On the Grid : Christopher Elbow Artisanal Chocolates

"A native KC son, Christopher Elbow started playing with desserts in fine-dining restaurants before pursuing his chocolate passion. Over a decade and two moves later, his sleek modern chocolate shop evokes a sense of Willy Wonka and stands as an innovative, sweet-tooth magnet. Obsessive on crucial details from ingredients to aesthetics, Elbow’s true talents lie in unforgettable flavor combinations. You could bury me in Rosemary Caramel, among his first flavors, and I could eat my way out." - Brent Anderson

This place is absolutely amazing! Christopher Elbow Chocolates was new to us and wow, what a treat it was! Our dear friends invited us to come along for the Gift of Life fundraiser called Go See Do. One of the locations available was this one. We got a lovely informational tour presented by the head chef. We got to taste single origin chocolate from Madagascar, Ecuador and the Vietnam. Delicious! The tour was fantastic and they even gave us a discount to buy some chocolate to take home. Which we did! I appreciated Christopher Elbow supporting a local worthy charity so graciously and generously. The place is incredibly tidy, and the chocolate is the best I've had in my life! Going forward I will be buying all my client holiday gifts here.

This is absolutely delicious chocolate! The box of eight is amazing. What a treat you are up to when you purchase any of the boxes. My personal favorite is the Lavender cream. Highly recommend this box.

We went on a tour and Ethan was the best. We asked so many questions and he was so patient. The pictures and graphics were well done. Over the years we have purchased so many boxes of chocolate. We rave all over about their chocolates. Thanks for an experience to go with our confections.

Met Chris when he was purchasing his new truck. A co-worker recognized his name and introduced him to me as the Chocolate Man of Kansas City. Although I was unaware of his company beforehand, I am very impressed! He is very kind-hearted, and when I was helping him with his truck purchase, I asked what chocolates he has available or would recommend that I could get my wife for Valentines Day. He recommended a few on his website, and I thought that was the end of it. To my surprise, he actually brought me two boxes of chocolate when we met again at the dealership! These chocolates are definitely the most beautiful chocolates I have ever had. They are so well packaged and beautiful that it makes you not even want to eat them since they look great! Not only do they look great, but they taste amazing as well! These chocolates are amazing and would definitely recommend to anyone who is looking for that special treat for that special person in their life. Thanks again, Chris, for the chocolates, and congrats on your beautiful truck as well!

We took a Cacao experience which is a tour and tasting of Christopher Elbow Chocolates. Really fun learning about chocolate from start to finish!

We participated in the Chocolate Tour which taught us so much about the chocolate process - loved the experience. Our guide was so helpful and informative (sorry, I forgot his name). Getting to taste multiple chocolates from different origin countries was a treat. I've loved your chocolates for years and want to shout out my two favorites - dark chocolate pecan caramels and the Fleur de Sel caramel...absolute heaven.

My mom and I stopped in to peruse the beautiful chocolates; with my many food allergies, I never count on finding many options, but they had plenty for me to chose from. Jasmine made our first visit delightful as she cheerfully looked up each new "Oh, does it have (enter allergen)?" I added. She was simply lovely - and her pride in the product she sold us was clear! The chocolates are gorgeous, but don't miss the pate de fruit - the pear is sublime!

I ordered a 24 piece signature chocolate collection box. $70 + shipping is stiff for a box of chocolates. Was it delicious? Absolutely! I do want to say this shipment was so well-packed and the shipping cost was reasonable. I was impressed at the care they took to get my chocolates to me in good condition. None of the pieces were chipped or cracked. Does this chocolate company get my seal of approval? Yes, it does. Will I order again? Although it will cost me a pretty penny, yes I would order again for special occasions and as gifts for people who are dearest to my heart.

Delicious works of art and not too sweet. Some of my favorites are the dark chocolate turtles, the fleur de sel, the rosemary, strawberry balsamic, lavender, and banana foster bonbons. Staff at this location are great. Their seasonal flavors and designs are also wonderful.

Customer service was amazing and patient! The lady helped me pick our 48 pieces so I could make a double advent calendar. It is always an exciting time to go there. They make great gifts! I got the Black Friday online discount since I mentioned it. So I bought some smaller holiday flavors too.

