I got my wife these exquisite specialty chocolates, and she was over the moon with them! She couldn't believe that they were delivered in perfect condition, and looked so beautiful! Also, she was amazed by how delicious and decadent each piece was. I will definitely get these for her again! Thank you for putting in so much time and effort to make these!

I got these chocolates as a gift for my mothers birthday. They came in perfect condition and the presentation was amazing! My mother loved them and everyone was impressed with both the flavor combinations as well as the quality. I will definitely be recommending these chocolates to others as well as ordering again. Top notch and 5 stars!

So delicious . Never ever see ant eat good chocolates like this one . Omg .
Toni R.
Bought this as a gift for a coworker and it was a big hit! The presentation was beautiful and my coworker said the chocolates were amazing. I only wish the box had an insert saying what each chocolate was because she has a strawberry allergy.

Beautiful and delicious

A friend sent me a box for Christmas, and I loved them so much I sent them to my nieces for their birthdays. Every flavor is an experience. The packaging is (almost) as impressive as the chocolates! Service and communication were equally as awesome. You’ve got fans in four states!
Nancy L.
These were beautiful works of art. I got them for mom and I for valentines and we loved every single one of them. What a treat !
Linda G.
I sent this as a gift to my friends getting married in a small ceremony at their home. We could not be there so we thought something unique and special was a great idea. They shared with the wedding guests and everyone loved them!!
Christina B.
These chocolates where truly an experience, the chocolate is thin and crisp and the flavors are truly unique I ate them over a few days and each time it was a treat and even upon trying the flavors for the second time felt like the first all over again, I can’t wait to purchase my next box later in the year
Jana P.
Can't wait till order this box of "happiness "again!!!
And again...
And again...
Amazing gift for people who know how to appreciate gourmet food!!!

Deborah H.
So beautiful!, My aunt who has seen everything (88 years old) had never seen anything like this!
These chocolates are truly unique and delicious. Thank you.
Reinaldo F.
She absolutely loved them. First, it arrived timely. The packaging was perfect. When she opened them, they looked so amazingly beautiful, we almost didn't want to eat them... Of course we did, and they were the most delicious chocolates we have ever eaten... extremely creative, and artistic... They were definitely worth the price I paid... We will order again in the future...
Maria C.
The sampler was amazing. The chocolates look like jewels, they’re extraordinarily colorful and detailed. The flavors totally match the colors. They’re really creative but also well thought out and balanced. It’s been a pleasure to slooowly try them over a week. Highly recommend! I also liked that you can time the shipping.
Pam C.
These chocolates were the best I have ever had.
Hector T.
The chocolates are exquisite! Love the combination of flavors. Especially the ones that combined fruits and spices. Will definitely order again!
Marianne S.
Chocolates are awsome!
Clover C.
We thoroughly enjoyed every bite we took of each. Distinct flavors, tantalizing the pallette.
Uniquely created, immaculately packaged and worth the cost.
We will likely be purchasing again...
Steven P.
Got this for my Mom’s birthday. She loved it! Didn’t want to eat them because they were so beautiful. But she did. I ordered another set for Valentine’s Day.
Joyce S.
I opened mine up last night. Wonderful surprise with the beautiful candies and the taste was of them was even better!!!!! Great company and product!!!

I absolutely love these chocolates. The way they are presented is incredible, the flavors are unique and delicious and when you have them delivered you can count on the shipping and handling making sure they’re presented as if you bought them in store. Worth every penny!
Jeanne L.
Excellent selection of flavors balancing classics and more adventurous ones. A great gift!
Pura F.
Best chocolates I’ve ever eaten. I don’t have a picture because I ate them all. Couldn’t resist
Celeste W.
What a beautiful box of chocolates! Full of art and scrumptiousness. Anyone who buys these or gets them as gift will LOVE them.
Kelly E.
Delicious!!! All of them! About gone, consumed by one in less than 2 weeks. I’m not feeling guilty at all because the ingredients are all natural and very agreeable with my diet!
James F.
Delicious, delicate and masterfully crafted. Well done!
Arthur C.
Great choices and an orgasmic flavor sensation for a full week!
Paige C.
It's rare when you order something online that you get the exact experience you were envisioning, but Cacao & Cardamom DELIVERED! I went bold and got a selection for each household in my extended family and could not have been more pleased. The chocolates were exactly as stunningly beautiful as pictured, and the chocolate and craft quality matched the visuals. Thin chocolate shells, sophisticated flavors and delectable fillings made the whole experience absolutely magical! 10/10 and will definitely be buying again!!
Pete M.
I was not pleased with the amount of white chocolate in my first purchase, but this made a huge difference! A lot of chocolate flavorin this collection. Very tasty and beautiful!
Jarrod M.
My wife said they were the best chocolates she has ever had!!!We will be in the Houston area in March and will be in store to buy more!!
Kelly L.
The chocolates were a huge hit with my family on Christmas Eve & Christmas Day. They are as delicious as they are beautiful. We all loved them!
Thank you.

