Crema's Take
“Escazú Chocolates is a cozy chocolate sanctuary where the aroma alone makes you want to linger—this isn't just a coffee stop, it's a full sensory experience centered on ethically sourced, unmatched-quality chocolate that shows up in everything from their creative specialty drinks to their award-worthy bonbons and bars. With thoughtful vegan options, a welcoming patio, and a late-opening schedule perfect for an afternoon escape or evening meet-up, it's become a neighborhood favorite for those willing to invest in genuinely excellent ingredients and the kind of slow, indulgent coffee moment that justifies the price.”

This place is INCREDIBLE, with a great amount of vegan offerings. The quality of the chocolate is unmatched in the area. I love their creative flavors both in the bonbons and on their drink menu. Highly recommend the hot chocolate too - my favor it is the spicy one.
Ordered for Christmas delivery to NY, and they came through with the most gorgeous assortment of chocolates! I didn't make it easy as I requested nut, gluten and alcohol free to accomodate everyone, but Escazu did an amazing job. Hate that they left Person St, but their new location is still close and it's a beautiful space.
Super cozy little place, great chocolate! I didn't try too much while I was there but the bars and the toffee are KILLER! On the pricier side but it's 100% worth it for high quality, ethical chocolate. Tastes 10x better than any of the other "fancy" chocolates I've had. Staff are super nice. Need to get back here when I'm back in Raleigh.
We enjoyed our vanilla latte. There is a nice patio area for sitting outside. I can’t wait to come back and try their hot chocolate when it is a little cooler outside.
A possible chocolate lovers dream. Nestled in the outskirts of downtown is this fragrant chocolate shoppe with a variety of sweets and other goods. I loved walking in and being embraced by the smell of cocoa. We bought some chocolate to send back home to Honduras (our family loves the bars) The ice cream flavors change, stopping in to see what's new is fun. I definitely recommend trying their drinks too, the mocha was rich but a tad too sweet for my liking.