I came in for the hand crafted gourmet chocolate and was intrigued when they offered the drinking chocolates made with oat milk and fresh whipped cream. Most definitely the BEST hot chocolate I've ever tasted in my life. It was so good I had to double back to buy a canister so I could enjoy this goodness at home! I love the fact that it is crafted from pure dark chocolate and blended with Tahitian vanilla bean. A packet of Swiss miss could never! I wish there was a franchise in Kansas, but I am happy Missouri isn't too far away. Special thank you to the girl who helped me pick out the perfect gift and use my reward the same day. I love companies that offer rewards for the money spent and I can't wait to come back and try the homemade marshmallows!

Christopher Elbow is one of THE iconic names in KC. I can't think of a more special gift than giving someone a box of Christopher Elbow chocolates. They are beautiful, unique, and delicious. It's fun to gawk at them from the other side of the glass. They also have seasonal candies, drinking chocolate powder, chocolate covered nuts, and chocolate bars! It's expensive - I'll give you that - but the whimsy is worth it. The reason to go to the store in Crossroads is to get drinking chocolate! It is luxurious, rich, and creamy - so much more decadent than a regular hot chocolate. They have delicious flavors. I recently tried the spiced dark chocolate, and it is SPICY! So warming. Getting a drinking chocolate was a KC bucket list item for me and my girlfriend for so long. One of the best times to come is on first Friday right at 4 pm because they often have deals where you can get individual chocolates for $1. It is crazy in there, and if you get there even an hour late, all the chocolates will be sold out. Get there early and reap the benefits!

All I can say is OMG!!! These chocolates are incredible. Definitely not cheap but every chocolate is a unique taste explosion in your mouth. Everything from the presentation to the information sheet inside which explains the different flavors of each chocolate to the professional finish of each piece of chocolate is mind blowing. Chocolateering is a science and an art all In one. Each chocolate melts in your mouth and exposes the flavor bit by bit as it melts. I can't wait for my next box!!!

I'm not a huge chocolate lover but I could eat Christopher Elbow chocolates all the time. Unfortunately, Christopher Elbow only has stores in Kansas City and San Francisco. I've never seen these chocolates sold where I'm from. I stopped by the Kansas City store and tried a variety of their chocolates on display and purchased a box of Peanut Butter Cups. Christopher Elbow chocolates are expensive but so delectable and worth the treat for oneself or loved ones during the holidays or special occasions. I made sure to savor every morsel. I will be sure to stop by again the next time I'm in Kansas City.

Delicious chocolates. Artisanal and expensive but worth it to sample occasionally. Couldn't tell the single origin ganache apart because they all had the same chocolate shell covering. Bummer but delicious anyway. Rosemary chocolate had rosemary infused caramel inside. Yum!

Had a white elephant exchange and thought this was the perfect gift to bring! I've only heard of this place that was highly recommended by friends and I do see why. When you walk in the shop, it's a small very cute boutique chocolate shop with a beautiful assortment of chocolates in so many different flavors! I ended up picking the 8 piece assorted chocolate box that cost around $26ish. The staff assisting me was extremely helpful in picking out the best flavors and was very attentive. I was in and out of the shop in 5 min which made it really convenient (considering this gift was very last minute lol). Would totally recommend this to anyone looking for gifts for the Christmas time / significant other / or birthday gift!!! Definitely meant for a special occasion or if you ever wanna treat yourself.