Just incredible chocolates. Beautiful and unique.
Lissa G.
These were beautiful!! Looks, flavor, and experience!! Bought them as my annual holiday chocolate gifts and everyone loved them. Kinda out shined all the other chocolate gifts we got.
Heidi V.
Shared with our whole family as a Christmas Day after dinner activity/dessert. The photo shows the gorgeous box being put to use holding a variety of chocolates from other shops and companies! Can’t part with the box!!!
Lynn N.
Not only are the chocolates beautiful and taste incredible but the packaging is also gorgeous. Well worth the price. They made a very special gift for my best friend and were well appreciated.
Cynthia W.
So many unique flavors was a perfect dessert paired with dry red blend. Almost too beautiful to eat! Yummy
Mark K.
Utterly spectacular
Laura H.
This was the most wonderful Christmas present for our whole family. The beautiful packaging and the most exquisite tasting chocolates! We had so much fun tasting these individual works of art; each one was so unique and delicious. We highly recommend Cacao and Cardamom!
John O.
The box arrived the next day after shipping in perfect condition. The presentation was exquisite and the chocolates were beautiful unique shapes and colors, and creative, delicious flavors!
Ellen K.
Gave as a gift and recipient LOVED IT.
Kelly M.
The chocolate were a gift for my son and daughter-in-law. His review was, "They are scrumptious! Very neat colors and unusual flavors."
Olivia K.
Each chocolate a tiny piece of art. Delicate in the mouth, heavenly aromas, artful flavor combinations. I’m making this into a tradition at Christmas and maybe birthdays in the cooler months.
Jeremy F.
I sent a large box to my Sister in Manhattan and the response was so effusively enthusiastic that I am about to order another large box for my house in Vermont for Christmas. Jeremy¹
John & MJ M.
This was a gift for my brother’s birthday - we both love artisanal chocolates and I knew he’d enjoy this gift, but it far exceeded every expectation. Here’s what he said in his thank you note: “I've eaten several already. They're beautiful in every way. The box is glorious. The pieces are like art. The quality is world class with perfect temper. The flavors are for the mature palate or connoisseur only (not that I'm saying that's me exactly). They are delicious but complex. I haven't had one yet that I didn't like. It’s the nicest chocolate/food gift I’ve ever received.”
He was also delighted (as was I, when he told me about it), that the gift message I included was actually handwritten instead of computer generated, and that the scribe had included a short, funny message because of something I’d written (that I hoped he’d hoard the chocolates like Smaug on his treasures). Such personal touches are so rare and so very appreciated. This is my second time ordering from C & C as gift for beloved family, and I certainly intend to make it a habit. Thank you for a lovely & memorable experience.
Warmest Regards, Tracy L.
Ron F.
The chocolates were for a surprise birthday party and arrived on time and in perfect condition. First off, they are unique and beautiful - definitely a conversation piece. Most importantly, they were soo yummy. I’ll purchase these again.
Margaret F.
The most beautiful and taste-full chocolates I have eaten in many, many years. I love the way you box your sets, too; but the flavor and variety are fantastic.
Eeriel Constantine
The chocolates are not too sugary, I loved the dulce de leche and chipotle ones so far, and the chocolates are beautiful too.
Vinicius Pranckevicius (vinipranck)
Great experience. So many different flavors. Great to check out or get it as a gift.
Queen BarBee
Chocolate like you've never seen or heard of before! Aaaaaaaaaaaaamazzzzing!
Alethea Samsel
This place has my entire heart. The staff are so friendly and knowledgeable, and everyone there is skilled in their craft. The chocolates are so creative and beautiful, and their chocolate drinks are delicious. Try the white chocolate chai mocha and tell them I sent you!
sspeidel12
The most beautiful chocolates I've ever seen. They offer unique flavors of candies and beverages. The prices are reasonable and competitive.

