Lady Chocolatt

I have gone into this store in the past and I really liked supporting a smaller local business. In the past the folks working there have been helpful, nice, and knowledgable. I am not quite sure what has happened, though. I had a terrible experience there the other day and I won’t be back. Compartes is definitely a more professional operation.
First, the woman working there clearly didn’t want to assemble a box of chocolates so when I asked about putting one together she tried very hard to convince me that this would take a really long time and so I should buy a pre-​packaged one. I asked what was in there and she said a combo of milk and dark chocolate. This was a gift and my friend doesn’t really like milk chocolate, so I told her that and said I should just assemble one. She then told me that there really isn’t any milk chocolates in their boxes. What? She was just telling me anything to get me to buy the pre-​made box. I said no, let’s make a box. She then couldn’t figure out where the box was and the other guy working told her they were out of that size so I couldn’t get it. A different box cost more but had a 3 fewer chocolates in it. I asked if I could have that one and then have the 3 chocolates on the side. They said no because «you pay for the box and fancy bow.» I didn’t even like that bow. I can’t remember what else happened, but there were some other issues, so finally I said OK give me the pre-​made one, this is way too complicated. Then she said she was wrong, they didn’t have those anymore, only the really big prepared ones (something way too big for one person!). Arg! So what I left with was a one of their by the weight boxes — it had more chocolates in it than the flat boxes that I was looking at, but cost less. So it was kind of stupid on their part, I was willing to and wanted to spend more, but they made it really hard. I also felt kind of bad when I showed up to my friend’s place with this teeny box crammed with chocolates. Overall I felt like it was a huge burden to spend my money there. Oh, and I got a coffee. I asked how much milk is in their macchiatos. Answer: «a few.» Huh?

I bought a groupon to try this place. The strawberry milkshake was awesome. I also got the ham sandwich and it was also very yummy. The chocolate almond croissant was ok. I would def return to try the other café items.

I love everything here! The chocolates are delicious, the coffee is creamy, and the sandwiches are great for lunch. I highly recommend it.

Definitely my favorite place for great chocolate and croissants! Get there early so you get the best croissants (they sell out quickly), and enjoy the backyard patio with tables and a quiet area.

Amazing place with a huge selection of European chocolates, specially from Belgium. They also have sandwiches (the Caprese is a must) and try their Mango Coffee!

Surprise surprise! I have driven passed, walked passed, and biked passed at least 1000 times before but never stopped by.
Shame on me! This place is a real hidden gem. I tried hazelnuts ice cream, almond croissant, and almond milk latte. Omg. The homemade ice cream was heavenly. I don’t say this lightly. Was really good. The croissant was so much better than Amandine’s which is located near by and overly rated famous bakery. The owner said he gets pastries from a French bakery somewhere, Wish I knew which one! The latte was so so. I had better. I think I just didn’t like the type of beans they use, but cheaper than Starbucks!
I’ll be definitely going back there.

Chocolate is delicious. Very expensive. but sooo good. My favorite is the dark chocolate pistachio.

If there is one piece of advice I can give you: order the almond croissant. Get it heated up, too. It is the best thing I have ever had and it keeps me coming back for more. Also, this place has REAL chocolate from Belgium. If you don’t go for the chocolate — at least go for the staff. They’re always so friendly and welcoming!

I came into this place to buy a chocolate box, and stayed for lunch, The turkey sandwich is delicious!

Love the turkey sandwich, the bread is delicious, my latte was very delicious too. Great service and great chocolate!

I have been in search of a good espresso since arriving in L.A. eight days ago, with varying results. All have been acceptable, so far, but until I dropped by Lady Chocolate today, none were as perfectly brewed as Roberto’s is. It’s bold, smooth, and not at all acidic. I haven’t tried his chocolates (handcrafted in Belgium) because if they’re as good as his espresso, I want to save that special treat for another day. Since I plan to make this my daily coffee spot, we’ll see how long it is before I cave. One more thing… you’ll find Roberto is a very friendly, enthusiastic guy. Bravo!

We decided to try this place on a whim after our morning run one day and instantly became addicted. Their croissants are amazing and they’ll even toast them for you! Everything they sell here is lovely and very high quality. I come about once a week to pick up a croissant for breakfast and a handful of chocolates, and I’ve yet to find anything I didn’t like.
Favourites:
–ham and cheese croissant: this one is in high demand, they don’t seem to have it every time I’m there unless I go right at opening
–almond croissant: sjfalhglsjflsgdsf I’m a huge sucker for almond croissants and this one is really good
–hot chocolate: insanely rich, really good with a scoop of hazelnut ice cream
–Earl Grey chocolate: tea and chocolate, two of my favourite things
–roasted hazelnut chocolates: could eat like 2 349 208 591 384 985 of these; I’ve been buying one almost every week despite my original goal of trying all the chocolates before repeating any
–caprese sandwich: I don’t know where they get their bread, but I’d love that source. Baguette is crispy on the outside but so, so soft on the inside.

