Recent Reviews
If you enjoy good chocolate, this has to be your first stop! Belgium chocolate, a great selection , nice employees and owner. Grab a coffee and shortbread, or better yet, an espresso and chocolate (Louise and marron are favs) to enjoy at the bistro tables in front of the shop in cute downtown Walnut Creek.
Makes the best gifts for family and business.

Leonidas — Love + Chocolate Shop is a delightful destination for chocolate lovers. Its selection of Belgian-made chocolates includes truffles, biscuits, chocolate bars, and the famous Alexander le grand, which many consider the best. The store is small but well-organized, offering a variety of options that are hard to find elsewhere. Each piece showcases rich, high-quality ingredients and expertly balanced flavors, making every bite a treat. Visitors often discover the complexity of flavors packed into simple chocolates, from classic pralines to unique truffles. The shop’s chocolates are priced accurately, making them a great gift idea for loved ones or a personal indulgence.
A standout feature is the cafe, where the mochas are a true highlight. Instead of using syrup or powder, they melt high-quality chocolate chips into steamed milk and add espresso, creating the best mocha experience. Soy, almond, and oat milk are available, and customers can request their preferred type of chocolate chips. These mochas are so delicious that they might ruin all other coffee drinks for those who try them.
While the shop itself is cozy and small, the variety of chocolates and flavors make it worth a visit. There are many options to choose from, and customers are advised to look at all before deciding. Besides chocolates, the shop offers gift boxes, variety packs, and coffee. Overall, Leonidas is a must-visit for anyone wanting to enjoy decadent Belgian chocolates and exceptional mocha drinks in a warm, inviting atmosphere.
