This place is pretty amazing and the service is one of a kind. They have a great menu selection too and the prices are reasonable.

This is a unique dessert experience with nearby parking and delicious wine & chocolate pairings. I ordered the red and white flight and every combination is perfectly curated. Perfect for both the local foodie or tourist. Nothing like I've ever experienced, and I highly recommend it.

The place is small and was renovated from a regular house. They are known for their truffles and have a great wine selection. They have cheese plates, truffles, different types of wine, and pastries. The place is perfect for a late night treat. Overall, everything is nice. I highly recommended this place.

Came here for my Bachelorette get together and they were very nice and had a great knowledge of their product & menu. Sitting outside was nice and the patio was beautiful.

It's a nice cute place for dessert and wine! The ambience is very simple and nice. The staff super friendly. You should also try their carrot cake. The reason I am not giving the 5th star is because I thing they are a bit overpriced.

My husband and I stopped into Chocolate and Vines for the very first time tonight and were not disappointed! These were some of the best truffles we have ever had. The staff was also very kind and helpful!

It was late Sunday night. After eating at Dorado's, I was craving a good big chocolate cake. Found and went to this place. Even though I was within the working hours as mentioned on their website, it was late Sunday night so I understand why there were no customers. When I went in, scared, it was dead silent with lights off. It gave me a feeling that it was closed because most lights were off with no server around. I called out asking if anyone's there. After a minute, a man showed up down the stairs. (I guess the owner lives upstairs?) I asked him to confirm if it was open. He nodded and gave me the menu. I knew what I wanted. I ordered the chocolate fudge cake, hoping for you know... like how anyone would want a chocolate cake. A big juicy chocolate cake piece that you don't mind eating like the overweight boy from the movie 'Matilda'. Brace for the shock, laughter, and tears. The server/owner takes out a cake box labelled Leo's Bakery, slices a 1.5 inches, Not 2 inches but 1.5-inch chocolate cake slice, and charges me $7.50!!!!! (Take a look at the photos posted on yelp) I was in shock and laughing inside at the same time, to see the owner's audacity. He didn't care to reveal to the customer that he is buying a $22 chocolate cake from a mass-producing bakery and selling tiny pieces for an exorbitant price. I mean look at other dessert places (hinting Phillips European)!! They give you a good-sized cake piece. I was sad for not stopping him and walking away. I paid for the sad tiny cake sliver that was dumped in a styrofoam box which I knew in advance that it was not good. I live near Leo's Bakery and I have eaten their cakes. They are too sugary than chocolatey or whatever the flavour is. I can write a review on Leo's Bakery's page about the quality of the cake. It doesn't make sense writing here because they don't make it here. TL;DR Anyways, so don't order the chocolate fudge cake here. If you like it here, then go to Leo's Bakery. They sell 12 inches "half cakes" for $11 and full ones for $22. The restaurant gets it from here. Chocolate and Vines, how many of those fancy truffles, you actually make in-house? Heavily disappointed!!!!! PS: Don't hesitate to check out my other reviews to see that I'm not exaggerating. I write concise reviews. This one was a shocker and needed some storytelling.

I took the dark hot chocolate and it was ridiculously good! Classic was good too but not as rich in flavor. My daughter took flourless chocolate cake and liked it too. All desserts were very fresh.

First visit. Really enjoyed the tiramasu and cannoli. Will definitely return.

Me and my fiancé love coming here for sweets taste so amazing and fresh. And the people are so friendly and welcoming we will definitely keep coming!

I am so impressed with this place after our visit last night. The atmosphere was cozy yet sophisticated, and I really appreciated the perfect chill-vibes playlist coming through the speakers. The menu is large enough to have something for everyone, from various wines to a wide beer selection, along with individual desserts, truffles, cheese, etc. This place is sophisticated yet still affordable for a wine bar, which I appreciate--no snobbery here, just quality wine, chocolate, and service. Our server was helpful in answering my questions, and I appreciated being allowed to create my own truffle flight for the same price as one of the menu's truffle flight offerings! The red wines were wonderful, and my partner very much enjoyed the port wine flight. Each truffle was delicious and beautifully made. AND--one more thing that puts this place over the top--the bathroom was clean and well stocked, and even had Charmin toilet paper! From essentials to small details, this place seems to be doing everything right. Highly recommend!
