Crema's Take

Chocolaterie Stam is a beloved Des Moines destination that goes far beyond just coffee, offering seasonal chocolate creations and silky gelato in a charming setting complete with a flower-filled patio and thoughtful touches like complimentary cold water service. The team is genuinely patient and warm, encouraging you to sample flavors before committing, and they've earned a stellar reputation for everything from Valentine's Day chocolate-covered strawberries to full gelato catering that steals the show at weddings. Whether you're settling in for a slow afternoon on their inviting patio or stopping by for a seasonal treat, this is the kind of neighborhood gem that inspires fierce loyalty.

I don't know if I should direct this review to other customers or to the owners. My husband and I moved here in about 2017 and we are 2 huge fans! The seasonal treats are like something from another world. Last year we got to sample the chocolate covered strawberries. I went back to ask if I could buy some. They wouldn't let me, because it was after Valentine's Day but I put it on my calendar to buy some this year. We also got hip to the V-Day Snickers. Omg! There's no way your stock hasn't gone up since we moved here. The Halloween Apples!!! The Christmas Apples!!!! Terry and all the sweethearts behind the counter

Highly recommend Chocolaterie Stam, not only for the chocolate or gelato when you pop in, but also for catering!!! They catered gelato at my wedding and it was a HUGE hit! It couldn’t have gone over any better with the guests… it was delicious, fun, and we ate every last bite! 10/10 would recommend having them cater your next event! Affordable and perfect 🍨

Stopped here for gelato after eating lunch down the street. Everyone behind the counter was extremely nice and helpful. They were patient and let us try a few before making a decision. Their gelato was delicious! It was the perfect finish to our meal. I don't like chocolate but I'm tempted to go back and try it considering how good their gelato is!

Sat on the patio with music over speakers and cute little birds and flowers growing. Ate gelato and staff brought out cold water to us. So nice! Lived the sale selection of cards and enjoyed buying my daughter chocolates for her birthday.
