so polite. I met the owner on one of my visits, and she is so down to earth. The customer service is top tier. Everyone is so polite and the food is amazing! I recommend trying this hidden gem in Columbus

Recently visited the Chocolate Cafe and was again reminded why I love this place so much! Lisa and her staff are amazing, and I I love the vibe of this place! It strikes the perfect balance between elegant and relaxed, making it a great place to visit for any occasion. The staff here truly cares about their guests. They are always attentive, courteous, and polite, and make us feel like VIPs! We would come back just for the service, but the amazing food they offer makes it even better! If you’re a foodie like me, you’ll love this place! The menu has a fantastic selection, and we love everything they offer. From soup and sandwiches, to Panini’s and flatbreads and specialty grilled cheeses, to chocolates and cookies, to even their special order and wedding cakes, (which we had a chance to try and order), everything is top-notch and tastes delicious! We we’re blown away! I can’t wait to come back again! Definitely one of our favorite go-to cafes in Columbus!!!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Chocolate Café in Upper Arlington, Ohio, is truly a gem for those who cherish fine chocolates and cozy atmospheres. This spacious café is beautifully decorated for Valentine’s Day, making it a perfect spot for deep conversations or a romantic date. The dessert menu is impressive, with a variety of delectable choices. A standout for me was the Nutella Hot Chocolate, which I’d rate a solid 9 out of 10. It’s a rich, flavorful treat that you can customize with either white cream or marshmallows, adding a touch of luxury to each sip.

This cafe is absolutely a great place to hang out with friends and there are also many options for brunch, meals, ice creams, or desserts. I’ve tried a chocolate cake. It tastes great and not too sweet. Their breakfast egg wrap tastes great with decent grilled eggs, but it comes out slowly. My chicken soup is a little thick. WiFi is available.

On 9/25 I emailed this bakery inquiring about a gender reveal cake. On 9/29 I received an apologetic email stating that my email was delivered as spam which was the reason for their late response. I responded to their email on 9/29 but never heard back.

I called on 10/8 making the inquiry via phone. I spoke to Taylor which told me that she’d had to confirm with the baker if the cake could be made and to quote a price. I sent her an email containing various pictures of designs that could be used for the cake (as requested). I asked for them to pick whichever was easiest for them and to let me know.

On 10/9 Taylor called me back requesting a form of payment. When I asked about the design (as previously agreed) she said she’ll have to call me back because she’d have to speak to the baker. She called me later that day and told me it would be a mix of the two last pictures I sent (attached).

On 10/11 I received a call from Taylor to let me know the cake was ready (she texted me two pictures of the cake). The cake looked nothing like the inspirational pictures. I called Taylor asking if they could at least remove the top design as it was what looked most rushed. She responded that she would have to speak to the owner.

Lisa called me later on 10/11. She was apologetic and told me that she would heavily discount the cake if I still wanted it (I didn’t want it but I couldn’t get another cake in such short notice). The cake was originally $55, she gave it to me for $27. She assured me that the cake was delicious.

I’m writing this review because:
1. the staff was not at all friendly when my friend picked it up.
2. the cake was not delicious!! The sponge was dry and the filling was hard!

I trusted this bakery with a very important date for my husband and I. This cake was the birthday present for my husband as it was my way to tell him the gender of our baby. I was genuinely ashamed to show it to him. I made the mistake of trusting this bakery with a very special moment for us. On hindsight I see how I am partially at fault as I should have taken their initial lack of response as a sign of disinterest.

The first two pictures are of the cake I received and the last 2 are of what they said they use as inspiration.

Incorrect menu descriptions for both mine and my husband’s meals. Grilled cheese still super cold in the center and to top it off, a portion of a plastic label on the mozzarella in my sandwich. (Photo of said label after I removed it)
Both of our sandwiches listed pesto as an ingredient, but both were pesto-Mayo. My husband’s turkey sandwich’s didn’t list onions in the description and it had a bunch of raw red onion on it.
Lastly, it’s 36° outside and they’ve got one of their doors propped open over a foot.
