A French woman who had just left the store and saw us admiring the storefront goodies in the window…read moredisplay told us they had wonderful Nocciolini di Chivasso. We weren't sure what they were but she spoke so well of the Nocciolini from this shop that we stopped in to buy some. Chivasso is known for these special little, tiny cookies made from sugar, egg whites, and hazelnuts from the Piedemonte area. We bought a couple for presents and the Torta di Nocciole. So yummy! The mini eclairs weren't what we'd hoped but everything else was great!

Once inside the shop, you can peruse the lovely embossed chocolates displayed like jewels in cases. Also on the shelves are bags and boxes readily available for quick purchase. When I entered the shop, the staff kindly offered my a sample of two varieties of gianduja chocolate that they were famous for. I decided to enjoy something cold to drink in their internal cafe. This delightful room is A-i-r C-O-N-D-I-T-I-O-N-E-D !!! On the very very hot day I was window-shopping I had to have a cold chocolate drink at the Gobino cafe. The service isn't that good, as the staff remain in the front boutique area. So I have to go and ask about ordering a drink. There is a lovely booklet menu to choose your options. I got a chocolate shake and was presented with the drink as well as a small ceramic tray holding two pieces of chocolate/gianduja candy. How lovely. I slowly drank my shake and perused the chocolate and food literature that was on the shelves. This is a great place to pass the time of day. You avoid the heat here and also have many chocolate treats to choose from. Delicioso!

Honestly the bread here is not great, it's kind of tasteless. I tried multiple times in our stay and it come up flat. Also one morning I bought a baguette and by 2pm it was rock hard 3.5 stars for their sit down section. The service is pretty slow and the layout of the tables is horrendous, especially because most people are in chunky ski outfits. But the hot chocolate is amazing! Definitely check this place out, the pastries are beyond worth it.
