Chocoholics

I miss this place. …
out of all the begium chocolate place
This is the best trusted place
I live close to larchmont visited this place often
I enjoyed having conversation with her
she knew that I am Korean and I also knew she is Korean but we never talked in Korean
The owner of this place loves chocolate and that is only reason that she runs this place
she selected the best chocolate ever for my girl friend
all the time
I can’t believe it is closed
Hope she reopens at different location if the high rent at Larchmont is problem

I love Chocoholics and if I have my way, I would probably stop by this place every time I am in Larchmont. They have an amazing selections of chocolates. They also have a few selections of ice cream and now they do serve coffee. I tried one of their ice cream flavors (Fosselman’s Ice Cream) the other day and it was really good. I think it was hazelnut pecan but not too sure. I only had 1 scoop and I am glad because it was so rich that 1 scoop was enough. Not sure how much it cost as I didn’t really ask. For the ice cream and 6 chocolate, I think I paid $ 10 to $ 12 dollars.

Ok, so since my last review, I have been in a few more times and it may be my imagination, but I think the scoops have become a bit more generous! I wonder if they read my previous review! Yay for big yummy scoops! 5 stars!

This place is said to stock the best everyday chocolates in LA. The owner says that she only imports the best (Belgium chocolates and Fosselman’s Ice Cream). Having tried many types of hand made and factory chocolates, I would say this is one of the best (at a reasonable price). Definitely better than Godiva and anything you get in a box from the major chains. I thought the most outstanding drink was the hot chocolate. It was very… rich. Like Broguiere’s Milk but in rich, dark candy hot drink form.
So support your local store… come here for a box of chocolate for that special someone… and get yourself a hot chocolate!

if you like coffee, I suggest you skip Starbucks, coffee bean, and peets. definitely give chocoholics it’s well deserved chance. my personal favorite to get, all the time, is the Mexican mocha latte. very yums!

Real hot chocolate… If your idea of a great hot chocolate comes from a powder or chocolate syrup from a name brand chocolatier topped with fancy toppings this place is not for you… The Belgium hot chocolate comes from chucks of chocolate melted in freshly steamed milk… If you like a bit more flavor get the Mexican hot chocolate the cinnamon combined with the chocolate brings out new flavors… All in all probably the best hot chocolate I’ve had in the greater Los Angeles area.

I had such crummy luck with this place as I never make it there in time and they’re closed early. So I finally came here for dessert with a friend of mine one Sunday afternoon and fell in love! Not surprising.
I walked in, saw the Belgian-​styled chocolates adorning the display case and looked around. Heard renaissance guitar in the background (bonus points!) and saw all the wonderful packages offered and checked out the menu. Word on the street is they’ve got the best hot chocolate in all of LA. I came out with a latte and a box of chocolates and took such a long time picking out what I wanted because everything looked so pretty and I just couldn’t decide. So I got every piece of the darkest they made and while it wasn’t dark enough for my palette, the 77% truffles were some of the smoothest and velvety Belgians I’ve ever tasted. You won’t go wrong with any of them. I recommend! If you’re serious about your chocolate, come by for a box. They’re closed early so you should plan around that. The price is worth the indulgence.

Wildly overrated. Middling hot chocolate, pace all reviews here (still too milky), passable chocolates (would have impressed five years ago, but now far inferior to the many beautiful chocolatiers which have sprung up all around L.A.), tea from tea bags, and ice cream where all favors taste like vanilla. Gave them an extra star because their workers are as sweet as their offerings.

The best hot chocolate in L.A. They make it fresh there by melting chocolate right into your cup. I know. I’ve seen it. They have a good selection of chocolates, though I’ve never had them. If you’re a fan of gelato, they also have some, though they don’t have vanilla, which is my favorite, so I’ve never tried it. Last thing, they’re able to make white hot chocolate as well, which one of my friends loves.
Parking isn’t the best on Larchmont, but there is a small garage across the street that’s pretty cheap.

