I was not all that impressed with the service. I'd appreciate a smiling attendant. However I also understand people do the best they can in the service industry and that doesn't always invite or render a smile.
First time I checked out this place it was with a friend, who purchased the demello coffee beans they were selling at the time. They have since ceased sales of the coffee and are strictly Chocolate de kat. In and around my first visit, my friend purchased the pistachio raspberry bon bon and I had to go back, within that week I returned and purchased the same one. IT WAS HEAVEN!
The chocolate bon bons... Bons bons seem to be all the rage these days... I prefer truffles tbh and while tasty these bon bons are, I gotta say I likely will not be getting them anytime soon again. I will admit there is an artistry to creating such pretty, perfect round chocolate treats... The images in their legend booklet describing the flavours look identical to the bon bons when they are halfed... Such an art I tell ya!
Today I purchased, a Stollen, a Florentine, Salted Caramel, Salted Pistachio and Raspberry Dark.
The Stollen had a bit of alcohol in it. Not a fan of that aspect of it, yet it was tasty. Gingerbready and delicious. I wish I would've known about the alcohol though. The Florentine was nutty, fruity, salty and imo well balanced. Salted caramel, is hard to mess up... Very delicious! The salted pistachio was noticeably pistachio-ey yet could've also used an extra punch of pistachio flavour. It's got to be strong man! And saving the best for last.... That Raspberry Dark was my favourite by far and the only one worth purchasing especially at over $2.00 a pop.
With that being mentioned, they cost a pretty penny. Being a specialty chocolate, it can be expected. A box of 4 comes out to $13.50 or so and the one individual I got cost $3.50... yikes. Perhaps because 2 of them being seasonal flavours (Florentine and stollen) they are priced a little higher... Oh captilasim and turning a dollar at Xmas time... What joy!
Either way I would not have known had I not experienced any of this. So I am happy I purchased them afterall.
Also their raspberry pistachio, one of their classics is another favourite of mine that is worth the investment. It wasn't available today yet when it is, that one is an absolute MUST!
All the best and enjoy! read more
