Chocolate Dude

After weeks of teasing on TikTok with that viral Dubai Pistachio Chocolate bar that I refuse to pay $40 for I discovered this place offered a similar bar for $20. Although steep I figured it was better than shelling out $40 for the one on TikTok. The staff was very friendly. They helped me find what I wanted. Not to mention the place was really nice. I loved the giant lava lamps!!The chocolate was excellent. You can tell they make a premium chocolate. The way it melts in your mouth is just savory, sweet, and remarkable. You can tell there's love in each batch. I mean bravo. Other than the parking situation it's a great spot. Fair warning tho if you plan on going in the afternoon and evening be prepared to park quite a ways. Parking fills up fast in that area. I'll definitely be returning. I think I need another one of those delicious chocolate bars. I also wanna try more stuff on their menu.

10 out of 10 still recommend! I got their Oreo caramel apple. Inflation definitely happened! I remember the apples being seven or eight dollars but now it is $10 for one caramel apple which I think is kind of nuts! But I still will buy it because it is so refreshing to have the crisp green apple paired with the sweetness of the caramel and chocolate!They also got the viral Dubai chocolate ($20 per bar). The outer shell of the chocolate is kind of thin, so it is difficult to break into specific pieces. My sister liked how much filling there was because it made it more rich!I do think their decorations are a little bit bare, but it was very clean.

We came to Albuquerque for vacation, every day we were there we finished our day with a dessert from ChocolateDude! Every single thing from the hot chocolate, lattes, to the fudge and chocolate covered strawberries was amazing! The staff was extremely friendly during every visit. As we head back home to Texas I am sad we won't have our daily ChocolateDude fix! This is definitely a must for anyone in the area or just driving through

Encouraged by another review of the hot chocolate, we stopped in on a cold evening. The location of the store in Nob Hill is lively and bright, and the interior of the shop is very hip. The service was very attentive and friendly. The chocolate is melted and mixed separately and foamed milk is added (non-dairy options are available). The whole drink was tasty but would have been better with far less milk. Eager to try some treat next trip, but if you're getting hot chocolate, make sure you ask for less milk.

Had an oat milk milk chocolate hot chocolate and it was by far the best hot chocolate I've had on Route 66.

I walked in on a Tuesday afternoon and the place was pretty quiet. I was immediately greeted and helped within seconds of walking in. I love the cute brick style entrance and the seating area. I picked up macaroons and a chai tea 12oz latte to go. In a chilly day like today there is nothing better than a well made chai. This chai had the right balance of warmth and sweetness making it a nice comfort companion for a nice stroll on Nob Hill. I can't wait to come back and try their chocolate.

On July 27th I placed a preorder for the viral Dubai chocolate bar. Today, July 30th I received a call, text and email saying my preorder was ready for pickup. Went to get my order and was handed a rather small bag. Got in my car and opened the bag to find a small package with two mini Dubai chocolate bars in it. I was highly disappointed because the product I received wasn't the one that was advertised on Instagram and on their website. As you can see in the pictures on their social media and website, the bar appears to be a decent size. Meanwhile the bar I got was two mini bars that fit into my hand.I go to their Facebook page to express my disappointment in the comment section of their post and they deleted my comments, and even blocked me from their Facebook page. What an unprofessional way to handle business. Please stop with the false advertisement! Put the correct pictures of your product on your website and social media! Don't waste $20 + tax on their chocolate bars, support a different small business instead.

I visited there for the first time on January 2, 2025. I called first to see if they had chocolate fudge with nuts and they said they had it and other selections. I had already tried two other stores in town and was disappointed with the fudge. I walked in and the girl was immediately offering to help me. I didn't have to wait or try to get somebody's attention. She was friendly and I told her I wanted to try the fudge. So I bought a piece and sat down and ate it and it was out of this world!! I went back and got three more pieces to Go. The texture was perfect. It's not mushy. It's like my mother's homemade hand beaten fudge. I'm in heaven. They have lots of other stuff. I'd like to try like the Piñon covered caramel apple and the Piñon toffee. Service was amazing. Chocolate is amazing. This place is amazing. I cannot recommend it enough I give it four stars!!

Truffles are good, also a nice variety of sweets and coffees. Not as much dark chocolate options as some other places in town. If you want to pick out all the flavors yourself, truffles are $3 each. It was a bit confusing because usually you pick a box size of 4,6,8 etc... but here you can just fill up a box with as many or few as you want unless you take a pre-packaged assortment. The Mexican mocha was very good, more chocolate in it than I was expecting. Parking was a bit difficult, had to go around a couple times and ended up paying for street parking. There's some indoor seating and although I didn't stay the area seemed pleasant to hang out in.

This is one of my favorite places to end up at in Nob Hill. It happens nearly every time. Start the night with libations at any of the spots nearby...Tractor, Slice Parlor or Happy Accidents. Then, a stroll ensues, and down I walk, towards the Chocolate Dude. The smell of chocolate when you walk in is euphoric. It always brings a smile to my face. They have a nice selection of hand dipped/made chocolates that you can point at from a display case and have in your hands in no time! I love to get the chocolate covered marshmallows myself. The chocolate covered oreos are a nice treat and don't forget the hot cocoa. It's down right delicious. I tried something new on my last visit. Chocolate covered gummy bears! I'll leave it at that.