I visited this cute, classy, chocolate heaven while I was exploring Kansas City. The chocolates are tiny pieces of art. Seeing them in the display when you walk in is a feast for the eyes. The worst part is trying to pick out which ones to buy. The flavor combinations are amazing. I bought an 8 piece box. I wound up buying a couple of extra pieces ($2 ea) and a dark chocolate peanut butter square. I believe it was $4. The size of this square is 2-3 pieces of the small chocolates. I also want to note if you love coffee, you should purchase one of their decadent espressos. They use their chocolate and then add in the espresso. They aren't very big and they are $6, but just soooo delicious if you like chocolate and espresso. Not only are the chocolates exquisite, but I got lucky and Cecelia was working the morning I visited. My partner stayed out in front of the shop walking our dog so I could go in and when Cecelia saw them out there, she walked out with a big bowl of water for my dog. She also spent time talking with me about the chocolates. After I picked the Earl Grey and a chai, she said we probably enjoyed some of the same flavor profiles and recommended some more even giving me one piece to taste because she thought I would like it. She wasn't wrong! The Yuzu Mandarin is exquisite. I wound up with the Passion Fruit, another Yuzu Mandarin, a Rosemary, Fresh Lemon, Lavender, Fluer de sel, and Pistachio Cherry. She made sure I had a menu that describes each chocolate so I could remember as I try them. They also ship! I believe they only have locations in Kansas City and San Francisco. After getting my chocolates together, making my espressos, and ringing me up, Cecilia asked if she could walk me out and meet my dog. She told us more about Kansas City since she had moved there 20 years earlier. The city has changed a lot but they still love it and it was the best move they ever made. She is a great ambassador for KC! She also loves animals and has rescue rabbits. My dog is very shy but let Cecilia pet her. She knows a good person when she meets them. As we were getting ready to leave, Cecilia said her Monday had started off frustrating and she thanked me for coming in because I had made her day much better! What a kind thing to say to a customer. She had made my trip to Christopher Elbow Chocolates special and joyful. I'll remember Cecilia long after the chocolates are gone, so I hope the company knows how much their employees brighten the experience of their customers. I am now eating my chocolates slowly because they are so pretty to look at and scrumptious! I'll miss them when they are gone! Maybe I'll call up Cecilia to place a mail order soon!

Have you ever looked at chocolate and thought it was almost TOO beautiful to eat? If you have...then it must have been a sweet chocolate treat from Christopher Elbow Chocolates. My chocolate choices: Fleur De Sel (buttery caramel infused with gray french sea salt), Fresh Lemon (lemon marmalade and lemon infused white chocolate ganache), Champagne (milk chocolate ganache infused with French champagne & coated in dark chocolate with a dusting of powdered sugar. Each of the chocolates are shiny & beautifully crafted. You can purchase individual chocolates and sets. Visit Christopher Elbow Chocolates in the Crossroads area of KC today!

I didn't know this place existed. So happy to come upon it! They have the most BEAUTIFUL chocolates, and such an interesting variety of flavors. The staff member assisting me was so kind and helpful. I was pleased to see they had some sale prices on St. Patty's Day boxes, and I also purchased a lovely package for a birthday gift. I will definitely be back. In fact, probably soon for some Easter gifts. Do check it out!

A surprising location, but with easily accessible parking-pretty hidden unless you are heading there on a mapped-out journey. The vibes are definitely clean, and modern- sterile even. The gorgeous colors of the chocolates make up for it. Carefully displayed, the flavors make you want to say " one of each, please"! I have worked my way through them, and am happy to say that I believe I have tried 90% of what they have available. All have been unbelievable. Highlights: Lemon, fleur de sel, lavender caramel Their drinking chocolate is at the perfect temp for sipping, and when topped with their marshmallows!?- perfection.

Wow, these chocolates are such a treat! I was first introduced to the brand when my brother in law sent us a beautiful box of chocolates and enjoyed it so much I made sure we stopped here on a recent KC BBQ trip. Will be back next time we are in KC and will keep Christopher Elbow in mind for gifts!

I would love to know if they have amazing hot chocolate but was denied service because they were cleaning up. Arrived at 5:53, they close at 6. I worked in coffee and closing down the steamer early is a gamble and customers sometimes come in close to close. It does suck, but it's a minor inconvenience. In fact, it's your job. Was really looking forward to an artisan hot chocolate with my kids to go look at Christmas Lights.

Best chocolate you'll have. We've purchased Elbow chocolates before but never from their actual storefront. The staff were warm, inviting, and helpful. The options were overwhelming but we chose a box of six and two of the premade winter boxes. Their chocolate covered almonds are to die for. Definitely come here for a stop if you're in the area, it's so worth it!

