Edis’ Chocolates

I’d been craving a decorated Christmas cookie ever since the day after Thanksgiving. Got on Unilocal last night and looked up «cookie» near me and voila! I left work this morning at 0900, was there by 0909, and only had a brief, completely tolerable, 5 minute wait before I got served. I got 3 iced Christmas cookies (one for me, two to give away if I keep my promise to myself! lol), and some white chocolate hearts for part of my older brother’s Christmas present. The lady working was very nice, and when I ate my cookie as a mid-​day snack instead of having lunch (I’m misbehaving today, it seems), it was FABULOUS. Just a little bit crumbly, but only in your mouth, and just the perfect consistency cookie. The icing is a thin layer and it’s wonderful. The baker (s) here are way talented!

The owner was warm and welcoming, the apple pear tart was outstanding, and the cupcakes were absolutely delicious!

Had a couple of their spring shortbread cookies this weekend, and I just have to say that I was very impressed. I am not a usual fan of sugar cookies, or desserts of the sugary kind in general. However, I thought these would be a festive treat for my girl. I liked how lightly sweet, crumbly and buttery the taste was. I could not stop at just one. Come on in and check out their seasonal cookies. I’m sure you wouldn’t be able to resist either.

Oh my gosh! My first time here and everything looks amazing! I bought a lemon bar and it is by far THE BEST lemon bar I’ve EVER had! It was only $ 3.50 and it’s a pretty big size. The owner was nice and said that pretty soon they will be making lime bars! I’m so excited! I love sweets so I’ll be coming here at least once a week! This place is located across the street from taco shack.

The owner is a lovely lady. Always there. Very personal touch. Greets me with a sweet hello and smile when I come through the door.
Smells divine. Butter and chocolate and sugar oh my.
Best brownies ever. And the flourless cake just melts on your tongue. I always have to get a mini flourless chocolate cake, with my brownie, to go. She makes the brownies and cookies with butter, not oil.
Whenever I crave chocolate, I find my way here.

Me and my boys LOVE to stop here and get a couple of her sugar cookies. They are the best cookies ever! She changes the cookie shapes for the time of year; my boys love to see what cookies are «in season». I’ve also purchased her truffles and chocolate cake for birthdays and gifts they are delicious too!

You can’t go wrong at this place. The truffles are great and the chocolate mouse is BOMB!

Stopped by Edis’ Chocolates to pick up some desserts for dinner at a friend’s place. The woman who helped me was super sweet and helpful. I chose a beautifully-​designed red velvet heart-​shaped cake and six truffles. The price is a little on the high side, but it’s artisan chocolate, so hopefully it’s worth it!
I didn’t get to try the truffles (they were a gift for the couple), but we did eat the cake at their place and it was pretty dry. :(Not bad with the icing though! And definitely not bad enough to cancel out the great service. Hoping the chocolates are a hit!

I want to eat everything on this menu. Haha seriously! This woman is the best. First thing I ever bought was the flourless chocolate cake which made me melt it was so good. She keeps luring me back in with samples too. I’m hooked. My faves are the truffles, bunt cakes (all of them) and hazelnut torte. O, and the Italian wedding cake.

Delicious! The truffles are some of the best i have had. They are so light, creamy and wonderful. And they come in some amazing flavors.

So with all the raving reviews, I believe that I will have to try Edi’s again to make a firm decision.
But today, my visit and overall experience was lackluster. My 3 dollar iced coffee came in a Dixie cup meant to keep your coffee warm and my ice was pretty much melted when I received it. I also ordered biscotti. The chocolate was fine but the biscotti tasted like store bought and boxed. It was so flavorless. Was all so boring…
It looks like I will have to get some actual chocolates and keep the coffee hot. I’ll update my review then.

The best ever. I love the chocoalte cupcaje. Good torte and chocolate cupcake. Wilk come back for red velvet and linzer tart. good cream cheese. I have died and gone to heaven.

Absolutely delicious. I have enjoyed everything that I’ve eaten here. I don’t have much of a sweet tooth, but my wife definitely does. So, we’ve been a couple of times in the last week, since finding it. They have a good variety, for a small shop, and lots of gluten free options, for those with the preference.
Overall, it’s just a great little place to get dessert, or some chocolate snacks. We’ll be regulars here, for sure.

So awesome, and the lady behind the counter (the owner?) was very friendly! Lots of great GF options, and the prices were reasonable, especially for handmade chocolates ($ 10 for 4 relatively large and very rich-​tasting truffles seems reasonable to me!). There’s even more that they sell now than what’s listed on the website, so check them out if you’re nearby! Just don’t do what I did and get fooled by the small sizes – these chocolates are very rich in flavor, so you won’t want a lot of them all at once!

This review was solely about the truffles. I miss Roscars chocolate so much so when a friend told me about this place across the road I was pumped. Only to find they keep truly puzzling hours. Close at five for a retail store? It took me a week before I had a day off to venture here.
The truffles themselves were disappointing interesting flavors but very dry and the cocoa flavor was far from smooth or rich in taste. Major bummer. I wanted something local but guess I’ll make do with the chocolate counter at whole foods.

