Christopher Elbow Artisanal Chocolates

Customer service was amazing and patient! The lady helped me pick our 48 pieces so I could make a double advent calendar. It is always an exciting time to go there. They make great gifts! I got the Black Friday online discount since I mentioned it. So I bought some smaller holiday flavors too.

Christopher Elbow Chocolates is a top spot in Kansas City for anyone who loves fancy, handcrafted chocolates. The chocolates look amazing, almost like little pieces of art, with bright colors and cool designs. They don't just look good--they taste incredible too. The chocolate is super smooth and rich, with just the right amount of sweetness.What really makes them stand out are the fun and unique flavors. You'll find things like lavender caramel, passion fruit truffles, and chocolates with spices or teas mixed in. The flavor combos are bold but work really well together, making each bite special.They also have drinking chocolates, which are perfect for when you want something warm and indulgent. Plus, their gift boxes are great for special occasions.The chocolates are a bit pricier than what you'd get at the grocery store, but the quality and craftsmanship are worth it. Overall, Christopher Elbow Chocolates is a must-try if you're into high-end sweets or looking for a unique gift.

I came in for the hand crafted gourmet chocolate and was intrigued when they offered the drinking chocolates made with oat milk and fresh whipped cream. Most definitely the BEST hot chocolate I've ever tasted in my life. It was so good I had to double back to buy a canister so I could enjoy this goodness at home! I love the fact that it is crafted from pure dark chocolate and blended with Tahitian vanilla bean. A packet of Swiss miss could never! I wish there was a franchise in Kansas, but I am happy Missouri isn't too far away. Special thank you to the girl who helped me pick out the perfect gift and use my reward the same day. I love companies that offer rewards for the money spent and I can't wait to come back and try the homemade marshmallows!

Christopher Elbow is one of THE iconic names in KC. I can't think of a more special gift than giving someone a box of Christopher Elbow chocolates. They are beautiful, unique, and delicious. It's fun to gawk at them from the other side of the glass. They also have seasonal candies, drinking chocolate powder, chocolate covered nuts, and chocolate bars! It's expensive - I'll give you that - but the whimsy is worth it. The reason to go to the store in Crossroads is to get drinking chocolate! It is luxurious, rich, and creamy - so much more decadent than a regular hot chocolate. They have delicious flavors. I recently tried the spiced dark chocolate, and it is SPICY! So warming. Getting a drinking chocolate was a KC bucket list item for me and my girlfriend for so long. One of the best times to come is on first Friday right at 4 pm because they often have deals where you can get individual chocolates for $1. It is crazy in there, and if you get there even an hour late, all the chocolates will be sold out. Get there early and reap the benefits!

All I can say is OMG!!! These chocolates are incredible. Definitely not cheap but every chocolate is a unique taste explosion in your mouth. Everything from the presentation to the information sheet inside which explains the different flavors of each chocolate to the professional finish of each piece of chocolate is mind blowing.Chocolateering is a science and an art allIn one. Each chocolate melts in your mouth and exposes the flavor bit by bit as it melts. I can't wait for my next box!!!

I'm not a huge chocolate lover but I could eat Christopher Elbow chocolates all the time. Unfortunately, Christopher Elbow only has stores in Kansas City and San Francisco. I've never seen these chocolates sold where I'm from. I stopped by the Kansas City store and tried a variety of their chocolates on display and purchased a box of Peanut Butter Cups. Christopher Elbow chocolates are expensive but so delectable and worth the treat for oneself or loved ones during the holidays or special occasions. I made sure to savor every morsel. I will be sure to stop by again the next time I'm in Kansas City.

Delicious chocolates. Artisanal and expensive but worth it to sample occasionally. Couldn't tell the single origin ganache apart because they all had the same chocolate shell covering. Bummer but delicious anyway. Rosemary chocolate had rosemary infused caramel inside. Yum!

Had a white elephant exchange and thought this was the perfect gift to bring! I've only heard of this place that was highly recommended by friends and I do see why. When you walk in the shop, it's a small very cute boutique chocolate shop with a beautiful assortment of chocolates in so many different flavors! I ended up picking the 8 piece assorted chocolate box that cost around $26ish. The staff assisting me was extremely helpful in picking out the best flavors and was very attentive. I was in and out of the shop in 5 min which made it really convenient (considering this gift was very last minute lol). Would totally recommend this to anyone looking for gifts for the Christmas time / significant other / or birthday gift!!! Definitely meant for a special occasion or if you ever wanna treat yourself.

I visited this cute, classy, chocolate heaven while I was exploring Kansas City. The chocolates are tiny pieces of art. Seeing them in the display when you walk in is a feast for the eyes. The worst part is trying to pick out which ones to buy. The flavor combinations are amazing. I bought an 8 piece box. I wound up buying a couple of extra pieces ($2 ea) and a dark chocolate peanut butter square. I believe it was $4. The size of this square is 2-3 pieces of the small chocolates. I also want to note if you love coffee, you should purchase one of their decadent espressos. They use their chocolate and then add in the espresso. They aren't very big and they are $6, but just soooo delicious if you like chocolate and espresso. Not only are the chocolates exquisite, but I got lucky and Cecelia was working the morning I visited. My partner stayed out in front of the shop walking our dog so I could go in and when Cecelia saw them out there, she walked out with a big bowl of water for my dog. She also spent time talking with me about the chocolates. After I picked the Earl Grey and a chai, she said we probably enjoyed some of the same flavor profiles and recommended some more even giving me one piece to taste because she thought I would like it. She wasn't wrong! The Yuzu Mandarin is exquisite. I wound up with the Passion Fruit, another Yuzu Mandarin, a Rosemary, Fresh Lemon, Lavender, Fluer de sel, and Pistachio Cherry. She made sure I had a menu that describes each chocolate so I could remember as I try them. They also ship! I believe they only have locations in Kansas City and San Francisco. After getting my chocolates together, making my espressos, and ringing me up, Cecilia asked if she could walk me out and meet my dog. She told us more about Kansas City since she had moved there 20 years earlier. The city has changed a lot but they still love it and it was the best move they ever made. She is a great ambassador for KC! She also loves animals and has rescue rabbits. My dog is very shy but let Cecilia pet her. She knows a good person when she meets them. As we were getting ready to leave, Cecilia said her Monday had started off frustrating and she thanked me for coming in because I had made her day much better! What a kind thing to say to a customer. She had made my trip to Christopher Elbow Chocolates special and joyful. I'll remember Cecilia long after the chocolates are gone, so I hope the company knows how much their employees brighten the experience of their customers. I am now eating my chocolates slowly because they are so pretty to look at and scrumptious! I'll miss them when they are gone! Maybe I'll call up Cecilia to place a mail order soon!