We had a sweet tooth so decided to stop by this place. It is exactly what the title says: artisanal chocolates. They clearly are made with a lot of effort as each piece is intricately decorated. They have about ~15 different flavors and we chose 4 of them: caramel pecan, fleur de les, lemon and macademia praline. We really enjoyed all of them except the lemon one which was a bit too strong in flavor. The fleur de les is the most popular for a reason, it was delicious! The price is a bit steep at $2.50 but as I mentioned, they are made with a lot of detail.

I wanted to stop here because this is the home location to the boutique that I frequent in San Francisco. They make the most beautiful and approachable chocolates that I have experienced. The fact of the matter is I don't fancy chocolate so it must be something to it if I'm writing about it.

My husband and I were looking forward to try Elbow chocolates for a while now and what better time to enjoy them than on an intimate weekend indoors celebrating Valentine's and our 5th wedding Anniversary? The entire experience of contacting them on facebook messenger for some information to filling up a form for the curbside pickup was pretty smooth though we ended up taking a masked tour of their beautiful boutique shop and decided to give up on our curbside pickup privileges. We ordered a box of 36 chocolates, a small Valentine's box and a creme brulee bar. We also purchased a can of their hot chocolate while picking up our order. It was an expensive purchase with a cool 14% valentine's day off and one that I will definitely be tempted to make again but only for a select flavors because not all of them were for us. The aztec spice was my least favorite but their raspberry caramel is to die for. The Lavender filled one had a lot of lavender to my taste but the lemon filled one was so perfect that I'm craving for one right now! We divided each piece of art (yes, these chocolates= art!) into 2 and had a taste test of all the pieces and decided on which ones we'd go for in the future. Their creme brulee bar blew our minds! It's the most decadent chocolate you'll have tasted in your entire life! Those shards of caramelized sugar taste fantastic on a bed of fine white chocolate. Don't be surprised if you find 10 of those lying around in my secret chocolate cupboard! Christopher Elbow chocolates are fine pieces of art and the outer coating of chocolate that encases the caramel and other flavors within is beautifully crafted thin. You won't bite into a huge chunk of chocolate and miss the flavors because they are gourmet in every sense and they look like brilliant artsy marbles. I cannot wait to go back for my favorites and try some new flavors too! If you have a special occasion coming, this would be the perfect place to get some gourmet chocolates!

Went in here for a girls day with about 15 girls and we were very rudely treated. We got here at 4:30 and we're told we needed to hurry and order and to not stay in the eating area too long because they wanted to start their deep cleaning.... AT 4:30!!!!! They close at 6. Served us cold hot chocolate and was mad when we told them it was cold. The lady kept saying ugh not on a Saturday afternoon when we are just wiped, making a huge deal we were here to BUY chocolates... and honestly I'd rather have a bag of m&ms. Too expensive to be treated like that. Won't be coming back. Jasmine really tried to make up for the way we were treated though so that was nice and thank you jasmine!!

Walk in and you feel instantly transported to the tranquil land of divine chocolates. The lady behind the counter was so incredibly kind and friendly. Helped answer my questions on their chocolates and I was able to pick out ~7 pieces to try out. There are SO many flavors to choose from and the flavors are really spot on. This is also a great place to get a sweet gift for anyone!

Decadence. That's The only word to use! A stop at this flagship brings 3 joys: 1. A very robust collection of Elbow's artfully crafted chocolates and sweets 2. DRINKING chocolate. Oh my... You should eat a salad beforehand and might want to plan to walk around a bit afterwards, but this is like drinking from Wonka's chocolate river... Only warm and comforting! 3. A sneak peek at how is all made! The shop has a glass viewing wall back into the factory/workshop and it's fun to see the bustle bring forth beautiful and delicious chocolate. Tip: My favorite drinking chocolate is the peanut butter version, but whatever you choose, don't skip the house made marshmallows!

Amazing place with chocolates! Beautiful art and chocolate is combine together?! Sometimes I think the chocolates are too pretty to eat, but once I bite into one, it's so tasty and rich in flavors. There's plenty of different flavors and staff are really friendly and really helpful to pick out the chocolates in your favor. I like coming here for First Fridays, it gives me a chance to check out the chocolates that I haven't taste or get my favorites (like the passion fruit). This is a great place to give a love one or friend who like chocolates.

