Caffe Chocolat no longer exits. It was sold a couple of months ago and is now a pizza joint. I’ve been here twice. The first time, it was a rainy, dreary evening, but according to the posted hours, Pistilli’s Pizza was supposed to be open. So glad I drove downtown in the rain for nothing – not even a note on the door. Last Friday evening, the second time I was here, was actually quite shocking. We were a party of 4, 2 adults and 2 kids. Thank God my grandkids are awesome. We stood there waiting to be acknowledged for at least 20 minutes, not even a greeting. Finally a guy says they’re clearing a table. They did, and the one next to it, and 2 booths across from it. We still stood there. I finally interrupted the girl cleaning the booths to ask if we were supposed to seat ourselves, although the sign indicated we were to wait. Finally we were taken to the wet table and wet seat. Our server came relatively quickly to take our drink order, and then food order. It was quite obvious that she was very busy, because she barely spoke, just hurried., but she brought our drinks right away. This was nice because we sat there and waited, and waited, and waited some more. Every once is a while there would be a loud clatter from the kitchen jarring us alert, as though we needed that with 2 kids in tow. After we had been sitting there for about 45 minutes, or so, the nice couple beside us, who had been seated the entire time we were standing there waiting for a table, finally got up, threw a $ 5 bill on the table for their barely touched sodas, and left. About 15 minutes later, the server came out with their pizza, completely oblivious to the fact that they were long gone. After a little while longer, I caught the attention of a man who appeared to be managerial. I told him that we had ordered well over an hour ago, and he offered excuses for their poor service. Apparently, they had sold over 100 pies that day. They were being delivered to Bar IX and Playalinda Brewery. He said maybe the server should be trained to tell customers when it’s going to take an hour or an hour and a half to get their pizzas so they expect the wait. Ya think? So here’s my take away, Pistilli’s is sacrificing their business to enhance that of their neighbors. Very altruistic. I don’t know how long the folks across the street were having to wait for their pizzas, but if you’re hungry, go to another establishment and phone in your order for delivery. At least you can enjoy a beer while you’re waiting. So, after arriving at around 7:15 and being served at close to 9:30(I mind the children’s bedtimes – usually, but was already a little late due to working all day), the pizza was okay when it came. I mean we were hungry, but by this time, too tired to really care. Oh, the man with the excuses, Mike, I think he said, did offer us a 10% discount and a free scoop of ice cream for the kids. Yeah, I don’t know what kind of business plan they have, but I imagine there will be another vacant storefront in Titusville before you know it.

Cute chocolate shop with ice cream. Great for a cool treat on a hot day! Indoor and outdoor seating. We purchased chocolate and treats and sat outside. Everything in their gift shop is 50% and we found some nice trinkets very cheap! Space shuttle magnet .75!

I work in Titusville and find myself eating here for lunch all the time! It’s a quiet little place, never overly-busy or crowded — so I would say it’s especially nice for anyone looking to catch up on work in a peaceful restaurant where you won’t be consistently interrupted! I recommend the chicken salad(I get it as a wrap), delish! Only complaint is that sometimes the service is swing or miss. They have a few young kids as servers here, so that might have something to do with it, but hey — can’t say I could do any better!

Brutal. Nearly empty restaurant and it took an hour to get our meal. Our food was cold and soggy. Ugh! And my husband did not get his salad. Cheap soup, cheap coffee masquerading as something better. Avoid.

What?! This tiny and obviously old fashioned chocolaterie was stumbled upon in a shocking way as we got lost in a god-forsaken city — but, once we opened the door to this bright(and I mean, BRIGHT stop off US1; it was dang worth getting lost to have the chocolate they make! I’m sick; but in a happy why did I eat more than I should’ve, it’s so creamy delicious and salty sweat that I couldn’t stop from buying all those amazing little pieces of different styles and flavored chocolates! You have to try this place… too bad, or maybe thankfully to my «no sugar» allowed body; that it closed at 8:00 pm. Yum; the best I’ve had in a longggg time… home-made & wonderful! A little pricey for that extra loving touch on every piece we ate; but, well worth it! Yes, try it… it’s worth a one time treat!

