[其他飲食] Chocolate Chocolate

Prelude

Hi,

I want to buy some high end dark chocolate as a gift.
I found some online from France, but the shipping is almost as much as the product.

I try Thomas Hass (spelling?), they don't look good enough.

here is an example:

Price range between $40 to $80, any suggestion?

You mean you had dark chocolate from Thomas Haas and you didn't like how they taste??
They have a W. broadway location now.

For French chocolate, I had la maison du chocolat when I was in NYC. And it was really good. Not sure if your friend likes it or not. (prob expensive shipping..etc)
www.lamaisonduchocolat.com

For hand crafted chocolate, there is also:
Chocolaterie de la Nouvelle France on E 21st. (near Main)
It's by a girl from Montreal.
mentioned in some online site:

The la maison is surely expensive to deliver.
I will check out Chocolaterie de la Nouvelle France for sure.

Thanks.

More suggestions are appreciated.

Mink Chocolates in downtown
Love their mint chocolate beverage

Chcoatl in yaletown, Bill Gates' favorite hot chocolate/

"...most famously by Bill Gates, when he said that Chocoatl’s hot chocolate was the best he had ever tasted."

but haven't seen Chcoatl opening when I walked by for the last few times...not sure are they closed temporarily or something.

Thanks, looks like mink is in my price range.  I can get a $42 gift set + some other stuff.

How's the quality of the choco, I am not really a choco person, but my friend is.
