wow! what a treat. if you like chocolate, this place will treat you to something you've never had before, certainly. i've gotta say, from the truffles to the drinking chocolate, everything was outstanding. the service was also great, super friendly and they know what they're doing, giving you plenty of time to browse the cases, which i really appreciate. with spots like this, i can sometimes feel rushed. not here. they're all about you enjoying yourself. also appreciate the attention to allergies right off the bat
i sampled a couple of the drinking chocolate and settled on the one with many different herbs and spices, the zapoteca. they hit at different times, giving you sweet fennel in one moment, spicy chile in another, complex bitterness from herbs... all amazing. i didn't get any whipped cream and only got a small. i'm not sure who the bigger sizes are for, but with the richness of it, 4oz was plenty! it's wild - i had this before dinner, ate dinner, and at the end of the night, all i could taste was chocolate still. amazing quality product they sell here.
now onto the truffles. i had planned on eating these during my stay, but somehow didn't have the stomach capacity for them until i got home. they traveled well and were just as enjoyable a few days later. i had the goat cheese and sage (so so smooth, and that slight savory component is amazing), red chile caramel (nice and spicy, and the perfect toothsome caramel texture), mezcal (honestly way more flavor here achieved than most other liquor-flavored bonbons i've had. very impressed) and our favorite, the pinon caramel. just a great texture all around. i could have eaten 12.
highly recommend. i came just before close, but still enjoyed their little patio.
