Milla Chocolates

Went here twice, never disappointed. The chocolates are amazing - although I do not recommend the fruit ones - they are just not what I like. So far the coffee and nuts ones are my favorite. I also liked their display of products, so artistic, love the atmosphere.

My 5 stars here goes to the shop design and chocolate drink. I have tried their chocolate Dragees and bars previously using the online store and I am not a big fan for the chocolate, but the package and design is really awesome. The service was good, and I tried the iced black sesame which was a both thick and delicious.

They have great chocolate here, albeit a bit pricey. I’m giving them a 4 instead of 5 because the flat white I ordered was the worst flat white I’ve had in my life. So if you’re coming just for the chocolate, you’re in good hands, and on that note, their mocha is great. But if you’re a coffee lover, get your coffee somewhere else. Also had the cold brew and thought it was ok. But to be clear, chocolate is 5/5!

Exquisite handcrafted chocolates. Delicious hot chocolate made of melted chocolate. Very good customer service. Friendly, knowledgeable, professional.

Stopped by during ciclavia because I love chocolate and it caught my eye. So glad I did! The place itself is a minimalist masterpiece of design. The chocolate is possibly the best I've ever had. The service was super friendly and welcoming. I should also add that the espresso was absolutely perfect. I loved that they had some Salvi coffee too! I believe it is fair to pay what something is worth and, if you really think about it, everything in here is fairly priced given how high quality it is. If you're looking to treat yourself, or others, this is the spot!

I was given an exquisite gift from a dear friend for Easter and the chocolate was absolutely delicious and packaged like fine European cuisine that I haven’t seen since I was in Paris not only was the delivery prompt but it was kept at the appropriate temperature. I only gave four stars for atmosphere because I have not been to the location personally but I plan to do so as soon as I am in the area. 5 stars! A+ from a clinically diagnosed chocoholic aka moi 🤎

This place is like the jewelry shop of fine chocolates. The store itself is amazing. The best boutique chocolate shop in the country. Check out the custom espresso machine. The store and chocolates are a work of art. Kudos to the interior designer and the chocolatier.

This is the fastest I’ve ever wanted to write a review. We got the hot and iced hot chocolate. The iced hot chocolate is probably for some people but we did not particularly like it. But the hot chocolate is probably THE BEST hot chocolate I’ve ever had. Do not miss it!!!!!

My husband searched far and wide for high quality chocolates here in LA and so far, this is the best chocolatier we've encountered in LA. Why is there so few options?? Seriously! Now, each time we travel to NYC or internationally, I'm buying boxes of quality chocolate. I wish Milla were closer. If so I would buy there more often.

CHOCOLATE EROTICA!! I have heard stories of chocolate being an aphrodisiac - been around for many years and never had an, " otherworldly experience," till today!! OMG. What just happened? LOL. Took a bite: chocolate taste, a creamy, bittersweet orangy taste - I'm drooling, my head swirls, ( what In the world!). Heaven on earth ! Over the years I have commented, posted, opinionated, etc. Never, have I EVER tasted chocolate, with this combo, to taste this way. I've had SwissChoco, Italian, Mexican; this, MILLA, is the, "shuzzz." ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS!! I fell upon MILLA - was driving the street, not freeway. Passed this blk bldg, took a snapshot, hoping it was legible. It was. Returned to CC, parking was a challenge, entered store, made purchases but did not open my boxes for two weeks! LADIES AND GENTS!! Milla is INCREDIBLE! Best find for 2024 - find it, buy, sit, taste - OoooooLaLa. MILLA ROCKS! So happy to leave this comment. All the best to MILLA CHOCOLATE.

