But the soul of the place belongs to chocolate. Owner Evan Church doesn’t make it, but he stocks hundreds of beautifully packaged bars from small producers all over the world. The mix is constantly changing but you might find Fossa Chocolate (and its chili-peanut-praline chocolate) from Singapore, Standout from Sweden (no flavors but its 70% single-origin from India might be his favorite), LetterPress (Los Angeles) made from cacao grown on the Bachelor’s Hall estate in Jamaica, or the chocolate-covered honeycomb from Mirzam Emirati in the United Arab Emirates.</p>
