We forgot. It always sneaks up on us, being squarely in the middle of our Valentine's Day rush. Thursday came and went without much fanfare, but it feels like a tremendous accomplishment.
I like to tell the story the way my mom tells me about my birth every year. "At this moment, 4 years ago, we were feverishly preparing to open for our first Wednesday ever. Jael was at home, finishing up a Quintessential Chocolate Cake (which looked completely different back then  shavings covered the whole thing, not just the sides), before strapping 11 month-old Max into the car seat to make a delivery. I was already here, counting the till and wiping down the displays...."
Four years. What a long, strange, fortuitous trip its been. Here's to another 4, ChoLo!
Love & Chocolate,
Jael & Dan

Chocolate Bar Availability Update |
We gave you the juicy details about our shipment of beans from Piura, Peru. What we didn't mention was that a few bars are already in very small production right now! Check them out and if you'd like to try them when they're available, we will ship as soon as we can! Don't expect these babies by Valentine's Day, in case you were hankering. Patience, my dears!
Another exciting development in Chocolate Factory construction....there's a hole in the roof! This is our penthouse roof access, so that we can...uh, access the roof. Wherefore do we need to access the roof? For solar roasting in our prototype homemade parabolic trough solar concentrating roaster, of course!!! Want to watch as the factory takes shape? Start here, and check back regularly for more updates!
Speaking of solar.....the Lounge has also been solarized! As part of the Green Restaurant Initiative, we're been able to install panels on our roof to provide the restaurant with renewable energy and reduce our carbon footprint. We knew that's what the Lounge really wanted for its birthday.