Since my neighbor moved, I had no one bringing me chocolate bliss from Edis. And so, I finally went. Several times.
Never walk away without a pool of chocolate sprinkled with fruits, nuts, or both. You will not go back to candy bars after one of these. The chocolate is so fresh and decadent that it melts smoothly at each bite; it feels like you are eating it in slow motion. They make such great gifts too!
Aside from the chocolate, they have pastries, cakes and coffee. And most of these are with… chocolate. The croissants are crisp on the outside and soft on the inside. It pairs perfectly with a cup of their coffee. The chocolate torte and the chocolate mousse are absolutely delicious. Basically, this Edis Chocolates is a fantasy land of liquid chocolate, fluffy chocolate, and hard chocolate.
Edis is a chocolate artisan.

I lived in the land of chocolate — Switzerland for the past three years and recently moved to Austin. I had slowly eaten through the stash of chocolate I had transported with me all the way from Switzerland, and was craving some quality chocolate.
Thankfully I had read about Edis on Unilocal in advance, otherwise I would never have noticed this small spot, even though I drive by it on the way home often. It is in a very unassuming tiny strip mall on the side of the road.
There was a lone table outside, and two small tables inside to sit at. Otherwise, this place is geared mostly towards takeaway. There is a small glass case near the register which houses their yummy looking in house made specialty pastries, cakes, and chocolates. They also have Brazilian drip coffee on tap which is a good pairing with one of their sweets. For a drip coffee it was pretty good.
The chocolates are not all displayed in their case, you need to ask what flavors they currently have (as they are made fresh in house often). A large gift box is around $ 25, and they mixed and matched with my favorite flavors. As the box was a gift, they gave me a couple of samples to try. I also tried their fresh chocolate dipped biscotti– which wasn’t rock hard! The chocolate truffles are made with Belgium chocolate, and were really good. The flavors really stand out, and not overly sweet. Some of the best US truffles I have had.
The owner is a Brazilian lady, and was incredibly friendly. She even provided me with some ice to ensure my chocolates didn’t melt on the drive home. She also insured that if my gift wasn’t going to be given right away, to put the chocolate box in a Ziploc and put it in my fridge to keep them fresh. She made the experience even more enjoyable.
I will definitely be back to try one of the flourless chocolate tortes!

Just the fact that they are pursuing such a business in a neighborhood on the outskirts of central Austin makes me sincerely admire them for what they do. The chocolate truffles taste very similar to one another despite the fancy names and looks of them. The interior has only two tables and so does the exterior but the friendly service and cute vibe of the place makes up for all this. Their simple chocolates are super delicious and so are their pecan bars. I got the chocolate egg gifted to me for Easter and it had little other chocolates inside. It was such an original and cute idea, I was so impressed. The white and milk chocolates are really good.

I love everything about Edi’s! Their chocolate is excellent, and the French flair interior décor is cute without being over the top. Edi’s is a gem and adds flavor to the Northwest hills area.
The seasonal items are my favorite here, which never fail to be unique and charming. When drinking their coffee, I feel like I’m drinking dark chocolate, it’s so smooth. I suspect the coffee was specially chosen to compliment the chocolate flavor. There’s even a cute handwritten chalkboard menu posted outside the store advertising wares.
The owner, working the register, is always courteous and attentive.
Be aware that seating is extremely minimal. Maybe a quick stop by with a loved one, but this isn’t a place you can stop by to study.
But my girlfriend and I agreed that the truffles all kind of taste the same… like dark chocolate ganache (which is good)… Upon biting, I tasted a quick flash (hint) of flavor, then just dark chocolate. Maybe our palettes are not developed enough. We literally couldn’t tell which truffle was which flavor. But they have lots more besides truffles and it’s all great.
Despite the same-​tasting truffles and minimal seating, I still love this place with a passion. I’m just lucky it’s not on my way to work, otherwise it might affect my waistline…

4.5 Stars
Need some seriously delicious truffles for someone special? Maybe some sort of decadently sweet delicious dessert.. .
Sorry, had to wipe some drool off of my keyboard.
I have two chocolholics in my life and whenever a holiday rolls around or just because, this is my go to place for buy them something. The truffles are wonderful and they have a nice little selection of them for you. They’re all handmade in the kitchen and are sure to elicit little hums of happiness from any chocoholic. Only thing keeping me from giving her 5 stars is that one of the chocoholics likes the combination of sweet/​heat in her truffles and Edis is sometimes lacking in these. But that it no way prevents me from going there and picking up a half dozen truffles.
I have one serious problem with their lemon bar, it’s huge and I can’t stop eating it. Ok, so maybe that is more of my problem. Seriously though it’s a big lemon bar and is my favorite in town. Edis has found that balance between sweet and tart that so many places fail to reach. If only I could make it last over 3 days instead of eating it all at once.
Their chocolate cakes are seriously good also. Don’t know how she does it so well but like the lemon bars she manages to strike the right balance of sweet/​chocolate/​moistness.
Sigh. Trying to cut back on sweets but have a feeling I might be visiting today.
Anyway, Edis does a great job and is worth the trip if you are not in the neighborhood like I am.
