I recently tried this hot chocolate and it was definitely worth the hype. It was rich, creamy, and incredibly flavorful. The temperature was not extremely hot when I received it, but it was the perfect kind of hot still comfortable to drink right away without having to wait long to enjoy it. The whipped cream and cacao nibs on top were a beautiful touch and complemented the drink perfectly. I honestly wanted to go back for seconds, but unfortunately I wasn’t in the area anymore that’s the only thing I regret, not getting another one! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND trying it out.

Tiktok sent me here (no joke). Had to try the best hot chocolate people have had, and it gotta say, it really is that good. I got the regular hot chocolate and it was perfect. Such chocolatey goodness, although you would think the size of the cup is small, it definitely satisfies any craving for hot chocolate!

I had their hot chocolate back in May before it became “viral” on TikTok. The chocolate is relatively rich and it comes with lovely toppings as well as a cool straw. The staff were friendly. It was a ghost town when I went, so I’m glad they’ve been getting a ton of business over the holidays! The shop owners can’t control how long the wait line is or the littering of their customers, so it’s not fair to rate them based off of those factors. Please use decorum when writing reviews for this small mountain town business

Saw two of them work tirelessly from morning to late night during Christmas Eve and Day. Hats off to their dedication and hardwork. We waited 1 hr on Christmas Eve and absolutely LOVED the S’mores hot chocolate! Worth the wait! So much that we went in again on Christmas Day and waited 35 mins to get s’mores and dark chocolate again. Hope they can eventually expand this mom and pop shop and have more employees so the wait is lesser and the employees can rest

The hot chocolate was very good and cost was fair. The line to get the hot chocolate was 15-20 minutes but worth it for the kids to get the experience.

We got dark hot chocolate and this was sweet to me but was able to handle the sweetness until the third sip. This is like the OG for hot chocolate. Loved it would come back. And the worker was dedicated worth serving good quality of drink.

Delicious hot chocolate. We got the classic, dark chocolate and the smore flavor. They’re good but keep in mind it is with flavored syrup that is bought not made in house. It’s definitely a bit of a wait especially during this season, expect about 45 minutes to an hour.
