This place really does cause a stir. Initially I thought I'd just go off my most recent positive experience but after a light google I realized that there really is more to say about The Blue Cat Fine Chocolates. The truth needs to be said.
So, my most recent experience at The Blue Cat was really positive. We browsed the array of delectable, beautifully presented chocolates. The service staff was welcoming but not particularly personable. For reasons I'll disclose later I decided to ask a few questions. I began to query the woman about the chocolate cooking classes they had on offer. Initially she was pretty vague but was quite clear in insisting that emailing the person in charge would alleviate all of my concerns. A friend of mine purchased two small pieces of chocolate before leaving, which I was able to steal a bite from. I have to admit that the chocolate is quite delicious and well worth the gourmet price tag.
Over five years ago I went to The Blue Cat as a high school lad and I had a totally different experience. The woman at the counter treated us very poorly for absolutely no reason. A friend of mine approached the counter during the incident and the woman barked, "don't maul at the counter". In this moment I tried to ask the woman to calm down and raised my arms to my chest before she snapped, "don't raise your hands at me". After that we left immediately, intent on never returning again.
So, here I am five years in the future unsure of what to tell you. I can tell you that my most recent experience was quite exceptional and the product was delicious. I can also tell you that I also had the most shocking customer service related moment of my life here. In addition, one merely has to google The Blue Cat Fine Chocolates and you'll find an array of contrasting reviews that essentially say what I am telling you. The people running The Blue Cat may be a little eccentric but I don't know if that necessarily justifies their behavior. For the adventurous shoppers out there I encourage you to go to The Blue Cat, grab something sweet and share your story, cause I have a feeling each encounter with the lions at The Blue Cat will be different. I do hope they purr sweetly for you. read more
