Introduction
Taking a stroll in Kentlands after a dinner at Yoyogi, my boyfriend and I came upon SPAGnVOLA Chocolatier. At first, we walked by, noticing there were many people inside. Later on our way back, we decided why not try the place. As they say, a place that is filled with many people means that the food must be good. Plus I have a really bad sweet tooth, so I was excited to have dessert! Once inside, there is an intoxicating smell of chocolates.

Food
This place has bon bons, truffles, other chocolate desserts and gelato. Since this is a chocolatier, we decided on trying the types of chocolate gelatos. There were unique flavors such as chipotle chocolate gelato as well as vanilla bourbon gelato. The Chipotle chocolate was spicy! It had a kick to it. The vanilla bourbon one only had a hint of bourbon. I couldn't taste the bourbon, but my boyfriend could. We ended up deciding on a rum chocolate with caramel gelato and I myself, got a berry gelato.  I would have been more daring and got the chipotle chocolate gelato, but I wasn't so sure I was able to eat so much of it...Yes I know, I chickened out! The rum chocolate with caramel gelato was rather liquidity and too soft. The berry gelato was OK. Nothing speical nor great about it. They had samples of their chocolates and chocolate bars by the register. Honestly, the chocolate wasn't anything different than just a Hershey's kiss. The only thing is, it was alot softer...but for the price, to me it wasn't worth it. Eating 3 pieces of the sample saves me about $3.00. That is why we didn't get any of the pieces of chocolates.

Overall
I would most likely never come back to this place. One thing that was unexpected was the fact that the lady who "scooped" us the gelato was  really CHEAP! Instead of piling the small cup, she made sure to take the FLAT scooper and made sure we only got an cup full. Can you say CHEAPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP? Once we saw what she did, we knew we would NEVER come back. We walked away disappointed and felt ripped off. My rating for this place...1/5. Nice try. I think it will close down in 3 months if it doesn't change its customer service.

I forgot to take a picture... but here are two that I found.
