Cacao & Cardamom

My friend was just telling me about this new chocolate place near work...

Of course, I don't need an excuse to go find new chocolate... yum!

This is a boutique chocolate bar, much like what Arraya had to offer.  Except their chocolate art style is different, but still strive to showcase chocolate from around the world and the artistry of mixing and matching different palette for enjoyment.

Everything is super colorful and the way they display the name is very creative too.  

Ahh, pricing, it cost $2.25 a piece...

Look at the colorful pieces... it's more art than chocolate.  So, I have (from left) Cardamom Rose which has a bit of cardamom and a bit of rose with white chocolate.  Masala Pistachio, I was expecting it'll be spicy, but just a bit of after taste of licorice.  Lavender, which is my favorite, nice and soft.  I vote for it again!  

What I was really there for... the Frozen Drinking Chocolate.  The staff talked me into the milk chocolate version which used this milk chocolate + hazelnut, so it does taste a bit like Nutella.  Sign me up!  It's very delicious, now I would warn you that it is rich, but this non-milkshake and non-frappe is really just what the doctors order.  I will say, this will set you back $5.75, but worth a drink!

I need to go back to try the hot sipping chocolate, which sounds very rich, but that is why it comes in a small cup for you to enjoy because of its intensity.  On top of that, they do serve gelato, despite the fact that they are right next door to a frozen yogurt shop.  That said, they do offer pretty boxes, so just in time for the holiday gift-giving season around the corner.
