The chocolates looked great, I bought a good few. But despite nobody else in line, I was rushed through ordering and the employees frustration was on display.
Small talk wasn't entertained and there was a sort of heightened stressful environment where customers (me anyway) were expected to show up knowing what they wanted and immediately order without conversation, pay, and leave.
I also ordered a coffee which was not great but not too bad, but it was filled too full and the lid leaked.
Nice, patient staff. Wide selection of flavors, beautiful confections, nicely tempered chocolates. There is also good range of beverages and local retail goodies! Makes for pretty and tasty gifts for others & yourself. Flavor guide available online and they change it up to keep it interesting :)
I've been a long time patron of this shop - first when I was an undergraduate student almost ten years ago at NC State, and again as a post-graduation student at Duke, following a five year break while I was in the Navy.
This place has been consistently amazing since day one. I feel it's one of the few places that didn't change in the five years I was gone, allowing me to feel like I was back home again!
I love their unique chocolate truffle flavors, their push pop ice creams, their coffee... everything! The shop items are really nice as well, and a good place to get something local as a gift for someone...or even yourself :)
My only wish is that they had indoor seating, but the space is unfortunately a bit small to provide that, but as long as the weather holds, it's such a great stop if you live here in Raleigh, or you're just visiting :)
