Visited when this store just opened in October. Already lines of expensively clad customers spending big bucks on an expensive treat. This is the place that I aspire to shop at when I'm rich and successful :D
All the boxed chocolate sets are luxuriously wrapped and make a great gift.
Ask to sample the freshly poured chocolate blocks! All their flavors are superb, so it'll be difficult to choose, but at least you'll eat some quality chocolate in the process. It's pricey ($47 per lb), but oh so worth the splurge for special occasions. The chocolate is very rich, buttery, silky, and smooth. You can taste the extra buttery & smooth texture that is incomparable to factory produced chocolate.
We got three "blocks" to savor. The white chocolate with pistachios & caramelized orange, milk chocolate with caramelized hazelnuts, and black chocolate with caramelized hazelnuts, pistachios, & almonds. I am a milk chocolate lover but I have to say that the black chocolate was a definite win for me. White and milk chocolate were too sweet and while delicious, the black chocolate actually had that cocoa bean after taste that is so rich and unique, signifying that you're actually consuming chocolate and not a sweet confection called chocolate. Definitely try the dark chocolate one.
Also, this is me being picky, but white and milk chocolate had too much nuts in them. I love delicious fillings, but I felt that that's how the shop makes money--add more heavy nuts and pour less chocolate. So customers are paying for the hefty weight of the relatively inexpensive nuts, berries, and candy and not for the quality chocolate. Definitely try bars that have less filling to actually get a good taste of the chocolate itself, not just the sugary treats that it's filled with.
