The decor is very nice and the coffee prices seem reasonable. I think I might go there for a cup of coffee, but the chocolate is way below average. The chocolates are beautifully wrapped, but it seems to me that you're really paying for the packaging. One of my hobbies is tasting fine dark chocolate. The dark chocolate is only 65%, so it's low on the cacao. The aroma is tepid, the flavor is weak, and the aftertaste was unpleasant. A small square (~10g) cost $1.35 so 100 g would run about $13. There are tons of bars available that are much better than that. Even the widely available Lindt dark chocolates are much better. Bottom line: In the dark chocolate, a poor chocolate is way overpriced because of fancy packaging. I didn't try any milk chocolate because I don't prefer it, so the milk chocolate may be more to other people's liking.
Pros: Very nicely wrapped "present quality" pieces; good variety; friendly owner; nice decor
Cons: Way overpriced. Dark chocolate has a way below average taste.
