For area chocolate lovers, this place is simply a must. To start, the selection is huge. While Bar & Cocoa carries local chocolate (Rhyme & Reason and Eigen), it also boasts bars from Europe, Southeast Asia, and any number of places in between. If you want a simple dark bar, they have that, and if you want something spicy or liquor-infused, they have that too. Mini-bars, gift, sets, drinking chocolate? Yes, yes, and yes.
Next, Bar & Cocoa offers a welcoming environment. They do a lot of their business through online orders, but the storefront is hardly an afterthought. The manager is helpful and outgoing. Plus, there will usually be samples and free drinking chocolate on hand for the hungry and curious.
Prices vary, but you get what you pay for. If a Hershey's bar is your norm, Bar & Cocoa's offerings will invite sticker shock, but if you've had better quality stuff, then spending $10 on a bar won't seem outrageous.
Whether you are a chocoholic or know someone who is, Bar & Cocoa is well worth a visit. read more
