Testimonials

Oh yum. I walked in here as if my feet were powered by some unknown force. Chocolates were beautiful!!! I tried several and my favorite was the passionfruit caramel- just divine. The coffee was good, but the chocolate! They also have terrific marketing chocolates- that can be made with your business' logo which are very elegant. Yummy treat and adorable spot ( like most things in SB). Next time I will plan to bring some home. Oh- they also have gelato! :-)
