The Chocolate Bar

This place is great! They are an actual chocolatier and café. Everything is beautiful. I had some of their chocolates and a brownie because it was just too hot for coffee. There was no one there even though the crappy Subway next door was packed! I guess their location is holding them back? I will definitely come back before I leave town. It’s a great place for anyone who loves sweets or coffee. They have cute shaped solid milk chocolates for the kids.

I have stopped here several times since they opened in February of 2011. The chocolate is beyond yummy. The truffles are so diverse. The pastries are divine. So why not 5 stars? I have stopped before when the sign on the door said they were open, but they were closed. This spring I stopped with 2 other ladies, there were 2 ladies going in ahead of us, and all 5 of us were told they were closing and we were herded out the door. I usually spend about $ 30 when I stop. With 5 ladies wanting chocolate, to not serve us was a loss of sales and down right dangerous!

This place is like Wonka’s Chocolate factory! I’m sorry that we just discovered it on our way out of town. They make 90% of their goodies in-​store, and everything looks amazing. They have counters full of fudge, chocolate-​covered everything, beautiful truffles, and other candies. They also serve breakfast, pastries, coffee, soft-​serve, smoothies, beer, etc. We tried the pecan turtles, a truffle, and a caramel apple. The caramel apple (covered with swirls of dark and white chocolate) was RIDICULOUS. I usually get a caramel apple as a treat on special occasions, and this was far and away the best that either of us had ever tried. The apple was so tart and juicy, which was perfect with the caramel. My husband wanted «one bite» which turned into eating half of it. We will definitely be back to satisfy our sweet tooth every time we pass through Townsend.