Lovely chocolate shop. It has a modern European/ German vibe. I ended up picking mostly Carmel and I didn't even know it. My favorites were the lavender and the champagne. They also have an option where you can buy a slew of chocolate to drink. It's not like hot chocolate, it's like a glass of liquid chocolate. It can get you where you want to be. I'd go back for sure. If you buy this chocolate for someone. It's like giving them a unicorn. Love

Christopher Elbow Artisanal Chocolates is a beautiful chocolatier in the greater downtown area of Kansas City. Their bonbons are truly works of art. The chocolates have the perfect, shiny sheen with artistic designs on them. Flavors include vanilla bean, chai caramel, citrus Carmel, pistachio cherry, Irish coffee, and a host of others. You can customize 2, 4, 8, or greater size boxes or just get a single piece. They also offer chocolate bars and sipping chocolate. Their prices are what you would expect of a quality chocolate shop--so don't expect drugstore or chain chocolate prices. However the bonbons are delicious and the staff is knowledgeable and incredibly friendly.

This is a cute and quaint chocolate shop. The chocolates are delicious and so very pretty. The single pieces remind me of the colorful selection from Matilda(no judgment). If you come on first Friday the chocolates are $1 each, so stock up!!! I enjoyed the lemon, lavender, and a few others. I wasn't a big fan of the Rosemary option. Check out my photo to see what I got. I basically loved them all!

As with many other famed chocolate boutiques, you're paying for the whole package at Christopher Elbow. The chocolates are not only delicious but also gorgeous, packaged in a pretty box to keep them that way. I like that the box has individual slots for each chocolate; I brought my goodies back to Maine and the pieces didn't move around and become a mess. I also really like the glossy look of the bonbons. It bothers me a lot when I get chocolates with cavities after paying a premium price because it shows poor attention to detail. It was a delight that Christopher Elbow's chocolates were visual perfection. I got an assortment of flavors: caramel apple, rosemary caramel, lavender caramel, fleur de sel caramel, butterscotch bourbon, maple bourbon, whiskey pecan, raspberry pate de fruit in dark chocolate with bergamot ganache, and banana foster. None stood out more than others; all of them were good. The hot chocolates were also worth trying. I got mine with marshmallows on top, and it was delightful for a cold spring day. Christopher Elbow was one of the reasons I fell in love with KCMO during my brief visit. I definitely would make it a point to stop by if I ever get a chance to visit the city again.

I wish they had one closer and served the ice cream they make at Glace---a girl can dream :) My mom is always tasked with picking up chocolates for people back in Michigan from Christopher Elbow because people love them so much.

These chocolates make the perfect gift for anyone: - wife: BAM your forgiven - girlfriend: POOF instant engagement - boyfriend: WHAM amazing make-out session - friend: ZAP you just got yourself invited to that thing you love - yourself: ZING you just became a more refined and cultured human being. Congratulations. You see what I mean? It's perfect and foolproof, and you'll be perfect if you show up with some of these chocolates.

Chocolates are pretty good, but the real beauty is the drinking chocolate. In the recent freezing temperatures, I made it with milk in a saucepan. Delicious. Wasn't very hygienic though. Found staff scratching their hair and then touching food.

The chocolates here are a work of art. They are beautifully crafted with each piece colorful and graceful. Pair it with a simple yet elegant white box and brown ribbon to make it the perfect gift. For certain holidays though, the boxes can come in other colors. Aesthetics aside, the chocolates are delicious. The truffles are made of a ganache or caramel covered by a thin layer of chocolate. It blends together so well with the chocolate, and the whole piece just melts in your mouth. It is definitely not the traditional caramel that is chewy and sticks to your teeth. The flavors rotate seasonally so there is always something new to try. There are the standard chocolate, fruit, or alcohol flavors and some really exotic ones like yuzu or strawberry balsamic. The flavors you like are really a matter of your taste preference. Personally, I enjoy the lavender caramel and the dark chocolate flavors the most, but I have also enjoyed every flavor that I have tried. I do not care too much for the pate de fruit though. I find that to be a bit too sweet for me, and I would choose chocolate over any candy at any time anyways. Candies aside, the drinking chocolate is amazing. The rich dark chocolate flavor does not get masked by the milk so it literally is drinking a cup of liquid chocolate. Be prepared to empty your wallet though. The chocolates are $2-$3 a piece depending on how many you buy, and the drinking chocolate is a little cup that comes out to about $5. The treats are pricey but worth the splurge. However, after 5 P.M. on First Fridays, the chocolate and pate de fruit pieces are discounted to $1 a piece. Expect a long line during the sale. The only catch is that the pretty boxes are not available then. You quickly pick your pieces and get them in a paper bag, or you can bring your own container for the chocolates. Regardless of how much you spend here, what is a better way to treat yourself then with a delicious sweet treat?

