If you have a sweet tooth that can only be resolved by a truly refined dessert this is the place to go! With tons of exotic varieties on their ever changing menu, there's something for everyone. The owner's love of food and welcoming personality is clearly exhibited in each of his brilliantly hand crafted treats.

It's a little on the expensive side, but for this kind of attention to detail you'll gladly be awaiting the next valentines, mother's day, etc. so that you can sneak a bite for yourself.

• Pros: exotic flavors
• Cons: price

In Short
What started as a home-based confectioner's chocolate-making business turned into a full-fledged neighborhood cafe in 2007. It's a stark, minimalist design with concrete floors, a handful of cafe tables and plenty of exposed baking and candy-making equipment. Owner Will Gustwiller's sea salt caramels, coated with imported chocolate are just the beginning. In addition to a widely-read chocolate lovers blog, he also creates elaborate chocolate-only menus, with everything from chocolate chip waffles to cocoa-crusted bacon. Sign up for one of the candy-making classes held in the back of the cafe to get the full effect of Gustwiller's committment to chocolate.