I've visited Cacao and Cardamom several times now in the past few years, and am always amazed by the interesting flavors and beauty of their specially crafted chocolates. On my most recent visit, a friend and I bought two boxes of 5 chocolates as gifts. They have a wide variety of flavors available, some with Indian spices and others with delicious fruits and herbs. All their chocolates are so artfully arranged and decorated - it's a pleasure to just look at them! I also bought a Coffee and Cardamom flavored chocolate bar for my family. We enjoyed the rich, dark chocolate and the flavors paired very well together. I would recommend Cacao and Cardamom for any chocolate lover, or anyone who loves eating beautiful things. It'll be hard to put them in your mouth given how beautiful they are, but I can confirm that the taste is just as amazing!

This place is one of the finest chocolatiers on Houston and I know the owner has worked so diligently to assure the quality of the product! However, we visited both locations in the past weekend and the staff are an absolute failure. The place on west gray was locked up and would not let us in on Friday and it was before closing. When we stopped at the post oak galleria location there were two girls behind the counter. One was helping the couple in front of us and the other was on a phone call that had nothing to do with the store and clearly felt she had no reason to assist anyone in the store. At this point we had been there for more than 10 minutes and not once been acknowledged or even identified. When two other people came in we decided to leave and patron another place.

UPDATE: 5/27/21
So, C&C did upgrade my shipping to overnight. The package didn't go out until the following Monday, but arrived Tuesday. That's great customer service. It would've been better if someone had let me know.
The chocolate is fantastic. C&C has a unique style and sense of flavor that makes it a good choice for folks who really dig chocolate. This is different from some high end chocolatiers whose chocolates are excellent but not... brave. I gotta say, I didn't *LOVE* every one of this assortment, but every one was interesting. Many were fantastic. Definitely a worthy investment because the quality was there and the uniqueness was thought provoking. For example, the coconut curry was my least favorite. My taste buds weren't ready for that. None of these were unpleasant, they were all good, but coconut curry I will only order again to give to someone for their reaction. The almond gianduja seemed like a great idea, but the almond flavor was too subtle. I don't know how that could be fixed without resorting to artificial flavors or a less flavorful chocolate. I missed the blueberry in the lemon blueberry. I would've liked a strong rose flavor in the rose chocolate, though others might not. Yet, if someone offered me any of these, I'd gladly enjoy them.
The remaining chocolate (around 35 flavors) was really outstanding. I like the cardamom. A lot. All of the pieces were beautiful. Most flavors were clearly discernable and well blended. The passion fruit was one of the best I've had, but the fruit flavors generally were well presented. The spices were not overdone, were unique, and woke up my palate between more traditional flavors. I loved all of them (except the curry, which was still good). Toasted coconut truffle is all star delicious. Bacon maple had a sultry smokiness that was just indulgent. It's tough to pick a favorite, really. Some pieces were fun (balsamic PB&J, speculoo) and others more serious (that curry, again). Some were exotic (five spice) and others perfect renditions of the traditional. C&C is a worthwhile Texas option for fine chocolate. More, I think this has been the most interesting assortment I've had in a long time. Beautiful, delicious, diverting. I'll totally order, again. *END update*
This is my first order as I've been using Norman Love for years. I was excited to hear that there was a chocolate in Texas that some thought was on that level. I ordered an 80 piece box of chocolate for my anniversary. Order placed 4/25 with shipping date 4/28, upgraded shipping to be sure it would arrive on time. Received confirmation. I didn't get a shipping notice on 4/28 so sent an email 4/29. No response. Received shipping notice 4/30. FedEx says label was just created 5/1. Projected delivery is now 5/5. My order shipped late so instead of getting it within 4 days, it will now be 4 days late. Still no contact from C and C.
I'll update when I actually get the chocolate, but given that they shipped it after the last day shipping was available, according to their website, C and C had to know they were creating significant extra transit time for a perishable product. This is a bad first experience so far, especially because nobody reached out to tell me what was happening after I asked. A good experience would've been upgrading the shipping another level to ensure it arrived on time and not potentially melted, even if nobody reached out directly, but even a quick response to my email would've given me more time to make a new plan. I make this suggestion because I hope it helps y'all. I want to buy Texas, but once I'm spending more than $200 to get chocolate shipped within South Texas, I need to know it'll get here on time, which is why I paid a little more than standard delivery. This week the weather is cool, but we've already hit 96 degrees in San Antonio. This being Texas, only the Lord knows what the weather will be like over the next 4-5 days, lol. However, I'm hoping I'll be able to repurpose the chocolate for Mother's Day and add some stars after having my mind blown by how great it is.

