  Great hidden place. Glad the wine bar was closed or we would have missed this place. Serve was a very nice guy, very fast and friendly. Prices were reasonable and the drinks were great. They have a full bar, make some great coffee's and I heard the ice cream was good.  Can't wait to go back. The only down side was the Cigars. Even outside, it is just a bit much when lots of people are smoking them.

  This place is a gem.  I've been here several times now and the people are wonderful - very helpful,and attentive. The chocolate truffles are amazing!  Unique flavors and high quality ingredients in every bite. On my last visit I finally had the chance to have a drink in the bar area.  If I wasn't already hooked on the truffles, the martinis  would be enough to ensure I'd be back again.  This is a very small, cozy place - great for visiting with a friend or a couple's night out.  I would not recommend it for a large group.  If you do come in with a group, realize that your voices carry and it can be very difficult for those around you to enjoy their own conversations (based on my personal experience).

  Where to begin about this incredible, unique place?!  I have to admit, I was surprised to find such a lovely find so close to my home.  Unfortunately, I have only been to VBs once, but I have been trying to go back more often (in fact, I just made plans to go again this Saturday!).  The atmosphere is wonderful.  Very intimate, cozy, there's fire pits you can sit around outside, a little bar area - the minute I stepped foot in the place (yes, before I even tasted anything), I knew I was in a version of my little slice of heaven.  Everyone was extremely friendly and helpful and the quality here is perfect.  There really is no other word fit to describe both this place and their products except for unique in the best way imaginable, right down to the water being served in mason jars.  I tried a few pieces of chocolate, coupled with a cherry lavender sorbet - scrumptious!
  
  I would say this place is best suited for those who enjoy quality and being a bit adventurous.  The names and combinations of some of the stuff here may seem a bit strange, but these guys know what they're doing!  Even if you don't want to veer too far off into the extreme, I noticed they sold things like cheese plates and I believe bagels even that are sure to suit your palate.  If you can't get enough or want to share the delicious chocolates, VB also sells gift boxes and (I believe) fun gift baskets for you to take home!

  What a nice surprise in Cottleville!  Nice beer selection, delicious hot chocolate, spiked ice cream, attentive service.  Drinks seem to be their specialty, but there are some food items available.  So many things I wanted to try, I will defiantly be back!

  This place is nice. It's a hipster den. They have a few sandwiches on the menu but their main business is booze, chocolate and coffee. You'll want to eat a meal before you go. Their specialty martini's are good--$9 each. Their truffles are $2.50 each. They were all good, although I had the matcha truffle and was dissapointed. There was barely a spinkling of matcha on the top of a regular chocolate truffle. No matcha filling. Their coffee all has tasting notes. They also have wine and what appears to be a full bar. They do have Coke products and other specialty sodas as well as ice cream.
  
  Their indoor seating is a little crowded.  They have a nice outdoor area with a couple of fire pits. The service was a little bit lacking. Just a little slow and the waitress didn't attend our table very often. But they were very nice. When it came time to pay, there was absolutely no problem spliting up the check. They used an iPad with square and just rang us out at the table individually.
  
  I would go again.
