A big shout out to the team at Chocolatea! My boyfriend and I were first timers to try out their wall length variety of teas. We showed up close to closing but the staff was still very accommodating and extremely informative. We didnt catch the ladys name that asked if we needed anything but she told us to yell for Tim if we had any questions. Tim was very knowledgeable about the product and answered any questions we had. We ended up choosing 4 different types of tea and was able to pick a tea for them to make a cup to go for is each. It was a lot of fun for us non drinkers to experience something similar to wine tasting. Their wide selection and friendly staff will definitely have us driving from grand rapids again to visit.

Love this place- great place to have a snack or cup of tea, and the tea selection is fantastic. If you are new to tea, the staff is very knowledgeable and can make recommendations (for example if you want to make some old fashioned sweeet tea, are looking for something to help with a cold, etc.), and will also brew you a sample cup of a loose tea while you wait if you want to try it before you buy it. Prices are very reasonable as well- way less expensive than the loose tea at Teavana at the mall.

I love how classy and quaint this coffeeshop is. There is a huge selection and my handcrafted caramel/chocolate blend frappe was quite good. The girl who took my order was fantastic and very helpful, given that it was my first time at this location. Also, when I asked if they had Italian hot chocolate (they did), she promptly went and got numerous products for me to look at, and she apologized for the "delay" (there was none). I highly recommend this location.

I come here often with my wife for tea and sandwiches. They are very tasty. Its the service and the atmosphere that we like the best. Its like you step away to a little calm oasis. We enjoy sitting on the deck, watching the stream, playing board games, reading a book or clicking away on a laptop. All of the staff are very friendly and helpful picking out the perfect tea!

I love the staff here - they are so friendly and knowledgeable! The teas (dried) are incredible - youll find yourself getting some to take home. One time, they even had a Doctor Who-inspired tea (guess what we got people for gifts?!). We also love their baked goods, and their drinks - our daughter always gets peach boba tea, and their coffee drinks are delicious. LOVE!

Food was amazing, I had the tomatoes mozzarella sandwich and italian wedding g soup. The Pirates Gold drink was fantastic as well. The staff was extremely helpful and pleasant. Sammy was who waited on me. She helped me with my choices or drink and food and showed me around the store as this was my first visit. I will definitely be returning!!!!

My wife and I came here after work. The staff was happy to see us. They greeted us with smiles and were attentive to our needs. We had a ham and Swiss Sandwhich, broccoli and cheese soup, some chips. We had two drinks, a Pirates Gold and Gilligans Island. The service, food and drinks were awesome... ♡ Thank you Chocolatea. ♡

Chocolatea is fantastic. They have every persuasion of tea you could ever hope for, and the best chai tea lattes I have ever had. The chocolate selection is top-notch as well...bite-sized goodness. Great atmosphere, cute outdoor area (when the weather allows), and great selection of take-home items in their shoppe.

Very unique place. So glad places like this exist. Surprised my wife with a visit here for dessert after dinner. She loved it. What women doesnt love a store full of chocolate and Nik-naks. Do yourself a favor guys and take your wife here. Youll definitely score, points that is.

From the McDreamy lavender latte, to the sea salt caramel truffles, to soups and cakes, everything is scrumptious. Polly and her staff are friendly and helpful as you discover new teas and chocolates. A must-do in Kalamazoo/Portage!

Chocolate and tea, my two favorite things! They sell a variety of loose leaf teas and tea accessories. Also they sell gourmet chocolates and desserts. I had the Butterbrew hot tea latte which was fantastic.

Delicious teas in an insanely huge selection. No matter what you like, you can find it here, with a nice selection of different sweeteners and nondairy milks to meet your dietary needs.

This place is a favorite stop to unwind with a quick cuppa. I just had the most delicious strawberry-rhubarb pie with my spicy chai. Perfect break before facing holiday traffic again.

The best place to get loose leaf tea. No restrictions on how much or little to get, serve yourself or have tea made for you. The staff is always friendly.