The owner helped us and was extremely helpful and nice. We got chocolate for my dad’s birthday and he explained every chocolate, box, and flavor. We definitely recommend stopping!

This place is amazing!!! I would buy everything in the store if I could. They import real Belgian chocolate and it’s incredible. The Belgian waffles are also very delicious — we like to go in for a waffle with Nutella and cappuccino. The owners are really friendly and the service is great.

My bossman wanted to impress HIS boss, so he sent me on a quest for Belgian chocolates in Los Angeles. A quick Unilocal search later, I found myself heading to Lady Chocolatt.
The storefront is small and humble, with a small seating area out front. Traffic and parking is typical for Wilshire (dicey, and widely variable based on the hour and day of the week), but I got lucky and found a spot in the California Wok parking lot next door. I purchased an assorted ballotin for boss’s boss, which they gift-​wrapped beautifully. The owner was very friendly and patient in explaining what all the flavors were, and helped me pick out an assortment that was nut-​free and chili-​free. My bossman also told me to pick out a few pieces for myself, so I was thrilled to be able to try some of the more adventurous flavors. Rich, creamy, with beautiful chocolate flavor, everything I tried was amazing!
4 stars: This is gourmet chocolate, and you will definitely pay for the high-​quality chocolates you get here. A little too $$$ to be an everyday indulgence, but the ballotins make wonderful gifts for when you need to impress. Excellent flavor and beautiful presentation will get you bonus points from your bossman!

My bf has been bringing me goodies from here so today we went for their belgian waffles and more of their belgian hot chocolate! Called Velvet! Yum. The Owners were there and were charming! What a sweet feast for the eyes and melt in your mouth pleasure! Awesome place. Should expand!

This is a beautiful little chocolaterie — i happened to have some time to kill and got here by chance.
I took a café latte and a dark chocolate chili chocolate. Apparently every chocoate piece is handcrafted in Belgium and I believe him.
The chocolate was extra rich and the chili was an amazing addition– very spicy but the only aftertaste was a choclatey one. Just amazing
For coffee lovers the coffee is excellent– they use real coffee beans– Im not a coffee expert but it was pretty good.
The clerk was very nice and seemed Italian or Belgium (I think he spoke Italian on the phone) and I felt like I was in Europe for a second.
They also have a beatiful calm sitting area with natural light. I would probably bring my mom here for an after lunch treat.
They also have belgium waffles and ice cream :) A bit on the expensive side but very worth it for a sweet gift or coffee time.
Make sure to check in for the 10% off :)

I had a craving for Belgian Waffles and wanted to try Lady Chocolatt Café for the longest time. Last Saturday when I arrived I was sad to learn that they no longer make them and instead have Liege Waffles. I am generally not a fan of Liege Waffles because they’re just so sweet but hey I had a waffle craving that needed to be satisfied! Anyway, the waffle was good, the service was friendly too but I don’t see myself returning unless the Belgian Waffle is back.

Wow! Every now and then you find a winner and a keeper. This place has chocolate that has been flown in straight from Belgium and it’s the closest you’ll get to a real European experience in this area. We had the espresso, a cappuccino and a chocolate croissant along with some chocolates we purchased afterwards. They also have Belgian waffles that we will be returning for!
The couple that runs this place is awesome. They are from Europe and are genuinely bringing that coffee house vibe, great coffee, chocolates, and croissants.
We had great conversation and the place is very cute. Parking was easy on a Sunday but they may not normally be open then… Perhaps a Holiday thing. I can’t wait to return and try the waffles!!!

We traveled to Belgium in August, and found ourselves longing for Belgian waffles and chocolates. Discovered this sweet tiny place via Unilocal,and so close to daughter’s apt. Had brunch with a small quiche, salami baguette sandwich and nice waffles. Best was with caramel sauce and whipped cream. Bought gift box of chocolates and some singles for later. Belgian chocolate is so good, and this sweet little shop made us happy. Gift will make another happy on Christmas – pretty wrapping. Did 10% off via Unilocal offer. saluting the cows and plants that helped chocolate to be! Worth a stop for chocolate and waffles if in the vicinity.

My regular spot in my neighborhood for delicious coffee and killer croissants. I’m here 2 – 3 times a week and let me tell you that they are the shit. The chocolates are all so delicious and so full of flavor – who could bear to eat any kind of drugstore chocolate when there’s this hidden gem?
They just renovated too, and everything is so well done. There is a courtyard to sit in and they have free wifi.
This place skews a little more expensive than other coffee places but why shouldn’t it? It’s got incredible products and customer service, and more importantly, it’s not Starbucks.

