Hatch Family Chocolates

There was so many things I couldn’t decide haha so I ended up having the honey almond ice cream and it was everything I expected it had an awesome hint of honey not too strong or not too little just enough and of course after thought I got myself a brownie pretty good gooey and amazing

We love Hatch’s because they are so convenient. We were delighted to find the local hot chocolate, ice cream, and chocolate shop just around the corner from our home. Perhaps not worth a lengthy out of the way trip, but definitely a delight to those of us who live nearby. My wife and I usually cycle through the flavors by sharing a double scoop of complimentary different flavors; liking some better than others. But all have been good.
We are fans and will continue to enjoy.

We were in the mood for some ice cream after a long day of hitting some of the tourist attractions around the city. Saw the reviews and since it was close we decided to swing by.
After sampling a few of the ice cream choices we decided to have some of the Wild Huckleberry as we weren’t in the mood for anything too heavy. We also purchased a lot of the (dark) chocolate dipped fruits (pear, ginger, apricot, orange peel, and pineapple if I remember correctly) to sample.
Everything was pretty good but didn’t wow me that much as there are a lot of these small, specialty chocolate and/​or ice cream shops in most big cities. I wouldn’t go out of my way to return but wouldn’t be upset if I happened to stop by again either.

Great place for fun desserts, ice cream, chocolates (duh) and hot cocoa. We tried a bit of everything I just mentioned.
Went right before Valentine’s Day. There were great ideas. The ladies behind the counter were very patient and accommodating with my 2 indecisive boys.

We came here for chocolates, and ended up buying ice cream too; I’m glad we did! All of their products were delicious and totally worth the trek of going downtown. The chocolate is very tasty and have some very unique flavors. The Aztec had some chili powder on it which was really nice! We’re 30 minutes away from this place, so we were happy our efforts paid off. We’ll be back for sure!

Menu says you can add whipped cream & cherry to a sundae for 50¢. We got our son a Kid’s Scoop so wife asks: «can we add whipped cream and a cherry to that for 50¢?» Employee looks to other employee: «can we?» Other employee: «whipped cream but not the cherry.» Thought they were joking but it was for real. No cherry for junior.
All of this goes to high costs here. It would be all fine and good, but the ice cream quality does not match the batshit insane prices. At over $ 4 for a SINGLE SCOOP, the ice cream would literally have to induce orgasm to be worth it; and I’m not sitting in a warm puddle. Don’t get me wrong. It’s good. Maybe very good. But that’s all. The chocolates may be another story. My wife finds them exceptional and worth the cost.
I dunno. Atmosphere in here is kinda cold and depressing to me. Location is convienent for us and the patio is nice in summer. I’ll keep coming back because my wife loves it.

After enjoying Hatch for over 5 years, it was definitely time to update my review.
You can’t beat their house made ice cream and hot fudge. Best place to get a sundae in Salt Lake City. I also enjoy their hot chocolate.
Their chocolates make for a nice gift. Go and support this local place when you’re in the mood for dessert.

We come here for the pot de cream. It’s incredible. We’ve tried other chocolates there and it is good. But the pot de cream is just off the hook. My husband and brother in law love the hot chocolate.

Hands down the best Hot Chocolate in town. Seriously. It was snowing cold outside, so the very first sip felt like I was dipped into a pool of soul-​warming chocolate from the inside. I almost wanted to moan in delight but it wouldn’t have been appropriate with a group of innocent underage teenagers nearby.
If you’re wondering how it tastes, it is rich and chocolatey, milky with a hint of bitter dark chocolate and just the right amount of sweetness. I peeked under the cover and I noted a floating scoop of cold whipped cream. This explains the occasional cold rush of creamy and very subtle salty flavor as the quenelle melts away.
In short, it is pure heaven in your mouth.
I made a mistake though, by having the drink with Pot de Crème. Don’t get me wrong. This chocolate pudding is delightful. It is like the gooey version of the Hot Chocolate. Which means by the time I finished having both, I was already in serious chocolate coma.
I wish they had other snacks varieties. Perhaps warm chocolate croissant or pastries that go well with their chocolate theme but not too overpowering with chocolate to avoid chocolate coma. I mean, people make efforts to come here, so they would want to linger. Having a non-​hardcore chocolate offerings would definitely help.
Before you leave, checkout their cute parking violation reminder at the parking lot. I for one wouldn’t mind being battered, deep-​fried and dipped in chocolate, even more than risking having my vehicle towed, so that reminder probably doesn’t help much lol.

