This chocolate shop and frozen yogurt spot glows eerily into the night, in the same shopping plaza…read moreas my local faves Nutrition Wise, Royal Cafe and Al Forno, plus chain faves TJMaxx, Ross and Shoe Carnival. I have to admit that the name turned me off from going in until recently. Tasty Image? Didn't sound like someplace to eat at, just someplace to put in an order for chocolate printed with something on it, which is something I associate with business needs instead of personal hunger!
The well-lit space with free wi-fi and plenty of seating is appealing from outside; I've never actually seen anyone seated there. Cleverly, the tables include giant pilates balls to sit on, which seems cool, though I have to admit they looked in need of a cleaning, compared to the spotless tables and regular chairs next to them.
Upon entering, I realized why you wouldn't want to set up shop there . . . the entire place smells so tantalizingly of chocolate!!! Irresistible! Yes, this shop makes all kinds of specialized chocolate items; friendly folks are actively making things in one side of the store, which was also cool to get a glimpse of. I did feel kind of overwhelmed by the options of specialty chocolate arrayed on two giant displays, but it's definitely worth checking out again. I also felt a little bombarded by the signage hanging everywhere advertising sooo many things- like chocolate making classes, for instance; it is clear that Tasty Image is a very diverse business!
The fro yo is by weight and can be blended up with toppings, a nice touch. I enjoyed their red velvet cupcake flavor, which I've never had before. I also tried the orange slush + vanilla cream combo, which was just ok (unfortunately, I compare all fro yo to Elements in Juno Beach and theirs still tops all). A sign says all the flavors have less than 100 calories per serving- sweet!- but I should have asked what kind of sweeteners are being used.
I purchased a bag of different kind of chocolates for different family members; it's always fun to be a 'kid in a candy shop' choosing all kinds of fun items. I can't imagine walking in here without buying at least one truffle or something; my loved ones ate their chocolates before I had a chance to try, so I'll have to take their word for it: "good."
I didn't stay to eat my yogurt in shop, in part because the only other people in the shop would have been two employees making chocolate a few feet away from the seating area.
It is very cool to have a local chocolate shop in one of Jupiter's oldest plazas.The young man who helped me was genuinely pleasant and upbeat, plus helpful without being pushy; thanks! I feel like this review is only semi-complete until I taste their chocolate, use their wi-fi and seating area, and further peruse their specialty chocolate displays . . . so, I'll be back!