Good quality dark chocolate with an exorbitant price tag. I rate the chocolate 4 stars and the price 1 star. I'm a devotee of artisanal chocolates and regularly consume Norman Love Confections (Fort Meyers, FL), Marie Belle (New York City), John & Kira's (Philadelphia, PA), Christopher Elbow (Kansas City, MO), Woodhouse (Napa, CA), Moonstruck (Portland, OR), Mary's Chocolate (Japan), Vosges (Chicago, IL), Neuhaus (Belgium), Pierre Marcolini (Belgium), and many, many more. Milla chocolate is good quality; I give it a solid "B" grade compared to so many other fine chocolatiers I've consumed across the U.S.A and Europe. Most artisanal chocolates are in the $2.00 - $3.00 per piece before shipping. Milla Chocolates is nearly double in price: a 9-piece assorted box is $41.00 and a bar is $20.00. That does not include the cost of shipping - luckily I live close enough to buy these in person. Bottom Line: Milla's prices are absurd for the quality and quantity. This is my first and last purchase unless they cut their prices in half. There are many other fine chocolatiers who produce the same or even better quality chocolate at close to half Milla's prices (even when shipping is factored in).

These chocolates are absolutely delicious! Unique flavors that are not too sweet. Very delicate, small bites that are high end

I have a huge sweet tooth, especially for chocolate. Even better if it's high-quality chocolate. I swear by generic Godiva chocolates, but every now and then I come across a boutique chocolatier that just blows my mind. Milla Chocolates is no exception. My partner gifted me a box of six for Valentine's Day (so I didn't pay and have no idea how much they cost, haha), and I loved how elegant the packaging was-- all black, minimalistic, but classy. I tried them all in one sitting, and man was I in heaven: besides being really good, 55-60% cacao chocolates, they also came in unique flavors. My ranking: 6) Champagne: could not taste the champagne whatsoever. A disappointment. 5) Raspberry: sweet and fruity, but not a standout: I've had similar chocolates with Godiva before. 4) Hazelnut: rich and nutty, with a bit of grittiness from the unprocessed hazelnut bits (which I love). But again, not a standout as I've had similar with Godiva. 3) Earl grey: one of the most-unique flavors and absolutely delicious. Intense black, floral tea flavor, its bitterness meshing perfectly with the sweet chocolate. A must-get for anyone. 2) Cardamom: another unique flavor-- deep, earthy, and spiced, it was like eating something chai-flavored. Also a must-get! 1) Passionfruit: WOW! Absolutely bursting with fruitiness, growing and growing the more it melts on your tongue. My favorite of them all. Will definitely be back for more Milla chocolates-- I've heard they have yuzu flavor, and I'm hitting that next!

We came in to kill some time before our museum visit across the street. They sell Parisian chocolates and coffee drinks here. We had espresso and cold brew, both were tasty. I tried two chocolate bon bon in yuzu and passion fruit flavors. The chocolates were so delicious but tiny. I wanted to get assorted box and blocks cause they looked so yummy. But we had a long day ahead of us so the chocolates would have belted. The service was very friendly and prices were not bad. We would stop by again whenever we are in this area!

I was lucky enough to be sent delicious chocolates from the Easter bunny herself from this divine boutique. They were delivered with Care in a temperature controlled box which is very important obviously if you are sending anything edible or anything that will expire. The dark chocolate was exceptional and transported me back to Paris. I thought that nothing compared to Maison de Chocolate but Milla is definitely competition for that established Parisian brand. I highly recommend their delivery service and look forward to visiting the shop in person I am a clinically diagnosed chocoholic and I give this shop an A+ five stars.

Beautiful store front. Next to a food truck too! Their chocolates are presented beautifully, tons of variety, and the staff are so friendly! I got a gift box and they wrapped it up so beautifully. This place is perfect for gifts and so close to DT Culver. They have some street parking but most days may be difficult. Free parking next door on Sundays.

Gorgeous designs, refined beautiful flavors. So rich and interesting flavors like black sesame caramels for Chinese new year.

My mom recommended their chocolates so I came with a friend to try them out, also picked up a matcha latte which I regret Chocolates - 5/5 - I really liked the quality of the chocolates and felt that all the flavors really shined through - The lady who helped us recommended the Passionfruit and props to her! Definitely my favorite! - My friend's recommendation is the pistachio flavor - I recommend the yuzu and caramel flavors Matcha Latte - 0/5 - I almost cried when I had my first sip bc I essentially paid $6 for green milk, there was no matcha flavor - Whole milk is a plus i guess - This isn't a matcha shop so I shouldn't have expected a lot, but since the shop looked so nice and high end I hoped for at least an average matcha latte - I asked the lady beforehand what type of matcha powder they use and if it was ceremonial grade matcha, she wasn't sure of either answer and I felt bad for confusing her but also frustrated that the info wasn't clear Service - 4/5 - The lady was so nice and friendly! - I asked for a knife to cut the chocolates and she gave me napkins, a bit of miscommunication but has the right energy - I felt that she really took time to make the packaging and chocolate box pretty and really appreciate the effort

Delivered! The Hazelnut Praliné Bar with Turkish Coffee was a stand-out. The gift box was huge.

