So Chocolate

So I went back to get another cheesecake, after this store was sold to new owners. I was expecting the same vibe and feel to the store but when I walked in, there were two people behind the counter. A young man and a 9 year old boy. The young man stares at me, and boy did all of the talking trying to sell me a cheesecake slice. I looked at the half full cake and notice it seems to be end of life or something. I don’t mean necessarily bad but not just baked recently. It was an odd experience. Looking around the shelves were empty, not many chocolates, desserts etc. We left. Been back a couple more times but they seem to be closed more often than open. Not sure what to think about So Chocolate now.

This is always a great option for an after lunch/​dinner dessert. Although there was a recent change of ownership, the new owners are just as great and it is still the best place around to grab some cake or gelato after your meal. Looking forward to my next visit here!

This is a gem in a shopping center. My favorite little bakery! We love this place so much we are using them at our wedding for parting gifts. Try the cakes and pies that the owner makes exquisite does not bring it justice, but don’t forget about the «so chocolate square,» gelato, and homemade treats. (Squares and dipped Oreos are what we have at the wedding.)
Second is the different chocolate’s that have been collected and hand picked to be sold out the store, including the macaroons from over seas.
Hot chocolate, tea, and coffee makes this place a good quick date spot. For something special call ahead 20 mins before you arrive and have the macaroons defrosted and enjoy with some coffee or hot chocolate.

So Chocolate is a little daily run sweet shop at the front of Kingwood. They have homemade chocolates, gelato, and all sorts of unique deserts. They usually even have coffee should you want to eat your purchase there.
I had a slice of carrot cake tonight. This is my first time trying their carrot cake and it was amazing. I have never had carrot cake this good before. What’s really cool is the frosting. I’m not a frosting person but I could eat the frosting on this carrot cake for hours. It also has lots of walnuts, another definite plus.
If I had to mention a negative it would be their carrot cake’s availability. They make it themselves fresh but only on occasion. And on days when they happen to have some, it sells out quickly.
If you’re ever in Kingwood and need a treat, you should definitely try this place. And if they happen to have any carrot cake, make sure you try it.

Everything here is SO GOOD! The chocolate trifle cake is amazing, but be ready to share worth someone.
The macaroons are imported from France and ate delicious!
They also have several flavors of gelato that is also delicious!

So glad to have a dessert place in KW, finally!!! I’ve been going to So Chocolate at least once a month for the last year. I’m here to tell you So Chocolate’s owner makes the BEST carrot cake I have ever had in my entire life. Ever. It’s bananas it is so good.
Also excellent — cookies, vanilla cake with vanilla butter cream. Haven’t tried the gelato because I love cake and cookies so much, but I will eventually try that too. Enjoy a little slice of heaven at So Chocolate!

I know I’m not in Italy. I know I can’t fly there to get a little bit of gelato. But I can drive to So Chocolate and get my fill. It’s not a place to gorge and it’s not a place where they pretend to do the impossible (mix ice cream and fruits), but it is a quiet quaint little place to eat a chocolate or a tiny cup of creamy gelato with your special someone (and the kids).
The owner will serve you plenty and the soothing music will calm your soul, if for at least a few minutes in the afternoon. You must try it at least a couple times — you’ll keep coming back.

Had the chocolate mousse cake. Really good. The ganache on top gets a little lost, but there is a really nice balance of cream and cake and chocolate. Also samples the English toffee which was very good. The peanut butter pie is great for peanut butter lovers.

My wife told me this morning that the So Chocolate biscotti she just ate was the best biscotti she had ever had! She added «they really know what they’re doing». Now she wants me to buy a bunch more as stocking stuffers for others in the family.

