What a cute, quaint little store. The hazelnut torte cake is to die for, and gluten free! In fact many of the things there like the truffles and macarons are. Cookies and cream macaroons and Madagascar vanilla truffles? Yes please. The cheese bread was also very tasty, and again gluten free, so +9001.
I’ve been a regular customer since Edi first opened. I do marketing so I’m often picking up treats to take to offices. I love the ease of her location relative to my office, the variety of delish treats and her daughter, Olivia, who always greets me with a smile.We catch up on our lives and off I go with some delicious cakes, pecan or lemon bars and some of her delicious Brazilian cheese puffs that I get every time I’m there.I love supporting small businesses as well.You’ll love them.
Some of their prices are decent and the quality overall of their desserts is pretty good. They have good packaging, tooWhat I tried and my picky self’s review:1. Italian cream cupcake: great flavor, beautiful piping but dry (maybe sat out too long?)2. Maple pecan bar: big portion, average flavor and texture—too sweet and needed some oomph, maybe spices and a hint of sea salt and more of a crunch for the pecans3. Lime bar: definitely THE WINNER! Great taste on the curd, amazing taste and texture on the shortbread. And large portion, so great deal for the $. I could eat it every day and not get sick of it! I’d also be 400 lb though lol4. Chocolate hearts: extremely overpriced, average taste for the white chocolate one. Do not recommend5. Lemon lavender shortbread cookies: they taste like shortbread made by a novice. Not that they’re bad, just barely make the “good” mark. My taste buds are quite good but could barely feel any lemon or lavender. Still a good snack and come in a cute little bow-tied baggie6. Cheese puff: fair price point and good to have a savory treat. It’s a fancy name for a simple pandebono (milk and queso fresco bread)
All of the pastries here are so so tasty. The lady working the counter was very friendly and helped us pick items that we loved. We had the dark chocolate cake, some macaroons, and some truffles. All of the items were delicious and exactly what we were looking for. If you're looking for great chocolate cake, go here. It's so tasty!
The most beautiful cake I ever seen in my life. It tasted fantastic and the bakery team and owner was sooooo nice. ???
This is one of my favorite places to get a delicious gift for the holidays. The chocolate is some of the best I've had, and the employees are very friendly. It can be on the more expensive side, but well worth it for an occasional treat.
Saturday morning croissants, mic drop! The have truly the best bakery goods, plus sweets and tea. Try the almond croissant, then the chocolate and plain croissants. You'll feel like you're back in Southern France again. Plus it's fun saying 'cwasan' to your friends!
I found Edis Chocolates while looking for options for an office event in 2020. We did a custom order of about 50 2 truffle mini boxes with a few of them being vegan. All absolutely wonderful and well-packaged.When I tried all of Edis' truffle flavors I was amazed at how rich and smooth, subtle, yet flavorful they were. Since then I've made it a point to take a few family members there when they visit Austin. My husband and I like to go there just to treat ourselves (like buying some boxes of truffles just for ourselves for Valentine's day!). I have had basically all flavors of truffles, the chocolate mousse, flourless chocolate cake, plain chocolates, and a couple flavors of macarons. All beautifully made and absolutely delicious!
The chocolates here are just ok. Service was good, but was missing a tasting guide. And I have to be critical just because this shop is way on the pricey side compared to what I have gotten from artisanal chocolatiers in Houston and Dallas, even post-COVID inflation. And the designs are a little...rustic and flavors very simple compared to Araya/Cacao & Cardamom/Kate Weiser/etc from the bigger Texas cities while the prices here are 150-200%.... You’d expect the usual experimental ganache like passion fruit or lavender but most of the truffles here taste very similar to each other. And price wise, I get that it's Valentine's Day, but a 12-piece heart box came out over $60 here when you'd expect it to be $40-50 for much more truffle design and exotic flavors. (I would have gotten the regular box for $20 less if there were prices listed anywhere in-store.) Is Austin really that much more expensive, or is it just a question of a lack of local competition? Maybe next time I'll try Delysia in Cedar Park.
CHOCOLATE CAKE!!! ❤️ I had their chocolate cake for Valentines Day this year and I was truly amazed. Not only was it beautiful, but it was perhaps the best chocolate cake I’ve ever had!
