chocolate shop

it's got a wide variety of organic and fair trade chocolate. And the fun stuff for gifts too.

your nose will guide you. WARNING - you may purchase more than you planned to. Making a decision about what to take home is agonizing because you will want to buy everything.

The aroma is bewitching as soon as you enter, and it impossible to not be tempted by the treats (mmm chocolate and lemon rind). Chocolate is serious business here -- baskets are used to handle the wares to prevent meltage. You can view the chocolate lab through large glass windows at the back, and they have wonderful gelato.

There are moments in life when everything just stops. That's what happens when I sip Soma's Aztec hot chocolate. It's makes things stop. And stopping is good from time to time, methinks.

This shop makes everything on-site and you can see the whole process through glass windows. Amazing truffles and packaged chocolate (milk and dark), chocolate-covered nuts, handmade toffee and gelato. I challenge anyone to visit this shop and NOT buy anything.
