I’ve walked past this place plenty. A stranger to town brought by a work commitment. Was shy to enter as it looked a bit flash for me. I thought pretentious. Yesterday with a moment to spare I went in. I’m thinking I was drawn i, it was so weird. It was spontaneous, I’m hoping it was the universe trying to tell me something. Immediately my senses were captured by delicious intoxicating aroma. I left with a salted caramel slice. Mon dieu it was so honest. I savoured that over two nights. I came back next afternoon for a hot chocolate and a treat, passion fruit slice delight. I had planned to bring a friend but they had another commitment. I sat read my book and enjoyed these delights in a lovely chair in front of a precious table. It was bliss. I complimented the ladies there. The honesty of the product, the generosity of hospitality and comfort was priceless. I beat myself for my shallow first impression from the footpath, the universe revealed the truth. I shared the story and I’m sure I was forgiven, as only truly good people genuinely can. I know now my mind was not right at that time, shallow, I was restored by this delightful place, a good place of wonderful energy. Please step inside and be among friends you too will...
Read moreI had been past this place a few times and hadn't gone in because I thought it was a chocolate shop, which it is, but I discovered that it is so much more! When going past this week I saw a woman coming out of the shop holding a takeaway coffee cup, which caught my eye because I was on the hunt for a coffee. It was mid afternoon and the cafes I had approached in the area had closed, or were closing. As soon as I entered this shop I knew it was something special. There is a huge array of all things chocolate, as well as various hot chocolate option, coffee and some inspired looking slices and cakes. The seating is spacious and looks comfortable, although I wanted to stay, immersed in another world, I had to get a takeaway coffee and get on my way. The coffee was very good and made hot, which is something to remark on because I find coffee is frequently served not what I consider to be hot. I look forward to returning to try a delicious looking treat and to sit and soak in the sensory experience created by a shop full of chocolate and other...
Read moreGreat coffee and chocolate desserts! I like their cappuccino and their Mars, Snicker, and Salted Caramel chocolate bars. Alternative milks are available, including almond, oat and soy. They also offer a few sandwiches and wraps. Plenty of indoor and fully-covered outdoor seating available, all with nice-sized tables and good lighting. Clean, cozy, well-lit atmosohere with friendly, helpful and efficient staff. No silly payment surcharges when paying by card, which I very much appreciate and keeps me coming back since I like to support honest, price-transparent businesses. The only thing missing is a chocolate croissant (pain au chocolat), which they surprisingly don't offer, which is strange since it would pair so nicely with the coffee, especially at a chocolate store. Either way, a very pleasant experience, so I will keep coming...