If it weren’t for the delicious coffee drinks, I would be giving this place a 2⁄5! The food is alright, mediocre at best. Their chocolate though… leaves you not desiring anymore. It doesn’t completely suck, but it does taste strange. I personally think Hershey’s has better chocolate.

This review is based on their chocolate which was excellent!!! If you happen to stop by here(one of the only few stores that seems to have any kind of human activity going on) you have to try their chocolate covered caramel patty with a light sprinkling of sea salt on top; WOW, that will knock your socks off! I’m so glad that the gentleman helping me suggested it. It’s priced by weight, I think it’s $ 28 a pound. I know what you’re thinking, but if you get a box of 4, I only ended up paying $ 3. It’s worth it though, the chocolate has wonderful depth of flavor. While I was getting my chocolate I saw a couple of people eating sandwiches with what looked to be just regular wonder bread, I didn’t really see anything outside of what you’d make out of your own kitchen. Try their chocolate though, it’s worth the pit stop.

Caffe Chocolat is a cute little restaurant in downtown Titusville. I am giving it 3 stars based on the fact that the food isn’t anything spectacular and the service leaves much to be desired. Let me explain… Am I saying you shouldn’t eat there? No. Am I saying the food isn’t good? No. The food is good. But I’ve never left thinking it was awesome and I’ve never been excited to plan my next lunch there. It’s decent food that you can get anywhere else or even make. No wow factor. I’ve never tried their specialty coffees. I have had their Chai Lattes a few times and they were just meh… They have a cute little chocolate/dessert case near the front that my kids get excited over. The excitement comes from the fact that they get to look at and pick out a piece of chocolate. It’s definitely not chocolate to rave about. It doesn’t suck… it just doesn’t have that wow factor(again). I have never once had awesome service there. I’ve SEEN other people getting awesome service but I tend to always get the waitress that doesn’t have much personality. Today, in fact, I had to send my daughter to track down napkins and she only brought us one fork. We would have asked for more of she could be found after dropping our food off at the table. She never returned. We had to ask another waitress for our check. And this is the norm for this particular waitress. She seems like she’s…too busy… for lack of a better word. While I was sitting and waiting(and waiting and waiting) I noticed two other waitresses paying lots of attention to their tables. Making sure they had everything they needed and checking on them often. Didn’t get that once from ours. It wasn’t even rush hour lunch time! We ate at 2:00! So yeah… I’m sure we’ll go back from time to time. Like I said, it doesn’t suck. But it’s just not that awesome either. There’s a cute little place across the street called Kloiber’s Cobbler that is much better. And while you’re in the area, visit an awesome clothing boutique called City Glitter.

Great little place. The owner made us feel right at home and served us great food quickly. Nice area to sit outside. Good lunch place.

I find myself in Titusville from time to time for work, and I always come to this place for lunch. It is one of the only local AND good restaurants in town. I recommend the«Half of Everything» special, where you get half a sandwich, a small salad, a little bit of hummus with pita slices, and a piece of their dessert of the day. Very filling and always delicious. The café is very cute and eclectic with lots of gifts and desserts to purchase. If you’re in Titusville, you must stop here for lunch!

Mediocre at best. Not bad but nothing too spectacular. Got the gyro and chicken salad sandwiches. Tried the turtle mocha and it was semi sweet but came in a venti size which was the only plus. Nice place on occasion, but not an everyday stop.

