This second-generation chocolatier is a fun stop, and not just for a box of hand-crafted truffles. The chocolate factory sits at the end of an industrial park, and you’ll find the shop around the back of the building. After you choose your chocolates, make sure to take a stroll through the mini-museum. You’ll see the entire chocolate process, from cocoa nut to candy, and have a peek through the window at the crew crafting the confections. Not quite Charlie and The Chocolate Factory, but close! Lots of fun novelties are available, including these foil-wrapped lobsters. Grab a few jars of espresso ice-cream sauce, too.
