First impression: where am I.
I stepped through the door and bam - that's it.
The lighting cast a yellowy tint and illuminated the one display case that had held 2 lonely boxes of chocolates that I couldn't even tell were chocolates because the boxes were all closed up and covered...how do I know what I'm buying? :(
Added to the strangeness of my experience here the fact that nobody else was in the room. And by that I don't mean that there were no other customers; I mean that nooo one was there. No worker. I felt alone. Like an intruder in this strange chocolate world.
But THEN a woman appeared from behind an obscure curtain (Wizard of Oz-style people).
She was friendly though. No wrath of the great and powerful Oz felt here.
It's just....I had no idea how to order. I came in with the intent of buying just one little chocolate of theirs, but they don't so much cater to this. There were no display cases of delicious looking chocolates to peruse as I had been anticipating. And there were no little chocolate maps/menus..sadness.
Basically what you do is tell them how maaaany chocolates you want and they'll determine which kinds you get. And they don't too readily tell you what chocolates you're getting unless you ask...weird again.
Now the actual quality of the two truffles I ended up with was just fine. Decent chocolates for sure. But given the bizarre nature of the actual shop and the "just okay-ness" of the truffles, I won't be rushing back.
