They have lots of stunning hand-crafted chocolates behind a glass counter. There was a really friendly lady who worked there who gave us the rundown on the most popular goodies. I got 4 chocolates: -Passionfruit dark chocolate -Pot o' Gold (coconut caramel, almonds, milk & dark chocolate) - this was insanely good, my favorite -Macadamia coconut in dark chocolate -Salted caramel almond turtle in dark chocolate (she said this is an all-time best-seller) They have gift boxes for an additional price in case you're getting a gift (this would make an awesome gift!) or a free standard plastic bag if you're getting some for yourself. They're soooo tasty! Definitely worth stopping by!

Always a fun stop when visiting the Ventura Harbor…read more They make such incredible, hand-picked chocolate bars - you pick the chocolate, you pick the toppings, and you can even pick if you want a design on top. They make these bars on the spot, and it's taken no more than 15 minutes each time I've come (and perfect views of the harbor while you wait!). Great for gifts or as a sweet treat. Also really enjoy their chocolate dipped oreos here, which was actually how I discovered this place. They're a great sweet treat after you've grabbed a meal at one of the other restaurants in the harbor. A wonderful stop for tasty chocolate or gifts for friends and family.

Chocolate, Chocolate and more Chocolate!…read more A bright and very nice store full of wonderful chocolate. They have pre made bar combos of milk, dark, white chocolate and sugar free. They have small bags with pieces of various chocolates with different toppings. The fun part is picking out your own plain chocolate bar and choosing from dozens of additions. From dried fruit to nuts and caramel and peanut butter chips, and much more. You can customize any bar with a name, logo and more. The staff were so helpful, answering lots of question. They made delicious recommendations and were very patient and sweet.

As someone who has traveled to Europe many times and tried a variety of local chocolatiers there,…read morethe huge stream of 5-star reviews (and finding out the owners were French) had me ecstatic. However, my experience was disappointing. The two girls in the shop were almost asleep. One was barely conscious, the other was trying to make up for her. The chocolates looked very interesting, but they were rather dull-looking and often hard to differentiate because the display case had no lights. Add to this the already dim lighting of the store and that it was an overcast day outside, and it felt like trying to buy chocolates in an old library. As for the chocolates themselves, they did not taste like French/European chocolates at all; they had the very standard American chocolate taste-that is, Hershey-like and with no deep resounding real cacao flavor that is like bass from a speaker on your tongue. That's what real European chocolate tastes like. This was just sugar, sugar, sugar, and cute designs. Maybe they are using cheaper American ingredients rather than importing higher quality ones? No point in having the Eiffel Tower on your logo if you wouldn't be able to keep this store open in France. But the best part: the girl at the counter didn't let me try anything other than the three pre-selected types of bon bons on the sample tray! How cheap can you get? I've never had any chocolatier deny a sample of a simple truffle, especially not one with the gall to charge $3 per chocolate in a tiny town like Carp! $35 for a dozen, just to not even be able to try what you are putting in the box? You must be joking. Anyways, onto trying to find another good chocolatier in the 805...

My goal is try to every single chocolate, at least one time (if not several times over). I feel as though time stands still when I am in his shop and in particular when I am having my chocolate experience. I savor every bite and feel an unexplanable euphoria of flavors in my mouth and pleasure coursing through my veins. If you love small batch, hand-made, top quality and innovative marriage of flavors of chocolates....this is the place you should make your pilgrimage to. Get the chocolates in a bag to save a few dollars if you are getting them for yourself, otherwise they have different sized boxes to give as a gift.

In terms of their stationery, which is what I'd be most interested in, they have a very small selection of Japanese stationery, Field Notes, and Rifle Paper, among other small journals and other items.

If I lived in the area I'd definitely be back.

They have such interesting merchandise including an assortment of unique gift cards, maps, pictures, stylish hats, scarves, and rare books to name just a percentage of what they have to offer. The sales associate was very friendly and helpful. He even tried on a hat I wanted to buy my husband and was concerned about the size. He let me know they take returns within 30 days with the receipt and original tagging. Fortunately it fit! This amazing shop is on Main Street which is closed to through traffic. There is free publick parking just down the street at the Museam of Ventura County. It is also in a great location for other speacialty stores and eateries.