My wife and I love this place. The caprice chocolates are the best and once you have one you’ll keep coming back for more. Jenny the owner is awesome and has helped us through picking out the chocolates that are perfect. Excellent service and the best chocolates in Los Angeles. Great place to stop by on a date too. =)

For those with a sweet tooth this place really hits the spot. Check out the cappuccino gelato its so velvety in texture and full of coffee flavor with a non-​over powering salty caramel after taste. btw they didn’t make the ice cream themselves but it’s from a local creamery

BEST… that’s right the best Hot Chocolate around!
I’m a sucker for hot chocolate in fact its pretty much all I drink when I venture out to coffee shops like Starbucks, Peets and Coffee Bean etc etc. So, I’m constantly searching for the best Hot Choco and I’ve found my new number one at Chocoholics (previously Coffee Bean held the number one spot).
They have various different kinds but, the best is Milk Chocolate by far.
Congratulations, Chocoholics, you are the new king of the hill.
Quick Tip: Grab the Raspberry Milk Chocolate treats… nom nom nom

Kind, Considerate, generous.
The hot chocolate is to die for.
The Mocha is AMAZING
The first time I went in I had just received great news and I wanted to treat myself to a fancy ice cream.
They were so sweet to me! They celebrated with me like we’d known each other forever!
They really love to give — it’s such a treat to be helped by people who love what they’re doing.
Highly Recommend it.

This place used to be Leonidas. They just changed their name, so I really don’t have to talk about how fabulous their chocolates are.
What I DID want to review is their coffee. Specifically, their lavender latte. When I passed by and saw that one of their Latte Flavors of the Day was lavender I just had to go in and try it.
Their lavender latte is my favorite coffee drink ever! The lavender flavor is soft and clean. That’s really impressive considering how easily the espresso can overpower other flavors. Plus, it doesn’t leave you with nasty coffee breath (like Starbucks lattes). The price is comparable to the prices at Peet’s, Starbucks, and Coffee Bean just down the street from this place, and downright reasonable considering the quality — $ 3.25 for a small.
Everytime I come here, service is always very friendly and personable. While he was making my lavender latte, the guy (manager? owner? barrista/​chocolatier?) was telling me how he tried to make acai lattes once and how it really didn’t work out. This place is always trying new things! I love it. I wish they had a lavender truffle like L’Artisan du Chocolat.

As I did when I was 5, I still try and order hot chocolate everywhere I go. I stumbled upon this chocolatier while pottering about Larchmont village and I must say, I thought I was in Bruges. Rich as anything, but the real deal nonetheless. A must for all chocolate lovers.

I was so relieved to see that Leonidas had just changed their name. I moved to San Francisco about 6 years ago and have been trying to find chocolate as good as I got here. I’m sure it exists! But I haven’t found it.
This is an amazing gem of a place, creating chocolates so perfect and delicious you’ll think you’re in Europe. So memorable, in fact, that I wanted to order some for my partner, who has never tried them! Hopefully that will be possible soon.

Nestled amongst the streets of Larchmont Village is this nice little decorated chocolate/​coffee shop. The staff was extremely friendly and I only came for a cup of coffee.
For about $ 2 or so, I had one of the great coffees I’ve had in a long time. There’s Peets Coffee across the street and a Coffee Bean not far off, but I’d recommend coming here for coffee. I haven’t tried the hot chocolate. I myself aren’t a huge chocolate person, so I haven’t actually tried any of the delicious morsels of chocolate, but at the moment when I was there, (for limited time) they had a free mini-​cupcake to go with a drink order. So, I chose the red-​velvet cupcake. It was incredibly delicious. I personally am not a «sweets» person, but it was an excellent pairing with the equally excellent coffee.
Next time, I’ll try out the chocolate. Will have to find someone who loves chocolate to give it to.

Pricey but WORTH it!
I used to live in Belgium and this is the real deal. I look forward to trying their hot chocolate next time.

Did this place just open? Only a handful of reviews, and several of the reviewers only have 1 review under their belt — that always brings out the skeptic in me.
It’s always hard for me to resist chocolate shops when I see them. I am almost always inclined to buy at least one or two pieces, which is what I did here. I walked in here randomly while browsing through the cute little street of Larchmont. Saw the lovely delicate chocolates on display and I knew I had to try them. I got two truffles — the Paradis and the Parissienne. The Paradis is shaped like a mini reese’s with a hazelnut filling. The Parissienne is described as almond cream on a bed of «double lait» praline.
Both of the truffles were good. They just melted in my mouth, with the perfect blend of cream and chocolate. Neither was overpoweringly sweet, and it gave me my chocolate fix for the day without making me feel guilty. However, I wish the selection was larger. Most of the chocolates seemed to have the same flavors — with a mostly hazelnut filling. They also have huge cupcakes and a variety of coffee drinks here that I didn’t get a chance to try. Maybe next time.

This place actually used to be named Leonidas — I went to write a review but realized they’ve changed their name
Anyways, the chocolate is delicious especially if you’re giving as a gift. Apparently this is one of the few brands of chocolate that doesn’t have animal fats like Hersheys and Godiva do.
Always a good selection and you can count on wanting to go back for more.
