Walk in, taste, take home
A narrow, bright chocolate shop, not a café: you walk the white-hex aisle between dark-wood walls, stop at the long tasting counter in the middle, lift a dome, and take a box or a jar home.
The walk
Enter past the till counter at the front, then down a white-hex-tile aisle between two dark-wood walls of shelving, to a back counter where a staff member stands. Bright day light comes from rows of black track spots and recessed ceiling lights, with warm light inside the shelf bays and the white floor bouncing it back. The shop reads as a quiet stop: one staff member, no crowd scene.
The tasting counter
Down the middle runs a long dark-wood tasting counter carrying white plates of chocolate pieces, each under a glass cloche. The pieces, as they look: dark pieces, cocoa-dusted rounds, white-swirl pieces, red pieces, green citrus-looking pieces. You taste standing at the counter — lift a dome, then decide what to take home.
The take-home wall
The walk ends at the cubby wall of jars, boxes and wrapped bouquets — the take-home decision. Jars with kraft-paper labels tied with twine and boxes printed with city names stack as the wall itself. The jars and boxes are things to take home, not dishes to order — tasting at the counter is how you choose.
