Katherine Anne Confections
2745 W Armitage Ave, Chicago, IL
Crema's Take
“Katherine Anne Confections is a cozy Chicago haven that transforms the simple hot chocolate into an art form—their flights let you explore six distinct, richly layered flavors at once, each one thick and luxurious enough to savor slowly. This quiet, intimate spot feels particularly enchanting on snowy winter nights, making it the kind of place where locals keep coming back year after year for both the exceptional chocolate drinks and house-made confections that friends request from across the country.”

We got the hot chocolate flight , we ordered 2 with 6 different flavours ! Each flavour was unique and rich in flavour !
Quiet spot to get a hot chocolate or even a couple of other sweet treats. The hot chocolate is thick and even a small felt heavy after getting through it halfway for me personally. They usually serve the hot chocolate with a marshmallow, but since I don’t eat gelatin they were able to substitute it for whipped cream instead which was much appreciated.
This place is absolutely magical on any winter night when it's snowing. I love it any day of the week really, but this shop is particularly magical when Chicago looks like a snow globe. I've been a fan of Katherine Anne from all the farmers markets all over the city- you name the market and chances are, she's there! You may think "all chocolate is created equal" but I can tell you that this chocolate shop is far superior. You won't walk into the shop and feel overwhelmed by their selection. They do a few things really, really (really) well: hot chocolate, homemade marshmallows, truffles and caramels. Within each of those categories are hand picked flavors that they've spent endless hours perfecting- the goat cheese walnut truffle is my absolute favorite. Their seasonal flavors are not to be missed! Run, don't walk to this Logan Square gem- keep our Chicago small businesses IN BUSINESS!
I've been coming here for years and get requests to bring chocolate truffles and caramels from out of town friends and family. It's such a staple of our community! While I'm not vegan, my family members that are are obsessed with the dark chocolate raspberry and champagne chocolates in particular. My personal favorites are the caramels and in particular the chai or spiced ones. Their coffee drinks are decadent and a really nice indulgence too. It's really fun to come here and find some popular staples and always something new and fun to try. The staff is always warm and helpful when I inevitably get stuck trying to pick as favorite from all the options. Thank you for being such a great
Have been here multiple times and the customer service is amazing. Such a warm welcoming place with not only great atmosphere but high quality food and drinks. I was recommended this place by a friend and have paid it forward with recommending it to my family and friends as well. The chocolate is so thick and creamy - cant wait to be back for more!