Classy and quiet coffee/chocolate shop. The interior is simple and minimalistic however, the way they advertise and organize their products brings elegance to the environment. The service was great and the barista took time and care in making coffee. We got the cafe mocha. It was well made. It was rich and creamy, making me want to come back and buy their chocolates. I would 100% recommend this place.

Chocolates here are DELICIOUS, but like wayyyyyyyy overpriced. Also the ice hot chocolate was really good but it took maybe 20 minutes to get it so maybe not worth the wait. Lastly, I would encourage them to make more gifting box/size options. Currently there are so few options that it makes it hard to find the right gift for the right price point. Overall I'd say this is a good spot for a gift if you're looking for something on the pricier side. Stay Cheerful ;)

Small selection but everything is well done and executed to a high polish. The Black Sesame Iced Chocolate was a dense mix of sesame, almond milk, and chocolate. Would have loved it more if it were creamier. The standout was their Black Sesame Double Chocolate Cookie. It was chewy and chocolate-y and punctuated by the savoriness of sesame seeds. Friendly staff. Will have to try the gem-like chocolates next.

The hot chocolate is amazing if you're a chocolate lover it's literally pure melted chocolate.

Iced dark drinking chocolate!!!!! With or without black sesame- SO DELICIOUS!! They also have exquisite bars some w praline in it as well as a variety of truffles. A hidden gem in Culver City.

Best chocolate store in LA. Everything here is mindblowing, from the chocolate bars to the truffles and finally the store design. I got my mom the Tahini chocolate bar and she absolutely loved it. It was the kind of bar that she ate one square a day from because it was so satisfying to the palate that she didn't need to eat the whole thing in one sitting. I got a small box of 6 chocolate truffles and they were amazing. The champagne one was especially delicious. You can't go wrong with any of these. They are a delight for the eye as well, with their fascinating geometric shapes. I definitely will come back here to get gifts and treat myself! And try their coffee too.

The place has a very limited collection of chocolates , for being a chocolate only store . It's overpriced for the portion size of chocolate they sell . Advise not to waste your time & money here unless they really work in a good collection of chocolates .

This is my go to place I buy an easy but great gift for my friends and myself! Everything is delicious and the people are so helpful and kind. I can't forget to mention the nice interior and packaging as well. This place is just on point. Go there to make your day!

Marvelous. Beautiful packaging which makes for great gifts. Love the dark chocolate covered hazelnuts, passion fruit bonbon, and raspberry almonds. Excellent gifts for men.

Decadent chocolate with incredible flavors! I have finally found my favorite local chocolate shop in West LA! Although their chocolate bars are pricey, they are 100% worth the price!

Chocolate and coffee. What a delightful experience. Everything in here is so elegant and their chocolate is crafted with detail and care. In the front there is a nice display of ready to sell products and the chocolate case where you can sample and choose. The back is the kitchen where they make the chocolates there. They offered samples and the barista was very attentive. I had the coffee and bonbons for ~$9. You get your pick of any of the coffee items (I got cappuccino - it was very good, not bitter at all) and two bonbons (black sesame caramel and smoky scotch). The selections are very unique and I appreciated the subtle complexity of the flavors with the chocolate! Would definitely come back again. Only thing I wish they had is a couple of chairs or stools. The interior is small, so I understand they don't have much space for people to hang out there all day. It would have been much more enjoyable experience to savor my coffee and chocolates sitting down rather than standing at the counter.

