The Chocolate Gallery

White Chocolate Raspberry gelato may be some of the best in the world. Truly fantastic. Pricy though.

Very poor service. We walked in on a slow day and no one greeted us. In fact, the two young ladies behind the counter were more interested in talking to each other and not customers. I was very disappointed.

Okay so this review I feel is much more heavily based on their service than their actual product. The chocolate is absolutely delicious. I have to preface I came on a really bad day where they were significantly understaffed and there were about 5 people waiting to order. Generally I wouldn’t’ mind the wait, however I was in a rush that day and the one worker was clearly not well organized to assist customers. She kept going out of order (Most likely an accident) and took quite some time to do even the simplest tasks. The worst part was a woman that needed to place a large bulk order who she helped for nearly twenty minutes while everyone else was waiting to pick up on or two quick orders. I really wish she had gone through and asked what she could get started for each person and push out the quicker options first. Anyway, the chocolates were delicious, but they were such a hassle to get. Would recommend this place if you’ve got a while to wait, but if you’re in a rush for a quick gift — not the first spot I would recommend.

This is a fun place to check out. The chocolates are expensive but make for a delectable and unique treat.

Interesting place and definitely worth checking out. Everything looks fancy but don’t assume it’s too expensive. You can get small item for a few $. They box everything up really nice almost too pretty to unwrap… even if we were only walking over to a table to eat it. One complaint I would have is that I asked for a cup of water and was giving the smallest paper cup of water you can imagine. They could use a water fountain. Of course they sell bottled water so I guess that’s what they would hope you would buy.

Maybe I went on an off night or something but there were all of four cupcakes in the case — three of which were the same flavor. I asked if they had anymore in the back or something and they said no. The cupcakes were dry — I could make better at home. Really disappointing.

The mixed reviews made me a little apprehensive, but this place was well worth it. We had 5 chocolates: 70% cacao, habanero, key lime pie, red velvet cake, and carrot cake. They were all delicious! My wife likes spicy chocolate, and the habanero chocolate was perfect, with strong chocolate flavor while chewing and a delicate, lingering heat after eating. There was not a flat one in the bunch.
We also got a carrot cake cupcake, which was fantastic. The cake was moist with just the right amount of crunch from the carrot. The frosting was also delicious, with maybe a hint of lemon?
Many people thought this place was too expensive, but I appreciated the high quality I was paying for. If you want bulk value, I recommend putting yourself out to pasture with a feedbag full of Hershey kisses. If you want to sample a few delicacies, I highly recommend this place.
I took off one star for a variety of reasons. First, they were low on inventory on many of their offerings, which was a little disappointing. Second, the large space inside is not well utilized, making the place feel empty even when people are hanging out. They could definitely benefit from an interior designer to help them properly maximize the massive space. I also sorely missed a large menu on the wall, which could perhaps highlight special offerings and better explain the pricing. Finally, they sell coffee but only drip coffee from a large carafe. I didn’t feel as if the coffee really went with the chocolate. They could definitely push harder on chocolate and coffee flavored drinks, chocolate covered coffee beans, etc to really tie the two together more cohesively.
Regardless, this business is a great presence in downtown Bryan!

The Chocolate Gallery came as a pleasant surprise find in downtown Bryan. Was looking for new stores, parked here on accident, saw the sign and it was oddly familiar as I had seen their catering truck around town. Walked inside and was awe struck at the massive showroom which also hosts Ciana’s Cakes which is featured on a local morning news program.
The chocolates look very similar in design to those of the small Truman’s and the famous Cocoamoda of Calvert. We tried about half a dozen types including the pecan bites and all were 100% outstanding. My favorite was the Habanero that packed a sneaky punch of heat that builds up over time. Perfect way to finish that one is with a Watermelon Sorbet from Ciana’s, to cool it down a bit.
Wonderful culinary desert stop in the ever expanding downtown Bryan.

We stopped by after lunch and had dessert cupcakes. We love this place. We both are originally from Galveston and it is an upscale vwesion of La King’s on the Strand. We will return again when we are in Bryan.

My wife and I go there frequently. The chocolates aren’t cheap, but you definitely get your money’s worth. The variety and tastes are exquisite. They also have cupcakes and cookies that are very delicious. My personal favorite is the gelato. My wife’s favorite is the homemade marshmallows. I highly recommend you check this place out.

This is the type of place that makes you envy Chocolatiers, the real life Willa Wonkas.
There is a mass array of chocolates to choose from. I was pleased to see that they had a few vegan options:
–Chipotle Smoked Chocolate
–French Marzipan
–Orange Chai Spice
–Pineapple Brulee Pâté de Fruit
–Texas Marzipan
I almost ate my $ 20 box of chocolate in one sitting. *Looks ashamed.
They also make their own gelato and offer classes.
A pleasant place to stop by in Downtown Bryan.

NOTORIETY: Chocolatier & Pastry Jt
FOOD:
Vanilla cupcake ($ 3.50): Let’s start off by saying it is a pretty good cupcake. The frosting was a bit too sweet for my taste, but had a nice texture and vanilla flavor. The cake portion was crumbly but a bit dry. The dryness could be b/​c I waited until much later to eat it.
OVERALL: It’s a nice venue to check out. They even have on display a Han Solo on in chocolate «carbonite». It’s a bit pricy tough, so be warned.
RECOMMENDATION: None yet.
TIP: None yet.

I bought an Aggie velvet cupcake from The Chocolate Gallery, and I was extremely disappointed. The cake itself was inexcusably dry and lacking flavor. The frosting lacked flavor and was whipped, which I don’t think went well with the cake. It was a little expensive at nearly five dollars. I feel like I can make better cupcakes at home for half the price. I would not recommend getting a cupcake here. The chocolates are hit or miss and absolutely too expensive. Three dollars for one chocolate is verging on price gouging. I think it’s great that a shoppe like this opened up in town, but it needs to be good if the owners want to stay in business.

My girlfriends and I were wandering downtown Bryan one Saturday afternoon and stopped here for a treat. We all LOVED the cupcakes. I got one that had Nutella in it. It was so moist and chocolate-​y. I also got an assortment of chocolates to take home and share with my hubs. They had many interesting options and each one has been very good.

I noticed this place on first Friday and bought a box of 6 chocolates to split with my friend. The box of six cost $ 19 so they are more expensive than Truman’s, my expectations where high since I am a big fan of Truman’s and every single flavor I have tried at Truman’s has been delicious. I chose milk chocolate with pumpkin filling, a caramel apple candy, and a strawberry candy. The pumpkin one was the best of the three, the caramel apple was mostly caramel, and the strawberry was fine but nothing extraordinary. If this place was cheaper than Truman’s it would definitely give it a run for it’s money, however since it is not, I’ll be sticking with Truman’s for my candies. They do other things than candies though, like cakes, which I have not tried.
