As a visitor from San Francisco, I was slightly worried that I wouldn't find a good coffee place in Grand Island. This place proved me so wrong, and in fact surpassed my wildest dreams.
The espresso drinks are fantastic--the vanilla bean latte is the best I've ever had--and although I have yet to try the food, it looks great. The maple spice latte sounds good, but the vanilla bean is so good, I haven't bothered trying something new. The atmosphere is also amazing, with ultra-modern sleek but comfortable decor and very chill music.
And after dark, the cocktails are unbelievable. I tried the Cherry Punch first, and it was mindblowing, then I had the Pineapple Upside-Down Cake, which was subtler but just as good. But then, oh then, I had the Tiramisu--best cocktail of my life!
I have no doubt this place could open a location in SF and thrive. In fact, I wish they would!
The Chocolate Bar is one of the best coffee shop experiences I've had in all of Nebraska! Â Lincoln and Omaha should be jealous! Â They have utmost respect for their highest of quality beans without coming off as coffee snobs. Â I have tried several of the drinks and have been so absolutely happy with them all.
I appreciate the staff and their hard work at making it a wonderful experience for every customer. Â They are helpful with recommendations and keep the menu simple with so many great options. Â They are patient, kind and helpful while delivering their food and drink in outstanding quality.
The atmosphere is a breath of class in downtown Grand Island, making it feel like a real treat to go.
I also appreciate the variety of breakfast and lunch options for early day meals, desserts that make any experience extra special and the drink and apps menu for a fun night out!
The Chocolate Bar is an awesome bar/coffee shop/ meeting place. It is a gorgeous, well designed bar that has nothing to do with sports or fried food! Instead they capture a great cozy, modern feeling. It makes you feel like you are no longer in Grand Island, Nebraska but instead downtown Omaha.
This really is a place like none other in Grand Island. They play great music in the background and have a wonderful selection of deserts that are to die for!
I would suggest this to any and everyone looking for a place to meet up with a friend and relax. LOVE THIS BAR!