Amazing rich delicious authentic Turkish coffee! The chocolates are fantastic! Will definitely be back

Milla Chocolates are a work of art and taste as good as they look. Shopping at the store is an elegant experience like visiting a gallery for chocolate. I have purchased boxes of chocolate to celebrate special occasions and to give as gifts.

Expensive yes but absolutely excellent and worth the money: a truly gifted chocolatier.

Sat, 5/22/2021 4 1/2 Stars Milla Chocolates x Gregory Doyen Collaboration. This was an exclusive collab and had to be ordered via Milla Chocolates website. I have been following Chef Doyen for a few months now on IG and was super excited for this exclusive collaboration! Ordered: 3 Yuzu Tarts with 6 Piece Bon Bon Box YUZU TART First thing I remember was the fluffy marshmallow! This was absolutely pillowy lovely and dreamy. I would have loved to have eaten them separately. Then the next layer is the light refreshing taste of yuzu. It was a beautiful yuzu cream. I could have just had that and the marshmallow and call it a day! The center was this citrus bomb that bursts in your mouth! A citrus lemony coulis which was a very sharp citrus lemony tangy bomb that bursts in your mouth. Then layer beneath this citrus bomb was a yuzu custard - now that is where it got slightly unsettling. The yuzu custard had a strong eggy smell and flavor. Also it was very very sweet, which overpowered the whole yuzu tart. When you take the full bite of all the layers together, it tastes eggy because of that one layer of yuzu custard. How unfortunate! Because I tasted all of the tart elements separately and everything else was done so well! The yuzu custard was what ruined my experience of this beautifully crafted yuzu tart! Mind you, these were costly purchases, so if I'm disappointed about this whole yuzu tart experience, then I will say it. :) Below the yuzu custard was a hazelnut layer. It was a sweet grainy texture of ground up hazelnuts. Not sure what else was in it, it tasted a bit like nutty shortbread, but with hazelnut flavor. Then the bottom was the golden crust of the tart. It was still crunchy inspite of all these elements in one small tart shell. They packaged it well in a black box with GD labeled on it. The box was wide enough and high enough to protect the yuzu tarts from being smushed. It held up well in the car ride. Overall, I'm happy I got the chance to try this dessert! YUZU CHOCOLATE BON BONS Lightly crisppy hazelnut praline on the bottom, middle layer of the yuzu ganache filling enrobed in dark chocolate. Beautifully balanced flavors of yuzu and chocolate. One flavor did not overpower the other. There was no power struggle here, although yuzu was the star. Thanks Milla Chocolates and Chef Doyen for bringing this collab to us! Hope to see more collabs in the future! HAZELNUT PRALINÉ BAR WITH TURKISH COFFEE Delicious! This is Milla's signature hazelnut praline, so if you've tried any of their other praline-filled chocolates, this is exactly that. Sooo good! The coffee and dark chocolate was not overpowering and well balanced. CANDIED BLOOD ORANGE BAR I really wanted to get the Chocolate Covered Orange Chips, but it is always always sold out! So I got the candied blood orange bar. It was good. Dark chocolate with blood orange chips were tasty, however this was a thicker chocolate bar, but it's probably not the same as eating a blood orange chip dipped in chocolate.

So. Freaking. Good. The ultimate move is to get a cold brew (and 2 bonbons) here while you wait for your breakfast burrito next door at Cervateca. The cold brew is strong and chocolatey on its own, but paired with 2 of their artisan bonbons (such a great deal!) ooooooo, the coffee goes to the next level. You might be saying "okay, it's chocolate...what's the big deal?" Milla is the big deal! Just try the sesame caramel or the hazelnut praline chocolate bar, you'll see. You'll taste the care and craft. Creamy and dreamy and unique flavor combos and textures. The chocolate bars and the assorted bonbons are great little gifts for someone (and yourself) when you don't know what to get. Everything is delicious and totally worth the price

AMAZING!!!! The BEST CHOCOLATE I've had in my entire life!!!! So happy I discovered this place as I was just passing by. The pistachio bonbon and the black sesame chocolate bar I tasted were just AMAZING. The chocolate bar was very impressive as it wasn't just a 'hint' of black sesame, but full of rich black sesame creme.. which melted my mouth... Live 40 miles away but will come often to get more. The staff who helped me was very friendly also, and loved the interior, gift box/bag designs and everything. Great for gifts! Thank you!!!!