Came here because my friend told me that a lot of people say this place has one of the best hot chocolate ever. Let me tell you that it wasn’t a disappointment. From their desserts to their drinks, it’s all chocolate and all delicious. They also do offer ice cream right here.
I ordered their hot chocolate and it was super rich and thick. They do put whip cream in there that cool the hot chocolate a bit and makes it less scalding hot. I ordered the dark hot chocolate and added bitter orange flavor ($.50 extra) to it. The combination was super great.
I also got to try their pot de cream and it was super delicious. It is creamy and very rich in chocolate. Let me do tell you though that after eating chocolate and also drinking chocolate, you get a sugar rush. Also your taste buds will be so sweet that you taste sugar for a while.
I do think this place is good, but just control yourself with the chocolate. It will be good for your sugar blood control, and help you save money. This place is kind of pricey.

We were craving some hot chocolate so we stopped by the hatch’s family place and it was delicioso!
the hot chocolate was really hot but it was really thick and goooood.
You can choose Vegan, milk or dark chocolate.
The price is a little bit expensive though for people who haven’t won the powerball

I’ve been here several times. Do yourself a favor and get the hot chocolate, it’s unreal. It is rich so don’t worry about getting a big one, just sip and enjoy.

I have been here many times over the last decade. I always look forward to getting an authentic cup of home made hot chocolate. The hatchs are very nice people and they are master chocolatiers. The neighborhood it’s located in is really trendy and fun. It is just a short walk from a great view of the Capitol building as well. I love coming here with people that have never been because they are always amazed at how good the chocolate is and what a fun environment the shop is. There aren’t really any other places like this in salt lake. It really is a hidden gem in Utah that is sure to impress anyone who hasn’t heard of it or been before.

We’ve heard a lot about the hot chocolates and the high prices… so, we had to see for ourselves! A 10 oz hot chocolate costs $ 5.98. We thought it was pretty good. You decide for yourself if it is worth it or not. The décor was lacking. Gave the feel of a business just starting out in its first year. The place is traditional for families, I get it. Just wished the store emitted a more permanent feel, not just temporary hype.

It really was the best hot chocolate I’ve had. But it was very expensive and the line was so long that we ended up finishing our hot chocolate before we made it through the line to pay – hence 4 stars.

Went there on Saturday. Has the best hot chocolate in utah. Make sure to get two scoops of whip cream. kind of expensive for a hot chocolate but worth it.

We love ice cream, well I do and my hubby is happy to eat it too. This was good but not the best I’ve ever had.
He got a waffle cone with espresso and I got a cup of chocolate with peanut butter cookie dough. The espresso wasn’t very strong, just a general coffee flavour. My one was pretty good. For about $ 4.50 a scoop I was expecting a little more than what we got.
I also tasted the apricot & a honey almond one. They were both ok but not great.

Amazing amazing amazing. Cool spot good vibe awesome owners great chocolate and fun spot. You can always tell how a place is by the people sitting down and that place is full of hipster college kids a definite good sign

The chocolate is the best around, and their ice cream is terrific, but I’m addicted to their caramel lattés! They make their caramel in house – and it’s always spot on. They also make an ice cream flavored with one of Avenues Proper’s beers – it’s not always available, but if it’s there when you stop in, do not pass that up. Super delicious!

I don’t understand why this place has such great reviews! My best guess is that people are infatuated with their hot chocolates that I haven’t tried.
Being a chocolate lover and enthusiast, I’m always eager to try new treats, especially when it’s a small, local business! I was sadly and highly disappointed with this place, as I’ve heard so much hype about it throughout the years!
I have eaten a lot of chocolate and from several types of places; small, large, local, family, corporate, domestic, foreign, pricey, and cheap. I know and love my chocolate! Sadly, everything I tried was ridiculously too sweet and gritty. It tasted very low quality which was shocking since the prices were on par and even more expensive than some of the best chocolate I have ever had, including the most amazing and freshest from Switzerland!
The staff wasn’t kind, nor were they rude, but this place was nothing special. Everytime I have been here, I left feeling a bit sad as I had high hopes and this place has so much more potential! Their selection was kind of boring and not very appealing, the displays weren’t attractive and neither was the chocolate. The pieces looked rushed and definitely not attractive as they should be.
The fudge wasn’t very good, it was gritty, too soft, and not smooth. I’ve made fudge and know how tricky and temperamental it can be to make. Fudge should never be sold when it isn’t correct and doesn’t firm well and it is gritty. So far, the Chocolate Covered Wagon (in Sandy) has the best fudge I’ve found in the Valley.
I may give this place another try, as I always hope for improvement and haven’t really had a terrible experience here. Maybe I’ll try the infamous hot chocolates that they offer next time.

