Overstuffed chairs...and prices too!

Well, I was in the mood to indulge my chocolate senses and thought I would give this place a try. I didn't know I would have to take out a mortgage on my house to do so. Man, this place is exxxpensive--even for an alleged 'gourmet' chocolate place. And even more disheartening was the actual chocolate--nothing to write home about, certainly no better (if even as good as) Godiva or Moonstruck. It was only later on a friend told me that it was a chain of stores owned by Mars...as in, M&M's.

That explained the less than stellar chocolate quality, but sure didn't explain the platinum pricing. Don't say we didn't warn you..

As for me, well, next time I crave some cocoa, I might just buy some Bosco and Hershey kisses...a whole lot cheaper chocolate fix!

• Pros: smells good
• Cons: costs an arm and a leg...and then some!