Gorgeous shop with beautiful displays of chocolate and coffee. But more importantly absolutely delicious chocolates and coffee! I've often walked or driven past the shop but must have missed opening hours (9-6 daily) Today I excitedly saw chairs and a sign outside and the owner lured us in with a wave. I was a bit intimidated because of how luxurious the shop looked but the prices were very fair, especially given the outstanding quality. We shared: Black sesame ice hot chocolate $6.50 Americano + 2 chocolates (chocolate and coffee pairing) $9.50 The sesame drink is a absolute must have. Worth every penny. For the unfamiliar, black sesame paste is often used in Asian desserts and has a mild earthy peanut buttery taste with a little more bitterness (kind of like matcha's slight bitterness). The combination of sesame and chocolate resulted in a perfectly smooth and creamy yet refreshing drink that was not too sweet! The americano was very smooth, no sourness or bitterness. I think they just have used good beans. The espresso machine looked very fancy as well, maybe that was it? An americano is $3.50 without the chocolate pairing and I think worth it given how smooth and fresh tasting it was. On to the chocolates! We tried cardamom and pistachio praline, which the employee said were two of his favorites. Cardamom had a silky sumptuous filling. I liked it a lot and would choose it again! Pistachio praline was rich with a mild natural pistachio flavor. Would have liked something a bit stronger tasting (but I had just woken up with a hangover so maybe that was my problem). The employees gave us a sample of hazelnut praline which was very good and has a hint of crunch to offset the creaminess. I'd choose that one over pistachio. I can't wait to come back and bring my family!

I stumbled upon Milla in their infancy on Instagram, instantly adored their luxe, but minimalist aesthetic, and have been following them ever since. I had no intention of going to LA any time soon, so it was a great surprise, and one of my first planned places to visit, once I nailed dates down for my trip a few weeks back They open at 8am, and as a dedicated chocoholic, I am thrilled that Milla understands and respect one's potential need for treats that early in the day. Located in Culver City, they are enough outside the bustle of LA to allow street parking with ease, and after navigating those busy city streets the day prior, this made me inordinately happy. Now, can we talk about their branding? It is absolute perfection: All dark and gold, modern, and cool af. This is mirrored in the confections themselves, along with their gorgeous store. When we entered, we found ourselves in this dreamy space with rock BLASTING out of the speakers. While I loved the juxtaposition of that style of music with a boutique chocolatier, it was so loud I couldn't even hear the fellow assisting me at times. While a minor annoyance, he was very kind, and I wont allow even real challenges to prevent me from chocolate, so I pressed on. There is a whole wall of beautifully displayed dragée nuts: mesquite pistachios, Turkish coffee hazelnuts, raspberry almonds, and more. Also caramels, candied fruits, and some chocolate bars, and though I wish I'd paused to consider those delights (they serve various coffees, too!), I had eyes only for the cased bon-bons. Displayed beautifully on marble and dark wood, it is no wonder they arrested my attention so! They can be boxed for gift giving, but I just selected a few and had them bagged as they were for myself. Flavors, while not entirely traditional, are not too crazy either. My favorites were as follows: Kir royale-Dusky dark and slightly fruity. Black sesame-AMAZING and my absolute favorite. This tasted like a nut brittle, but with the luscious smooth texture of a truffle. As a bonus, the filling is almost black, and super cool looking! Manhattan-Stunningly shaped, while maintaining minimalist simplicity, this had enough of a whiskey flavor without being overpowering. I swear I got a note of bitters somewhere in there, and the ganache is uber smooth. Bergamot-Again, smoothy smooth chocolate ganache, this time with that distinct florally citrus flavor of bergamot. Perfectly tempered shell. Unnamed coconut chocolate-This was behind the other chocolates with no tag, so it may have been a seasonal offering or some sort of special, but DANG. A lumpy, bumpy little unassuming square, I adored the combination of crispy bits of coconut and Nutella-esque flavor. Torrone- Less sweet than similar confections I've had elsewhere, nut heavy, with an emphasis on pistachio. Chocolates are priced at $3 each, dragée nuts (available in either a plain tube (and larger quantity) or darling Weck-style jar) are $14, as are the chocolate bars. This is in line with similar chocolatiers. I checked out like ten chocolate shops on this trip, and Milla was one of the top ones. Absolutely worth seeking out.

