Yummy… Get an outrageous iced coffee and I always get a few dark chocolate pecan turtles or some of their incredible bark to go!

Wow. Talk about an incredible stop. I visited the shop today and ordered a delicious coffee brewed to perfection. The dark blend of coffee was well complimented by a superb raspberry scone and two milk chocolate swans that delivered a fantastic fill for my chocolate craving. The vibe is simply chocolate ornamental with a half cottage/half brick feel. I will most definitely be visiting this spot more often. Well done.

I love this place, great service, and very informative if you are not sure what to get. I love love love the chocolate here and the pastries and the coffee ice cubes make the ice coffee off the charts. The price is great!

Delicious chocolates, artfully made. I don’t indulge in them too often, but when I do I’m always happy. What I come here for most often is the coffee: lattes, cappuccino are all well made and delicious. And the home made hot chocolate is amazing too! Their brewed coffee is good, they usually have a nice selection of interesting varietals, and always have a fresh brewed decaf choice that’s interesting(instead of the bland generic decaf a lot of other places offer) They have a small selection of whole bean coffees too, so you can take some home to brew up later. It’s a cozy shop with a few high tops, a few seats at the counter and a few seats outside. It’s easy to get to right off main street in downtown Amesbury. Not a lot of parking outside the place, but I’ve never had a problem finding parking there, or nearby on the street somewhere.

The chocolate from Ovedia is superb and everyone there is awesome. I’ve taken batches into the office in Cambridge and everyone loves it. All of the chocolate is delicious: truffles in the case, bark, chocolate lollies and anything they make. My favorite is the quail eggs at Easter time: caramel covered in chocolate with a candy shell. Sheer genius. I don’t bother to buy chocolate anywhere else because it will just make me wish for chocolate from Ovedia.

Chocolate, need I say more? An assortment of delicious truffles. I’ve always been a fan of the strawberry balsamic. But equally as important is the reason why I frequent the joint, there’s also coffee, teas and hot chocolates. Chili pepper hot chocolate with a shot of espresso is a favorite of mine. It’s a small space. Standing room really and a fairly open kitchen. Great for gifts. They have nice little boxes. No exactly cheap but as they say, you get what you pay for. Oh, if you’re in a savory mood try the fontina and pepper scone. They also have a few other pastries and cookies available in the morning. Limited onsite parking but easily accessible from most of downtown Amesbury. If you’re not ready to commit to a truffle there’s little chocolate bark bits too.

The best coffee in town. The chocolates are delicious too. I often give them as teacher gifts or bring them as hostess gift.

This is our favorite chocolate chop in the state. No gift is complete without some Ovedia bark, truffles, caramels, or coffee involved! We buy the coffee beans to make coffee at home, but we also will get coffee there. The iced coffee has frozen«coffee cubes» so when it melts it doesn’t water down the coffee. They carry soymilk, which is great! The Mochavedia is delicious(iced or hot mocha) but you can’t go wrong with the hot chocolate or the other coffee drinks. Get a homemade marshmallow on top and you’re good to go! We go in at least once a month and our christmas gifts are their packaged hot chocolate and they are always a hit. Totally worth the visit!

With a confession that I don’t drink coffee, it’s thrilling to walk into a bakery that is known for its hot chocolate drinks. You can purchase the basic hot chocolate(which is anything but basic, given its dark chocolate base) but you can also splurge on drinks with white chocolate, caramel, mocha, and more. And, yes, you can order coffee or tea if you prefer. They also have a selection of muffins, scones, and other pastries if you don’t feel like buying their handmade truffles or small pieces of chocolate goodness. I don’t suggest going too frequently as you’re paying for gourmet/boutique prices; but then again they have a customer appreciation card where you buy so much and you get your next drink free.

Nice little artisan chocolatier, makes great coffee too. I never fail to stop in here when I’m in Amesbury running errands. It’s not fast or cheap, but seriously, it’s good value for the time and the money.

Great little spot for a snack and coffee. Scones, pastries, chocolates and muffins. I was recommended the mocha Carmel iced coffee… Best one I ever had! Met some friends down there and sat outside at seating available. Look forward to returning. Funny to run into some old friends there. Will definitely return

I’m a dark chocolate connoisseur so I know my chocolate. I won’t even eat most places chocolate as I prefer high quality. This is the best chocolate North of Boston, maybe throughout Massachusetts. They treat you exceptional well and remember your favorites. I like the figs and pear that Hockmeyer gave to me as a vendor. Once I has it I came to the store and purchase a small bag almost weekly. They were out of the figs and pear for several weeks and my mood was greatly impacted! I bought other selections and was still yearning for my favorite. I came in today and they gave me a free bag as they recognized my plight. Now that was something!

I’ll leave this review short and sweet, just like Ovedia. Once again I had a great experience and I have to say probably the best cup of coffee I have ever had. I would definitely recommend this business!!!

I lived up the street from Ovedia for several years and never got tired of the delicious chocolate smell when you walk in their door. The staff is incredible and is my favorite part of the visit. When I stopped in to pick up a mixed box for a Christmas party, the woman who helped me painstakingly selected, placed, and wrapped the chocolates. The truffles lasted about 10 minutes at the party! This place is pricey but the quality, flavor, and selection are all 5-star. I recommend the shop to locals and to non-locals who truly love artisan chocolate.

Really friendly and thoughtful staff, sweetly iced and generously sized scones, crisp and clean interior, complete with a nearly secret entrance! ps: Have to mention. Homemade marshmallows!

The best coffee and espresso drinks !!! The shop is very clean and organized with a great hip yet cozy feel. Located downtown in a historic mill building setting. When you order a iced drink they use coffee ice cubes which really enhances the flavor just do they charge extra for it, they also sell coffee by the pound all high quality and great tasting. As for pastry and baked goods: they had an interesting selection and all looked appealing. The staff has always been friendly, helpful and great with suggestions. Price: you are paying for quality, If want a real properly made espresso or chocolate this is the place, though it would be nice to have some promotions on occasion. oh I should not forget they make great chocolates that are a real indulgence . This shop make a detour to Amesbury worth the extra miles off the highway. Be warned when you go there you just can’t compare them it to anything else.

Gorgeous and delicious caramels and truffles. Wow. Incredible quality in the crafting of these chocolates. I dig their iced chocolate and coffees.(they even use the coffee and chocolate for the ice they add to them so they won’t get watered down!) Expensive? Sure. But you gotta pay for quality. This ain’t Russell stovers people. PASS

I love going here for their iced coffee. The ice cubes are made with coffee so there’s not watering down and their flavors are delicious. Everyone is always very friendly as well.

A neat little chocolate shop tucked off of Main Street in an old mill building. This is the retail store for Ovedia Artisan Chocolates, which are sold at a select few shops in MA, NH, ME, CO, and WI, including Butcher Boy in North Andover and Philbrick’s Market in Portsmouth. Ovedia sells the chocolate barks, bars, chocolate covered nuts, truffles, caramels, and coffee beans. The items are on the pricey side, most items already packaged ready to go. They also have a small coffee/espresso bar in the shop, some baked goods to go with your drink(short or tall sizes). I strolled in here only for a tall Iced Coffee($ 3.15 with tax) which was pretty refreshing on a very hot day. CLOSED on Mondays
