| - Location: In the Distillery district.
The place: While the space IS fairly big, I don't think it's big enough for the number of visitors they receive! That said, they've split out the gelato counter from the chocolate counter so things do move efficiently. You will also found pre-packaged chocolate/bars on the floor.
The goods: I'm an avid fan of chocolate. My friends will tell you - and they'll tell you that I'm a total snob, too. My immediate reaction to the first bite: Oh f**k... this is GOOD. My friend laughed at the expression on my face. If you're looking for quality chocolate, in a a variety of unique flavours, Soma is the place to find it. They make their own chocolate and it is goddamn good. You'll find flavours such as Vietnamese Coffee, Pistachio Crisp, Bergamot, Douglas Fir and so on. They are truly exceptional. You can also find bars and other assorted chocolate things. I really have nothing else to say except, get your asses down there!
Service: Very good. The clerk who served me was friendly and patient.
Price point: Not cheap. If you're selecting your own individual pieces, you're looking at $2 a piece. I'm not sure how much the bars and bags were but if I recall, these seemed pretty reasonable. If you want to treat yourself, or your boyfriend was an ass and he needs to make it up to you, this'll make for a splurge =-D
