Rose Chocolatier Llc - Los Alamos

This locally owned and operated chocolate shop is so much more than a typical chocolatier. Lemonade Living, a nonprofit that empowers young adults with developmental disabilities, owns and manages the space. They have a delicious assortment of chocolates (including dark chocolate, my favorite! , baked goods coffee, hot chocolate and more. This is a community gem, and a great place to go for a special gift, or custom order!

I usually go there for their drinks, which are always amazing. Their chocolate based drinks are leagues above anywhere else, as are the desserts. Absolutely recommend

Great coffee, Italian sodas, and delicious chocolate cake (which I had almost weekly towards the end of my last pregnancy... : Besides the delicious treats, Rose is a very generous and wonderful person. She let us sell artwork for a fundraiser and our children’s book and took no comission because she liked giving the support. Overall, just a great small town business. And did I mention the hot chocolate was the best EVER?!

I always find myself here for some gluten-free cupcakes or truffles. You have really delicious treats. Besides, if you want something else, they have a variety of Italian soda and hot drinks to buy. And if you ever need a birthday cake, make them order! All about a great shop with great employees and a care owner.

Although they don't allow anyone inside the store, the menu is conveniently posted on the window outside. A staff member comes out to take your order and then goes back inside to prepare it. We ended up purchasing two carrot cake cupcakes and some chocolate-dipped pretzel sticks. The cupcakes were HUGE and delicious! They weren't gourmet, but they were definitely tasty. If I remember correctly, the young lady mentioned that all the workers are individuals with special needs, but I'm not entirely certain about that. Regardless, it's a charming little business, and I'd love to return when I visit Los Alamitos again. I hope that next time the shop will be open so I can browse the items inside!