These chocolate bon-bons rank among the best I have ever eaten, not just here in Houston but other countries as well. The quality of the chocolate itself is superb, but the genius with which Ms. Rupani combines the flavors in the fillings may be unparalleled.
I would implore anyone put off by the idea of these spices in their chocoaltes to set aside your concerns and try them. While I love spicy food I tend to steer away from spicy desserts, and had passed up this chocolatier for years. But recently my wife received a wonderful gift of an 80-piece box, and I am now a convert. I love Szechuan cuisine, but no way did I want a strawberry Szechuan bon-bon, I used to think. But now it's a favorite, and that's just one example.
Bradford Stephen Kyle
Looks amazing! ...waiting to taste...
Bethany Fitzgerald
Divine as always! I highly recommend you try one of their drinks, too. The white chocolate chai is amazing, as is the European hot chocolate, and they can make your drinks iced as well.
Steve Fischer
I thought their artisan chocolates would be a great surprise for my Valentine. Knowing her tastes, I ordered the Spice Infusion Collection. The product arrived on time though it wasn't the Spiced Infusion Collection chocolate. Instead, she received chocolates like: Balsalmic PB&J - which is not a spice, Dulche De Leche - again not a spice, Chipotle, Lavender and other non-spice chocolates.
I wrote to the company expressing my disappointment and a week later, they still have not responded.
For customer service - they lost a star because they never replied to my email, meaning they never apologized for sending the wrong order and they never tried to make it right.
For value - they lost a star because they didn't provide what they offered and what I ordered.
For presentation - they keep a star. The delivery/arrival and the presentation was very good and commendable, even though it is the wrong order.
For quality control - they lost a star for not checking their orders for accuracy.
For taste - they keep a star. Even though it was the wrong order, the chocolate has some quality.
Extremely poor customer service. There are many other artisan chocolate companies. Search around and you will find better customer service and exquisite chocolate. You won't find it with this company.
Heather Keller
We went here to get some goodies for Mother’s Day. We love their chocolate and always get their cafe latte and chai latte. Today we had such a great service. We asked the woman working if she had been there long and she said she had only started a couple weeks ago. We were very impressed with her on her knowledge of the chocolate and her customer service.

I was looking for a gift for my wife for easter. They had intricate dark chocolate eggs (hollow with small chocolate/mint beads inside). Three of these and a small dark chocolate bunny were a winner.
Noor Saba
Not as I expected, some stuff are good but some other disappointed me , with wired taste
Jamie Osborn
I absolutely love this chocolate. I’ve never had such amazing flavors in such pretty packages! My one complaint would be that the option to build your own box isn’t always up. I have to build my own because I absolutely can’t stand spicy foods and don’t want to pay such a high price for a chocolate I’ll throw away. Honestly if I could I’d probably buy a box every month. Also they claimed to have an email group but I’ve never received anything and I signed up over a year ago. I wish I lived in Texas so I could try the new flavors they come up with for holidays! Until then I’ll be happy building my own box and maybe they can make a mild box for when that option isn’t available.

I love Cacao & Cardamom. Started a new tradition in my family where I get chocolates for my mother-in-law and sister-in-law for Valentines each year!! Looking forward to seeing the beautiful creations each time I go to this store... It is a true Houston gem. I’ve also sent chocolates overseas to S. Korea where they were tremendously enjoyed ❤️ Thank you Annie and fellow chocolatiers
