My Must Get items are...
1. The Mocha Latte. It is soooo rich!!! More like a european style hot chocolate with espresso. Unlike most place where it's just a latte with a squirt of crappy Hershey's. Ask them for the sea salt, add a generous pinch and prepare your taste buds for a rare treat. I know salt sounds gross (I hate the sea salt coffee at 85 degrees) but in this drink it really enhances the chocolate. Best Latte I've ever had!
2. Chocolate covered marshmallows. I know it sounds like it's for kids, but this is a more complex version that the adult pallate will enjoy. It has a layer of nice caramel and pecans and I love the lil crunchy specks of vanilla bean in the marshmallow. Buy the big box, they're addictive.
3. The Barcelona bar. It's just a damn good chocolate bar.
4. The spicy toffee, I forget the name of it but it has cinnamon and chile pepper and it's got a great crunch. It's very unique.
The truffles are a letdown. Im used to Teuscher, which makes some seriously quality truffles imported from Switzerland and the ones here can not compare. The outer shell is way too thick and hard and the ganache just seems cheap and lacks richness. Pricey chocolate should taste like pricey chocolate. The descriptions all sound neat but in actuality the only one that really seems special is the Rooster. The choc shell is not too thick and hard on this one.
The people who work here are awesome and they always remember us.
