I do agree the prices are high, but they're really not as high as some other boutique chocolate brands, and I just think they do the most wonderful bars.

I went and got a panko bar and it is delicious. The texture is amazing and it's the perfect amount of darkness for me. That shop is so dangerous. I wanted one of everything - a Mexican hot chocolate, some gelato, some bonbons (the individual chocolates), and the bars. While I do think their prices are high ($2.25 for an indiviaul bonbon, $6 for a bar) and some of the combinations seem a bit odd (goat cheese and black pepper?), they are extremely high quality. Thanks for the review Robin! Update! I went and got a panko bar and it is delicious. The texture is amazing and it’s the perfect amount of darkness for me. That shop is so dangerous.

When I finally tried one (back in 2008, so I'm guessing it was the milk chocolate one), there was something I did not like about it. Maybe I'll try the dark one and see if I like that better. And Chuao is based nearby and there is a shop walking distance from my office - maybe I'll go over at lunch and try the panko bar. My favorite choco combinations are dark chocolate with mint or with cinnamon (and sometimes chili) which is pretty common here in SD as it's the traditional Mexican chocolate used for hot chocolate. 65% is my max for dark chocolate - my boyfriend prefers 70-80%.

Wish they were easier to get a hold of. And L'artisan du Chocolat in the UK do a fab matcha choc bar.

They really do taste stemmy, bush-like (can't think of any other way to describe it) and for the mint, fresh as a bunch you picked from the garden!