I’ve been here numerous times over the years, for lunch, and have never left disappointed. It’s been quite some time since I’ve been and this time left satisfied but a little dismayed at the same time. Food-wise, everything was fresh and delicious. I had their Gyro and Greek Salad. The salad was crisp and fresh, while the gyro was big, bigger than I expected. The wife and daughter had their egg and tuna salad, respectively, both of which were great. Their dessert chocolates are awesome and remain so. I had the White Chocolate Turtle, the daughter had the Almond Chocolate Bar, and the wife had their Raspberry Chocolate brownie — all of it good. What was disappointing was the service. Although the food was prepared and served relatively quick, everything in-between was slower than molasses. We had to wait to get drinks, we had to wait to get refills, and we had to really wait to order dessert. If it weren’t for that I would recommend this place as a four-star. Hopefully, it was an off day for them…

This place is just perfect. The staff is so friendly, even with how busy they stay. The food was delicious. I got to let the owner know how wonderful everything was. She is one of the nicest people I have ever met. If you are in Titusville please stop by. You won’t regret it.

I can’t wait to try their desserts and when I do I’ll do a separate review but for now I’ll just say that I loved their hot chocolate. It had a very rich tatse but it wasn’t overly sweet. It was perfect for that evening because there was a slight chill in the air and it definitely hit the spot! I’ll be venturing here again!

My wife and I ate here for lunch on Friday afternoon. The place was full, but we were seated pretty quickly. My wife ordered a Southwestern wrap, and I ordered a Chipotle Chicken pannini. It took a little while for the food to arrive, but not a long enough time to upset the average customer. My pannini was really good. The large slabs of chicken were moist, the sauce was flavorful without being too spicy, and the red onions added a little more zip. The potato salad was creamy and sweet, great for me, but too sweet for my wife’s taste. Overall, it’s a nice place to eat, but as previous reviews brought up, the service is slow. In the server’s defense, there aren’t enough of them. They were constantly running to keep up with the flow of food. But as a result, they have no time to come back and see what you think of the food. It took a while to get our bill, and then about 10 minutes to actually get to pay for it. There was a constant line at the register the entire time we were eating, and, I waited in line 10 minutes to pay. We will go back, but we’re retired, so the time issue wasn’t as frustrating for us as it would be for most people. If you’re in a hurry to get lunch and get out, don’t go here. Otherwise, it’s worth a visit.

What can I say! It’s a cozy little café in downtown Titusville. You will love their soups and sandwiches, and browse the candy and ice cream shop afterwards!

I just needed someplace to get some serious coffee so I would not fall asleep on the road. This place did the trick.

Wanted to give this place four/five stars. Was hoping it would be. But, after over a twenty-minute wait for chocolates, and a disappointing two coffee drinks and a pound of chocolate, I just have to settle for the three stars. This place would attract tourists & locals, but can’t imagine what would compete with it either. Most of the chocolate tasted alright, but nothing amazing or out of this world. The drinks; my caramel something tasted like straight-up coffee with a few caramel pumps. Hubby’s mint tasted watered-down. Free parking, and a cute layout, with decent service(he was very apologetic), but two people for the entire area? Come on management — that’s no way to keep customers satisfied.

Honestly, one of the few restaurants in Titusville I take the time to go to when visiting. I was always very fond of their chipotle chicken panino and their hummus is pretty tasty as well. When I was younger and could deal with with insanely sweet coffee drinks, the mint coffee was a favorite. Their fudge, of course, is divine, and their little shop is pretty adorbs and great for buying little whosits and whatsits for your favorite Auntie. Allegedly their menu now contains legit dinner-type foods, but I’ve not seen an updated menu on their website, so I can’t judge on that. All in all, it’s one of the closes places in lil olé T-ville that reminds me of one of those cute Sarasota cafes that I loved so much and would even(dare I…) call it chic.

Been going here for about 4 years or so. The quality of the food and service have definitely fell down the gutter. Been here about 3 times in the past year. Each time the food hasn’t been great at all. Service isn’t great and takes about 20 minutes just for a sandwich. Soup taste like it came out of a can. I guess it’s probably your best bet in town for what is in Titusville. Just don’t expect much!
