Dreamy smells, dreamy counter help and oh, yes, chocolate.

After snapping out of the daze caused by the marvelous accents of the lithe French men who work here, you'll notice that everything is the color of warm chocolate tones. The tiny little confections are all delectable--especially the coffre de truffles (truffle-covered chocolates infused with "Fine Champagne" cognac). The store sells a lot of chocolate by the pound (brisk business is done on the website). It also moves many less traditional, including chocolate covered fruit and chestnuts, and chocolate milk mix. Novices can try the initiation box, which features 20 different chocolates and some tasting advice.
