Mon Ami Chocolat has slowly won me over as a fan. My first visit it would have earned 3 or 4 stars. A varied selection of chocolates from around the world fills this store....
But that is only the beginning! At the back of the store you can find (seasonally) a drinking chocolate bar that makes the cold Pittsburgh winters infinitely more bearable.
Beside this, and especially welcome in the summer months is their Gelatto bar. I lamented the fact that my favorite flavor was nowhere to be found - Fig. Upon a later visit, much to my surprise, there it was! A fantastic treat that I can't recommend enough.
Another time I remarked that they had most of the chocolates from one particular company, but not specific one I had grown up loving... by my next visit, they had it behind the counter for me. (I hadn't special ordered it). I can't praise this kind of service enough! (apparently I wasn't the only one who asked, and it definitely took some doing to get this particular product imported.) Right then they won me over.
Only one product I'm still looking for here, when they start carrying Mekupelet, I'll be a customer for life. (Cadbury Flake doesn't count!)
