2 Chicks with Chocolate

Cheap wine and meh chocolate, but even that was overshadowed by the not very nice presenter, Mary Ann. She was condescending, ill mannered, and generally not very pleasant. The worst was when she kept placing her water bottle in between two women’s elbows on our already clearly crowded table. It was clear the women felt uncomfortable and like their space was being encroached upon. Save yourself some time and money and seek out something better. Maybe there’s a Cacao Sampaca somewhere opening close by? I wish.

We held my sisters bridal shower here last week and had a very positive experience. Elyissia worked at a very good deal for us it was about 17 of us on a Thursday night we chose to bring our own food and just do the painting class with the chocolate canvas. It was so different and unique. The store in metuchen fit us perfectly but I don’t think we would have much space if we had any more girls. marianne was working that night and did everything to make us feel welcome. She even allowed my mom to come early to help decorate the store. We were very pleased and would look forward to doing another event with them not to mention the chocolate was just amazing

Just got back from cocoa 101 class I purchased on groupon. Had such a fun night! The experience all together was great. Whether you’re with a friend, family member or significant other. Staff was very knowledgable about chocolate and the company. We had Maryann she was fantastic. The chocolate is outstanding. I look forward to going again for a class and to purchase chocolate! The chocolates are a little pricey but you get what you pay for! Classes book quickly so if looking for a specific date, give plenty time in advance to book.

My manager came across their store in Metuchen as he takes the train from there into the City. We decided to use them for our holiday party as we give gifts on the table to say thank you for coming. From start to finish, the professionalism, kindness and thoughtfulness provided to me by Elyissia was bar none! She went above and beyond to be attentive to my company’s needs. She was always in contact via email or phone and always helpful with suggestions making sure all details were handled to ensure the finished product was superb. She even had the boxes of chocolates hand delivered so the bows wouldn’t be squished during shipping! You cannot ask for more personalization than that!!! Thanks again for your help and making our event special! We shall be back!

Went to the East Brunswick location for a wine and chocolate pairing and painting class that a group of friends and I bought a groupon for. First of all, we were told to arrive at the wrong time (30 – 45 minutes early), and then the class didn’t even start on time. Then, when the class started, we were expecting some instruction regarding what to paint, but we were just told to go paint whatever we wanted. The chocolate wasn’t really easy to paint because the chocolate hardens very quickly and there was only one warmer for a table of 12 people. The tasting part of it also left something to be desired. There were only 3 tastings, two of which you don’t even receive the actual whole chocolate, just the inside filling of the chocolates they make. After that we were told to walk around and look around the store — Basically the class felt like a ploy to just get people to come in and buy chocolates in the store. (And for 4 chocolates for $ 12, none of us were jumping to buy anything). The chocolates were good… and beautiful for sure, but that seemed ridiculous. I understand it’s a business, but it felt pushy. More tastings would have been a more persuasive way to get me to buy something. And the attitude seemed to change once it was obvious no one was going to purchase anything. Wouldn’t recommend this class… Chocolate is ok if you are willing to pay for it…

I was introduced to 2 Chicks by a friend who got the Cocoa 101 class through Groupon. It’s less than half off, so worth it! Class was awesome. Instructor was knowledgeable about chocolate. Best part, you got to taste some wine with the chocolate and you make your own truffle.
We liked it so much we decided to do the painting class. You get it for $ 15 if you pay during Cocoa class. This class is at another location (East Brunswick). Also, very good instructor (one of the 2 Chicks!). Entire painting and canvas is edible! Yummy chocolate.
Another perk, you give your contact info and every time you spend a certain amount, you get a coupon for discount. I think it’s $ 10 off next purchase, saved in their system. No need to carry coupon around
Another perk, they have refill boxes at a discounted price. So worth it if you’re chocolate obsessed like me!
AND they sell chocolate and candy from nut less factories. How thoughtful is that!
All in all, love this place. I come back again and again. Even got 12 truffles for $ 5 because of discount box and coupon. Can’t beat that. Highly recommend!

As I entered the place I was expecting to see a lot of different truffle selections. It was far less than I expected. I’m not sure if because I stopped by midweek and they have more during the weekend? I’m also not sure if there are different truffle selections based on when you stop by. And so I looked at the young lady behind the counter but she was busy on her phone. I start asking questions but also felt that answering them were a burden to her. I took me about a minute or so to pick 4 pieces of truffles because as I said there weren’t a lot of selections and that some of them had liquor or some form of alcohol in it. I felt the lady was become impatient and so I’m giving 1 less star for the less than accommodating lady and another less star for the truffle selections. Now about the taste, I’ve had better truffles sold by better a salesperson. I guess if you like the artistic outcome of how these truffles look like then you should try it. But if you go for taste rather than looks then you are better off buying somewhere else.

This place was interesting. You walk in and there is a display of amazing cupcakes, but they are expensive– 3.50 each. Then you have a counter with beautiful looking chocolates that are just as much art as delicious. They come in different shapes and have splatters of specks of different colors– really makes for an impressive assortment. When you buy, they give you a guide so you can play «what the hell am I about to eat.»
I went with the salted caramel cupcake and it was very good, but a bit sweet and not salty enough. The cake was moist and dense and really just an awesome cupcake. The price will prevent you from order 2 dozen for kids, but they complex flavors and combinations make these more for adults to appreciate anyway.
The chocolates were all great. My only issue was the price. $ 30 for us a box with 12 chocolates. The deal is, if you buy a box and keep it, you can go back and re-​fill it for ½ price. That still makes each square of chocolate over $ 1 each. Pricey. I’ll go back for more to impress dinner guests, but this is a special treat kind of chocolate, not an everyday thing.

Just came from the Cocoa 101 class. Had a blast! The instructor, Maryanne, was very knowledgable and friendly and the chocolate was exquisite. Definitely recommend this establishment and the class.

No Stars-​Class was terrible.
Paid full price, at the beginning of class the instructor yelled out about Groupon, not ice.
This was a showcase to sell their chocolates. The owner was to do something to make the Birthday girl I bought this for feel better, she never sent a gift card or anything.
At the end making the bonbons was a BUST! They threw a frozen container of ganache on the table, that was how they taught-​NOT!
Waste of money-Don’t go

The chocolates here are absolutely beautiful. I’ve only eaten them a few times because they are a bit pricey for what I can regularly spend on myself, but they are yummy when I allow myself to indulge. They do make an incredibly impressive gift, and that’s why I usually buy them. It’s nice to have a place in town where you can run in and pick up that last minute gift that is sure to please everyone. I used their website to do Mother’s Day gifts this year. The chocolates were shipped quickly, and I got outstanding customer service.

The chocolate bars are pretty good, but I’ve had better truffles and these were not worth the price. Also, avoid the coffee, it’s overpriced, isn’t good at all, and they fill the cup half way (their reasoning is they only offer one cup size, so if you order a small, it gets you half a cup!)

Fine artisan chocolates, high end chocolate, knowledgeable staff and big fan of the Chocolate and Wine Pairing class. The chocolate education was spot on and the tasting only enhanced the experience.

Place opened up in town a few weeks ago. I have gone in a few times to try it out. So far the place is doing well. They have chocolatier classes offering an exclusive class where you can learn Cocoa 101 as they call it. They also pair wine & chocolate and you can even make your own chocolate truffles to take home. This sounds like a fun night out with a group or if you wanted to make is a special night with that special someone. This might be something romantic. The Cocoa 101 Classes are $ 49.95. I have not done it yet but might be looking for it in the winter months. Or maybe even as a Christmas gift for my Bride. I will update as I visit more.
