I walked in expecting pie. I don't know why. Would this place have cake; does this guy bake?…read more Perhaps Creme Broulee, oh what the hay! To what did my wondering eyes then appear, the familiar face of a chocolatier. A smile so bright, and a charm beyond measure. We had just tumbled in to some Texas style treasure. All the rhyming aside I'm totally wondering why no one has told me about this place. As a person who enjoys eating regularly (ok 4 or7 times a day) I am always looking for something delectable to top my meal off. Something decadent, a dessert that makes me feel like I've just had an out of body experience. The sign out front had the word CHOCOLATE capitalized and so I decided it was time to take the plunge after driving by at least 10 times on the way to school and going to the grocery store. A jovial young man comes out and starts telling us everything. Explaining what this is and what that is. Truffles, Brittle with BACON IN IT (er, uh Squittle that is) and peanut brittle with red pepper flakes in it (Bronco Brittle is what it's called here pardners). He handed me a small white peanutty explosion of flavor that had my eyes rolling into my head. This guy had me. Oh I was totally and undeniably chocolate candy whupped! So as I'm trying to decide what I'm going to buy the candies are still gliding across my taste buds. Is that my leg moving? No I just thought it was. I'm having a reaction of pure bliss and of course this man is totally doing this to draw me further into the chocolate abyss from whence there is no return. Gotta think now. Can't spend my whole paycheck here. I steeled my emotions and I bought a couple of things and took them home. NO I haven't eaten them all yet! HMMMMPH! Of course now I have to find a secret place to hide all this stuff. I wonder if the attic is cool enough to keep these this time of year? Shhhh, don't tell my wife. Everything here is Texas themed and is in no way just a regular type of candy. Yes he makes candy other than chocolate but I'm a chocolate fiend and it is hard to focus on anything else. There was that one piece of candy with the bacon in it though. Now I'm of the opinion that you can add bacon to just about anything and it will be good. Peanut Brittle called Squittle with bacon in it is masterful offering of piggy peanut perfection. I purchased some Tumbleweeds too: a concoction of chocolate and coconut that a put a look of unadulterated ecstasy on my wife's face. Hey I thought I was the only one that could do that?!?! We also bought the Texas Buckshot truffles and they were amazing. These were beyond excellent but the one thing I truly enjoyed was The Original Concho Caramel. Chocolaty coating around a chewy caramel center with pecans. This is 7th heaven kind of stuff. The familiar face I saw there was James Crowder the proprietor. I recognized his face from the countless times I had seen him as salesman of the month, year, century at a realtor many years ago here in town. I wondered where he had gone and now that I know where he is and the amazing talent he is sharing with us here in the Concho Valley I am a customer for life. I've had chocolate brought to me from overseas: Italian, Belgian, French, and Irish and they were great but James has taken chocolate to the next level. He's made Chocolate Texas' next big thing to brag about! Now you know. So go get some! Support your local chocolatier!

They had them delivered on my Dads birthday .. he was just over the Moon. Both of my parents couldn't believe they were sugar free.. THEY WERE DELICIOUS!!!!

A pleasant foodie surprise in San Angelo!…read more I had to come into San Angelo for work and going into the trip, I was not too excited about my food options available to me as a vegetarian...but I did find Buttercup online and it seemed close enough to those "hip, city coffee shops", meaning I should be able to get some decent food! Unfortunately, a lot of their hot sandwich options were off the table since they seemed to have a broken toaster, but I was able to order a hummus veggie sandwich that came with seasoned potato chips, a side salad, and a stick of chocolate. I also got a vanilla cake bite (pop without the stick) and everything was about $18 with tip. I didn't feel like trying any of the drinks, but some of the coffee flavors sounded interesting and they have seasonal flavors too. The ambiance is inviting, and definitely feels like a cozy place for the community to come hang. If you ever find yourself in this part of west Texas, definitely keep this spot in your back pocket for close to healthy eats!

With a wide variety of options, there's no shortage of flavors to suit just about anyone. At 91 degrees in San Angelo, it hit the spot perfectly. The shop itself has a cute, inviting ambience that adds to the experience. That said, the service left a lot to be desired. It felt rushed and impersonal...no warmth, no smiles, just a "get you through the line" kind of interaction. Not quite the friendly small-town vibe you might expect. Unfortunately, that lack of hospitality overshadows the positives, and it's enough to make us think twice about coming back, which is a real shame.

Both times I stayed, I selected the French country room as it was the least expensive. The room was well cooled, which is important in July in San Angelo! The room was clean and the shower had excellent pressure and plenty of hot water. The Internet also worked very well. The bed was so-so; the mattress wasn't very firm which made sitting up to read a bit of a struggle. I did sleep well, and that's the most important fact. Guests have 24 hour access to a kitchen that the innkeepers keep stocked full of snacks and drinks. There is a coffee maker as well as cooking and reheating facilities and a large fridge. Parking is off-street, around back. So I didn't have to worry about my car. Two final words of praise: the inn was quiet and the innkeepers were very friendly.

And they had beer and wine, included in the price which was a pleasant surprise. The location is convenient too if you need to run by the store there is a Walgreen and Walmart nearby. The only downside was the poor wifi but I didn't even care. This was the coolest place I've ever stayed.
