The Chocolate

Bakery · Orem · 212 S State St

The Chocolate is a dessert cafe on State Street in Orem, and the detail that makes it worth a page is the building: scratch-made desserts served inside a converted 1909 mansion broken into seven small dining rooms.

Where it is

At 212 South State Street in Orem, roughly a fifteen-minute drive from central Provo.

Orem runs its own address grid from its own origin point, and it does not line up with Provo's — the same number is a different place in each city. Our guide to how Utah addresses actually work covers why.

What we know about it

That setting is what our coverage keeps returning to. The dessert guide's argument is that the room is the product as much as the cake is, and that a chain dessert shop cannot manufacture seven cozy rooms in a century-old house. It is the site's standing answer for a sit-down finish to an evening, as opposed to the counter-service and delivery tier where Chip Cookies and the cookie shops sit.

Our writing separates two uses. One is the warm cazookie in one of the mansion rooms, which is the date-night version and the reason the fifteen-minute drive gets recommended at all. The other is custom and celebration cakes, where the dessert guide groups it with The Provo Bakery and Bianca's as the local kitchens that take orders by consultation.

Everything we have written about it

This is every page on Provo.com that names The Chocolate, most substantial first. The directory exists to route you into the writing rather than to replace it.

The durable facts, and the ones we refuse to carry

We do not publish opening hours, prices, phone numbers or ratings for any venue in this directory. Those are the facts that go stale, and a directory carrying them is wrong within a season while still looking authoritative. For hours, ask the restaurant.
