It is a truth universally acknowledged that women love chocolate. Be it white, milk, or dark, wrapped up in a box, paper, or as a kiss, chocolate reigns supreme.
And so, with this logic, when the time came to catch up on some late Christmas gifting, I went to Románicos. After all, I went to get cute gifts for three wonderful women in my life: my boss, my work mom, and my friend's mom, all who I am extremely grateful to have in my life.
I had originally gone on January 2nd hoping to start the year off right, but when I arrived, I saw a sign saying they were closed for inventory. Still, I vowed to come back and come back I did.
Finally, I went back this past week and I was attended right away by the sweet Anais. She spoke to me about the store's history, how far in advance to make orders, and even about a rewards program. She happily pointed me to not only take a sample, but she gave me a free piece of a dark chocolate filled with coconut.
Now if you know me, I hate coconut, but when you ask for a recommendation and that's what you're told to try, you go for it. And so, I took a bite and fell in love. It was a delicate little morsel of deliciousness, the type that I dream of day in and day out.
Now dreaming or not, one thing's for certain. In two words: pure craftsmanship. That's what these chocolates are. Yes, they're a bit pricey, but you get what you pay for. This is divine quality. These chocolates are worthy of everything. They are decadent, luxurious, and in a word: beautiful. Each piece is handcrafted to sheer perfection and even the throw-outs, those not meeting their standards, are amazing. Note these chocolates are called irregularities.
Aside from the irregularities and gift sets, they have coffee, chocolate bars, and snacks. There is something for all. Most chocolates here are dark chocolate, but if you want something different, make a call. I'm sure they'll delight in making it for you.
With that said, in a nutshell - go, go, go. You won't regret it. Why? Because this chocolatier is three things. In three short bursts, this chocolatier is... Exceptional. Enthralling. Exquisite. Hence, what are you waiting for? Go, go, go!