I stopped by once when I lived in Brentwood and absolutely loved the chocolate selection. You can tell it’s authentically European, with the little truffles delicately made. I also go the hot chocolate, which was sweet and amazing. One of my biggest regrets was that I came in too late to try the Belgian waffles :-(
Based on other reviewers’ feedback, it’s a must try, so I will be going back again soon! It’s not the cheapest place, but I’m a big believer that you get what you pay for… to a point. :-)

Very cute shop! When I came it was completely empty, but it was in the middle of the day. The woman helping me was very kind, and served me right away. Be sure to check in so you get your 10% off!
I ordered an iced americano and one Bergamot chocolate. The espresso was amazing — I usually add some cream to my coffee but this didn’t require any! It was smooth with just a little added sugar.
The chocolate was amazing as well, it was a little piece of artwork. It had a teeny tiny flower on the top, so cute!
It’s quiet inside, and I sat down and read a book for awhile while enjoying my coffee. Also, the fact that it’s well air conditioned makes it a great spot to stop on a hot day.

Absolutely the best place to go to for Belgian Waffles. Lady Chocolatt is a tiny little café in Santa Monica that serves a variety of authentic Belgian chocolates, a number of pastries and sandwiches, and the most wonderful waffles ever.
I visited recently with a few friends, and we ordered two waffles, one topped with triple chocolate ice cream and the other with cookies and cream ice cream. OMG… so insanely delicious. The waffles were crispy and buttery and warm and tasted so incredibly fresh. Paired with the ice cream, it was just heaven on a spoon. We devoured our two waffles within a few minutes and were beyond satisfied.
The café itself is quite adorable, with a little patio area on the side with little tables and fresh flowers. Guests can enjoy the wonderful Santa Monica weather whilst eating their meal or enjoying their drinks. The chocolate here is beyond delicious as well, but I suppose there’s no need to really elaborate on that considering they are handcrafted in Belgium and flown here.
Definitely recommend this place for a weekend brunch or a mid-​day waffle run. Just make sure to check their hours because they do close fairly early.

This is a small very cute coffee shop with what must be very very addictive chocolate which i am told is flown I’m from belgium. It is on the pricier side but boy is it something else. I went in for a few cups of coffee as i was traveling and the sour pusses who are very very finicky loved it as well. Now that is saying something about the coffee. Sure some fools would rather drink Starbucks and their evil burnt Corp coffee but then again this is not the place for that pretentious third world slave latte ! So if that’s your cuppa Joe then don’t bother.
Back to the chocolate i almost walked back in like a deluded crack head saying this is to be my last fix. I wound up buying more than i want to admit ! I agree I have a problem!
Checking in with the Unilocal app gave me a 10% discount which i made up by ordering more chocolate! Boy am I glad they are not in phoenix cuz I would be one fat brown bear !
The staff one of whom must own the place (or they pay very very well !) Was very very polite and courteous. Def helped me with his recommendations and I would gladly go back in a heart beat

Make sure to check in on Unilocal to get 10% off!
It’s a small chocolate shop with two little tables and chairs. Yes, it’s expensive, but soooo worth it! What’s neat is that the chocolate is handcrafted in Belgium and flown straight there. For about $ 12 — $ 13, I got about 8 — 9 pieces of Belgium chocolate (goes by the pound). The chocolate was UH-​mazing! I initially wanted to eat one at a time and savor each one, but I ended up eating 6 pieces in a row because I’m a little piggy. The hazelnut ones were my absolute favorite. My mouth is salvating just thinking about them right meow. I also bought a chocolate duck that was way too damn cute to eat and some white chocolates that had adorable cows on them. Altogether, I spent $ 46 out the door.
Apart from the chocolate, the service was awesome! The guy helping us was so nice and answered my bajillion questions about the chocolates. He even gave both of us a piece of chocolate to sample!
A must-​visit if you’re in LA!

Reminiscent of my trip to Belgium several years ago, Lady Chocolatt had upscale chocolate novelties and decadence down to a science. I headed there for brunch and as I waited for my waffle, I perused the chocolate case where they house every variation on chocolate candy imaginable. It all looked so tempting!
Sitting in the small café, I sipped on the classic Belgian hot chocolate which was super rich and creamy. The waffle was light and soft and topped with powdered sugar. I added some of the homemade whipped cream and chocolate, which I asked for on the side. The whipped cream was a perfect texture and the chocolate syrup was just liquid goodness.
This is such a nice, little, cute space with some of my favorite things. While I like hot chocolate with milk chocolate better than dark chocolate and I like a little more flavor in my waffle batter, I enjoyed my brunch at Lady Chocolatt.

Oh, Lady Chocolatt. I like you a lot.
The cute storefront lured me in with Coffee that was hot and Chocolate that was twice as haut. After some thought, this is what I bought: a traditional Belgian Waffle with Chocolate Sauce & Whipped Cream and a large Latte. As I indulged in my chocolate breakfast in the quiet «back room,» my worries were for naught. The waffle was what I sought because the chocolate & cream were better than you know what.
As I left, Lady Chocolatt Café had me singin’ like Lil’ Kim, Mya, Pink, and Christina …

Hey sista, flow sista, better get that choco sista
