After a long afternoon of shopping, I stopped here for an iced coffee. After ordering, I observed the employee scoop ice out of an Island Oasis machine with no scoop and using my coffee cup. The employee spilled some of the ice onto the countertop prior to making the drink. She then used her gloveless hands to pick the ice up off the counter and off a nearby cleaning rag and placed it back in my coffee cup.

So much so that if Jesus hinself came back tomorrow. Instead of giving us bread as his body. He'd be giving us Whetstone truffles!
Whetstone chocolates are not just good for the body, but for the soul as well! So much so that you will fall in love all over again. Where if you stand outside and listening to the words of the wind. You will hear it whisper "Whetstone".
I have never had such wonderful chocolate in my life. And I would make it a point to fly out to St. Augustine just to restock...
