I stopped in based on the recommendation of my friend who lives a few blocks away. We had had lunch down the street and, in talking about the neighborhood, she told me all about Fears' and how it would be up my alley. I had some place to be after our lunch so I hadn't thought I'd be able to stop by but I was also desperately in need of coffee so when I did a Yelp search for java I found that Fears' could provide. It was close to boot so I figured--two birds, one stone! So I popped in.
First, the fella behind the counter was very nice. He had tons of recommendations and also gave me great advice on storing the chocolate. As the reviews (and the photos) say, the selection here is delightful if you like things more in the nerdy/geek realm (as I do). I got a small box of treats including Millennium Falcon and R2D2 shaped milk chocolates, the chocolate covered biscofff cookie (like a Twix bar, I was told) and some truffles. All were fantastic!
Also, to fulfill my coffee + chocolate needs, I got an iced mocha which was great. Good size and the right balance of chocolate, coffee and sweet.