I had heard about this place, so I went in today looking for dark chocolate salted carmels. First of all, they do not make their candy. They make chocolate covered pretzels, fudge and things like that, but individual pieces of chocolates ($ 2 each) they do not make.
The individual pieces of chocolate are arranged on little plates (about five per plate). Then there is a sign in front of the plate saying what the chocolates are. So I saw «salted Carmel», and I saw a piece (sample) of a square of dark chocolate with salt on the top. Makes sense to me… dark chocolate salted Carmel. I told the woman «I’ll take four (@$ 2/​each).». I should add I don’t eat candy, and I told the woman that, BUT I DO eat dark salted carmels.
I got home and opened the box. Much to my surprise, I had four squares of chocolate with gold diagonal stripes on it. I called the store and said «I didn’t want these… I wanted the dark salted carmels. I got chocolate squares with gold diagonal stripes on them.». She assured me that I got what I asked for. The dark chocolate with the salt on top was some kind of habanero candy.
She told me she would be happy to refund my money if I wanted to drive back there. If you live in Kingwood, driving on Kingwood Dr. Is no picnic, and I live about four miles from her shop. I thanked her and told her no, I would just suck it up and give the candy to someone else.
Not happy with what I thought I was getting. They need better signage for their individual pieces of candy.

Homemade cakes from scratch as well as terrific Chocolates and treats. Family owned, very good customer service.

We stopped in to check it out. The young man behind the counter was very knowledgeable and helpful even at the last minute before closing. We got the chocolates home and they were very yummy! Gotta stop by and try these!

I went in here in the middle of the day after shopping next door at a children’s store. I had my 2 yr old and 3 yr old boys with me and we were quite excited to try a delicious dessert. We ended up getting a decadent (and extremely delicious) layered chocolate cake. It was so amazing but very rich. I can’t wait to come back and try other desserts!

This specialty chocolate store offers gourmet chocolates, gelato and cakes. As some others have mentioned, this place is about quality not quantity. They offer a great selection of dark and milk chocolate with more dark chocolate options than any other specialty dessert store I have been to. The flavors are fantastic as well as the service. I highly recommend this place!

I came in here after eating at a nearby restaurant. I was stuffed from dinner, but everything looked so good I had a small cup of gelato. It was delicious! I wish I had room to try more things! Some of the specialty chocolates were a bit pricey, but they have cake, hot cocoa and other items that are more reasonably priced. Everyone working was very friendly. I hope to visit again in the future.

Went in after lunch next door. We tried the gelato and it’s yummy. A kids cup is the perfect portion and just $ 2.
The selection of chocolates and desserts are somewhat overpriced, but the gelato is a great addition.

Great family owned business! The owners are very nice. I’ve always liked what I’ve ordered here. Love the chocolate covered strawberries and cherries! They had some really good iced cookies for Valentines day and the last time I was there I tried some cake, which was great. It is a little pricey so it’s not something you would get all the time, but it’s nice for special occasions. I do wish they had a bigger selection, but it has increasingly gotten better each time I’ve been in. Can’t wait to try the gelato!

I don’t mind paying high prices for a delightful chocolate experience, but I kind of feel like this place is sticking it to the customers. Over priced chocolate for imported tasteless morsels in a not quite as cute as they hoped store. I’m not sure if the chocolates were old, or just really just tasteless. This chocolate loving Momma will not be returning. Still on a quest to find perfect chocolate in Houston.

We stopped in to this newly-​opened chocolate shop to get some Christmas gifts for family members.
They are definitely a quality-​not-​quantity shop. Primo quality stuff. One bite and you’ll pass out from all the rich chocolaty goodness that overwhelms your senses.
Its not something you’d want to eat all the time, but for special occasions these high end treats are very very nice.
The staff was super friendly and helped guide us through their small selection since nothing was labeled when we were there. I know they had just opened, so I’m interested in trying them again soon to see what new treats they have.

Since i first saw this place opened up i wanted to stop in. One afternoon driving with my husband I told him to lets stop in and get a treat! Well… let me frank. The place is small… the chocolate is limited… and WAY out of my budget. I wish i had known before walking in because I wouldnt have come. There were plates of little tiny nibbles of chocolate spread out on the counter and you just tell her which one you want. We chose a turtle, a mocha macaroon and some little hazelnut cone thing. $ 9. I do not mind paying more for a bigger bang for your buck but $ 9 for three bites of chocolate was a VERY special treat. If money is nothing to you and you can afford it than go and enjoy the deliciousness but if your budget is a little more modest than just beware you will be paying $ 2 – 5 for each small bite.
