Review date: October 2010

I have to start by saying that Carlos and I are bittersweet chocolate fans. We were rather disappointed on our Pacific NW trip when we found the vast majority of desserts and pastries were more Midwestern-oversugared compared to our preference for a minimum of sugar.

Therefore, we are Northern CA’s Michael Recchiuti chocolate fans, not Europe’s Leonidas or Godiva. But a walk through Victoria brought us here at just the right moment to need a revivifying dose of hot chocolate and a couple of mochas.

To our surprise, this small but attractive chocolatier makes not only marvelous chocolate drinks, but also offers a European-style dark chocolate that is less sweet than the norm. They have wonderful, unusual flavors for their truffles and chocolate creams.

Not cheap, but definitely worth the time to stop in and savor some top-quality chocolate, solid or liquid!
