Chocolate Temptation

The best place ever! I LOVE their coffee shakes!!! Wish I could move them to NC with me!!!

A hidden jem! If passing thru Monroe WI you must stop at this Coffee House /​ice Cream /​Chocolate Candy makers /​they have a selection of hand made Chocolates that are amazingly flaverful and fresh! Always a friendly team that is willing to suggest something sweet! Stop in and enjoy a day with family and friends.

Okay, first, take a look at the other reviews… this place makes all sorts of sweets and treats, chocolates, etc. And they do look incredible. This review is not about that…
This is about the café side of the business. I watch my diet, especially sugar and fats, for health reasons. So, I came here again, having forgotten about the last time I tried to order an iced latte. Okay, what is an iced latte? It’s cold milk, ice, and espresso. That’s it. I ordered an iced latte. The young woman brought me an «iced Cappucino»…and I then remembered my last experience here. Yes, again, it was a drink made from a pre-​sweetened espresso syrup they had made. using brown sugar, I was told. But, guess what… I did NOT order a sweetened drink. In fact, when I ordered it, the woman asked if I wanted any flavor or syrup. I specially said no. Just an iced skim latte. See, folks, because some people do NOT want extra sugar in their diet. So when we tell you NO SWEETENER — it is a HEALTH issue!
So, I asked them to make me an actual iced skim latte. I was not rude, impatient, I simply asked them to please make what I ordered.
I got attitude, total attitude. Like I was being a complete pain in the ass for asking the beverage I ordered, and paid for, be made correctly. Then, when it was «custom» made (as the young lady huffed at me), she stuck it in my hand, frowned at me, and huffed off. It was made with whole milk. Really?
For god’s sake people… you have an espresso machine and claim to serve high-​end coffee. You charge for high end coffee. Can’t blame the staff, though. I overheard them conferring with the owner/​manager that they sweeten their espresso so it isn’t «too bitter»…really? For that, and the shitty attitude… one star…
(apparently, you should go here for the chocolate, not the iced lattes)

Definitely the best (and the only) chocolate shoppe that you’ll find in Monroe. Their drinking chocolate is TO DIE FOR. The store is small, but cozy.

I had a waffle cone with chocolate brownie and it was ok. The cone wasnt as sweet as I prefer. However, my husband and son tried a shake and a malt and they said it was some of the best they have ever had. A little pricey but a very nice place and worth supporting the little guys.

Love love love Chocolate Temptation. It’s a fantastic place to stop and enjoy an ice cream sundae with some coffee or, in my case, a warm chai latte. Quaint and cozy and absolutely delicious.
Additionally, the chocolates themselves are fantastic. I especially enjoy the dark chocolate raspberry cremes and the dark chocolate covered orange peels. My grandparents live nearby and any time they come to Chicago for a visit they bring me a box or a bag of something delicious.
If I remember correctly, they also have a very large selection of sugar free chocolates, so if you’re looking for a tasty diabetic-​friendly treat, Chocolate Temptation is the way to go.

Just an amazing place. If your in the mood for a sundae you’ll find the best at Chocolate Temptations! There are so many options, it’s hard to choose. Please take a moment to visit!

I love me some Chocolate, and their truffles are huge and to DIE FOR. Also, a bit expensive. But you get what you pay for.
So after you try some awesome cheese across the square, get yourself over here for some dessert.
My boyfriend also had a italian lemonade with mango sorbet. REeeeeeFRESHING.
Also got a bit of trash talk from the girl at the counter about the Cubs vs. Sox game on June 26^th, 2010. Fun little place, I like their attitude…

24 hours in town, two trips to Chocolate Temptation. Definitely a downtown Monroe gem.
This joint lies somewhere between cute and handsome… vaguely European but also sort of Midwestern-​Victorian. In any case, it works – helps you settle into the mood to enjoy various chocolatey desserts. But then again, I am always in the mood for chocolatey desserts.
You’ve got your four basic food groups: coffee drinks, ice cream, chocolates, and cakes/​pastries/​etc. I ate the Maui Wowie sundae (kona coffee ice cream, hot fudge, and toasted coconut) and could not stop moaning; the toasted coconut makes the sundae. I also drank a chai latte, and could appreciate that the chai was homemade although it seemed a little watery. On visit #2, I took a chocolate malt milkshake to go and nearly collapsed on the sidewalk. SO fucking good.
From a gift earlier this year, I already knew that they made top-​notch chocolates (especially the hazelnut and mint crème). This time I hauled home a treasure trove of crème de menthe oreos and «gertles» (i.e. their version of the turtle, only I got the cashew variety). The oreos… oh, there are no words. I may drive back to Wisconsin just for these things. I got six of them – how long do you think that the other five lasted once I tried the first one? Utterly shameful behavior. But, the deliciousness drove me temporarily insane. The gertles are good, but heavier on the caramel than on the chocolate. Their dark chocolate blows their milk chocolate out of the water, by the way.
So whether you want to take some treats back home or sit in the café and enjoy a sundae or a dessert, do not miss Chocolate Temptation on your next trip to the square.

Anyone who ever visits Monroe, WI and loves chocolate needs to make a stop at this quaint chocolate/​coffee shop.
