This is the best coffee/tea/chocolate/dessert place I’ve been to in a while. There is something for everyone. I mean from lots of different flavors of teas to specialty coffee to delicious premium chocolates and pastries and a variety of unique gifts. Everything is neat and organized but still warm and inviting. We were guests from out of town, looking to stop somewhere special on our way home and this exceeded our expectations. Will definitely keep it on our list of places to visit next time we’re driving through the area, especially during the warmer months👌❤️
I grab chai tea lattes here very often. I have never been let down by the flavor! It tastes the same every time I go. The cost is also in line with what a drink should be.
Though a little crowded because of the holiday this store had a beautiful and relaxing atmosphere. The cashiers were super polite. They were even willing to get me one single chocolate covered orange peel out of the case. The cinnamon spice latte was delicious and just as strong as I wanted it. Overall a great experience.
I write this from inside a tea shop in the new city that I live in. Chocolatea is the best tea and chocolate shop I have been to. For the two years I lived in Pfizer, this was my favorite place to be. The staff were friendly and knowledgeable, the teas were all so fun to try, the chocolates were delicious, and the atmosphere was so comfortable and cozy. Of all the places I miss in Portage, Chocolatea is at the top. If you are at all interested in tea or chocolate, this is a must-visit. And the sister shop nearby with exotic oils and vinegars is a joy too.
Delicious desserts and teas! Great variety with vegan options. Staff super kind and helpful. Sandwiches were okay.
