Cocoa Bean Shoppe

If it were not for a Groupon special for a chocolate tasting class we would never have discovered this place on Main Street in Pittsford. I understand it has been in business for three years and until recently was located across the street.
The two of us along with four others attended a Saturday afternoon, hour long, class on chocolate tasting. I must say I did learn alot about cocoa, chocolate styles (French vs. Belgian), and we tasted a wide variety of cocoa/​chocolate. I give Nadia, the owner, credit for trying this approach as a way to market her small shop because it must be very difficult making such a place profitable.
The store itself has a very narrow and small selection of grand cru and single source chocolate. I’m guessing there are not many places in town that handle this type of chocolate. This is not the place to go if you are looking for name brand fancy chocolate but if you are into this particular niche of chocolate you should check it out.
