Maverick chocolate...it's nice to see a more boutique chocolate shop in Cincinnati (or America in general). The interior of the shop is setup to showcase the chocolate; it's a high contrast environment.
You walk in and you can sample all of the chocolate bars available for purchase. Some were great (single origin Tanzania and lemon lavender), others good, and some were ho-hum (chocolate with chili)...but taste is subjective. I thought my lemon lavender bar was a bit stale (?) and my mother agreed...truly disappointing since the sample was amazing (it did win an award).
The truffles are beautiful...splendid colors that appease and tantalize the eyes. It's like a giant jewelry box! Like the bars, some flavors were hits (espresso and passion fruit) and others need some fine tuning (lemon raspberry and earl grey).
Overall, a good step in the right direction but a few tweaks could make this shop top notch.
I recently took a tour of Maverick Chocolate at Rookwood Commons and was impressed. It’s so nice to an organic chocolate store that cares about providing a quality product at a fair price. Better yet it’s nice to know that the farmers were the beans are sourced from are paid a fair wage. The chocolate tastes amazing and I also love fact that each country where the beans are sourced from have their own bar. The tour was informative and of course tasting samples at the end of the tour was great too.
We finally had Maverick Hot Chocolate, it is a very rich, dark and creamy hot chocolate. I absolutely loved it! It is not your typical hot chocolate, if you like dark chocolate this is a must try! The cookies were phenomenal! Glad we finally stopped in to try Mavericks!
Wonderful craft chocolate store in Cincinnati making bean to bar chocolate! We have loved every bar we've tried from this store, as well as the truffles and chocolate chip cookies. We toured the factory with Paul and loved learning about it--highly recommend to anyone visiting the Cincinnati area!
This is a beautiful store that offers impeccable customer service. The chocolate is delicious and the chocolatier does a great job of explaining each item.
Yummy, ethically sourced chocolate made locally. They have samples of each bar to taste. I will definitely be back to buy more chocolate!
A bit high-end but it was well worth it. I got the prohibition milk chocolate and it was easily the best I have ever had. Incredibly complex, more so than I thought possible, not too sweet. The truffles are beautiful and the atmosphere is like something you would see in a designer clothing store. I will be back
After trying the Findlay Market location I tried this one. Whereas the Findlay Market shop is old world (I call it a chocolate factory for "older Charlie's") this one is very modern and sleek and you can see how the chocolate is made. It is a different vibe but no difference in quality and price. You are surrounded by the craft and the smell. Free samples help you narrow down your choice and the staff are very helpful. Sample, and see, they'll find something you like. After a sample I thought $10-12 for a bar was a bargain. They even have a sugar free option, which my diabetic friend bought. I'm not much of a truffle person, but it was fun to smell, ask questions and get a box which the wife loved and said she enjoyed.
I moved very far away from Ohio (and to a city known for their fine chocolates) and i have to say that maverick is definitely the best of the best. I love the creamy body that both their milk chocolates and darkest of the dark share. The snap when breaking a piece off the bar is perfect, and I really feel like I taste all of the tasting notes that they claim each bar posses. It is worth every penny in my opinion, and I hope you will try Maverick out as your new chocolate place. The staff all enjoy their jobs and will happily point you towards to the chocolate(s) you are most likely to like :)
I LOVE their chocolate! My first experience was at the Findlay Market location. The Rookwood store is beautiful, simple and elegant. You must look up if you go because the owner designed and built the most amazing miniature plane by hand. You can also see how they make the chocolate as a glass wall allows you to see “behind the curtain.” Try the bars, truffles, chocolate chip cookies, frozen chocolate . . . ALL of it is to die for. They are a bit pricey, averaging over $10 a bar, but excellence should be rewarded. One recent change that I especially like is serving size suggestion and sugar content are now on the packaging. Please check out this chocolatier. You won’t want to go anywhere else for this delicacy after you’ve tasted their offerings. Maverick is just that good.