Got fancy boxes of chocolates from them for Valentine's Day. Ordered online and picked up at store. Small place but very tastefully done! The wrapping was great and they offered extra paper bag. The chocolate was very beautiful and delicious too. Would come back for special occasions!!

I buy the chocolate nuts for a hotel I work at- they are so amazing. And I love the jars. Personally, I'm wildly obsessed with telling the world how good the iced hot chocolate is. Like seriously- it's so very good and comforting yet refreshing. Their coffee is awesome too. Mills's really great. Gourmet goodies to impress.

My fav local chocolate place. Their presentation is elegant. My fav flavors are yuzu and sesame. Their sesame chocolate cookie is decadent. It's pricey but always well received for the holidays.

A friend brought me here for some good coffee and it was indeed very good but on a more expensive side. I got the cold brew and my friend got the bonbon pairing option to share with me. The chocolate pairing with coffee was indeed an excellent idea and it was delicious. However with their pricing. I would consider it a treat when I am in town.

Nicest staff first of all just so sweet accommodating and genuinely care abt the product. I had the black sesame iced hot chocolate it was so insanely delicious (he made it vegan for me). Highly recommend!!!

I was shooketh! Beautiful, dark and elegant store front that reminds me of a museum. Chocolate and coffee curators at the ready to divulge their wisdom and expertise over a small cup of Joe. We live in America where bigger is better but this place has a different view on things and I prefer their take. Refined, small, pure and quality. These are purists in the most elevated sense of the word. No pretense except what you carry with you. If the smells don't beckon you in and entice you to stay, the decadent samples will. They had me at first swallow. I ordered the cap with mocha upon a suggestion from a devout patron and I was so enamored; I had to go back to thank Doug, my thoughtful coffee and chocolate curator. I don't know what magic and blessings they put in their drinks but I'm sated from an 8 oz and less is definitely MORE. If you are into the big chains than you might misinterpret the wholesome flavors and nuances of Mills's. This is for the person with discriminating tastes and textures who knows there is more offerings in this solemn stores than all the Starbucks combined. This was such a delightful treat for myself. I feel like I spoiled me today. This is elegance and comfort in a tiny black cup and I am coming back for more.

Do not waste your money here!!! Very rude staff. Ice cold Champagne Bonbons (definitely not fresh) Hot chocolate with stains on the cup??? not to believe. Orange chocolate all broken when I opened it. They must have known , It was all crumbled and they for sure felt it before putting it in the bag. Not client friendly ,irresponsible staff and not professional. Much better chocolates available else where . Even the chocolates flown in from Switzerland from Teuscher are MUCH better.

Milla Chocolates are a chocolate lover's dream! The Hazelnut Praline bar is organic dark chócolate combined with just the right amount of creamy hazelnut filling. The packaging shows great attention to detail. Clearly individually wrapped by hand in a sturdy gold foil. The "bomb" for me was the Candied Valencia Orange bar! This is a thicker bar of organic dark chocolate thoughtfully inlaid with thin slices of valencia oranges. Wow! It is beautifully handcrafted and packaged in its own sealed enclosure. The time and detail that has been put into Milla Chocolates makes them a standout. This is some of the best chocolate I've ever had!

This place looks tasty, but the rude staff behind the counter refused to answer a legitimate question about food allergies. That is completely irresponsible and unprofessional. You may not care if you kill people, but I do. Do better.

Pretty amazing. Very rich. I had two chocolates (champagne and black sesame caramel at $3 each). The champagne was very rich for my liking, but. I really liked the complexity of the sesame caramel. It's difficult to find high quality chocolate sold individually in Los Angeles. The only other places I can think in LA with comparable quality and creativity are L'artisan in Silverlake (French chocolates, now closed) and Millet Crepe (formerly Chocolate Opulence) on Sawtelle. Great ambience and design of the shop's interior, but it was not immediately clear to me that they also sell pastries. The person manning the store was kind and smiley. Overall a very chic and different chocolate experience. I am now reminded that Compartes exists but in my opinion, Milla is superior to Compartes in every way (design, taste, quality, attention to detail).