Wow! The espresso ice cream was so good, it gave me the chills.
Chocolate covered strawberries were nothing special.
Aztec salted Carmel chocolate was amazing !!!

It’s best I write this while I’m still on the post-​Hatch sugar high, otherwise I might tell you to stay away. Certainly your diet (and probably your wallet) would benefit from that advice. Alas, my blood sugar is still around 4 million, so I’m going to succumb to the call of the glucose and tell you to get you some chocolate.
Truthfully, the way to think about this place is less about the chocolate, and more about a dessert stop. It’s probably just as much an ice cream parlor as it is a place to get chocolates. Located in the Avenues up on 8^th, it’s an uphill jaunt from downtown, right next to the hospital. Parking can be tricky at peak hours, and although it has a parking lot and some street parking (beware the small no parking zones on the street) it fills up, especially as it shares a parking lot with the restaurant next door.
the building is new (I believe that they built it? Don’t quote me…) and it’s sparsely decorated. Sort of a metallic sheen on things, with wall art and a couple of big chalk boards with the treats listed. Then there’s the big cases of chocolates. They’re really not the stars, though; it’s an ice cream shop and a place to drop in for a treat. There are two ice cream cases with lots of tradition and not so traditional (almond honey, anyone) flavors. You can get sundaes, floats, banana splits, cones, scoops, shakes, malts, and so on). Consider the hot chocolate, too. It’s basically like smooth, rich melted chocolate served with a generous scoop of whipped cream. Swiss Miss it ain’t. Fat free it ain’t. Delicious, it certainly is. They also do a frozen version for the hot days.
I got a banana split, which was massive. It had three scoops of my choice of ice creams (I chose chocolate/​peanut butter/​cookie dough, salted caramel, and a cherry choco chip called Crimson Chip. They serve it in a tall cup and not a glass, and it has cut up bananas on top and bottom, whipped cream, nuts, chocolate, and caramel. I think it’s $ 7 out the door, and actually quite the massive dish for the price. Or you can get a sundae, and choose a single or double. The single runs about $ 4 and the double around $ 6. The hot fudge brownie sundae also looked to be an intimidating delight, and I want to try a shake.
I didn’t even try a truffle, or chocolate, or turtle, or any prepared good. I guess that means I need to return. But I will spend a few hours on the treadmill before then, because seriously, this is a total indulgence.

Oh, Hatch’s. This is the corner chocolate shop everyone wishes they had in their neighborhood. Luckily for me, it’s a block from my house and they sell chocolate in every form.
The upside to stopping in every day is that I don’t need to commit to a whole box although I’m always tempted to order their biggest size. Their ice cream is also made in-​house and rotates every week. It keeps things interesting but mostly I look forward to the days that they’ve made their salted caramel ice cream. It’s the perfect flavor when I want to celebrate something or cry like a lunatic into my pillow.
And their milk hot chocolate drink is what I imagined Augustus Gloop tasted in Gene Wilder’s beautiful little chocolate paradise. It is like the creamiest chocolate drink. I have had a few friends tell me it’s too rich for them. But that’s fine because I usually get their cast offs. Last thing, they have Magic Mondays, which I would love to attend in full face paint but I have to remind myself to keep my inner kook at bay. Definitely check this place out if you’re needing a chocolate fix.

I enjoyed their ‘Chocolate Almond’ — it comes in either dark or milk chocolate (get the milk chocolate), topped with an almond, and filled with caramel and coconut. The milk chocolate was awesome, the filling was awesome, and it totally fulfilled my chocolate craving. I’ve also had their turtle and that was alright (they sure don’t skip out on the nuts, though!). Mmm.