Love the chocolate options & service. I can see where it can get crowded because the shop is tiny & so difficult to choose flavors from the many options. Disappointed that it was so hot so we decided not to try the hot drinks. Will definitely come back when it's cooler & to purchase more delicious, silky chocolates! Btw, the malted balls were very yummy!

Always a wow trying to select these beautiful chocolates, I dragged Eric R. here as my first stop in KC this past weekend upon hearing that yuzu is a seasonal flavor. Ordering online does not allow me to select flavors. Rather than chance an order to get a random assortment, I had to come here myself! I even stopped at Dean and Deluca yesterday and yuzu was not there. We got in a growing line Saturday morning just after opening time. Eric R. and I agreed that getting chocolates for our mothers would be a great gift (his parents' anniversary is this week and my mom's birthday is next week). We are able to hand deliver our gifts to them so this would be perfect...they both love chocolate! While I was there, I certainly had to get myself a box! I opted to get three 9-piece boxes. The artisan behind the counter dragged my three boxes down as I selected different flavors for each box based on what we thought our moms would like and then I got what I wanted. I think I could have gotten myself a 16-piece box! I ended up getting two additional yuzu chocolates for myself in a bag besides the one in my box. I considered some flavors that Eric R. might like in my box, and a few for my dad in my mom's box. Eric R. also ordered a peppermint "liquid chocolate" drink to try. He drank his warm drink in the seating area while I nibbled on a yuzu chocolate. entering a heavenly bliss that can only be equivalent to when I stayed at a ryokan called Yuzuya in Kyoto (yes, there are places for crazy people like me to stay on vacation that are all about one fruit). I cannot wait to share the chocolate love and return here for more chocolates. There is a holiday flavor sampler that looked so good but those flavors were not for sale individually (like gingerbread) so I skipped that for now. There is always next time!

The chocolates are beautiful truly but equally importantly have brilliant flavors and textures. These are pricey but worth it. Great for a gift or treat yourself moment. Standout flavors for me were brown butter bourbon, fleur de sel, and Venezuelan spice. Even though we were buying for ourselves, our purchases were gift packaged. We made a custom box that was gone within 2 days and my spouse doesn't even like chocolate so that speaks to the quality and delectablility. The person who assisted us was warm and had a nice demeanor. Street parking only. Interior is modern and petite- chocolates are displayed nicely so you can peruse the flavors. They also had chocolate bars and some fruit gelatin like sweet that was also delicious for the non chocolate lovers. I am buying some of these to ship to myself since I'm no longer in the area, so I definitely love this place.

I stopped in a few months ago for some fancy chocolate because I work down the street from this place and always passing it coming to and leaving the office. A little pricey, but for the exotic flavor's they offer, well worth the trip. I'll keep them in mind on my next special occasion.

This shop looks like a gallery. Each piece is like a new painting. They are so delicious and beautifully designed. If you want to test your pallet go for more fruit flavored ones as they taste extremely fresh! Also, the staff here is so kind! And how could they not be, they have an amazing job.

Fantastic place. The ladies working were super nice and accommodating. Hey explained different things to us and let us take our time picking everything out. The chocolates were absolutely amazing. Pistachio Bergamot and Strawberry Balsamic were my two favorites. But, all of the chocolates were delicious. It's a neat little modern atmosphere to hangout in if you want to relax as well.