From the moment you lay your eyes on the Milla chocolate bar, you can tell that someone had a great vision for design. And when you bite into this incredible creation, it will be just as evident that sometimes, all that glitters can be gold. The chocolate is absolutely perfect - dark, not too rich, not too sweet, beautifully balanced, and paired with flavors of turkish coffee and hazelnut. The praliné adds a gorgeous crunch to cut through the creamy chocolate. It is no mistake that the geometric patterns are what they are as they snap and crackle in your mouth. Of course the shop itself is chic, dramatic, and tad opulent place to relax with a cup of coffee and bon bons of all kinds of flavors.

Nothing can beat boutique (not mass produced) chocolates. My favorite is the uber-realistic cigar made of hazelnut chocolate. The ambiance is very welcoming and the service is very friendly. The first impression is that they are focusing on creating a customer experience, sharing their love to chocolate, rather than making a profit.

Super delicious and unique. Great for a special occasion, a nice gift, or a snack to treat yourself.

I've been watching Epicurious' Price Point. In one of the episodes, it features a chocolate expert. Another episode has a coffee expert. These episodes are available on Youtube as of writing and they are fabulous to watch because the experts really know what they are talking about, which is - ultimately, you get what you pay for! (The condiments expert did relay how the taste of condiments can be nostalgic so if something you love is cheaper in price - by all means, get it, but be aware of what they put inside to make it cheaper. The ice cream expert said something similar too. Makes sense.) My daughter and I walked into Milla Chocolates. I had scoped it out earlier as we were walking by on our way to The Museum of Jurassic Technology, which is across the street. I liked the design of the shop - it's simple, sleek, with dark coloring and of course, the chocolate looks beautiful and completely indulgent. Once we left the museum, I asked my daughter if she wanted to go inside to get a piece of chocolate each. That was our plan. We walk inside and there is a man giving out samples to everyone but us. I thought - that's fine, we'll just each get a piece of chocolate and call it a day. As we're looking over the chocolates on display, another man asks us if we would like to try any samples. This is how he got us! He had four samples and he let us try all four. They were delicious, distinct, creamy, and flavorful. My daughter does not like dark chocolate - but she loved these. When we tried the hazelnut bar and we remarked that we liked it, he said - well, it's award winning. Alas, we succumbed to buying more than two pieces of chocolates. These are well worth it. I will treasure them. I may even give a few to my husband, if he finds them behind the shelf in the kitchen. We found two parking lots on a side street off of Venice - they give one hour free parking and then $1.00 for each 30 minutes afterwards. There is meter parking nearby as well as street parking - always read the tricky signs!

There are only a few establishments that truly impress me these days. However, Milla Chocolates is one of those that I would give 10 stars if I could. I dropped by today to pick up a gift for an overseas trip. Both of the employees who helped me went above and beyond to assist me and I left with a great impression. The manner of care that was taken to put together and wrap my gift was out of this world. Their chocolates are not only beautiful but absolutely divine for someone who has a sophisticated palate and can appreciate fine handmade chocolate. I can't wait to go back and try the nougats and caramels.

Cute small shop that has amazing goodies. I got a Manhattan and hazelnut praline and both were really good!

I picked up the Valentine special chocolate cake and it was not a mistake! So delicious and decadent in all the best ways, from the whole hazelnuts to the bits of gold flake decoration. The presentation was wonderful, though it was smaller than the picture on the website suggested. It was perfect for two people.

The coffee is amazing, the chocolate are delightful but my absolute favorite was there Black Sesame Double Dark Chocolate Cookie!!!! The owner is very sweet and you can tell her and her staff are very dedicated to what they do

Such a delightful place... 5 star for the Black Sesame Iced Hot Chocolate.. 5 star for the chocolates (honestly pick your favorite) and 5 star customer service.
