Cocoa Dolce Artisan Chocolates
2132 N Rock Rd, Wichita, KS
Crema's Take
“While Cocoa Dolce is known for its artisan chocolates, their coffee program punches well above what you'd expect from a chocolate shop, with locals raving about rich cappuccinos and smooth Americanos that pair beautifully with their house-made pastries and macarons. The smaller Wichita location has a cozy, intimate vibe perfect for a leisurely visit or meeting a friend, though fair warning—their staff can be a bit brusque with newcomers, so don't hesitate to ask for guidance through their menu. It's the kind of place that becomes a treasured ritual for regulars, especially during the holiday season when their chocolate and coffee offerings really shine.”

I visited another location on a previous visit to Wichita and it had a larger workspace area where you could watch them make the chocolates. This location is smaller and not as interesting unfortunately. And the prices are... well... high! Consider it a luxury experience and not just a coffee shop. The chocolates are good and the staff was friendly but be prepared for a little sticker shock. I got a small box of 6 cocoa-shots, one piece of cheesecake and a generous cup of lemon-cello gelato and spent nearly $40.
The chocolate is good. But their customer service is pretty lousy, especially if you're a first timer who is unaware of their selection. Asked for a brief breakdown of their products and a suggestion, and the female at the register seemed annoyed, pretty nonchalant and blasé. Kind of snooty and uppity as well, and that's a massive turnoff. Secondly, the prices don't match the product received. We get it, the chocolate is good. But for the price, let's be real, it's beyond inflated. I guess the goal is to market this place as an upscale chocolate facility, but it all comes off as, well...snooty, and unjustifyably I might add. I can say I've been there, cool. But it's a hard pass on ever going again, and everyone I meet will hear about my isolated experience here.
We come here just once a year at Christmas time. But it's a highlight. Cappacino, Lattes, Chocolate, Cheesecake Or Macarons - everyone has a favorite!
I absolutely love their coffee!! Anything you get here is delicious! Americano with creamer is my go to. Butterscotch scone was lovely.
Visiting the area and wanted some ice cream. Saw the reviews saying they might be a little pricey but the scoops are big and we enjoyed ours. Plus there are some beautiful chocolates that looked amazing! We came on a rainy Monday evening before closing. The staff was nice and very friendly. We hope to see this business grow outside the local area.
