| - this space is quite large, housing its kitchen, a small seating area and a vast collection of cookies, chocolate, chocolate infused things, covered things, sprinkled things and other traditional cookies and pastries made with their beans.
ive had their famous mayan spicy shot which, for me, though interesting, was too sweet, or too concentrated a taste, too spicy maybe. but i tried it more for the experience than for the particular ingredients involved. though i read in someone elses review that you can get it in milk chocolate. id try that. id also try the olive oil and balsamic choices. its nice for a place like this to shatter its audiences usual expectations of what foods go together and introduce alternate combinations.
that being said, if you have a more traditional palette, something as simple as english toffee, milk chocolate and almonds is grand canyon man. ive just eaten a little of it so far. must savour. must never stop the orgasm. must get some more after done writing. must stop losing ability to b kohearentttt....
(taking chocolate eating break...regaining consciousness)
okay, where were we...yes. their truffles selection is very varied. i havent seen any other chocolate place within the city that has as many choices. and you will pay for it. twice as much. ive gone other places and paid less than a buck for truffles. yet this is the distillery, the rents are probably obscene and so then become the prices as well. i paid 7 bucks for my treat - but it was just that for me - a treat. this is not a place where you go everyday...and if you eat chocolate every day....then you have a different kind of problem to address.
but for presents, periodic indulgences, romantic sojourns, this is a nice stop.
